A few of my "real life friends" (meaning, the ones who don't blog!) have rolled their eyes and asked me, "How do you find the time to blog?" (read that with a nice, judgy tone)
I thought about it, and I think that for me, I make a little bit of time every night after the girls are in bed. If I didn't make the time to express myself in some little way, I think I'd be locked in a straight jacket by now!
I got used to pulling off last-minute English papers in college, including my final Senior research paper (and power point presentation/speech!) that had something to do with heroism in The Aeneid vs. Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde. My finest moment and yet not my finest moment. (I got an A.)
So writing a little post on Why I Love Toddlers or A Tutorial on Making an Embellished Burlap Table Runner is not as time consuming as one might think.
I really just needed some "Serenity Now!" and this is one way I find it! Thanks for sharing it with me.
Since I'm doing a Giveaway today for the Decorating Dilemmas Party, I think I'll save a celebration Giveaway for next month as a Christmas thing. I hope you'll check back in to see what's going on!
Today, I am thankful that I have a blog to get all my thoughts out so I don't go crazy. I bet my family is thankful for that too!
{What are you thankful for today?}
Link up at the bottom of this post, and please include a link back to me here at this post on your blog post!
Moving on...

Wow! Congratulations on 300 posts!
ReplyDeleteI'm thankful that after an October that broke all records for rainfall, we've had an entire week of sun!

I am thankful for Life...
ReplyDeleteI love this post...because I feel the same way about blogging. I've only been at it for a couple of months but am loving it! It's a way to do some writing which I love, share ideas, be creative, and find so many other interesting ladies out there!! And after the kiddos go to bed is the perfect time to do it!!
ReplyDeleteHappy blogging anniversary! It takes some dedication to post that many blogs.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on 300 posts! I hope you do bring the decorating dilemmas back in January and I hope I time to pull together a post for it before then!
ReplyDeleteToday, I am thankful for rain and sunshine because I saw two different beautiful rainbows while I was driving to and from appointments for work and they made me smile.
Happy #300, my friend! Wow...that is a whole heck of alot of posts, sister...you go!
ReplyDeleteBTW, I am LOVING the pic of your calves in those skinny jeans. Cute, cute, cute. Next time I will need a full body shot. I am slowly, but surely building up the courage to rock me some skinny jeans...with an appropriately long top, of course!
Kisses

Congrats on your 300th post!!
ReplyDeleteI'm thankful that my hangover isn't as bad as it should be. I was a bad girl last night!
