Hello!

Sooooo...I'm in Ohio.

Wait, what?!

Yeah, I'm totally in Ohio. I couldn't tell you beforehand because my mom reads my blog {hi, Mom!} and the trip was a birthday surprise for her. Lucy and I flew in on Tuesday and will fly back to Alberta on Wednesday. So there will be no Good News/Bad News this week. I didn't bring my laptop with me and I don't have access to the files I need. But I'll be back soon and I'll tell you all about my trip!

Carry on!

Lucy is sick.
Tissues everywhere; they are her arch nemesis. Nose wiping is the new water boarding. She’s never been a naughty child, but boy, is she a snotty child.
Night time is no longer for sleeping. It’s for tossing, turning, whining and snoring. It’s also for keeping Mama awake.
A trip to the store is in order…vapor-rub, special nose-friendly wipes, anything that might make her feel better.
Nothing is getting done today. Why not? It’s not like I have things to do…oh, wait. I do.
*sigh*
Oh, well. I just hope she gets well soon.
Sick babies = heartsick mamas.

The good news?

• I’m bringing Good News/Bad News back {by request}!
• The weather has been beautiful!
• I have not yet killed my orchid that we bought a few weeks ago.
• Spring will be here soon.

The bad news?

• We all seem to be fighting off colds. Lucy’s got a pretty horrible-sounding cough in the mornings when she wakes up.
• Adam has test after test after test coming up.
• I saw the movie “2012” and can never get that time back.

Today I’m asking a favor. Below are two blogs that I’d like you to visit. Give them a browse, leave a comment. Why? These lovely ladies participated in the Valentine’s Day Exchange, but didn’t receive a package. :( So let’s help make up for that by giving them some bloggy love!
Like My Baby is by Wendy. She is a mom to a toddler and a cancer survivor.
It’s a Hodgepodge Life is by Gay. She’s quite the crafter! She even has an Etsy shop!
If you still haven’t linked up your post for the exchange you can do that here.  A big thank you to everyone who participated!

All right, the poll results are in. The vast majority of those who voted want me to post more often, and to bring back “Good News/Bad News.” So I will. Check in on Sunday if you’d like to participate in “Good News/Bad News.” The votes for reviews and giveaways and the votes against were fairly close. So I plan to continue what I’ve been doing, which is to try to be picky about what things I review/giveaway and limit how often it happens. In fact I have an upcoming one I’m excited about from a business that specializes in kids bedding, toys, and games. I also am trying to put together some fun stuff for later this month to celebrate MS Awareness Month.
Thank you so much for your input. You can look forward to more regular posts from now on.
Also, how ‘bout that Canadian men’s hockey team, eh?!
