spring photos

i’ve been taking pictures of my kids like mad lately. i love that i don’t have to bundle them up for an hour before we can even walk out the door.

i’m thinking of giving this one some kind of editing.

chloe’s birthday!

this was at the end of the day. the long long birthday party day.

PayPerPost

A good friend of mine has been getting paid for blogging about web sites, products, services, and companies and she recommended I check out PayPerPost.com. She has made some serious money and was fairly convincing of the idea that with a little dedication I could do the same.
Even though I have two all consuming children, I can usually still squeeze in some internet time. I’ve been blogging for years about my life, the things I love, and the products/companies/websites I’ve enjoyed. PayPerPost helps bloggers get paid for creating and publishing advertiser sponsored content. I will review, promote and market products, services and websites on behalf of PayPerPost advertisers. I thought that I may as well make some much needed extra cash from the people who benefit from my opinions as I have no shortage of opinion about nearly everything. And I feel that honest reviews of products are worth my time.
There were some requirements to be met to have my blog accepted and sadly I was rejected the first time around. I needed to post blogs more regularly anyway and with my children getting older and more independent I’ve finally been able to do so. The website was clean and user friendly- no problems navigating or understanding the information. I was pleased with the word of mouth ethics at payperpost too.
I’m pretty excited to be presented with the opportunity to use my blog to make some money.
And in case you were wondering, I have no intention of selling my soul…just my blog posting prowess.

chloe’s one year appointment went well. as well as can be expected considering she got four shots.

the doctor is always impressed with her. she was being her usual sweet self.

i’m ready to stop nursing her but she’s not giving up without a fight. really i think she eats more now that i have decided to stop. so much for that.

 we have been going to the park every day. we need the exercise but trying to keep an eye on both of them by myself makes me paranoid & crazy.

i made a box

i love joseph cornell . since forever.

so i’ve been working on art boxes (emily got me started). i will try to take a photo of the one i’ve just finished but chloe has had a fever since late yesterday & she is clinging. i’m going to start another.

swear she’s not always sick…i just seem to always be updating when she is sleeping it off.

i also got some new necklace supplies.

i’ve got a load of new craft supplies coming in the mail  thanks to my lovely husband & i’m not a patient girl.

 i also have 2 puking babies. the only thing chloe can keep down  is breastmilk.  so i’m kind of glad i don’t have to stare across the room at my new stuff that i can’t play with right now anyway.

noah decided it was time to get up at around 4 am…

i’m making things

necklace

arty

i have been making things. actually i’m in some sort of creative frenzy & i hope some of these things are going to be nice enough to earn a little extra money. because i’ve been buying art supplies everyday.

i want to do some paintings too but i’ve made mostly art necklaces.

noah & chloe are settling into the idea that i’m doing something besides catering to them. they are into it because they are making more art too. often their’s is better than mine.
