Squidoo Queen Over -Delivers

Happy New Year's Eve,

I just wanted to pop in and let you all know I have posted a review of Squidoo Queen at my Internet Marketing for Mommies blog.

I am a huge fan of Squidoo. I have so much fun over there, and I'm starting to make some decent money too. If you are looking for a way to make some extra money, and you don't have your own product or a website, or a list ~ check out Squidoo.

If you are really interested in making money quick I'd check out Squidoo Queen it will definitely lessen your learning curve. I wish I'd picked it up sooner. I figured out a lot of it on my own, but it would have been a lot quicker to just buy this book. :)



PS. If you are looking to learn the ins and outs of building lenses and marketing on Squidoo stop by the 30 Day Marketing Experiment. January's experiment is Squidoo!!

Capture the moments!

During the "stolen camera" scare I was looking for an affordable small camera I would be able to keep with me. Then I found my camera and didn't think twice about it. I had talked to my husband about the one I would have gotten had I needed it.

I must have been a good girl this year, because even though we said no gifts for each other, Santa made his way to my house, and brought with him the Canon PowerShot SD1000.

It is so little and fun. I have started carrying a little tiny purse since I have this great big diaper bag filled with Hanna's stuff and big fat cloth diapers. This little camera fits right in my purse with plenty of room to spare!!

I got some gift certificates for books for Christmas and we were all at the bookstore the other night. Hanna was getting fussy while Ryan finished looking at his books. We were standing right next to the CD rack, and since she loves music I thought I'd put the headphones on her and see what would happen. (I made sure the volume was low)

There happened to be a NOW ~ pop music CD right there, and it had her favorite songs on it. She started bouncing around the store, laughing, singing and dancing.

I thought to myself, "oh I wish I had my camera" . . . I did have my camera!!!

I whipped it out and took some shots of her and here they are.



This is pretty fun!! I probably should have saved these for Wednesday, but I couldn't wait!!

Thursday Thirteen ~ Books We Got for Christmas

I have been trying to get a Thursday Thirteen in for the last few weeks and always forget and post something else. Today I remembered!!! We happened to have received 13 books for Christmas, between us all. :) Here goes.

I'll let you know how it goes as I finish each one!!!

Wordless Wednesday!

Hope everyone had a wonder-filled and joyous holiday!

We could never get her to seat in a stroller when it was hers. :) Now she won't stay out of it.

It's beginning to look a lot like . . .

Christmas!!

We had a lovely blizzard yesterday, and now there is snow on the ground ~ where it didn't get blown away.

The gifts are wrapped ~ Hanna's trying to unwrap already.

We are going down to Tulsa today to see Hubby's side of the family. I hope the roads are better today.

Yesterday we made the mistake of trying to go to town. (it hadn't really started snowing yet here). We got to Wellington which is usually a 15 minute drive and realized there was no way we were going to make it to Wichita. We stopped for breakfast and it got worse and worse. We decided to stop in the new Super Walmart and try to wait it out.

After a few HOURS in Walmart I was like, it's not stopping, can we just get home? It took us an hour to get home. There were times when you literally could not see ANYTHING!!! It was really scary. At least, thank God, Hanna picked that direction of the trip to sleep. :) It would have been seriously Awful if she had been screaming the whole way.

So I just popped on before we leave to say hello and Merry Christmas to you all.

Have a wonderful, safe, joy-filled holiday, and I will be back on Wednesday.

I'm cooking dinner on Tuesday here at the house, for my mom, her husband, my grandpa and his girlfriend, so it will be fun. I'm sure there will be pictures. (I did get my camera back!)

Merry Christmas!!

A Holiday Miracle

Ok, I'm not talking 34th street kind of miracle here, but a miracle nonetheless.

Wednesday we had our annual Christmas Luncheon and then my mom and I went out to finish (or start) the Christmas shopping as the case may be. I got into an argument with Ryan while I was out and feeling upset, seriously pissed off and a little taken advantage of.

We finished a little shopping, not nearly as much as we'd hoped, I already mentioned that Hanna screamed the whole way home.

I was seriously wore out by the time I got home. I brought in most of the stuff from the truck and put it on the kitchen table. I had this weird dream that night ~ about my camera. I couldn't find my camera.

I woke up yesterday and looked on the table ~ no camera. I thought maybe I had left the camera in the truck, it wasn't there.

I had a pretty strong intuitive feeling that someone had stolen it out of the car while we were in Border's. I was so upset!!! I love that camera. It's my prized possession. I got it for Christmas 3 years ago and I use it just about every single day. (and it wasn't cheap). I called my mom last night to see if somehow I had grabbed it and accidentally taken it in her house when I dropped her off.

I was a little nervous to ask my mom about it, she gave me the camera and I didn't want her to know I lost it. It wasn't there.

I went to bed heartbroken last night that my camera was gone. Christmas is coming and now I had no camera to capture the moments. :(

I woke up this morning and started looking at cameras online. Pricing, trying to find something that I could get just so I would have pictures of the holidays. It wouldn't be my digital rebel, but it would be something.

My mom called to see if I had found it. She said, "Jackie, just call Lois. I really feel like it's at Lois'". I was like, no I totally REMEMBER bumping into it and knocking of the lens cap while we were in the parking lot at the vet. (I DO STILL REMEMBER THAT!!!!) She just told me to call, just to make sure.

I called Lois, just in case, and sure enough. My camera is there.

I don't know how ~ I know I put it in the car. I know I had it with us all afternoon. I know I knocked the lens cap off and put it back on. I know I saw it before we went into Borders. It was there.

Now it's at Lois'. Thank you Universe.

I'm going to go pick it up today. :)

Damn ~ I wish I had my camera. Hanna is putting a tissue paper "diaper" on her dolly. First time she's done that aaaawwww.
