Monday Random Roundup

Random Thought
I am addicted to Project Rant.

Cannot.
Stop.
Watching.


Thought of the Morning
Monkey Boy decided last week that he’s done with taking his second nap of the day... Does wailing and throwing dust on top of your head in front of your child scar them for life?

Just wondering.


Blog Love
I don’t always get a chance to post awards that I receive (I am lazy. I get lazy to add all the links, the award picture, etc., etc. SORRY!), but I am very thankful and do really enjoy receiving them. I think the bloggers who award them to me are wonderful.

So here, two awards that I have recently received:

Blog de Ouro Award (The Gold Blog Award)

Thank you, Sara!

And look! Only ONE Rule! In order to claim it, you have to pass it on to eight bloggers. I’d like to nominate these eight blogging mamas that I haven’t nominated before:

Random Picture
Most of you out there would probably not post your giveaway winnings, but since I never win anything, I’m shouting it from the mountaintops: I won a giveaway! GET OUT!




Hosted by the fantastic Suzanne from Shabby Chicks, my grand prize came in the mail a week ago with all these goodies! Monkey and I ate all the cookies in two days - they were yummy delicious – and I’m currently obsessed with that Nina Garcia book, “The Little Black Book of Style”.

Thank you, Suzanne! You can’t feel it, but I’m giving you a great, big, bear hug right now!

CONGRATS ON YOUR AWARDS AND WINNING A GIVE AWAY! I'm shouting for you too! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
I never win either LOL

Sara Bonds said...

Congrats on the awards and giveaway winning! I assume I will never win anything, so I have only ever entered two giveaways . . . ever! LOL. I didn't win. haha

Nina said...

Oh my son stopped two naps before he even turned one. Now I get a one (if I am lucky) two hour nap once a day.

Buckeroomama said...

Thanks for passing on the award. So sweet of you! :) I'll get to posting it sometime this week.

Congrats on your giveaway win. I never enter these things anymore cuz I never win. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I also call my thumb a "black thumb" as opposed to green when it comes to gardening. The sunflowers are a real easy plant. They do attract a lot of bugs, but a great organic based spray for bugs worked. You just have to keep doing it. Good luck if you do decide to plant some. Take care.

Congrats on the giveaway winnings. I'm totally jealous! That's a great set of fun things to have won. And you are more than welcome. You totally deserve these awards!

Mommy24cs said...

Thanks alot Jennifer for now making me addicted to Project Rant! I've now wasted an hour of precious cleaning time. HA like I was going to clean today anyway!! Seriously though that is some funny stuff :o)

Congrats on your awards, you deserve them!

Now I'm off to watch some more ranting, I mean I'm off to do some laundry ;p

Sweet Serendipity said...

Hi from SITS! Your blog is too cute! Love those little converse!

The Blonde Duck said...

Thank you for the award! It was SOOOOOOOOOO sweet of you to pass it on to me!

I'm actually leaving for vacation in a bit and am in a huge tizzy b/c we're moving at work and it's my mother's birthday and my boss's birthday (Seriously, you think they could spread these things out, you know?) , but I'll hand it out to folks when I get back.

Alicia said...

Oh..and awesome about the giveaway! It's always fun to win things!! LOL

Helene said...

Congratulations on the awards! I get lazy too about posting mine.

It's completely acceptable to sob like a baby when your child gives up that treasured 2nd nap. When my 4 yr olds stopped napping, I think I sobbed for 3 days straight.

Congrats on winning the giveaway!!

Savvy Mode SG said...

congrat on your awards. you have a cute blog.

blueviolet said...

Yay for the great prize and the awards! How could it be that I've never heard of Project Rant before?

Kristen Andrews said...

woot look at the fun prize you won! I am lazy w/ awards too and always feel bad when I don't do them.

Sara @ Domestically Challenged said...

Awesome prize! I am super lazy when it comes to blog awards too. I hate it and need to get better!

Veronica Lee said...

Congrats on the awards. They're well deserved, Jennifer.

Banteringblonde said...

well congrats to you! and how cool is that prize!

JamericanSpice said...

Congrats on your awards and winnings! Sounds like a very nice bundle.

Maybe you'll win mine too if you come enter (wait did I just advert myself????)

Oh and with the nap - done thing..no worries. Baby still go into room and stay quietly for the same nap period. You can't make him sleep, but then you can make him stay in room until that period is up...gosh I sound mean.

lz @ My Messy Paradise said...

I just saw this - thank you!! Awww, shucks...
