Crazytown Over Here

Lets just say that something big occurred this past weekend and I can’t divulge any of the details for a few more weeks but it is over taking my personal life right now.  On top of that we have a fussy baby who is teething and super clingy which makes it challenging for me to work on things that I want/need to do because she wants to be held and Neil is crazy busy at work (per usual).  I am hoping that things will settle down a little bit by this weekend so I can work on all these posts I have in my head but until then I’ll just keep you guessing.

Happy Thanksliving!

Happy Thanksliving to everyone!

Today I am thankful for my wonderful family most of all my amazing, hardworking, supportive and caring husband and my wonderful little bundle of joy, Edith.

Today we are spending the morning/afternoon with family and then heading home to have a wonderful vegan feast with two (omnivore) friends. Hope you enjoy your day!

Giving Back This Holiday Season

Every December Neil and I take a trip to the mall and choose a child from the giving tree to buy a gift.  The card has the gender, age and an item the child wants/needs.  This is a tradition that I started with my mom when I was a child and Neil and I have continued the tradition since we started dating.  Now that we have Edith this is a tradition that we plan to continue and have her participate in as well.

In a few weeks Neil, Edith and I will head to the mall, choose a child from the tree and shop for a gift.  The one thing that will be different this year however is that you can help determine how much we will spend on the gift. All you have to do is take the survey below. For every person who completes the feedback survey we will put $1 towards the gift.

So in exchange for two minutes (or less) of your time your survey response can count towards a $1 donation for a child in need this holiday season.

I know I have had ad number of surveys on the blog over the years but with all these changes that have occurred in the last few months I feel like I need to do another on.  I wasn’t sure what role the blog would play in my life once Edith arrived and how or even if I would want to keep up with it, but now here we are four and half months later and I realize I love having this blog because it is an outlet for me.  However, I have found that I have lost a little bit of direction and what I should be posting here versus on Naturally Family. So now this why I am calling out to you to help give me a little bit of direction as to what you want to read.

Get Out And Vote!

I don’t discuss politics on the blog for obvious reasons but no matter what your political views are get out there today and vote! Your vote is your voice let it be heard!

I was going to vote this morning but E decided to get up at 4am (I blame daylight savings) so I was more focused on getting a little rest and coffee in me before Neil left. I figured I’d go when Neil got home tonight because we are a one car family and he was taking the car to work.  Then I got to thinking it’s only 3.6 miles round trip to the polling station, maybe I could just walk.  I decided to take the chance that E might fuss the whole way but I was going to go (and good thing I did because Neil’s prospects of arriving home in time for me to vote is looking grim).  So E and I walked…err I walked the 3.6 miles with E in the Ergo.  The walk was amazing! E slept for 70% of it, the sun was shinning and absolutely no fussing!

Anyways if E and I can walk 3.6 miles to vote you can get out and vote too!
