Check out the Official Wordless Wednesday HQ Tag, you're it: Wordless Wednesday It stopped raining (YAY!) so looking forward to FINALLY getting out of the house for the NWF: Be Out There Challenge...um...as soon as my two oldest girls, you know, wake up!

As a longtime National Wildlife Federation supporter (yes, we have wildlife...in Jersey!) I am very excited to be a part of their Be Out There Campaign and modestly tweeted, the same: I'm taking the NWF #BeOutThere Challenge w/o March 29! (http://bit.ly/bTeL0C) 'cawse, we've got wildlife IN JOISEY, too ya' know! #NWFMoms So, here it is, DAY 1 of our spring break/challenge AND you want to know how it's working out, so far?

Cross-posted to our 365 Days microblog project -- by just me and my little red point-and-shoot! When I first started blogging, 7 years ago, way back before SEO's and keywords ruled the world wide web, I was chasing after 4 kids, all under the age of 10 and This Full House was ALL about "teh funny!"

Whenever my good blogging friend, Dawn (a.k.a. brilliantly funny author of Because I Said So) would complain about being under attack by comment trolls, I imagined a bunch of snotty little evil basterds, camping out on her blog (pictured above) seriously, what IS it with mean-spirited people, anyways? I mean, the woman has 6 kids, I really don't think she needs any help in dealing with suckage. I guess I empathize with Dawn's self-deprecating humor, seeing as I've been making fun of myself, openly on the internet, for years now (see virtual tour) and, well, there ARE worse things than...

Did you know that this week, March 15th to March 21st, is National Wildlife Week? [sound of crickets chirping] I know what you're thinking -- what's next, Worldwide Pond Slime Day-- perhaps most parents (like me) will agree (especially, if your children are older) these days, getting kids outside and away from computer games, Facebook, Miley Cyrus, whatever, well, you'd think I was asking them to eat dirt, right? "But, it's sooooooo hot!" Heaven knows, I'm no saint (shuddup, Busy Mom and I thought you said you burned those BlogHer pics, Jenn?) I spend more time, at home, sitting in... Read more →
