Hi all you wonderful readers! It's Friday so I wanted to share with you some great links I came across this week, plus because I'm in such a fab mood I wanted to giveaway 1 large and 2 medium ad spaces for the month of September.
But first, the good stuff...my favorite blog of the week! Let me introduce you to Carlee of Life Smith. Carlee started to follow my blog over 2 years ago...and because the universe is so absolutely amazing, it turns out not only did I move to her town, but I literally moved up the street from her and her husband (before we knew each other in real life). Now we're practically neighbors, real life friends, and guess what, she recently announced on her blog that she's preggers too! (She also announced that they might be moving to a different part of town...major sad face). Anyway, she's awesome and hilarious and you should go check her blog out.
So how cool is this? Framed wallpaper. I love it, and this week The Paper Mama blogged about how she made hers. It turned out so cute! I have a blank wall in my bedroom I'm thinking about sprucing it up this way.
Metropolitan Mama introduced me to a company called Thred Up. THIS IS SO FLIPPING AWESOME. Resell your kids clothes and select new pieces. You know I love thrifting, and now I can do it without leaving my house? Yes please! (Can you tell I'm just a tad bit excited to shop for Parker Penny?).
The New York Times posted this article about moms and weight; ironically the author of the article just had her third baby, is battling her own weight gain, and happens to be the editor of US weekly. Very interesting.
Ok, now for the free ad space! I get questions emailed to me often about me and my life, so I thought I'd do a Q&A post next week with your questions. My top 3 favorite questions you ask will get you a free large ad space for the month of September, and then the next 2 will get medium ad spaces. So ask me anything! (If you are currently advertising with me and I chose your question, I will upgrade your ad once it expires).
Link Up! Anything goes, link up your favorite post of the week or your favorite links that you came across. Please just grab my button or link back to me and check out some other fabulous bloggers.

ReplyDeleteK- kinda personal, but my inquiring mind wanders... :)
Q: What ethnicity are you? (I get asked this and it gets irritating sometimes so here's me paying it forward, LOL, sorry! :) Do you have any strong cultural traditions/influences that you want to make sure play a role in little Parker's life?
Ooo love the idea of giving you questions!
