Places to see, Contests to Enter

I am done being Debbie Downer! I’ve had a really good day, and I wanted to tell you about some fun stuff to win!

First, over at Reviewin’ It Up, we’ve got a great giveaway with EcoStore USA this week here. I loved using their earth-friendly products and now you can win some!

Secondly, at Blissful Style, we’re giving away a sweeeeeeet pair of jeans from Alias Premium Denim. Check that out here. Your booty will thank you.

Carry on!

Running on Empty

I’m as happy as I can be to see the calendar turn to March. January was emotionally rough and before I had full recovered it was February. And February was busy, insanely busy and full of anxiousness for me. It started out by frantically preparing for BlissDom, and then the amazing-crazy-fun-ecstasy that was BlissDom, and THEN the major post-BlissDom letdown when my house was a wreck and I couldn’t seem to get my groove back.

Then followed two weeks of ridiculous kindergarten-registration-preparation-anxiety and finally, preparations for Joshua’s 5th birthday party.

Somewhere in between kindergarten anxiety and birthday party prep, I just started to feel really…inadequate.

Inadequate as a mother, a wife, a blogger, and a person in general. I am an organizational nightmare, and I feel like life would be so much easier if I could get a good schedule going.

I am hoping March brings me the opportunities I need to recharge, refresh, re-organize (I feel that if I didn’t suck so badly at time management my life would run a lot more smoothly) and re-energize.

I also really hope it gets warmer. ‘Cause 25 degrees on the first day of March? SUCKS. And a little sunshine? Would probably do wonders to improve my mood!

Weekly Winners: Joshua’s Birthday edition

Friday, on Joshua’s birthday, we took him to a really cool place about 40 minutes away called Entertrainment Junction (emphasis on the train). We had an awesome time! I’ll blog more about it later, but here are some of my favorite photos from our outing.

Joshua was transfixed by the miniature train displays.

They had a miniature car show set up on one of the train displays. I thought this lady and her blue car were sassy!
