Fun Bloggy Stuff

So just something fun to see how often you use the same words over and over....apparently TIME is a big thing for me. I guess it makes me happy that there are no ugly words here. That the things I talk about most are random and silly and harmless.

Head over to Wordle to see what your blog says about you.

I am dressing the place up

I read most of my blogs in Google Reader. I love that I can organize them by my own little categories, for example: Crafty, Mommy Blogs, Funny. So when I want to see some humor...straight to the Funny folder to see my LOL Cats for some giggles.

So I usually do not see the hard work that people have done to dress up their space. (Sorry!) But when I do see something that I MUST comment upon, I go and I see lovely, colorful sites, and buttons.

Buttons! Everyone who is anyone in Bloggyland has a Button.
Well...I wanted a button. But where do they come from? Do I have to buy a button? I came across a tutorial  from Shannon that instructed you in the ways of  Making your own Button. So I tried it...So user friendly! And I made my very own button! And a box with the code in it! Too cool. So if you want your very own button, I suggest you head over to Mommybits.net and follow her excellant directions!

Now I am going to figure out a banner...and whatever fun stuff I can add without making the place look trashy. :)

Cool stuff in Bloggyland

There is always something going on in the Blog-world. Sometimes its funny, sometimes it makes you thoughtful, and sometimes, its something that could possible save you some time.

I participate in Organizing Junkie's Mean Planning Monday...I try to do a meal plan that lasts about two weeks and I hit the grocery store with list in hand. I also try to add a new recipe in every week or two, just because I get tired of eating the same thing, over and over and over and over....you get my drift.

Today I came across The Red Chair Blog.

And this SO Amazing post she did to help with Meal Planning. Meal Planning Magnets.

She has a tutorial that makes it look super easy, and I cant wait to try it out! (Although I dont have any of the junk magnets she used, I will have to hit the local craft store to see what I can use to improvise.)

DH is actually pretty good at taking stuff out of the freezer to defrost if he knows what dinner is planned. It makes life so much easier for us both!
