the truth about this week

hi my name is wende and i am a blogging lame-o this week. the truth is, it's been kind of a bleh week and i have been lurking and commenting on other's blogs but never really felt like i had anything to blog about myself. it started out ok, i loved have everyone home for the holiday, especially because we stayed in our pjs all day and played board games and a wii family bowling tournament. this is turning into a really fun day-off tradition around here. i started our friend cooking blog which you can check out here and so i was inspired to bake that day too. but then, tuesday we missed play group and stayed inside all day because ethan has another dreadful cold. the whole week has been pretty much in doors with an onry two year old. so as i was lurking on some other blogs, i noticed jill's spt - pick me up post in which she talks about how when she needs a pick me up, she sends good mail because it makes her feel so good. well duh! why didn't i think of that? i was totally inspired by this so i went to work making a bunch of spring cards and such and by the time i had to go pick up allie from school, i had a stack of good mail kristi-style in recycled food boxes, and my mood totally improved! i also lurked on bakerella's blog, who patsy has got me addicted to lately. i was inspired by her blog about the cupcake bites so i bought the ingredients and decided that it would make me so happy to create something yummy and out of the ordinary this weekend since there's not much on the calendar. just two examples of how blogging has totally improved my life. seriously, it really has.
** how has blogging improved your life?
did you know that the FDA now strongly recommends NOT giving cold medicine to children under five? ahhhh!**

We have all been suffering here too...first my 5 year old then my 12 month old and my two year old got it, now poor me. My husband is the last, but last night he told me he thinks he's coming down with something. Man, I'm grouchy when I'm sick and never get out of the house and can't take care of myself cause everyone else is sick too. *Sigh* Sorry.

I seriously feel that blogging has been a tremendous help for me, especially at times like this. I felt so alone, and now, I know there are other women out there who feel, think, and experience things too. I love hearing other people's ideas to improve or great crafting ideas, recipes, etc. Love it.

The biggest pick me up of my week was for sure getting one of these amazing spring packages!!!!
Woo HOOooo. It was such a thrill. I got it from the mail as I was driving Jack to late start at the H.S. I was holding it (but couldn't open it until I got home)& it sounded like a bunch of marbles were in there. I kept thinking Oh man, I hope that's chocolate.... thanks for not dissapointing! You totally made my day :)
I love the box it came in too! so cute-pj
