blog stuff you definitely need to know

February 11, 2009

…a few things here, and luckily I love you enough to share it all with you. Now get out your pen and paper and take some notes.

First of all, let me talk about how I really really want to reply to your comments through my email….but so many of you aren’t getting them. Instead, no-reply@blogger.com is getting them, hence all this time you may have been feeling unloved. And I just can’t have that. I’m a lover. And when there happens to be some feeling unloved by moi, then I feel sad. And we definitely definitely can’t have that.

So, here’s what you need to know.

From Sits:

The first thing you need to do is open an email account just for your blog. It’s free to do through Yahoo, Gmail, or Hotmail. Easy Peasy. Why open an email account just for your blog? Well, it’s kind of nice to keep it separate from your personal email account. This is your blog and if people are reading it, you need to treat it a little like a business. It’s not a “have to”, it’s just a suggestion.

Now, go into your profile page and choose “edit your profile”. Check the box that says “show my email address”. Then, on that same page under Identity, type in your email where it says “Email address”. What happens is when you leave someone a comment and blogger puts your comment into THEIR email account, all they have to do is hit reply and they can send a response into YOUR email account. Sometimes it’s nice to reply to someone’s comment specifically instead of going to their blog and leaving them a random comment to a question they might have asked on your blog.

Okay got that? Now, I can actually reply to your comments that I’ve so come to depend on.

Next, you need to know that next week will be another giveaway AND I will guest blogging at Tiffany’s (from SITS) blog on Thursday. It just may be my best blog….EVER!!! Cause you know, only the best for Tiffany.

So, okay then, that about covers it for today.

Lesson over.

my blog roll, part one

February 10, 2009

I want to highlight some of the blogs that I read and let you know just why I love them. If you want my favorite fashion blogs, click here.

Laughing Through the Chaos: Sera is so sweet and incredibly funny. There’s nothing off limits with her. And it’s refreshing to read her stuff, because it just goes to show you’re never alone in anything! She’s also amazing at leaving comments, (hint hint), and she always makes me feel loved.

Made by Girl: Jennifer is an amazing artist and she has the cutest stuff on her blog and her etsy shop. That Love Print I showed on my ode to etsy is one of hers.

Oh My God, I’m a Mom: This mom cracks me up. I have a thing for honest moms who are able to share the trials of motherhood and somehow manage to make it funny. She absolutely does that. I love it. I have yet to read a post I didn’t like. Plus, I think we live in the same town, and that makes her even more awesome.

Sippy Cup Chardonnay: Ahhh, Rachel. My old neighbor and one of my favorite friends. It was because of her family blog that I even began blogging myself. Not only is she one of the sweetest people I know, but she’s also an incredible writer.

“Deal”icious Mom: I found this blog through Entrecard, and she’s my go to girl for all my deals and steals. I have been able to get a lot of awesome FREE magazine subscriptions, toothpastes, reusable bags….and so much more. This is one you totally need to follow.

LuLu & Moxley: I just happened upon this blog a couple of weeks ago, and I actually was laughing out loud while I was reading it. Although she’s a mother of twins, most of her blog is snarky talk about reality tv and celebrities. And we all know just how much I love both of those! In fact, I think she might just be my blogging soul mate.

Baby on Bored: An author and blogger, she is another mom who takes motherhood trauma and makes it funny. I love her bluntness and honesty. It’s refreshing. And of course, what awesome blog wouldn’t be complete if she didn’t also follow and provide opinions on pop culture? Oh yes, she covers it all.

Okay, so obviously my blog list is much longer, but this is just the start. Part Two coming soon!

Now go check out Jay @ Halftime Lessons. He’s doing some amazing stuff for cancer research. You have to be a part of it. Or at the very least encourage him in what he’s doing. And yes, he’s a favorite on my blog list too. He also thinks my videos are funny. But, since today’s not about me, I won’t go there right now.

things i love: sits

October 14, 2008

Remember when I felt all big headed for a day because SITS discovered my amazing talent and put me on their saucy blogs list for a week?

Not only do I love them for that, but it has also been so fun checking in on their site every day. I love finding new blogs to read, more motivation to write, and amazing ideas for the family and home.

I have definitely found a few favorites from their site…

Sippy Cup Chardonnay: My neighbor and one of my favorite writers!

Pennies in My Pocket: She will find you all the deals and save you money!

Chatting at the Sky: Funny and deep, a good mix of both.

I Don’t Think I’m a Grown Up Yet: Super sweet girl and a great writer.

Octamom: Inspiring, inspiring, inspiring.

i’m saucy, did you know? SITS did!

August 17, 2008

Can I just say, I love SITS?

After a sleepless night due to the kickboxer in my belly and the insomniac 3 year old that wakes at least as many times as his age throughout the night, I finally decided to pull out my laptop at 6am to do some research. My google search went something like this, “how not to freak out on your child who is waking up 3 plus times a night.”

Anyway, before such research began, I stopped by SITS to see what what up with the girls today, and which hot blog was being featured. To my sleepy surprise, I saw to the left under Saucy Blogs a link to MOI!!!! This alone was reward enough for the pain I’ve endured over the last 10 hours.

I used to think only a morning diet coke could solve my problems, but SITS has come to the rescue!

I’m saucy! Who knew? (well, I did, of course.)
