Blog Every Single Day?!!

Jenni at Story of My Life (in my blogroll on the left) has issued a challenge to blog every day in May...seems a little daunting but I want to try it anyway.  She has made it a super easy challenge, though...we are allowed to make up a post if we miss a day.  I'll try not to but I probably will...

Here are the posts for each of the 31 (YIKES!) days...

Day 1, Wednesday: The story of your life in 250 words or less (or one paragraph... no one will be counting your words... probably)
Day 2, Thursday: Educate us on something you know alot about or are good at. Take any approach you'd like (serious and educational or funny and sarcastic)
Day 3, Friday: Things that make you uncomfortable
Day 4, Saturday: Favorite quote (from a person, from a book, etc) and why you love it
Day 5, Sunday: Publicly profess your love and devotion for one of your blogger friends. What makes them great? Why do you love them? If you don't have blogger friends, talk about a real-life friend or even a family member
Day 6, Monday: If you couldn't answer with your job, how would you answer the question, 'what do you do'?
Day 7, Tuesday: The thing(s) you're most afraid of
Day 8, Wednesday: A piece of advice you have for others. Anything at all.
Day 9, Thursday: A moment in your day (this can be just a photo or both a photo and words)
Day 10, Friday: Most embarrassing moment (s). Spill. 
Day 11, Saturday: Sell yourself in 10 words or less
Day 12, Sunday: What do you miss? (a person, a thing, a place, a time of your life...)
Day 13, Monday: Issue a public apology. This can be as funny or as serious or as creative as you want it to be.
Day 14, Tuesday: Ten things that make you really happy
Day 15, Wednesday: A Day in the life (include photos from throughout your typical day - this could be "a photo an hour" if you'd like)
Day 16, Thursday: Something difficult about your "lot in life" and how you're working to overcome it
Day 17, Friday: A favorite photo of yourself and why
Day 18, Saturday: Tell a story from your childhood. Dig deep and try to be descriptive about what you remember and how you felt.
Day 19, Sunday: Five of your favorite blogs and what you love about them
Day 20, Monday: Get real. Share something you're struggling with right now.
Day 21, Tuesday: A list of links to your favorite posts in your archives
Day 22, Wednesday: Rant about something. Get up on your soapbox and tell us how you really feel. (a pet peeve, a current event, a controversial topic, something your husband or roommate or neighbor or boss does that really ticks you off)
Day 23, Thursday: Things you've learned that school won't teach you
Day 24, Friday: Your top 3 worst traits
Day 25, Saturday: Something someone told you about yourself that you'll never forget (good or bad)
Day 26, Sunday: Something you read online. Leave a link and discuss, if you'd like.
Day 27, Monday: A letter to your readers
Day 28, Tuesday: Only pictures
Day 29, Wednesday: Five songs or pieces of music that speak to you or bring back memories. Use Grooveshark or YouTube to include them in the post
Day 30, Thursday: React to this term: Letting Go
Day 31, Friday: A vivid memory

Changes...

Just to address anyone who may have noticed a change in the blogs I am following...I have elected to stop following one blog in particular because they felt the need to make semi-political and misinformed comments that were presented as factual and without debate.  I follow blogs for fun and inspiration, not to be preached at and certainly not to have ill-informed points of view cluttering my feed.

Political/news based debates have their place and I follow news sites and blogs from a variety of sources...that is not the purpose of this blog.

Hope you understand...if not, thanks for visiting and I hope you find another blog more to your liking. :-)

Fun Giveaway...

Linda from Rose ala Mode & Jill from Good Life for Less have teamed up for the Luxe Lotto... September's is a fabulous purse and necklace...Go check it out right now!  They are also giving you so many opportunities to enter to win!  Fingers crossed! :-)

Another giveaway... :-)

Ashley at Little Miss Momma is giving away the cutest ring... I really, really would love to win it, but I would feel awful if I didn't share the opportunity with all of you as well.


Check out the giveaway (Good Luck!) and add LMM to your blogroll.  It's one of my favorite reads! :-)

And now, it's the end of July...

This is getting a little ridiculous...I visit my blog everyday and am constantly checking my blogroll just waiting for one of the blogs I follow to update, yet I seldom update my own blog...does that make me a hypocrite? ;-)

I am so ready for fall to get here!  Can't wait for all the cute fall fashions and to wear my super cute coats and boots!  Speaking of boots, I am slightly obsessing over Hunter boots lately... Sydney at The Daybook got a green pair and now Linda at Rose a la Mode is giving them away!  There is not a drop of rain in the sky and the temp is supposed to reach 100 degrees and all I can think about is rain boots!  I hope I win!

Post more later (I promise!)

Fashion, anyone?

Lately, I have been reading a lot of fashion blogs.  While I am not sure that I would ever be so brave as to post my outfits on the web for all to see, I so admire the courage of those who do.  By sharing what they choose to wear, they have inspired me to branch out a bit from my "safety net" of a wardrobe.  I find myself reaching for a bright color or grabbing a fun pair of shoes to finish off an outfit frequently because of something I have seen on one of these blogs. :-)  I am also discovering "new" things in my closet that I completely forgot I had!

Anyway, to those bloggers, thanks for sharing! :-)

P.S. you can find some of my favorite fashion blogs in the column to the left...Enjoy! :-)
