New Sidebar Blogs

This morning I'd like to take a moment to draw your attention to some blogs that I've recently added to my sidebar.  And yes, you're welcome, because you are indeed now 15 minutes closer to the end of your workday.

La Porte Rouge
I know this sounds like a pretentious blog name, but I stumbled upon this photographer, and I've decided she's sort of the organic rustic King Midas of Photography. Everything that she touches turns to awesome. Also, she has this beautiful new black horse so thick in the chest you could take the worlds best nap by throwing your arms around his neck, locking your fingers, and falling asleep in his blackness.  Love.

Alissa My Sister
Although my sister has had a beautiful and regularly updated blog for years, I just got around to adding a sidebar, and thus haven't gotten to show it off for the attention that it deserves.  She is NOT, and I mean NOT your average mommy blogger, if the giant black widow spider on her background wasn't your first hint.  She does talk about her children, but usually with a focused, loving and hilarious or sweet edge, depending on how close Russell came to being expelled from Kindergarten that day.  As Alissa's business cards say "mother of Russell and Alice" is an absolutely exceptional job title, if ever I heard one.

 Beyond that, she also happens to have a great horror movie advice list up right now.  Read it, I promise you will love it and never want to read my crap again.

Mr. and Mrs. Globetrot
I just barely discovered this blog via the featured post about their wedding.  They had a beautiful travel-themed wedding, oh, and for the honeymoon?  Just an 18 month trip around the world. YAH.  And they ain't staying at Hostels, neither.  Don't ask me how or why anyone has this kind of time or money, don't make me think about the painful logistics, just utterly enjoy her shots of Paris Streetfashion, and his background on the town of Split, Croatia (a place I've been dying to go since 2008...someday.) 

I would conclude by featuring my beautiful and clever sister-in-law Lacey's new blog, but I know that she would kill me. oops, was that a hotlink? HOW DID THAT HAPPEN???

Nice! Thanks for the glowing review! You always have sent me to the best blogs so being here is quite the compliment, even if, as my little sister, you are sort of obligated to think I'm cooler than snow.

And I continue to be jealous of your creepy music.

Tidings of Comfort, Victory, and GIVEAWAYS!!!!!

1.  My Cranberry pie finally won!  After a tragic finish at an ugly sweater party, and being overshadowed by the chocolate pecan pie at Thanksgiving, my Nantucket Cranberry Pie (which I took to the next level with a chocolate cream cheese icing)  got first place at the office holiday party Top Chef competition. I am happy. 2.  I also coincidentally won a caption contest on my favorite horse blog, and for my witty mockery was awarded a gift certificate for horse tack!  As I currently don't have a horse of my own, I'm giving it to Camp K.  I hope my mother and her 3 horses, 2 mules and 2 donkeys forgive me.  But I'm still claiming victory on that one, and relishing in being mentioned on my favorite blog in the same post as my international heroes. 3. GIVEAWAY!!!!  I was inspired by a number of blogs giving away x-boxes, TVs, designer handbags, and gift cards to the moon, but I decided that you don't actually need to be rich to share the lo...

A Balanced Life

Picking up the Copperpot on paint day at school (note the purple hair!) After coming back to work part time a month after I had the Copperpot, I was exhausted, shell shocked, and hyper aware of how tiny my baby still was. I couldn't fathom leaving her in anyone's arms but her grandmothers, and I was extremely lucky that those women took on that task so willingly in those early months to allow me to go back to work and try and figure things out.  When the maternity leave ran out and my baby was still tiny, despite the huge decision ahead of me, it wasn't even a decision. I couldn't send my newborn to a giant daycare. Or a babysitter. That's not to say that I think women who do are less good mothers - in fact, I think they're 100 times stronger and braver than I will ever be.  So I decided to quit my office job and pursue my side project of freelance writing as full time as time would allow while still being home with the critter. In just a few mont...
