Sunday Stills

Presenting this week’s Sunday Stills. A little bit of this past week captured…

The little love and her loves… :)
Yep…..got this one on Monday (this came after finding out that I need a new hard drive and mouse not to mention the cooling pad….)

Friday brought us Evan deciding to cut his hair…..

And this was earlier today. :) It’s not a ton, but I’m happy with it nonetheless. (It’s just a couple dollars above my weekly average)

This was us this week….How about you?

I’ve gone into recipe remission….

For now…. :)

I just wanted to let you all know that I haven’t permanently abandoned my recipe quest. With everything going on lately with my ‘health’, I just haven’t felt up to standing in the kitchen and cooking much of anything. As a matter of fact, both this week and last have been full of boxed mircrowave dinners. These last 2 shopping trips (we go on Sunday afternoons) have left me feeling like an absolutely horrible wife/mother. The shopping cart has been filled with nothing but premade stuff. My shopping cart NEVER looks like that. From boxed dino shaped chicken nuggets (I make easy and tasty chicken nuggets from scratch see here) to plain ol’ microwave t.v. dinners and frozen taquitos. I have felt supremely awful about the lack of home cooked meals in this house but since I’ve had pain when I’m standing and/or nausea for the last 6 weeks, cooking just hasn’t ‘been on the menu’.

So, my apologies for my lack of variety and new finds lately. I’m hoping to be able to get back into the groove (insert Madonna’s voice there) very soon! Goodness knows, I can’t take much more of these guilt-ridden shopping trips!

Happy cooking (in honor of my deprived family… LOL)

Monetization; Learning the ways and making it work

Happy Monday to you!! My computer is back in the swing of things, at least for the moment, so I’m taking advantage and overheating the heck out of it! ;)

Todays post is about my foray into researching and implementing the various ways to monetize this blog of mine. I have discovered that I absolutely LOVE blogging and I want to make something that I love pay off. Literally. I’d love to turn this fun thing I’ve found into something that can truly help our family grow. So, I’ve been clicking away on every tweet, blog post, and passing comment I see about blogging, monetizing, making money from home, etc. I have to say, I’ve found some really great info too!! Thanks to three of my fave resources on the subject, Blogelina, TheWorkAtHomeWoman and 7onaShoestring. I must admit, I’m a little lost at what to do with it all though. I posted the other day about the awesome opportunity I happened upon for a web course on profitable blogging (see post here) that I’m super excited about. I can’t wait to learn more and, hopefully, better learn how to put all this new info into play.
I also just signed up with Broadcast Bloggers to get things rolling as well. So far I’m pretty excited about the possibilities. I’m all about earning money as well as “Bling!” just for doing something I like doing anyway. Yeah buddy! I have to say though, I’m not sure about this “Rebroadcasting” thing. It’s not that I’m against it, per se, I’m just not sure how it will mesh with my content…
