  1. Wow – opinionated AND balanced? Perhaps you may be able to give me some advice on how to achieve that in my own life. 🙂 At least I can laugh about it now, right? It is so nice to meet you, even if I am running a little late on the blog hop.

  2. Just stopping by (little late) on the blog hop. My liitle man is 1.5 years. Imagining him driving is a bit scary, but he is a total big kid in a little kid body. Cheers!

  3. Hopping by…love your vlog! Have never tried that yet…will definitely be coming back for advice on the transition from boys to men…and Friday summer fun articles. It is great to meet you.

  5. Hi Karen nice to meet you. My son plays the clarinet. We are trying to get him to play the sax. Stopping by from the blog hop to say hello. Have a great weekend.

  6. Hopping in from the Blog Hop.. What fun!! I have been to some fun blogs so far.
    I love that your kids blogger names are “Dude” and “Jazz”…
    Missouri, I am far way.. well kind of.. I live in the Great Buckeye State. Ohio!
    Have fun at the HOp!

  7. Love the Nano wins!! I’ve done it and won 5 times now. I keep wondering if I can carve out time for Nano this November. My blog is taking up more and more time, but what is November without Nano? There’s a story that needs discovering!

    Glad I found you through the Blog Hop!

  10. Stopping by from the BH. I adore your blog header, and it looks like I have a new regular blog to read!

  11. HOWDY!!!!!

    (Hollering loud ’cause I’m in Texas and that’s pretty far from your neighborhood)

    Stopping by from the Blog Hop!!

    I totally understand what you mean about the “mommy blogger” moniker. I mean, YEAH, I’m a mommy and a blogger and a nurse and a wife and …

    Okay, so maybe we should create our own verbiage like, “mommywifenurseblogger” or “singlecareerchicbutknitteronthesideblogger” or…

    Silly, huh?

    I’m totally bookmarking you so I can check out all you do!!

  14. Wow! It sounds like you’re writing a lot:) I have two boys as well, but they’re 5 years old & almost 1 year!!! I’m sure you have lots of wisdom in raising them that I could use.
