Updated: My Favorite Sites!

Aug 14. 2011

I spent a good portion of this rainy, dreary day updating the three pages of links on this blog (accessible through the top menubar). The biggest change comes with Bee Friends, which has been updated with the personal blogs of the newer — and by that, I mean within the last year — Weddingbee bloggers. I have also added to Friends some of the most active commenters to this site. :-) Unsurprisingly, they keep pretty good blogs too. Because this post is about links — a picture of a cute Link! One of my worst habits regarding the web is that while I read hundreds and hundreds of blogs, I hardly ever comment. I guess I can blame this on the fact that most...

Third Trimester

Aug 11. 2011

I am 28 weeks pregnant with BebeDeux today, which means that I am officially in my third trimester. I wish I had a belly shot to share with you, but I still don't have a functioning laptop with which to transfer photos from my camera and my cell phone camera isn't working. So here's what I looked like last year when I was 28 weeks pregnant with Claire, since everyone's been telling me that my tummy growth and weight gain look relatively the same.  My mother theorized that I must be having such difficult pregnancies because the babies are "absorbing" all my health...

Aug 09. 2011

And I am not in any way writing this post as a way to scream, "Look how much money I'm making!" Rather, I decided to reveal my first month's advertising revenue (and by that, I mean the first month when the ads first appeared, not when I began accepting ads) solely based on the fact that there are so damn few bloggers who openly share their earnings. When I was first contemplating ads, the biggest questions I had were: "How much can I make?" "Which advertising method(s)?" And since I...
