No I'm not speaking another language.

If you are a blogger then most likely you are familiar with this term. It's a monthly blog feature run by BlogHer that gives bloggers the chance to expand their readership and build their blogs by posting about a singular topic everyday in a particular month.

I decided to participate and the theme for August is HOT. So for a while at least, my posts will be related to heat in some way. I'm excited to see how I can creatively do this everyday. Prompts were provided but we were given freedom to chose our own. The only "rule" is that you post everyday. This is going to be a challenge but I welcome it and I'm excited to participate.

Come back tomorrow for my first post :)

HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY TO OUR GREEDY LITTLE CHIPMUNK!!!!

I can't believe that he's already a year old. This year went by extremely fast. From infant to toddler.

Oh boy here we go....


This is a very busy week in our household. In addition to two birthdays, one party and a Chuck-e-Cheese youth group outing; my niece is coming for our annual girl's vacation. We are running on all cylinders and I be you can guess there is a pile of dishes in my sink. Not a huge pile maybe 5 items total. I know I need to go ahead and tackle them before it gets worse. But I always tend to feel like I can get to it later and do something I consider to be more important. And the next thing you know, it's a day later and the dishes are up to the rim.

 Today I shall not fall into that trap! Today I shall go ahead and wash those few dishes...

After I sing Happy Birthday to my little one. For the third time today.....

Procrastination..... It's an epidemic. No judging lol

Today is the day the love of my life was born. He's the greatest guy in the world and I couldn't be happier in my life with him!

So in a proclamation for all the world to see.......


HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR. MESSY!!!!!!

Bday 2009

I love you to the moon and back...

Happy Monday!

I hope your weekend was as good as mine. We spent a lot of time together as a family  this weekend. The highlight was Saturday's Family Movie Night. We watched 5 different movies starting with 3 for kids and then after we sent the little ones to bed we watched two "grown up" movies.

I'm excited to share with you that in an effort to expand my readership and development; I am in the process of making some pretty fun and drastic changes to my site. With the first thing being a name change. As I'm sure you noticed by now, I have changed the name from The Queen....Outnumbered to Our Life. Our Mess. I feel this name more adequately portrays what this blog is about.

I'm working with a designer to come up with a new design and I'm also reworking my brand identity.

I hope that it is liked and will help my "beautiful baby blog" grow.


Can't wait to share it with you!


Stay Tuned......

Hello all!

I'm finally sharing the freebie I promised a few days ago. It took me a minute because I had to research and choose the best option for sharing my documents with you all. It was a chore. What with my 5 yr old and 11 soon to be 12 month old and all of our daily activities.

Nonetheless here it is....
