The Ants Go Marching

My current Avon campaign is due in tomorrow. I haven't been promoting, so sales haven't been too good. I need to find the time to sit down and rework my business plan. Being home on maternity leave, my time is unpredictable. I never know when I will get 10 minutes let alone an hour or two to work on my business.

The time goes by so fast, I am just enjoying being home with my kids right now. They make me laugh. They are my world. I will be back to work before I know it and I don't want to miss a second with them. Right now I have somehow miraculously gotten both kids down for a nap. This gave me some free time to get the dishes into the dish washer, cut up a melon, and sit down for just a minute. I'm waiting for one or the other to cry any second now to let me know my quiet time is over.

Since all I can think about right now is my little ones, I guess I'll type about them too. J is two and a half years old (I can't believe she is already that old, but I guess that is a lament for another blog). She LOVES bugs. She has since the day she was born and the toys I got to hang on her infant carrier were three little stuffed bugs. She would just stare at them and laugh. Well over the last few days we have had a handful of ants wander into our family room. She keeps picking them up to show me. Of course she doesn't know how to pick them up without squishing them, so they don't make it long enough to see the look of joy in her face when she catches one. I try to tell her don't pick them up, you might hurt them. Her answer to me was, "But I love them Mommy, they're OUR ants!." Guess I can't argue with that logic.

Blogtipping

I just found out about blogtipping. Apparently it has been going on for at least a year, unbeknownst to me. It seems like a fun little thing to do. It kind of reminds me of "paying it forward." From what I gather it is where you publish a blog post about other people's blogs with praise, tips and encouragement for them in that post. This is something that is done on the first of the month. It sounds like a neat thing to do, so I think I'm going to try it.

Here are today's tippees:

1. Whirling Betty - I just came across this blog and I love it. I like how this single mom mixes pictures with words. I love the flow of her writing, it just seems to draw you in and keep you there. I couldn't stop reading once I stumbled across it. I love how open and honest she is!
2. BikerMomma's Blog - I like the layout of this blog, its clean and has nice lines. I also like her writing style. It's crisp and easy to read. Glad to see she is back after a short hiatus!
3. Living the Mom Life - I like the content and flow of this blog. I like that she was posting fairly regularly. I hope that she is enjoying a new baby and will be back soon with new posts!

It was definitely fun looking a new blogs and sharing them with you. I hope you check them out and add them to your reading lists as well! Happy blogging!
