OK, so it's actually Saturday night...but it's almost midnight here!
I ran across two very excellent blog posts this week and they were just too great not to share.
The Gift- Smockity Frocks
Of Pearls and Swine- Don Mills Diva
You're welcome! Enjoy your Sunday reading!
I've noticed that a number of the authors of some of the great blogs that I read have posted their New Year's resolutions and big plans for revamping their blogs and blog designs. I'll be the first to admit I don't have a problem at all with blog design changes. If you read here often enough, you've probably lost count of how many times I did that myself this past year. Ahem.
While I certainly think having goals for your blog is definitely ok AND improving upon your blog is definitely super, I just hope that you won't change your writing style. I so often see bloggers aiming to write like several well-known bloggers and I think it's a shame that they don't realize that emulating others is a sure-fire way to kill your readers' interest in your blog. If we all wrote the same, what fun would that be? What would be the point of even bothering to blog?
Each and every blog in my feed reader is there for a reason and the reason is that I am genuinely interested in what those bloggers have to say. I've come to know so many of them through their stories...what interests them, their families, their triumphs and struggles. Their words have made me laugh until my sides hurt and cry because of their touching nature. I've been entertained and informed. No two stories are the same and that's exactly what I love. It's not their blog rank, blog design, or "who they know". It's their voice...their words.
The blogosphere is a big, big place and I know for sure that there is room for everyone. Nobody can tell your story better than yourself.
*This has been a Mommy Cracked Blogger PSA. You may now resume your regularly scheduled blogging.
Despite the fact that on Christmas Eve I was still running around like a crazy woman while finishing up the last minute details, we had an amazing Christmas. Just seeing E.B. get so excited over everything about Christmas just absolutely made it such a special experience this year.
The very best ornaments on the tree were made by E.B. He proudly brought these home from school last Friday. I proudly hung them right up!
He went super nuts over the Thomas train set his great-grandmother gave him on Christmas Eve. We also had to stay up until 1:00 AM on Christmas Eve because the child just would. not. give. it. up until this set was put together and he had a chance to play with it. Poor Cracked Daddy.
Suprisingly, the play kitchen Santa brought has been a huge hit. It was the first thing out of all of the toys under the tree he noticed and ran to! I've been treated to some of the most delicious plastic food cuisine ever in the past few days.
And now it's all over, except for taking down the decorations and finding a place for all the new toys. If I had to sum it up in one word I would say we are blessed, indeed. I wish everyday could be like Christmas.
We've been curled up watching movies for the past few nights and one we are enjoying is Beethoven's Big Break, the latest in the Beethoven series. Beethoven's Big Break was just released yesterday, December 26.
Although animal handler Eddie (Silverman) works with lots of creatures, he has a strict NO PETS ALLOWED policy and won’t let his son Billy keep adorable stray dog Beethoven and his family of puppies. But when dog-nappers steal the canine star of the movie Eddie’s working on, the studio big shots must quickly find a replacement and unexpectedly cast the lumbering canine as their next big star. Through his rambunctious antics and larger-than-life personality, Beethoven not only crashes into Hollywood but into Eddie’s heart as well.
Now, doesn't that just melt your heart already?
This full-length comedy stars Moises Arias (Rico on “Hannah Montana”), Jonathan Silverman (“The Single Guy”), Daytime Emmy ® winner Jennifer Finnigan (“The Bold and the Beautiful”), Rhea Perlman (“Cheers”), Joey Fatone (“Dancing with the Stars,” ‘N Sync), Stephen Tobolowsky (“Heroes”), Oscar Nunez (“The Office”), Eddie Griffin (Undercover Brother) and Cesar Millan (“The Dog Whisperer”) in his feature film debut—and introduces Pete The Lizard!
Beethoven's Big Break is rated PG and retails for $29.98.
