Finally did it...

Last night on my ride home from work my mind started drifting to a change I would like to make to my brand new blog. I know seriously what is wrong with me, it's brand new why do I need to change it. I just wanted to add a little more. More being a picture of me and the hubs, maybe a little description of each of the family members...

So when I got home I asked Jon to take a picture of me. Wouldn't you know the results suck are less than desirable?

**The photos I am showing are not all of them. Believe when I tell you our photo shoot was a disater that included my husband at one point accidentally setting the timer delay on the camera and lots of laughter.

Take 51

Jon, "Ummm, no you look stoned."

Me, "Fantastic"

Take 56

Jon (laughing), "WHY did you close your eyes?"

Me, "FOR REAL, HOW hard can it be to take a picture?"

Take ??? (Who knows)

Can't----stop--laughing.... LOVELY!!!

A self potrait in the bathroom...

What awful lighting.. Photo Shoot fail...So much for my hair brain idea to post a picture of myself.

I took some pictures of the girls to update their profiles and when I uploaded them I lost the photo border. So that is my project for tonight. I e-mailed Jenna at Bloggy Blog but feel like a heel since I've had my new design for 1 WHOLE DAY...

Something to See..

Hello peeps..

Did you notice a change round these parts?

If you usually read my posts in the secret confines of google reader, don't worry I do that sometimes too, you really really, REALLY need to come out and come see the newness that is From 3 to 5.

Remember that little contest that Arizona Mamma hosted; please tell me you remember I mentioned it a few hundred times.

I won!! LOOK!!! at what I got. I cast the vision, rather lamely I might add, and Jenna & Whitney over at Bloggy Blog Designz created this…

I am in love, it's exactly what I wanted AH-MAZ-ING…

OH! OH! and now I have Button…. YIPPPEEEE!!!!! Please take it and tell all your friends.

I love it, did I mention that already?

That's a lot of love.








If Arizona Mamma didn't live so far away, I'd give her a kiss for having the contest. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!

Come out, come out wherever you are....

Did you know there was such a thing as National De-Lurking week? Who would determine such a holiday? I bet it was Al Gore, you know he created the internet. So, I didn't know de-lurking existed either, but how much fun is this going to be. I know you're out there, I know your reading. So today I cry, "Olly Olly Oxen Free."

Tell me who you are-
Where are you from?
How did you find my blog?
Do you have kids?
Do you have a blog? I would surely love to read it.

Finally, ask me a question..

Oh and just because you are a follower doesn't mean I know who you are, so this applies to you too, unless of course I follow you.

Ohhhh this is going to be soo much fun!!!

Down the stretch they come....

Did you think by the post of this title I was referring to the close of the year? Well kinda..
As I'm sure you are probably all tired of hearing about it from me but there is this little contest I'm trying to win. I mentioned it here, here, here, here and here. Well, we might call that tenacious obsessive behavior, huh?

Anywho...

I wanted to say THANKS to those that left me a referral Brianne, my Mama, my Hubs, Lindsay, CJ, Georgie, and Mrs. 4444.

If you love me (yes, I realize this is a completely manipulative statement) and still want to leave me a referral you only have through tomorrow. So click here and let Arizona Momma know...

A Post of Self-Promotion, the UN-shameless kind...

So if you have been following peeping at my blog for any amount of time you know the design/layout has changed many times. Like as frequently as some people change their underwear, ok maybe a little less frequently than that, but you get my drift right? Well, all of my designs are borrowed from the free layout web-sites that any 'ole random person could grab. I love to visit other blogs to see the cute layouts and buttons. I long for my very own customized bit of cuteness but those cost money or you have to understand a little bit of HTML. Unfortunately a blog makeover isn't in the budget right now and I'm quite sure if I suggested it to the hubs he would give me the hairy eyeball, since you know blogging is free. And understanding HTML is like asking if a speak Mandarin (p-Shaaa, No)
So you can imagine how delighted I was when I read this post by the Arizona Momma. She is having a CONTEST not a giveaway that I could win with your help. You, yes you, could help fulfill my bliggity blog dreams...ok no pressure it's really not that hard to help me. You see Arizona Momma just went through a blog makeover thanks to Jenna at Bloggy Blog Designs. She got a cute header, a button, custom colors all tailored to her liking and she LOVES it, I mean how could you not, so much she wanted to share with her followers. I've been following her for a while since she left a sweet comment on my blog. See that IS a super cute button.




So, you want to know how to help me, click here to add a referral (comment) on her contest blog post. Please be sure to mention me Heidi @ From3to5. You do not have to have a blog or a google account to give me a referral, but if you do and choose to follow Arizona Momma I get another referral. The person with the most referrals on the 1st of January wins the contest.

So, you could click the link and type something like this-

Arizona Momma, I think Heidi @ From3to5 deserves this makeover. She writes the absolutely wittiest and funny posts, she is a true genius in the blogging field if only she could have a custom design.

Or you could write something a little more truthful.

Thank you so much in advance to my faithful followers and stalkers for helping a girl realize her dream.
