Just Like That, I am Back

 If I said I was back, would you believe me? Blogging is complicated, and there are so many "get rich quick" blogging schemes that make it look like you are a lost cause if you are not currently earning money blogging. And why are you even blogging if you don't have multiple streams of income and entertainment. If you don't have a brand? I do have this website, but I do not have Instagram, Twitter, TikTok (you don't want to see me dance), or whatever is next.  Heck, I haven't even updated this since before the pandemic. So why am I here, writing about being back and then, probably ghosting for another two years? Life has been rough. It's been painful and overwhelming. I am so thankful for you my readers, or what is left of you. I am so thankful you are reading this post. I am so thankful that you are still committed to making the world a more exciting and more sustainable place.  Keep up-cycling my friends, and you never know, I might be back again with an...

Cleveland Does Rock, and Yes I Said Cleveland

-
I would like to take a moment from my regularly scheduled Spring Sashbusting post to talk about something near and dear to my heart.

We get a bad wrap. A very bad wrap, I mean LeBron doesn't even like us.

So since I truly do believe Cleveland is great I wanted to focus on some fabulous Cleveland Bloggers.  Oh yeah we rule the Blogging world one fantastic Mommy Blog at a time.

My first shout out to Cleveland Blogging Love is MyGotFam.com






So I like to think that I am funny, but really the only other people who agree with me are my kids, and on occasion my husband.  Chrissy is a sharp blogger with a passion for her family and an amazing series that will make you die laughing called the Sunday Skit. Seriously check this one out where the part of Chrissy is played by Glee's Chris Colfer: http://www.mygotfam.com/?p=904Sunday Skit: How Mommy Turns Into A Lunatic.


Next is Green Dog Wine. She lost fifty pounds, got healthy, and has a ton of beautiful pictures of food on her blog. I love the fact that she has fabulous recipes on her blog including this one I am making tonight for Vegan Pad Thai: http://greendogwine.com/2010/06/vegan-pad-thai/





Then we have my blogging friend who I just happened to have gone to grade school with, Mary over at iNeed a Paydate. You know every momma needs a playdate, right.



What I love about her blog is her hardcore honesty. I am honest, but come on bloggy readers how much do you really know about me? Mary, well she lets it all hang out, in a good way of course. I LOVE this post she did: Self-Esteem Issues? Who Me? Read it and let me know what you think.

So in the end I am proud to be a Cleveland Mommy Blogger, if that is what you want to call me. I am proud to be from Cleveland and share the internet with these other fabulous women!

Cleveland Rocks! Michael Stanley did it way before Drew Carey. How's THAT for a local reference?

I grew up nearby and miss living on the lake during the summer. Not during winter = lake effect snow. Those three little words still make me cold just thinking about them.

Hello! I just found your blog today and had to post when I saw you're from Cleveland :) I grew up in Canton, my parents live in Cuyahoga Falls now, and my mom works in Cleveland! I live in Columbus now, and I sure miss seeing Dick Goddard on the news... No one can do weather like Dick Goddard :)

Hello lovely T-shirt Diary followers!  The Pink Bat Girl is here to rescue you from plain old scrap wood and boredom today with a fun Memorial Day upcycled project!  My block wood is courtesy of an old toddler bed that all of my kids used from Ikea.  The bed has been given away, however, we still had the old wood that went under the mattress.  I thought it would make some really great wood blocks! I took this old wood and my hubby's handy dandy saw and cut them into my desired lengths!.. I love power tools!  So if you would like to make some of these fun decorations here is what you need! Ingredients wood blocks scrapbook paper cut into small strips red, white and blue paint Mod Podge craft glue jewels Start by cutting your wood into blocks.  Paint the top block red, the second block white and the last block blue.

For more information on upcycling check out this post . Here are a few of my favorites from last week. If you are featured please do not forget to grab a button. I just discovered Freckled Laundry , and boy am I loving this website.

Not really. It's just been so darn long since I have actually blogged I figure a catchy title would grab your attention. Are big things in the works, maybe? I would love to get this blog up and running again. I want to be writing again, and I want to be crafting again. Will it happen? Stay tuned!
