<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So just in case this is your first time here on my side of the internet (Welcome!) I am a stay at home first time mom and a full time student, but that's a different story for a different day. </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">RB and I are constantly looking for fun stuff to do with our big guy FAR who is about to be 2! My mother-in-law wanted to treat us to the Aquarium and I just knew Fletcher would LOVE it. In my head I pictured a sweet little boy who looked at the fish all day long and we had the most wonderful family day. </span></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Umm yeah. That DID NOT happen. He was impressed for the first oh let's say 5 minutes. and then he screamed. He cried. He pitched the biggest fit his two year old body could pitch. FAR wanted to RUN. and running in an crowded Aquarium full of schools on field trips and home school groups and whatever you could imagine just was not a possibility. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">True story. But what was I supposed to do with a screaming toddler after we were gifted with these awesome expensive tickets. I got looks, I got stares, and honestly, I didn't care. So what finally calmed him down? A 4D movie. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This topic has been on my heart for awhile now, and if nobody agrees with me and i'm just a crazy loser that's fine but <b>have you ever felt like you've had to purchase blog friends</b>? </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Yup I said it. Now do not get me wrong, There are some amazing bloggers out there that I feel I really have connected with and I do stalk their blogs <strike>hourly</strike> daily. But when I first got into the blogging game I tried to reach out to some well known bloggers who I had heard from asking them if they wanted to swap buttons. {keep in mind, this was before I knew what <b>paid sponsorships </b>were} and do you know how many people ignored me? More than answered I can tell you that. So once I started dipping into paid sponsorship and actually sold a few ads I went to purchase some on some of my favorite blogs. Here was my experience: </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 sponsorship was <b>wonderful</b>. This blogger and I still keep in contact via Twitter and e-mail even though my ad ran out. Love her and her blog. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 sponsorship was a great thing for my blog. The blogger did her "job" promoting mine and I was very pleased. We emailed and connected and then when my ad ran out.... *insert crickets here* Nothing. No return hey how are you emails like I had gotten before... <b>was I paying for her friendship also?</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 sponsorship I paid and the blogger and I emailed a few times and actually had a lot in common on a personal level. I paid for a premium spot on her blog and was supposed to be given an interview, social media shout-outs, and the entire 9 yards. <b>None of that ever happened. </b></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Believe me, I'm the first person to admit that life happens. I understand that. Life was one of the main reasons I stopped accepting paid sponsors on tales from a FAR. But really? An email would of been nice at least. But that's just my opinion... </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Am I the only one that feels this way? Please tell me i'm not... just so I can be sure, How much do you cost? ;) </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

All of the people I was preggo with when I had FAR are announcing all over Facebook and Twitter that "they are expecting" "baby #2 is on the way" so with that being said.... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm <b>not </b>pregnant. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But I want to be, so very badly. Is it fertility issues? Nope. (Praise Jesus)I'm pretty sure everything is working fine. and the funny thing is, when I think about raising a newborn and a toddler my whole body cringes. I tense up. I want to vomit thinking about all the lack of sleep, Trying to teach FAR to behave around the baby, <a href="http://www.talesfromfar.com/2012/04/algebra-makes-me-want-to-barf.html" target="_blank">getting big as a house again</a>, and just being overall miserable. </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgigWWuZ-Gt3AG6_5vuC9Jr-hZNct0m3Xe0sJO7x7l4BiE_RZYXu0sMTpy0VTEvbMrXvCf0JYUmcNkQ8lsGqI2jTGtU6o5mkk-eLN5GFPu9qLb9Dc-JfRxN1RBf4oPjqXyba8yuqxN9sGEA/s400/006.JPG" width="300" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But when I think about baby snuggles, nursing, cute baby <strike>girl </strike>stuff I get all warm and fuzzy inside. I want another baby. My arms ache when I think about holding another sweet gift of God in my arms. If you would of asked me a year ago if FAR would ever be a big brother you would of gotten a really fast "NO!" but now... I don't know if it's because i'm getting older, or what but I have extreme baby fever. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Two main things have to change before we can even dream about having another baby. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I have to finish school & We have to have a house of our own. We cannot raise another baby where we live, it is just not feasible</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> for many reasons, the main one being space. So until these two things come I will continue poppin my pill, and prayin for God's will :) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Speaking of babies... How's FAR you ask? </span><br />

But when my beautiful friend <a href="http://www.talesofbeautyforashes.com/" target="_blank">Becky</a> contacted me to be apart of this special linkup I couldn't refuse. So everybody grab a button, link up, and enter the giveaway at the bottom. And I will be back soon to give you full updates on sweet FAR :) </span></center>

I have been completely <b>bombarded. swamped. crazed. </b>with life lately. <b> </b>In order to survive i've needed to make a few changes in my life recently. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQMNnrOLqF27NHB5V6G9w0uKgDu4YI7gSrMS_I5pyZmFcz1r5fl38mIeFJvo2pcc_6lwJRz_CzijfW9lejYw5W-z8fu4cgnTd-d3oFPDqWJvgzjthOxPfADPb2BW8xTrtAENflKxFgGgGH/s1600/slssignature.png" target="_blank"></a></span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">No more paid sponsors. Paid sponsors= pressure. Pressure to make sure blog posts are written, giveaways are maintained, and sponsor stuff is written. Right now I cannot handle it. Maybe after the first of the year, but we'll see. But I am always open to swapping ;)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The other day I came to a realization that I was trying to get everything done on a schedule. Make sure FAR is taken care of. Make sure school work is done. Make sure the kitchen is spotless before bed. I was forgetting the biggest part of my agenda. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Playtime</b>. I've been trying to make sure everything gets done, but I've forgotten to sit down and play with my little guy. So last night I went to bed with dishes in the sink, school work that didn't get done, and a full heart from playing and snuggling with the cutest 17 month old in the world. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Will you hear from me tomorrow? Probably not. But I won't abandon my wonderful blog. It's my outlet. I love the fact I have "met" each and every one of you. I have made friendships that are irreplaceable. But for now,<b> i'm right where I need to be</b>. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Friday night we went to the grocery store and got the stuff we needed to have some people over Saturday and the stuff i'm making for thanksgiving. We also picked up a family favorite for dinner: Kroger brand 6 cheese spaghetti sauce on top of Angel hair pasta. I <b>craved</b> this when I was preggo and I was wanting some (my MIL and GIL have to have meat in their spaghetti so I can't make it when they are here) and Fletcher <b>tore it up</b>. I wonder if he remembered it coming through his umbilical cord? ;) </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Sunday I went to church and heard the most wonderful message on healing, (Want some healing?<a href="http://www.eastridgefamily.org/" target="_blank"> </a>PLEASE click<a href="http://vimeo.com/53785833" target="_blank"> here </a>and watch this. Trust me on this & Thank me later) and then made the drive to Loganville to babysit KP so Michelle and D could go to a funeral. I love getting our boys together to play. KP calls FAR "baby FAR" even though FAR is almost as big as KP! (FAR is 17 months, KP is almost 4!)</span></div>

Go ahead and deny it if you want too but everybody loves something they don't have to pay for. So after talking to the amazing people at <a href="http://www.maybooks.com/" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">MayDesigns </a>They sent me one of their awesome <a href="http://www.maybooks.com/shop/books" target="_blank">Maybooks</a> to test out and I LOVE IT! </span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQMNnrOLqF27NHB5V6G9w0uKgDu4YI7gSrMS_I5pyZmFcz1r5fl38mIeFJvo2pcc_6lwJRz_CzijfW9lejYw5W-z8fu4cgnTd-d3oFPDqWJvgzjthOxPfADPb2BW8xTrtAENflKxFgGgGH/s1600/slssignature.png" target="_blank"></a><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">One of my favorite parts about Maybooks are that they are bound together using a sewing machine. How neat is that? Because it's threaded together with thread the pages don't rip out... not like regular planners on a binder or in a notebook. and<b> they are all handmade</b>. Is that quality or what?!! </span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And because MayDesigns loves us, they've given me a MayBook to give away!! </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Enter blow to win one of your own :) :) </span><br />

Have y'all heard about the #pinkproject?! Brittany who blogs at <a href="http://www.naturallyestes.com/" target="_blank">NaturallyEstes </a> has a heart of GOLD! I recently connected with her on Twitter when she asked for help for her #pinkproject and I did a little research then signed right up!! </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The #pinkproject Brittany's brilliant idea of raising money so that 4 women in Ethiopia can have a right to live. and if she meets her goal of $1600 Brittany is going to <b>die her hair pink</b>. Totally not kidding. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So what are we asking you to do today? I know you love waking up every morning and getting ready for work and getting in your car and going through the drive through to get that <strike>white and green </strike> red holiday cup. For today only, would you think about taking that $5 you would normally spend on a cup of Starbucks and donating it to the #pinkproject? If you donate, your name will be entered into a drawing for a Starbucks Giftcard giveaway! So you would still get your Starbucks, just have to wait a little bit longer :)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So lets all contribute to help these 4 women! Oh, and to the fabulous photos of <b>Brittany's Pink Hair</b>! :) </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Oh and while i've got you here, let me tell you a little bit about my friend Kelsey. Last week I gave away some ad space on Twitter because I was feeling generous (Speaking of Twitter - do you follow me? @amandarodewig ) and <a href="http://storiesofkel.blogspot.com/p/about-kel.html" target="_blank">Kelsey</a> who blogs at <a href="http://storiesofkel.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Stories of Kel</a> grabed one of them up. She and her husband are one of the cutest couples ever.

Just words. No cute photos, no guest posting, and no giveaways. Lately i've been struggling. I'm exhausted every night when my head hits the pillow and I fall asleep before RB and I can have our nightly chat and giggle fest. Well I giggle... he mainly giggles. Is there even such a thing!?! Going to school full time, being a mommy, a wife, a best friend, a servant to God's kingdom, a sister, a daughter, a blogger... all of it is <b>exhausting</b>. But it's a good kind of exhausting.. you know what i mean? To lay my head down at the end of the day and think about everything ive accomplished... it's a good feeling :) I guess what i'm trying to say is that i'm <b>thankful </b>that I can be exausted. Thankful I have the opportunity to go back to school, extremly thankful for my 2 guys, I guess i'm just being nostalgic Thanks for listening :)</span><br />
