Trying to Become a Blogging Millionaire

Haha! Not really, but I did start a blog site about different craft projects, cooking experiments, home improvements, etc. So far I've done two blogs and have had 20 hits without even promoting it in any way, so I think that's actually not to bad. I'm no Martha Stewart but my hope is that people will appreciate a blog about crafting, cooking, and home decor that encourages them to experiment, have fun, be creative, and not worry about being perfect, but instead to concentrate on creating something that they really love and enjoy because it has meaning to them. Anyway, I thought that y'all might be interested to check it out and see what I've been up too. I have at least two more posts lined out in my mind. I have no marketing sense or perception about presentation online so if y'all have feedback about that, I'd really appreciate it. Here's the link to the blog: http://geekyhomeschoolenglishnerd.blogspot.com/.

P.S. I'm starting an Etsy shop too. Check it out. http://www.etsy.com/shop/SpringPeaches?ref=si_shop

I figured I might as well try to make a little money off doing some things I enjoy. May come to nothing but that is okay. You've got to try before you really know if you'll fail.  Plus, I figure with 7 students between two classes this semester with the strong possibility of one class being cancelled, I may have some time on my hands.

I'm no blogging expert, but I have a couple of suggestions. You might put a subtitle on there that says what your blog is about (for instance,"simple crafts," or whatever you want). The other is lots of step-by-step pictures. Good luck! I have a few blogs. I don't do any of them for money though and they are not wildly popular so...take it as you want. :-)

Getaway to Ticks Bend....I Mean Beavers Bend State Park

 Back in April, we decided we needed to do a short family getaway after the semester was over. The last time we'd been on vacation just to vacation (not going to see family in CO) was when we went to San Antonio when Maddy was 3 months old. We found Beavers Bend State Park close to Broken Bow, OK and decided to go there. We booked a cabin in the state park and eagerly awaited the day we could take off for our getaway. We left on Sunday afternoon and stayed through Tuesday afternoon. It was short, but so fun and relaxing. We had no computer and no cell phones while we were up there. We just got to enjoy being around each other and the beautiful scenery.  We built a fire and roasted some marshmallows. Also popped some jiffy pop. Aaron had never done one of those before.  This is a 100 year old cabin they had at the visitor center. I like the mud chinking ( I think that's what it's called). A couple named Comma and Mabel lived in the cabin when the CCC was building the

Another Sonogram

We went to the high risk pregnancy doc today for another sonogram. This time he could see all four chambers of the heart, the pulmonary valve, etc. In his words it looked "dramatically better". He feels there is still some slight compression on the heart and that we need to continue watching it. As of now he cannot see anything that is causing it and the MRI did not see anything either. He also felt that the hands were okay. They are not clenched fists at least as he first thought, meaning that the fingers aren't overlapping each other. Her hands are still in fists and she won't open them but he said he has had other babies that have not opened their fist in the sonogram but the hands have been normal at birth, so we still have a lot of hope for those little hands. He was able to get a better look at the face today, no cleft palate, so that is a huge blessing. The feet are still concerning. They are definitely clubbed but she is also not moving them. She is moving her

One Year Ago Today

One year ago today we found out we were having a little girl. One year ago today, the OB called us into his office and told us that Maddy was not going to survive. One year ago today God heard the prayers of many friends and family and he started working a miracle. One year ago today I thought I would never see my precious little girl alive. One year ago today I was so shocked I didn't and couldn't feel anything but disbelief. One year ago today, God started planning that today a little girl named Madeline Mae Fletcher would be by my side as I write this, talking and playing with her stuffed cow that Aunt Tammy gave her. One year ago today God set out to prove that he is faithful and he hears his people's prayers and that he still does miracles. Today is bittersweet because one year ago today our dreams and plans we had for our new life with our baby girl were destroyed. But one year ago today God started making a new plan to give us a different dream and a different plan.
