From Our Blog to Yours by Mandy

Hey, Hey, Hey everyone!
*whew* TGIF right? I know I’m sayin’ that loud and clear! It’s been a busy busy week for me but the weekend is coming around and there are lots of things going on!

Tomorrow night we are going to a local dirt race track to watch fireworks and races, then Sunday is my youngest daughters 6th birthday. Gah, why do they grow up so fast!? I want them to stay little and tiny and sleepy and easy to make happy by simply feeding or changing them. LOL. My daughter is due to get a freaking lizard for her birthday from her uncle so that’s going to be interesting!

Well today is my day to bring you something fun from our blog and have you take that to yours and inspire you to blog a lil’. So, here’s what I would like to hear from all of you. Since the Independence Day holiday is this week, I want to hear about your plans. Tell us what you’re going to do to celebrate America’s Independence. Have you already been to an early celebration? Post some pics. I just love seeing fireworks photos!!

After you post your plans, I think it’s time to let loose a little on the blog. I have had a sort of busy/crummy week so I want you to entertain me. I want to see your funny or favorite YouTube videos. I just love YouTube and whenever I need a pick me up, I can always find something over there to make me laugh or make me go “HOLY COW THAT WAS AMAZING!” lol. Embed your favorite YouTube video in your blog post and then link your blog over here in the comments section. Remember, you get points toward the Sweet Reward Program just for participating!

Here’s a video that always gets me giggling: Genius Bird 

Have a great weekend and can’t wait to see your blog entries!!
