  6. The photo of your two year old made my day. I remember those moments :D One day my twins decided to clear two shelves of their closet and make mini bunk beds. Kids...they're priceless!

    Those links made such great points. Thanks!

  13. That picture kills me!

    I love that post by Anne R. Allen. It's pretty much the Ten Commandments of what not to do as a blogger, because she's so right on every count.

    Your 2yo is so cute! No wonder you were able to make that amazing climb for the agent call...he must take after you:)

  15. OMG I have a 2-yr old also and I'm constantly pulling her off things too! Thanks for the links and if you want a little blogger-bling, I left you an award on my site: http://www.cambriadillon.com/2011/03/im_stylish_dude/#comments.
    Don't feel like you have to do anything with it, but just wanted to share the love because I think you're blog is awesome!

  16. Jenny! Oh don't die--lol, I mean after looking at that picture. And yes! I think Anne's post was awesome, too.

    Carrie! LMAO--now I'd feel guilty to tell my 2yo not to climb things. I mean, the example I gave him as I took the climb for the agent call? I really hadn't seen it that way! HAH!

    Cambria! Thanks SO much! you're really so sweet. I just stopped by your blog and commented :D I think your blog is awesome too!
