Wonderful Website Wednesday ~ and action…

wednesday pic copy Have you ever heard or maybe uttered the phrase “you know where to find EVERYTHING”? This is a frequent buzz in my direction when my girlfriends or family get together. Although I know there are ALOT of sites out there I have not been gifted the pleasure to find ~ I do pride myself on knowing all the up and coming sites to send my friends to when they are in search of: a perfect gift, designer outfit {at a reduced price}, tutorial, lesson for the classroom or home, handmade custom decor, photography questions and Photoshop action sets {hint, hint ;)}. Just to name a few. There are {sooo} many wonderful sites frequenting my Google toolbar my husband bought me an iPad {just so I could keep up with them~LOL!}
I came to a really AWESOME realization the other day ~ almost all of the sites my computer is told to bring up each day are created and ran by WOMEN!!! There is a whole world of mama’s who blog, sale, create, manage, inspire and/or teach. Many of them do not one, but all of these things!
This is where the idea for Wonderful Website Wednesday first entered. Maybe if I can highlight the awesome women out there that do things I only dream about, then maybe I might have a tiny hand in their success! ~~Every Wednesday~~ {ok, so it might just happen when I find one I just HAVE to brag about} I will post an award to a site that I feel gives me everything that I expect from a site {ease of use, tutorials, freebies, great links, etc}. Feel free to leave a comment telling me about the site featured or if you have a site that you would love to see win an award!

~Without further ado ~ Here is the first award EVER~

And the award goes to {insert drum roll here}…

In NO particular order…

Last time I sat at the computer {to blog} Mr. P was only starting to sit up on his own and Nato was thinking about nothing more than who he was going to play with on the playground the next day. Now as I type Nate is chasing P round the living room and we are starring Kindergarten in the face.

I love how my blog is much like a comic book ~ I can skip over the crazy times and only highlight the important information in each frame. This was my inspiration for the new blog layout! So often our lives run on without us and all we can do is blink…{thankfully} the blog is always there to pick-up where we left off, slow life down and take in all “the good stuff” for us to reminisce over! I want to be able to capture everything and share with our friends and family about the goings of life, therefore I have decided to write this blog as a comic. Mostly pictures with slight information to go along with them. Soooo…What has been going on in our “bat cave” you ask?

Meanwhile {~~while life in the Wright’s household seemed more fast paced than ever~~}…
