Day 12: How you found out about blogger and why you have one

I found out about Blogger and blogging from a few friends on Facebook. They blogged about their lives and their kids and with Wayne and I starting a family, I thought it was a great alternative to scrapbooking. I still do some scrapbooking, but I feel like Blogging is so much faster, easier and to be honest cheaper.

We went off the pill in April 2010 and that's when I started my blog.

I write about everything and am usually an open book. I try and keep it positive. I don't think anyone wants to read negativity.

Day 13: A letter to someone who has hurt you recently

I thought about this one a lot, trying to figure out who to write to. I don't want to write to anyone specific, because I don't want to name names, but I guess this is just more of a generalization to people.I think these 3 saying that I found on Pinterest sum it up the best:

Day 14: A picture of you and your family

Missing my Mom & Dad, but this is me with my Husband, Daughter and siblings.

My loves.

Day 8: Short term goals for this month and why

In no particular order:

Make great progress with reading Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

I've been slowly reading this book for months now and want to move on to book #2 and #3 and then see the Swedish movies and the American movie.

Complete all 30 days of this "30 Days of Me"

I know I will, but I just want to be accountable.

Take time for me

I usually do and my awesome Hubs lets me, so it's usually not an issue, but I just have to remind myself sometimes.

Start Hailey's 1 year scrapbook

This shouldn't be totally difficult as I'm not scrapping her entire first year and every little detail. Most of it is on this blog regarding her growing and learning and progressing. I'm sure I will do a post with pictures once I'm done to show it off.

Ride the bus to/from work at least 4x/week

Riding the bus has so many perks. The number one things is it's cheaper. There is a bus stop right by my house, so I usually drive to it and park. I hardly use any gas. But the other big reason is that is where I do my reading. I get about 25 minutes in the morning and 25 minutes in the evening to read. Which when you have a 9 month old is a lot of reading time.

Bring my lunch to work at least 4x/week

I've been trying to not eat out as much. Maybe be a little healthier with my choices. I'm still working on being consistent with this one, though.

Look into healthy dinner recipes for my family

With Wayne's lifestyle change and food intake, I want to explore more options for actual meals.

Sign us up for Susan G. Komen walk

About a month ago Wayne said that he wanted to do a 5k. I know the Mother's Day Susan G. Komen 5K walk is coming up and it would be a perfect one to do as we can run/walk and we can have Hailey in the stroller, too!

Go on a walk around the block at least 2x/week

Wayne has already been doing this a lot during the day, but one night this week he waited until I got home from work and then we did it together as a family with our pups. We went around a few times cause we usually only take 2 dogs at a time.

Drink more water

Ever since Hailey was born, I have been not drinking as much water as I was when I was pregnant. So a goal of mine is to simply drink more.

That should about do it. What are your goals for the month?

Day 9: Something you're proud of in the past few days

We found out this past Thursday that after 15 weeks on this life changing diet he is down 101 lbs.To make it this far and be down by that much is just truly amazing. I couldn't be happier or more proud of him everyday that goes by.

Day 7: A picture of someone/something that has the biggest impact on you

I just love this picture my Husband took last week of him and Hailey hanging out on our deck in our backyard. It moves me in so many ways. I love the serious pondering look on her face and in her eyes. Wayne is such a good Daddy and I am reminded of that on a daily basis. My daughter is lucky to have a Father that loves her more than anything and takes such good care of her.

To me this picture is perfect and worth a thousand words, yet it leaves me feeling full and speechless.

Day 4: A habit that you wish you didn’t have

Procrastinate: to put off or defer (an action) until a later time; delay

I am so bad at this. Putting things off until they NEED to be done and I have to FORCE myself. I am trying to get better and get things done, though. I am working on it. I swear.

Day 5: A picture of somewhere you've been to

This picture represents my trip to Mountain Home, Arkansas that I took with Hailey, my Dad, Aunt Cindy and Grandma back in October 2011.

My Great-Great Grandma Delma got to meet Hailey for the first and only time.

GGG Delma has been in hospice care since mid February. Even though she has been deteriorating and is not with us mentally, she is still with us physically. I pray for her everyday.

Day 6: Favorite superhero and why

Wolverine

He's super ripped and strong.

He heals fast. Ages slowly.

He's mysterious.

He's tough, but has a soft side.



I love Hugh Jackman.

I love all the movies with Wolverine in it.



He's also apart of the X-Men series which I also love.

What about you??

Day 3: A picture of you and your friends

One of my favorite days ever and probably the only time in my life where I had all the people I love (family & friends) all in the same room. These are my BFF's. Also read HERE for more info on my relationships with my BFF's.

These people are seriously the greatest and my best friends for life!

So I got this idea from Kellie to do 30 Days of Me. I saw it awhile back on her blog, but thought April would be a great month to do it since it's my birthday month. So here we go.I will be trying to do these each day, so I might be posting up to 2+ blogs per day this month.

Day 1: A recent picture of you and 15 interesting facts about yourself

1. I pretty much love all boy bands. This is my current crush boy band...The Wanted. Love them. They came to the KDWB Skyroom on Friday and Hailey and I got to meet them.

2. I never had a pet up until 2006 and it changed my life forever. Now I have 4 dogs and wouldn’t change anything. I talk to them as though they are human and I believe they understand what I am saying to them. I don’t believe in “outside” dogs. I think that’s stupid and it makes me angry.I can't ever imagine my life without a dog now and my daughter will grow up with at least one.

Go read for all info on my pups.

3. I have a fear of worms and hate walking outside when it rains. My least favorite season is spring for that reason. I also don’t like big bodies of water and have a fear of drowning.

4. I don’t like talking on the phone. I rather text or email. I also screen my calls.

5. I don’t go anywhere without a sweatshirt/jacket and chapstick.

6. I love the smell of meat markets, gas and big permanent marker.

7. I broke both my wrists in 3rd grade.I was running down the steps and fell face forward and braced myself with my arms.

8. I want to get a tattoo and have known what I want for a long time, I just don’t know where I want it.

9. I like to read teen novels. I can't help it. In my defense I have a 14 year old sister that loves to read and she gets me hooked on different books/series.

10. If I am around people that are crying or am even watching tv or a movie where they are crying I will usually cry, too.

11. Sometimes I get motion sickness when I ride in the backseat of a vehicle. Especially a van.

12. I hate making the bed and usually don't unless people are coming over.

13. I love kids cartoons.

14. My mom is my best friend, other than my Husband. I tell her pretty much everything.

15. I don't like corn. I know. People think I'm nutty. I even grew up in the midwest, too. I will have corn on the cob in the summer a couple times, but I usually stay away from it.

Day 2: The meaning behind your blog name

My Some Kind of Wonderful is the name of my blog. I think it's pretty self-explanatory. This blog and where I share my life is My Some Kind of Wonderful.It may not be perfect, but it's perfect for me and it's mine.

My web address is www.mrsmamad.com

I recently changed it. I had been thinking about it for awhile and since my twitter has been MrsMamaD, I thought why not have my blog address be that as well. So I bought the web address for it and here we are.

It's me...A Mrs = married AND A Mama = being a Mom. The D is just the first letter of our last name.

Now go find me on twitter and lets be friends!!
