A Cowboy’s Wife

I don’t know what edition of rambling round up this is..sorry. First, we had 110 entries in the Doodlebugz giveaway with the winner being………………..Shannon P from “From Cribs to Car Keys“.  Congrats Shannon, you have 3 days to email at lori at thecowboyshack dot com.

I encourage you to go and enter into Lisa’s Digital Photo Frame from Sony, a value worth $249 bucks!  That’s some frame I’d say:)

I’ve got a tutorial for those of you thinking about getting your own domain with your own web host!  Check it out.  Also, for those of you who haven’t been over to my review blog, I encourage you to subscribe because not only will I be reviewing products, I’ll be giving stuff away–a real good one is coming soon:)

If you haven’t joined the Mom Bloggers Club, you need to.  There is always VERY active conversations going on, some wonderful groups you can join from blogging help to crafting, and there are always some great articles written by Jennifer that are a must read.  I spend more time there than I should but I do enjoy it a great deal.

I am a new contributor over at Blissfully Domestic, a hot online magazine that covers just about all topics!  There is also a social network you can join and become a Blissfully Domestic Diva:)  The women there are awesome and they have some plans in store so add to your feeder!

Are you appreciative of the life you’ve been given?  Do you gripe about everyday stuff that doesn’t matter?  Have you taken your family for granted here lately?  If this sounds like you, you need to go read and follow Andrea’s (now Kelly’s) story.  Andrea passed away not too long ago from cancer.  She knew she was, she even had a  post ready for her husband to publish for that day.  Her husband and family are carrying on her story and theirs.  It made me cry and I never even read that blog before.  It really makes you appreciate WHO you have around you.

If you’re a photography buff (even if you’re not), join in Sarcastic Mom’s Weekly Winners.  Basically, you’ll post your favorite photo on Sunday that you took during that week.  She’ll pick the weekly winners to showcase and there’s an incentive to do it too if you need that sort of thing;)

Finally, I want to give thanks to some people.

First, an absolute thank you to WONDERSPOT.NET for having the awesome giveaway in which I won and had a wonderful time!!!!

Second, a HUGE thank you to the most wonderful parents in the world for taking care of the airfare to California and back!  Yeah, they’re cool, I know it.

Third, I must thank Elizabeth, Dana, and Jennster for taking me under their wing at Blogher and making me feel comfortable and having a blast!

Last but not least, thank you to my wonderful, loving man who (really didn’t want me to go) but encouraged me to have a good time but not too good of a time…he he
