The boys had star fruit for lunch yesterday. It cheered us up immensely from being stuck in the house while the cold rain beat down outside.

Not all of Washington, D. C. was shut down this past couple of weeks . . . These are the guards at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The Old Guard keeping watch regardless of the weather conditions!

He’d said this to me for years – in fact, in an email I received from him a week after I met him, he extolled how much he loved the fact that I put an effort into looking nice. But this time, reading it, I took it as an accusation – as in, “I would appreciate it if you would put an effort into your appearance, but you don’t because you’re fat, ugly, frumpy, limp.”

Go take pictures of your kids. Wrap your arms around your husband’s neck and take a picture of the two of you. Hand the camera over to someone sitting next to you in the restaurant and have him take a picture of you and your family.

For those of you who read me who are not in the “blogging world”, this weekend is a huge blogging conference called Blissdom. Some of us couldn’t go because an ocean separates them from Nashville, some of us chose not to go because our husbands went back to Afghanistan last weekend and we thought the stress of Mommy going away for a whole weekend would be too much for our toddlers, and some of us just couldn’t go.

About three weeks ago, Geri at Heart and Soul Cooking presented me with this blog award. I was so excited! Then I got busy with Gregg coming home and having him home that I forgot to send it forward!

When Hallee asked me to do a guest post for her so she & Gregg could get away for some alone time, I was happy to help. Since her blog covers a wider range of topics than my health & nutrition blog does, I thought I’d do something a little different than normal and share blogging advice with you from many of the amazing bloggers in my niche. The tips below are from seasoned bloggers for newer bloggers, for all those crazy people out there who have jumped into the fray and decided to take on this wild adventure!
