Blogging Against Hunger

Back in August of last year I joined ShopRite and Gen­eral Mills in their Partner’s in Car­ing pro­gram. In recog­ni­tion, Gen­eral Mills has included my face, along with the many other blog­gers who also par­tic­i­pated in the pro­gram, on the back of a spe­cial edi­tion of Honey Nut Chee­rios. The box fea­tures the title “Blog­ging Against Hunger” on the front and on the back includes a mosiac of our faces. It went on sale Sun­day, Jan­u­ary 24 and is only avail­able at ShopRite.

Tackle it Whenever

Yes, this is my liv­ing room. Well, it was. I know, it looks like a tor­nado hit. Well it did. My daugh­ter. In fact that is her nick­name: The Tor­nado. and while this is not entirely her fault, she helped. So when my mom offered to give us a beau­ti­ful three piece ente­tain­ment cen­ter and she hired the movers to bring it in less than 24 hours, I decided that it was time to tackle this mas­sive mess.

I worked long and hard in between tweets and surf­ing the net. Then, my hus­band helped when he got home from work at 1:00 am. And then we moved some stuff in the morn­ing. Still, it wasn’t until after 9:30 PM that night that the liv­ing room actu­ally started to take shape. Of course much of this had to do with the fact that I had a EXQUISITE piece of fur­ni­ture to work around. And so, with­out fur­ther ado, I intro­duce my new liv­ing room.

Isn’t it beau­ti­ful?! I love it and so does my daugh­ter. She likes to open and close the cab­i­net and roll around on the rug. It’s a good qual­ity rug too– soft and thick.

It’s funny how one really expen­sive and beau­ti­ful piece of fur­ni­ture can change your mood. I was get­ing kind of bummed because my apart­ment lacked char­ac­ter and style, but not any more. It is beau­ti­ful. It almost makes the big whole in my wall left by the movers worth it– ok, not quite.

Next, my din­ing room table. This is what hap­pens when a mom is try­ing to start her own busi­ness and a hus­band is work­ing very hard to pick up the slack. Hey you think this is bad? You should see my bed­room. I have a lot to do before Thanks­giv­ing Dinner.
