In May of 2008, my oldest child moved in with my mother. I followed a year later. When he moved here, the room he was given was filled with my mother’s Doll Collections, her books, pictures of family, and other stuff that was…well…hers. He was able to get her to move the dolls out but the other stuff stayed.

He is a senior this year and has decided to stay home the first year of college and attend a Junior College in the area. However, his room still does not scream “AJ”. It screams, “I am AJ and I sleep in one of my granny’s extra rooms.”

Top that off with the fact that the furniture is a bit old and the carpet as well and you have a room that is crying for help. Here is a video from my son AJ to give you an idea of what I am talking about.

Ok, so by now you know that I am not a typical mommy blogger. However, my friend, Dr Mommy, thinks I would be great at doing reviews. I am getting books to review and I am even doing some reviews on things to help mom relax. I will be starting those soon and would love to do some more. Here is my dilemma…

Mom Unplugged is not a normal Mommy Blog. I don’t do the Wordless Wednesdays like Ionce did, I don’t talk about other contests, etc, and I really am just not very “mommy blog” centered. Don’t get me wrong, I love moms – shoot I am one – but I don’t follow the crowd. I am just me!

My other problem is that this blog talks about some deep stuff and that is what most of my readers look forward to. I hit topics that many won’t on their mom blogs. I love what I write about and really don’t want to divert from it at all.

Do you see that pretty heart? it represents change for a better me, and you if you choose to accept the challenge as I did. My good friend -really i am not joking – Kelly McCausey has decided it is time to become a better her. What a goal! She took some time to talk about it and open up the challenge to all who will join her on a road that is sure to change lives.

I am in. Most of my readers know that I have been on a journey like this for quite some time. so joining this challenge is right up my alley.

Let me share with you what I will be working on in the next 48 days:

1. Getting into the Word Daily.
2. Journaling daily
3. Stretching
4. Managing my time better
5. Eating more fresh fruits and vegetables

My buddy Arika over at They Call Me Whammy started this really cute meme and since I am starting to be a better blog hostess and guest as well as a better wife, I am participating in this. Here is how you play:

Let’s play shall we? Here’s how.

1. Grab the graphic up there and insert it, along with these rules, in your post.
2. Give at least 5 reasons why you love your hubby. List more if you want.
3. Tag 5 people (or more) to play along and link to their blogs in your post.
4. Then visit those women’s blogs and leave them a comment on any of their posts.

Now I guess I gotta share why I love my man…right? Ok here goes:

1. He challenges me and helps me to grow.

Over the past month, my friend over at Dr Mommy Chronicles has given me a few awards that I have neglected to put up. Oh boy am I bad with that. But I need to get better. I am not sure If I will post them on my sidebar because I don’t like a lot of clutter; so here are my bloggy awards and you know what I am a little happy about them too!

Thank Daisy! I think you are pretty special too.
