Catchin' Up

Thank you to everyone who is reading the House Hunting back stories. A new page just went up a few minutes ago in a separate post.

In the last four days, I have missed some of the best link ups while I have been writing out this story. I still plan on doing them... I don't care about being late to the party... Big Holly just likes to party.

Do you know how many people linked up to my "Finish the Sentence..." linkup with Jake? 126 people!! And I have manners when it comes to linkups. If I host one, I be sure to go through everyone's page and leave a comment. But I broke my own rule this weekend. I went through and read a lot, but since my children need fed, I couldn't comment on all 126.

Some of you were downright hilarious. Jake kept texting me the highlights on Friday. And how much do you all love Jake now?? I read his post at least 12 times. His poison ivy story? I was coughing and laughing at the same time trying to read it out loud. He is going to be a big blogger... check him out HERE.

But since there could only be two winners.... We have decided on....

Ashlee from Iseminger Chronicles and Meghan from Neerky. Email me your addresses so I can send you some Starbuck's cards. :)

And now some motivation for your Monday. :)


My Home Slice, Jenn, from Fat Chick 2 Fit Chick is hosting a linkup through tomorrow called, "Why I am Awesome!" I plan on digging through some old photos tonight. Please link up, too. These have been hilarious. And if you don't know Jenn,  she is like a candy apple on a stick. There is no good way to eat her.... Just enjoy it. I love, love, love her. And her husband isn't too bad either. They are some of the funniest people around. But more than that, Jenn is looking so good. She has lost almost 100 pounds. Please check out these pictures.


Courtney from Journey of a Dreamer is a St. Louis mom and Cross-Fit addict. She recetnyl just went through the process to be a certified instructor. She has lost a lot of weight and will give you advice as to what worked for you as well as show you her cheat meals from Waffle House. Courtney is running the half marathon with us next mom (step one is denial, Holly)... and I can't wait to see her PR! Check out Courtney's blog HERE.


Both of these girls have WordPress blogs... ya know, 'cause they're better than us. :) All you have to do to read their posts is enter your email address in the side subscribe bar. It's easy and you''ll receive an email when they have a new post.

Happy Monday!

  6. Thanks for thinking I'm funny and rewarding me with Starbucks! I love that about you. I'm stoked about doing more link ups - it's like I have real friends!

    Love your house story. I mean, in a saga kind of way. Like Twilight. Well, not like Twilight. Twilight sucked. I don't love that you had to go through all of that bs.

  8. I'm loving your house story and I can almost relate. We were preparing to remodel our kitchen when we found a much larer foundation proble. Now, we're at an impasse, not really sure what to do next. Your stories give me hope that there will be a solution to our problem as well. Thanks for inspiring me and giving me hope! :-)
