Don't let the spammers get you down

I recently had an uptick in comments, only to find my popularity spike was partly due to spammers. I plan to increase my postings this year. New and regular readers can look forward to more food, fun and Success or Mess experiments. I welcome your comments. Just be aware, I've implemented the "read-and-retype-the-word-in-the-box" as a way to keep spam at bay. 

I liked it better when the only spam we had to avoid was ham in a can. Although, you'd be surprised at what spam can do when you cook it up - maybe a future Success or Mess experiment? :)

SYOAS - See you online again soon!

(Almost) Spring Contest

It’s a time for celebrating. Spring is near, the sun is warming and this blog is having a birthday.

As a way to thank loyal followers, and encourage new readers, I’m hosting a contest. The subscriber who posts the best photo caption for this photo will win a $25 gift card (your choice - books, shoes or grub).

It’s simple. Just keep it light and fun, and post your caption in the comments section. Tell your friends, family and anyone you meet to comment or “like” your caption by March 20, 2012, and you could win.

Now, have some fun!   

Our March Madness

It’s already April, but March is worth mentioning. Specifically, Our March Madness. We were blessed with a new baby - cute little cheeks, round-the-clock feedings, diapers and all. Now the free time we might have had was gone, but for a very good reason. Baby, toddler, work and house all taking our time and energy, left us with barely enough to potty and fuel up on coffee in order to keep going.

Now that we are a few weeks into the new routine (chaos), I’ll begin blogging again. Be sure to check in again for more recipes, articles and anecdotes. Happy weekend.
