I am in no way a photographer. It' so bad that I only take pictures with my phone and thanks to apps like Instgram, my photos look decent :)

I've been looking at cameras (really like the canon 7d) but I just don't know much about them at all. I'd like a camera that is good for taking nature type photos - close ups and such. Suggestions please.

I'm sure you've noticed the baby changing stations you can find in most public restrooms. These fold down, hard plastic changing tables usually have a strap to hold the baby in place and gives you a way to easily change your baby's baby while you are out of the house. While these are not too comfortable, being cold hard plastic, any parent who has used one will realize how nice it is to change your baby without getting on your hands and knees. The great news is that there is a way to have this same convenience at home.

There is a large variety of baby changing stations available for the home and they are much nicer than the ones found in public restrooms. They are tables with slight raised edges and some type of strap to keep your baby secure through the changing. Many have wheels that you can lock so you can easily move it from room to room. Some may have padding that you can cover with a disposable or washable sheet for your baby's comfort. They also offer storage room for babies, wipes, creams, and anything else you need nearby during a changing. In addition, they come in many colors and styles so you can find one that will match your home or nursery décor.

Getting a baby changing table for your home is a great idea. They make your baby feel more comfortable and give your back a much needed rest. Baby changing stations also help your baby understand that when they are on the table, it is time to calm down and allow themselves to be changed. The more they get into the habit of being changed on the table, the more they will understand that table time is changing time and cooperate better with you.

Hello everyone! This blog gets a lot of Spam comments - usually on the 'popular' posts, of course. Anyway, I have the spam filter on and sometimes a genuine comment gets put in the spam filter by the system. I'm not sure what the determining factors are, but it happens.

I do check the spam section to find the real comments so if you don't see your comment, it's possible it went to the dreaded spam filter, but I will see it and move it to where it should be :)

WOW-- I have not been getting alerts for comments :( I just saw all sorts of comments from readers on a few different blog entries. Trying to get back to you all now.

I have to take a moment to address the idea that Witches are sexy and it's 'hot' to 'be with' a Witch. Has anyone else heard this? I think simply has to do with the whole preconceived notion of what or who a Witch is.

However, with this in mind I thought, "why is the whole Witches are sexy idea bad?" Witch or not, I love to feel and therefore be sexy! This put me on a mission to find sexy yet comfortable women's underwear and even some lingerie.

I do a lot of Internet surfing and to my surprise, I found an excellent site that has just what I am looking for. K&Co definitely has all sorts of underwear, bras, and lingerie for women of all shapes and sizes.

The masquerade covers a boudoir chic and double layer sensual look. Re-introduced in a new fashion colour way, black with pistachio. Two layered French lace embellished with velvet straps and beading detail, are only some of many features that make this range so appealing!

Then I saw this bra and panty set; since I still have a baby pooch, this type of underwear is perfect!


Just wanted to pass on the website I mentioned and also thought the whole "Witches are sexy" idea would be good for discussion. What do you think, have you come across this before?

I just finished the task of getting an insurance quote online and in the midst of "Internet surfing" I came across a few really good blogs.

I have a blog list on the sidebar of this blog and I'd like to add to that. If you add my blog to your, I'll add yours to mine. This way we both get exposure to a wider audience. I have made many wonderful friends doing blog exchanges too, I'd love to get to know more of my readers so if you have a blog, leave a comment.

Oh wow--is 'vlogging' a word? I had to Google it and yep, it is! I've been thinking about getting a digital camcorder and recording things like making incense and oils. I don't know, what do you think? I don't even know what camcorder would be best? I was reading online digital camcorder reviews to try and see what the best camcorder is out there, but honestly, I'm lost.

Do you have a channel on YouTube? Do you 'vlog'?

I want to thank you all for the excellent feedback regarding my last few posts. I enjoy seeing all points of view, even if I don't agree ;)

Is that even a word? Either way, it's real in my little world! I have been working like crazy for a really awesome Internet SEO Company and they sure keep me busy. That's cool though, after all, I need to save money for our next Disney trip!

I also have a few more blogs up and running, so please have a look and leave a comment if you want!

Speaking of blogs and Disney trips, Zyon has decided to start a blog all about our last trip to WDW and how planning this upcoming trip is going - from his point of view. Should be interesting.
Check it out: Dude in Disney

I have also decided to put my 'Daily Om' posts on my Unbalanced Libra blog from now on.

It's funny because I have 5 blogs and trying to keep them all straight gets me confuzzeled! LOL
I am trying, people! I have so many blogs to keep each in their own kind of groove, yet I know, I stray and just babble away about stuff.
So...many of you know I went on an extended vacation with family. I will be updating about all the events...and believe me, there were a ton.
I will do a day by day update on my Independent Mom blog, so look for that in the coming days!

Yes, I am freaking out! There are only 3 days until we leave for vacation!!! Tomorrow starts the chaos. I want to clean my downstairs, which includes washing the floors. Thursday I want to clean the upstairs and do the laundry. Friday Zy and I have to pick up the van we are renting to drive down there. Then we have to pack as much as we can and get it situated in the van. We are leaving Saturday morning!!
I am starting to feel really stressed!

I have a Tigger mug that I've been using for YEARS as it was my favorite. However, my mother, who regularly *pooo pooos* my Pagan beliefs, bought me this mug:



Poor Tigger's been taking a back seat! Get a cool mug like mine at Our name is Mud

Wow, I am very impressed with the customer service Zyon received yesterday at Honda! NO, this is NOT a sponsored post, I just want to brag!
You may remember me mentioning that we just got a 2008 Honda Pilot and in less than a week someone HIT IT! Yesterday, Zy took it in to the dealer to have sidesteps installed. We figure these will make it easier for the Witchlets to get in and out of the SUV. While he's there, a guy who was working on it noticed the bumper and asked what happened, so Zy told him the story and how we have an appointment at a body shop next week for it to be fixed, to the tune of $642! The guy told us he'd just fix it!
They have a mini shop at the dealership that is used to fix up cars they get in and sell used.
Now, they didn't take the bumper off and do all that stuff, which the auto body was going to do but they did buff out the marks and make it look nice!
We are going to need to get touch up paint and fix some areas:


However, this is nothing compared to what it WAS!
The best part? They did this for FREE! Now, I don't know if this is just what Honda normally does for their customers or not but the fact that THEY took the time to talk to Zyon about it and then fix it without charging a dime is what will keep me a customer. I am now all about Honda!

I am dead tired right now, even the coffee isn't perking me up. Zyon worked last night and for some reason I couldn't sleep so I was up until he got home. We went to bed around 2:30am and I had to be up at 5:30am to get Olivia from Jeff by 6:15am Yes, I'm trying to function on a mere 3 hours of sleep. *yawn*
I stopped at Dunkin' Donuts this morning because I have an addiction to their coffee.
Even that isn't doing the trick. I want to go back to bed but I can't becasue Olivia is up and wants breakfast. Not to mention the boys are up already. WHY must they jump around and scream??!! Oh cripes, why did I stay up so late last night?

I always feel overwhelmed come Spring time. I get in this cleaning mode and I begin to feel, I guess the word is suffocated, in this house.
I HATE clutter. I practically have to talk myself out of hyperventilating when I am in my mom's house. She has so many *nick knacks* and all kinds of other junk in her house.
In this house, it's the closets. There are 3 walk in closets in our upstairs, none in the bedrooms, and one in our downstairs. I don't know HOW it happens, but it accumulates toys and clothes over the winter months.
Oh and the TOYS. UGH....A trip to Goodwill is definitely in the plans.

We've decided not to start any new project until we get back from vacation. We leave in about a month and there's so much to do with planning that, I need to really focus on it.
Gah!

I LOVE our new 2008 Honda Pilot! I don't *love* my monthly payment, lol. This is the first time in YEARS I have a *car payment*
We had a 2006 Chevy Uplander that we bought outright for about $20K. We got $10K for that as a trade in.
This vehicle drives like a dream and has lots of cool features, since we have the SE (special edition)
The best part? Only 80 miles on it!

Sorry to burst your bubble but I feel it is my sole duty to let everyone know that I have discovered there is no sock monster.
If you have never heard of this creature, it is what steals socks from your laundry. Ever do the laundry, only to notice a sock has gone missing?
Well my friends, the sock monster did not take it. It's not lost in some alternate universe. It's in your washing machine.
Yes, I am telling you, that's where I have been finding lone socks. They stick to the inside of the washing machine, probably because of the super fast spin down they get. If you don't look closely when you're transferring clothes from the washer to the dryer, you may miss a sock. These socks are the cleanest socks in the world because they keep getting washed, load after load! hahaahaaa!

So, sorry folks, there is no sock monster!

I KNEW I forgot to put *something* on the grocery list. I always seem to forget at least one item. *sigh*
So, 1/2 roll just won't last a week, heh. Of course, the logical thing to do is use tissues until I can get to the store, right?
Umm, the only tissues we have are those Puffs with the Vicks in them. Yea, not gonna touch my girlie bits!
Thank goodness my mom lives next door! I got a pack of 4 rolls from her. *whew*!

This blog has a great deal of different content throughout it. However, the main purpose is to tell the tale of my life.
I am a Witch, Zyon is Pagan and yes, we're raising the *witchlets* in this way. I talk about our spirituality and our beliefs.
I am becoming more and more aware of inner health and beauty and I like to blog about that. Of course, I am interested in fashion as well as hair and skin care , I mean, I DO read Cosmo! In fact, I should have a *Beauty Tip of the Week* posted every week =) Ha! I think I'll start that this week!
I love all things entertainment, especially celebrity gossip , so let's chat about that!
Well my friends, this is what you can expect to read within this blog =)

I suppose I'll try to give this blog some direction. It's the most personal blog out of all the blogs I have.
All the blogs? LOL, yep, I have a few!

If you're interested, check them out:

• The Life of an Unbalanced Libra - This is my *main* blog. Most of the product and service reviews are on this blog. There are some personal entries as well as the blabber about the Walt Disney World trip we'll be taking this May. Most of the ways in which I am earning money to pay for that trip is in this blog.

• Financial Freedom At Your Fingertips - This is mainly about business and money making.

• My GPT Money Blog - This deals mainly with *get paid to* sites, the current promotions going on and lots of proof of payments!

So, as you see, my other blogs do have some sort of rhyme or reason, but this one doesn't. It's a mix of talk about my family, my relationship with Zyon, my spirituality and my fetishes.
I've started a poll asking you, my readers, what you'd like to read more about here. Please vote!
