you could ask for this for christmas….a gift certificate for pictures! OR you could give it for christmas. it would be loved by everyone. we can get creative….it could be a newborn baby shoot… anything you can think up….we can probably make it work.
It’s a great pleasure for me to read this awesome ideas you have shared to us. I really appreciate this site. hi, nice post.I have been pondering this topic,so thanks for sharing.i’ll probably be coming back to your blog.Keep up great writing….. It’s about time smoeone wrote about this. I’m late in seeing this, so I’m commenting to dead air, but I just had to say that this is seriously, seriously, adorable. i’ve spread the word on my blog… that shoot is quality idea and I’m doing my part to make it happen. Whenever i see the post like your’s i feel that there are still helpful people who share information for the help of others, it must be helpful for other’s. thanx and good job. when george gets there call me…amy d’s Mom That is awesome! I hope George contacts you 🙂 If only I lived closer! I would LOVE to have a photo session with you! That is such a great idea< you realy think out of the box! I will so assist you on that shoot. Do you need a kidney or anything?? haha. He is so dreamy. I would do a photoshoot if we were closer! If you’re ever in Houston, let me know! HA!!! LOVE IT!!!! When you set that up, will you contact me and I’ll be your assistant, free of charge of course:-) I wish i lived near you. This would be so fun! Boo. 🙁 I have a cousin that knows of you through a friend that wants to have her family pictures taken by you! I’ll have to forward this on to her husband! Seems like there are at least 2 of us in Seattle who want you to come out this way- wonder if we could get a Northwest Weekend for Meg arranged? Um, slight problem with the Gift Certificate for George. If you happen to be reading my blog, you will have noticed that he is pre-occupied with kid-wrangling in my home at present and peeling me the occasional grape. What can I say? He was insistent. This just might make me move back to KS. What a great idea. If you ever want to make a trip to Chattanooga, TN for pictures, let me know! :0) can’t wait to see the clooney shoot. mmmmm. forget the licorice, how bout a little george eye-candy!!? ROTFL! that’s cute 😀 my kids came to the computer saying “what’s so funny mom? MoM! why are you laughing so hard?” 😉 cute! i loved it. now…i’m trying to figure out how to justify the plane tickets for 8 that my gift card request would entail…if i get that figured out I will be paypaling you tonight! 😉 Do you do house calls…..to Amish country, USA? why is the word boudoir so funny to me? I wonder if george knows how lucky he is to have you take his photos 😉 Oh my gosh, count me as one of the ones who spit my coffee at the screen. I scrolled down and saw “Boudoir” and thought, “I didn’t know she shot boudoir shots…” and then I realized the recipient was specified and that’s whent he spitting occurred. Just think— I really did meet George Clooney on my honeymoon. What? I’ve already told you that? It must’ve slipped my mind. 🙂 I would drive to KS if I received that as a gift! I have family in MO, so it’s not too much of a stretch. 🙂 I wish I lived a little closer to Kansas… 🙂 that would be on my list for sure! I would love that! I live a little too far away (Seattle)… but my sister lives in Chicago. Hmm…. If only I lived in Kansas. Would love to, but I live too far away…I LOVE your photography style! 🙁 laughed loudly in my living room while my child was sleeping. Oh what I wouldn’t do to actually get that first g/c in the mail. I would love to have our family pics taken by you. That would be a perfect Christmas gift. and thank you for the laugh…..hahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa come to Houston! ha ha so funny!!! I would like to participate in the session with George! He filmed his movie ‘Up’ here in St. Louis and I wasn’t able to get a glimpse of him no matter how much I stalked him! 🙂 you crack me up…and i want to see the pics when you are done. 😉 Ha.Larious! Too funny!- wish I lived closer I would totally be asking Santa for this! can i assist you on that shoot. love him. he beats “team edward” or “team jacob” anyday!!! his new movie looks great!!! what would YOU get a 9 year old boy for christmas? we are clueless. he doesn't want legos anymore…thank goodness because we probably have 10,000. HELP ME. A little late but b-day. . . . Lazer Tag, a kick n’ go scooter, a Razor rip rider, hmmm. . that’s all I’ve got There is sport out there called “Staking”. You buy the cups and time yourself with a mat which is inlcuded and a timer….then you stack and unstack the cups to see how fast you can do it. Bought it for my daughters last year and they loved them….Go online and google stacking cups. Good luck. my nine year old boy asked for an archery set and a pocket knife….. remember mini RC’s? They were a big hit at Radio Shack more than a few years ago. I got my son’s friend one in the section of Target where all of the Air Hogs stuff lives. It was the biggest hit of the birthday party. Who knew? -Ninetendo DS and a pokemon game. My son (now 10) says his BEST gift EVER was the metal detector he got last Christmas. He takes it outside with him…or if we go to Grandma’s, or the park…He loves to “treasure hunt”. He generally finds coins and bottle caps…. he has found a ring,… All of these finds are treasures to him…. because he “detected” them and dug them up… keeps him outside and active… Well my 8 year old nephew is obsessed with Bakugan, so that is what he is getting. They are priced very well and are actually pretty cool. The catalog Museum Tour has a lot of cool stuff. I have an 8 year old boy and an 11 year old, and this year they’re getting (to share!) one of those Razor motorbikes? I’m probably crazy but I think they’re going to be so excited — it’s totally NOT something that I ordinarily would buy. They’re expensive, though, so I only bought one and they’ll just have to share… I just wanted to thank you for this post. The only person left to buy for on my xmas list….my 8 year old brother! I had NO ideas. Now I have a ton! Thanks! A puppy (lol). Something gooey and slimey. Spy stuff. A Stomp Rocket. I have a nine year old son and he loves it!http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0006O8Q7Y/?tag=googhydr-20&hvadid=3413308937&ref=pd_sl_539nmdts9a_b Two things I haven’t seen as suggestions – FABLEHAVEN (the best 4 books ever!!!) also, I got my 9 year old boy a “fanny pack” and put in a pocket knife combo thing, a compass, carabeeners, waterbottle, small package of ropes, cool first aid kit from walmart – came in a little pouch, (could do walkie talkies) little bungee cords with the hooks on the end, and a few other boy scout-ish things. We got him a metal detector for his birthday and really he loved it but its a gift hes only used a very few times (meaning 2-3) so if you dont mind your yard having holes in random places…go ahead 🙂 What about a gift card to a place where he could do “manly” things like rock climbing or hitting baseballs? It’s kinda two pronged cuz it’s a gift and it’s the gift of time spent with dad! I saw a very cool paper airplane book at JoAnn Fabrics. It looked really great. It showed you how to make all sorts of paper airplanes in it had a pocket in the back with cool patterned paper. Good luck! Well, I’m glad someone else is having problems buying for their 9 year old son. He does have some Legos on his list, and an iPod, and spy gear. I don’t even know what he wants to do with the spy gear. My son is 9 and I think that we’re finally getting him a DS (not the new one…he doesn’t need to surf the net!). We’re on the fence but he’s been asking for years and I think that this is definitely the last year that he’s going to believe in Santa (the only thing he’s asking Santa for is the DS…he’s sort of got us backed into a corner!). He’s also asked for a sports watch and football jerseys. It definitely gets harder as they get older. He just pulled out a microscope that he got last year and is liking that…are you still doing the one gift thing? That definitely makes it hard b/c you want something that will “wow” him. What about an iPod nano w/an iTunes gift card? xbox Wow! 9-year old boy…I’m not far behind, as I have a 7-year old. We’re kind of into science and the environment here, so how about a microscope (a good one), an ant farm, subscription to National Geographic, a GPS, a pet (?)…we had the EyeClops last Christmas, but not for the squeemish…I couldn’t bear knowing what was lurking in my carpet (we found nothing, but it’s still icky!) LOL! I work with kids of all ages, and I was in charge of obtaining their Christmas lists for a party some volunteers are hosting. The boys of that age have asked for Rubik’s Cubes, remote control cars, MP3 players, how-to-draw books, legos, comic books, and probably more things I’m forgetting! There are so many great ideas here! *New large Nerf N-force swords are out; red or black. Gift Card my son is turning 10 and Im always stumped since im so girly lol my 6 and 7 year old girls’ best friend is a boy turning 9 just before Christmas. For his birthday he is getting a ream of paper, an Ed Emberley drawing book, a clipboard and coloured pencils. Seems to me all the kids want something electronic. A Wii or DSI whatever that is, skateboard or ipod. I’m just as clueless…sorry:) tech deck boards or trip flix bikes 🙂 Does he like Science stuff? We found Myth Busters (like the show) stuff at toys r us. THey had kits that discovered 4 things each, They were 16.99. We got them for Ian whose 7 and he’ll need help doing them so for a nine year old he’d be perfect. Ian just loves to watch that show wiht Jason. They also have all sorts of hands on science stuff/expieriment/csi stuff on that same aisle. good luck!! My nephew got a flip video thing last year and we had a BLAST with it! My sister-in-law just got one at Costco for $100 and their whole family’s having a lot of fun making videos and uploading them to the computer. I second all the comments about books and want to add Harry Potter and The Mysterious Benedict Society. What about board games like Apples to Apples or checkers or a books of card games and a deck of cards? Digital cameras are a hit and you can find one at basically any price point. Oh, I would be happy to buy your unused legos! 🙂 According to my 9 1/2 year old he would recommend the Percy Jackson series of books.. then, an IPOD Nano, then a PSP.. How about a digital camera? That’s what we got our 9-year-old! Then he can learn to download them on the computer, tweak them and print them. Then maybe he can teach me how to do it!! My son is nine and will turn ten before Christmas. He loves to read, so Narnia, Harry Potter and Whimpy Kid books are hits. He also loves his rip stick, video games and Nerf toys (basketball hoop and nerf dart gun). He has an i-touch and loves getting music for trips. He just got into star wars with his younger brother, and all my children are into sports. The boys are getting zoobs for Christmas and also games the whole family can play. Hope this helps! how about an experience like go-karts or horse riding or paintballing or something like that that he can “cash in on” when he wants as his gift. Or I second the motion on something tech related or console gaming etc. There’sthis site its for techie boy tweens gifts nice ideas at various price ranges http://www.target.com/Tween-Mr-Techie/b?ie=UTF8&node=1294133011 my son is 19 and is STILL obsessed with magic tricks and card tricks. how about a juggling book from klutz? how about his own tools so he can build stuff? what fun to shop for a little guy on the verge of being a big guy. soooo fun. thinkgeek.com Sports equipment? or Super hero stuff. How about a Whoopie Cushion? Seriously. I have no idea what boys in general really want. Hiking Gadgets, padlocks, books (Science books, gadget books, how cool things work – check out the Dorling Kindersley website: http://www.dk.com) – our nine year old totally loved a digital camera, a cool backpack… Now my two year old due for a birthday and with a number of siblings towering above her has no possessions and desires nothing, but I sure would like to give her something!!! We used to say this at school: Can’t think, Brain numb, Inspiration Won’t Come, Bad Ink, Worse Pen, Best Wishes, Amen. Metal detector? Wait that is my THIRTY-NINE year old husband that wanted one of those. Seriously I got my younger brother one several years back and it was a hit. Walmart.com has several, at various price points. My nephew is about to turn 9 and I got him one of those big posters at Michael’s that have the geometric shapes that you color along with a gigantic set of markers. I also got him 1000 piece puzzles and books, he loves any kinds of books. There are some awesome ideas on here though, I am glad I read them all, because now I have more ideas too!!! My 9 year old wants Bakugan and Spy Gear. Hope this helps How about a ripstick? 9 year old boys here in Oz seem to love them!! hmmmm…chocolate?? Oh man, those Diary of a Wimpy kid books are GREAT! I even loved them and I’m mom! The Nerf guns (especially the big one that breaks out into a smaller one) is a MAJOR hit! Fortunately in our house, Lego’s still rule…especially the Ferrari and Lamborghini ones! Good luck! My son is 10 and he loves those little tech decks and flip tricks bikes. I asked a woman at Target how old her son was (b/c I had to buy a gift for someone I’d never met who is eight). Her son is nine and he’s all about swords and guns (Nerf-style). Sounds awful. I’m sorry. 🙂 xoxo It’s all about the Wii at our house. Don’t know if you have one, but some of the favorite games here are the Lego games… Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Rock Band. That is a tough age. Older ds is 9 turning 10 next week, so I have to come up with birthday and Christmas ideas for this in between stage. I am getting him an erector set. Erector also makes a little electronic screwdriver type device for putting the sets together, which he thought was the coolest thing when he saw one at the store. I’m also getting him an ipod nano. I hunted around for a deal and finally found the $150 nano model for $115. Other ideas – telecope, microscope, roller blades, monoploy, camera. Good luck, and let us know what you come up with. Tether ball. We got one for our 9 year old last Christmas and he and his friends still enjoy playing with it. Zoobs- Buy a big set (over 75) because Dad will want to play too. what about a magic kit? or a book about card tricks and a deck of cards? I remember my brother being into that stuff when we were little. good luck! My son is nine and he still likes Legos and Star Wars…I would have no idea beyond that. He also likes his PSP and computer games. He loves his different bikes and being outside with his dad. Jack also loves Nerf guns. Good luck!!! I didn’t read all the comments so hopefully I’m not duplicating someone else’s idea. eyeclops night vision goggles? My oldest son really wants those. I have a link saved where you can get them for 39.99 w/ free shipping. let me know if you’re interested. 🙂 I don’t have a clue. My son is 15 yrs. old and he asked for an Ipod Touch. That is what he is getting and I just spent a fortune on clothes since we moved up north. He didn’t have anything and that took up a big chunk. Oh I am in the same boat as you. My son just made his list out last night and it was full of stuff I refuse to spend anymore money on… like Pokemon Cards and Baqubak… Trying to get something that he will actually play with is a challenge. ps – cool header. something gross. when you find out…please let me know as well;-) i think you should get him a kitten…and i just happen to have 4 to spare :O). i could probably deliver them if need be – lol! merry christmas! Diary of a Wimpy kid books My 9 year old son has been keeping a Christmas list for months…..It is literally ALL books..except for two things: Roller blades + hockey stick + hockey BALL (what not a hockey puck? NO! a hockey BALL). My brother LOVE LOVE LOVED playing driveway hockey–which requires a ball, not a puck–at that age, and of course since I wanted to grow up to be him at that the time, I LOVED it too! And if you have a cement floor in your basement (like we did) he can even play in the winter! How about a rock tumbler, I always wanted one of these as a kid. Camping stuff is cool too, although that means you have to take him camping 🙂 I like everyone’s idea of a camera as well, that is great for creativity and it doesn’t really cost much afterwards. I also second the Narnia books, I got a really nice set of those when I was about 8-9 and I read and re-read them so many times we had to get them rebound. Now my nieces are loving them (the oldest is 8). Erector sets- they have little tiny pieces and tools! And they have some that are remote control Oh YIKES!!! I’m sorry, I’m absolutely NO help…mine are just 4 and 7….so legos are still the bomb!!! But I’m soooo reading your comments and tucking them away for whenever he does make it to that stage!!!! GOOD LUCK!!!!!!! Meg, my sister just got her 10 year old son one of those portable movie projectors. Only about $70, they can take it to their rooms with friends and watch a movie on the wall or closet door. My son is only six/1st grade, but the boys in the neighborhood he plays with are older 9 & up, they like: I’m all about bicycles, skateboards, basketball, football, baseball, nerf, water guns, laser tag set…anything they can do outside. We are getting our 9 year old boy a big Big BIG nerf gun. He also found at our local book store The Daring Book For Boys. So he is getting that as well. Along with Super Mario for the Wii. He also loves yo yos and we found a neat wooden one at Starbucks (stocking stuffer) Well, being that I’m not sure what your son is “into” I would just say…a digital camera b/c my son ALWAYS wants to take mine when he goes on field trips or a friends birthday party. Or maybe an ipod (touch), we are getting these 2 things for our 10-year old. He loves music & WE will do ALL the downloading so we know what he will be listening to. How about Guiness Book of World Records or Ripley’s Believe it or Not books? My son is 11 and he still asks for the new ones of these every year. And baseball cards or basket ball cards if he is into sports. My son can sit for hours studying the facts on the back of the cards and organizing them by team. What about a nerf hoop–one that hangs on his closet door–can’t go wrong with that–you might go a little crazy with the noise, but you can’t go wrong. ask him! Im sure he’ll be more than happy to give some imput! LOVE your banner! Show him these: The Chronicles of Narnia! Or The Invention of Hugo Cabret!!! This is kind of the age to make or break ’em as a reader :)Remote control cars are cool too the comments are full of such great ideas My nine year old boy is getting books from R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps series (they are his FAVE!), possibly a video game for the family Xbox, and HOPEFULLY a digital camera. Other ideas he/we had were: Handheld Electronic Soduku, other handheld electronic board games, movies (He has requested Transformers and Monsters vs. Aliens), and posters for his room. a metal detector I also like the idea of real camping equipment (not the kiddie version). Target sells the eddie bauer and coleman stuff which is generally pretty reliable as long as he’s not planning an Everest expidition. Especially headlamps (my son loves his) and flashlights, and they are useful, too!! I ALWAYS go to http://www.gifts.com. You pick the holiday/occassion and answer a couple questions about the age and interests of your gift recipient. There’s pages and pages of ideas, with the links to get the gifts. It has worked on every person that I’ve tried it for, so far. Hope that helps! 9 year old boys are tough! LOL! My boy is 9 this year too. He asked for the 2 pack RC Helicopters from Costco. We’re not getting them(can you imagine the destruction that would happen in my living room?) but we are getting him a new RC car- he’s requested a yellow Camaro. Also he really wants the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books. And a rubber band powered balsa wood airplane. How ’bout a magazine subscription? Like a skateboarding one, or nature, or whatever? 🙂 I have 6 kids so I think through the years we have had every toy known to man. My boys loved and still do love the electronics………used to be Game Boy – what about Nintendo DS? I am not sure what price range you are looking at………but my advice is that I would rather spend the money on something they will use rather than buy lots of smaller items that they never touch. My kids have had those Nintendo DS’s for years – and then each year we can buy them new games 🙂 Meg, we got this book for both of our 9 year old nephews last year and they both loved it. it’s got a lot of cool info in it. http://www.borders.com/online/store/TitleDetail?sku=0312377061 I found this in the Brookstone catalog and I thought my 9 year old nephew would love it! It’s a pretty good price as well. My wife says I’m a 29 year-old child so I feel qualified to answer. knock my socks off… i freaking LOVE your new banner. We are shopping for a 9 year old boy too….I’ve head the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series is the BIG thing for that age (if he likes to read), my nephew had Bakugan stuff on his list, as well as magnetix, and drawing stuff (like a “how to draw” book and art pad. Good luck….honestly, our nephew that’s this age is ALWAYS the last and hardest one of all the kids to shop for! the helicopters are at Walmart also Thanks for this post cause I had to really think about what my 9 would want this year: tech decks (totally pointless finger skateboards…I don’t know, but he likes them!), nerf guns, model fighter planes…he really wants a bb gun, but I told him “you’ll shoot your eye out!”. I’m not ready for him to have a pseudo real weapon yet! Microscope or telescope. Something science-y. Mythbuster Weird World of Water. Under 20.00. I have 2 boys 9 and 6.They, of course, want more legos. Hi Megan – i love your new banner pic. does sean like to read? if so, i have a lot of friends who’s boys love the “G. A. Henty” series; total boy adventure books, lots of different time-period themes. kind of like historical fiction adventure books. look at rainbowresource.com and type in g.a. henty in the search area if you are interested. if you ever decide to get rid of any legos, we are in the market these days 🙂 My sons love those remote control helicopters? I think they’re called Airhogs. Very cool. Oh dear it is sooo hard:) My 11 year old son want more legos(you can end yours to me:)) He also loves anything sports. Have a great day! Oh..it’s a hard age… Oh..it’s a hard age… Well, nuts, I was going to say Legos:) How about a remote control helicopter (they come cheap — there’s a two pack at Costco)? Camera? Models to build with dad. Science experiment kits. Now, if you had asked what to get for a little girl I would have told you a giftcard to Clare’s or Icing or somewhere like that. But when it comes to boys I am clueless. Your kids seem to have an affinity for art, it might be a good idea to get him a sketch pad and art supplies. Maybe something like this http://www.amazon.com/Artist-Studio-Art-Set-Wooden/dp/B000TRVWII/ref=sr_1_18?ie=UTF8&s=toys-and-games&qid=1259764737&sr=8-18 Guiness Book of world records 2010 This book: I almost forgot… my son is 12 – – and im completely stuck too, although im liking the video camera idea – girls are easy easy easy and boys are a mystery (which is what makes them so interesting) Ipod touch, he’s 9, he’s old enough for one. The only thing my 9-year-old asked for this year was an automatic pellet gun. It’s smaller and just a little more powerful than his bb gun. It only cost $20, so he’ll also be getting a few pellet related items to go along with it, and a small gun box to hold everything. Have you ever heard of the Eyeclops toys? I really don’t know…maybe a RipStick, the Tony Hawk RIDE game, his own camera, a flip video camera, ?? My guys LOVED a video camera at that age…all the kids in the neighborhood would be making little movies together…they still do! how about a microscope?? You can buy premade slides and then get some extras that are empty so he can examine layers of skin, a drop of blood, milk, or even water… you never know what he might find. OR… a beginners chem lab. I think these are great because they get the kids thinking and creating and seeing the results of neat little experiments. I can’t wait til my kids are old enough to get them these!! Good luck! get him a flip video camera for his main gift—-my 10 year old (daughter would dig this) they come in black, silver and other colors- i have ideas on my site here http://pedalingfast.blogspot.com/2009/11/shop-shop_21.html My 9 year old made his Christmas wish list Sunday (with instructions that I wasn’t buying video games this year) and he came up with this: my son has done numerous projects from this book Hobby Town sells a great remote controlled boat called a Zig Zag Racer (around $65-75) that is tons of fun for boys (and grown men). It handles very smoothly. If you wanted, you could get two of them so the said boy and a friend (or brother) could race them. Of course, playing with a rc boat requires a lake or pond of some sort… So sorry on that. I can tell you anything girl. But boys.. they are a foreign land. unchartered territory. an adventure I haven’t taken….. you get the point. Good luck! Skateboard, video games (that seems to be all my 8 y.o is asking for), Alex Rider or Percy Jackson books, potty putty, spy gear. I would like to see what others say b/c I’m at a loss myself. Some of my just-turned 9 year old’s favorite things: A friend of mine just got her 9 year old a ripstick….she was clueless of what to get him too. Good luck! ~Camping equipment of his very own. My son is 11 and still very much into Legos, but he said Nerf guns and Bakugan toys are still popular. Or how about a Ripstick/skateboard? If he likes to read, the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books are great or the series 39 Clues. Or maybe just a gift card to his favorite store? 🙂 My son loves the Diary of a Wimpy Kid book series (I think there are four total), the Goosebumps series and there’s one more series, Magic Treehouse, at least 40 in that series. He’s also into skateboarding now, so I got a few of Tony Hawk’s DVDs that visit underground skate parks, along with a few of Hawk’s shirts and his DS game. Hope that helps! i can’t remember back that far. how about those motorola walkie talkies. my son loved those. I think a 9 year old boy would love; but this time….you could win something i really want. it's for clean water… for her. and her. and them. go here to tara's site to help her reach her $10,000. tara whitney is my fave photographer! doesn’t she rock? I thought about your efforts to get water to people on Thanksgiving, when I was watching the news reports about people standing in line to “be first” on Black Friday. How ironic, that we live in a land so plentiful that we have the luxury to choose to stand in line for overpriced, plastic TOYS. On the same planet, we have people that must walk for hours and stand in line, dusty and tired, just to get water–one of life’s most basic necessities. What a perfect goal to attain to. Water…clean. Yes! I love her work too!!! What a wonderful thing to all be working towards!!! Oh I love her site. Thanks for sending me there. Let’s keep our fingers crossed;) How awesome!!! How incredibly awesome!!! I love that so many people are feeling the passion to get clean water to people that don’t have it. That rocks!

I read her blog too 🙂 I just love both of your blogs…you are my favorites. I look to see what you are doing every morning with my coffee. My family is in KC area so love to see the fields of sunflowers and just the area. If she was in KS I’m going to be so bummed I missed her… Exciting! She is coming to KC in November and I can’t wait! YAY!! How exciting! I’m begging a friend to get a copy signed for my sis in law for Christmas. She’s a PW groupie, too! Who isn’t? Lucky. Can’t wait to hear about it! sweeet! 😉 Can’t wait to hear more! Hey I totaly seen you last night. I was at the book signing in OKC that line was crazy. But I saw you as you were leaving with your friend. I had finally made it to the ladder in the book store. It was a fun night. I almost just peed in my pants. So jealous! Lucky duck! I can’t wait to hear all about it! sa-weet! Good for you Megan, that sounds wonderful! I love reading her website. you and PW are 2 of my favorite bloggers! Fun to see you both in one place! can wait to hear the story! So cool! I met french bloggers Petite Anglaise and French Word a Day, such a neat feeling to meet virtual “friends” in real life:) I met her Tuesday night! I got there 20 minutes before the event started and all her books were already gone =( But I did get to meet her and take photo with the Marlboro Man. Can’t wait to make that post! No WAY! Am jealous. Can’t wait to try and meet her when she comes to Denver next month. I just got her cookbook in the mail last night and LOVE it! Unfortunately I got it for a friend’s bday – will have to order another one for myself. So cool that you got to meet her!! We both got to see our loves. Lucky. WOW!!!!!! YOU are really big time!!!! I would post a note from you if I ever met you in real life 🙂 Can’t wait to hear more 🙂 how nice of her!! seriously jealous. unfortunately, she won’t be stopping here in sacramento, ca. but, i do have my copy of the book making its way from amazon in a couple days! I’m so envious!!!!! 🙂 Oh Wow!!! And you have the book and it’s signed – You will have a great weekend!!! so jealous! wow! |

Kate - I voted! Meg you are amazing! I have spent hours on your blog site mesmerized. I hope i am half the mother and wife you are. oh my.. Keep up the great work. (:
teri - someone help. can’t figure out how to vote. registered and am clicking away but nothing is happening!
Meredith - Just voted. To be fair I did check out the other sites, but I voted first knowing that yours is my personal favorite. I check in with you everyday for great ideas. I love the format of your site and that there are no ads. You Rock Meg!!! keep up the awesome work. See you tomorrow. ha ha
Dianne Avery - You’re number three now, woot!!
Misty, it fought me too. Then I realized that I didn’t put in the verification number in to actually get the account. Once I did that, and clicked back on the “Homies” link on her page, it took me right to the voting page.
disclaimer, I’m REALLY tired so I wouldn’t be surprised if the previous sentence didn’t make sense. 🙂
tami reed - Happy New Year to you and your family!
Vicki - Happy New Year, can’t wait to continue this crazy ride called life, so much fun getting to experience it with you guys. Thanks for a year full of inspiration…
Krista - I voted! GOOD LUCK!!
duchess.of.reel - In my opinion, you’re the one to win this category. What I love about your site: NO selling advertisements!!, no stealing from other sites (if you share, you send us to their site), lots of rainbow color, so happy, fabulous photos-always, lots of fun things to do and share with family, sharing life as a Mom with/for other Moms—and the list goes on. Keep up the excellent work Meg! I know it’s tough working on a blog daily. Just remember there’s a bunch of us out here in blogland reading daily–even though we don’t comment every day. Hugs–Duchess
