Wasically Wabbits

Cottontail Rabbits roam in our neighborhood and there's a lot of them. They're quiet cute until they eat all your landscaping and dig holes in your backyard for their babies. Back in May I noticed one rabbit just hanging out in our yard a lot, so finally I went to check out the patch of dead grass with a little burrow. To my surprise were these tiny little bunnies and I grew attached to them fairly quickly. After some research, I learned that the mama bunny only comes once a day to feed them and won't reject them after human contact. I found another nest in June and I was extremely ecstatic because I missed the bunnies from the first nest. Total bunnies found = 8.

 It's not every day you find tiny cuteness in your yard.

Among the Millions

EEEKS!! My first blog post! 

So I've wanted to start a blog for as long as I can remember.  So what was holding me back? Myself. I love browsing through all the pretty DIY, food and financial blogs out there on the World Wide Web and thought I would love to be part of that. I just never did it because I was lazy and was scared of all the hard work that would come from blogging.

This all changed when I realized that I was turning 29 this year. I decided to start not one but two blogs, one for whatever is on my mind and one to document the Twenty-Nine Challenges for my 29th year. In preparation of starting my "whatever is on my mind" blog, I started reading up on tips and "how to's" about blogging. I must say it's quite over whelming and it does take A LOT of work to make your blog look pretty. Kudos to all bloggers out there! As I take my first steps into the world of blogging, I will have lots to learn and lots of trial and error. Wish me luck on this journey.

Below are a few sites that I've been browsing to get tips and how to's: (list will be updated from time to time)
