Blog Dare: 156

Today's Prompt: The most used room in our home...

The easy answer would be our living room, as that is where the kids play while inside. Although, I think the bathroom might be the most used room in the house, as someone is always in it. Its where I curl my hair, and apply my makeup. The bathroom sink is where my husband does all of his at home crew cuts. The kids are always in there especially since it has been a major source of activity lately. Since, Ryan is potty training, it seems like we are spending most of the day in there, either clapping and cheering for small success, or in there cleaning up little accidents. The bathroom is the only place where the 2 of us can "hide," as there is a lock on the door. Okay, maybe just my husband...one of the kids is always knocking on the door as soon as I get in there. The kids recently discovered that the bathroom holds many treasures, and have started exploring the bathroom. I cant tell you how many times I have found Ryan near the toilet, grinning ear to ear, all while holding the toilet plunger. (Ewww, just the idea gives me the willies!) Its funny how much time you really spend in the bathroom if you really give it some thought.

The bathroom was the one place I knew I could talk to my mom in the mornings before school. These conversations would take place in the mornings when she curled her hair while getting ready for work. The conversations were never long, but I came to really value this time with my mom. The bathroom also became a place, where I would leave little love notes on the mirror, for my mom to find. It was a special place for us, and as strange as that might seem to someone else, I know it meant girl time, and made me closer to my mom during my teen years.

What is your most used room in the house? Does you family seem to live in the bathroom, like ours?

Congratulations to Kellie W .,  as she was selected as the winner of the giveaway for the  New Trent iCarrier Heavy Duty Dual Port Charger! It is that time again! Conference season, is here and I know many Bloggers are heading to conferences to network, connect with brands, and to see those that they correspond with on Social Media! I was amazed and overwhelmed at the amount of "stuff," one can drag with them to a conference. As I packed my bag for a local two day conference,  I could not help but count the number of gadgets and cords that I would be hauling with me.  It wasn't until lunch time, that I gave any thought to the fact that there weren't any outlets available to charge all of my devices that I used throughout the day to connect to Social Media! As I looked around there were hundreds of bloggers and business people, all with the same concern. How on earth would I save my dying Smart Phone? I looked at the wall behind me and there was a line of d
