Friday March 13th is my wedding anniversary.... I asked DH what he wanted and he told me I didn't have to get anything for him this year since I out did myself last year... So, instead all I have to do is tell him what I would have gotten him... Which I can't post yet since he does read this....
Thus, I have decided that someone should get a little something from me; so I'm having a giveaway... AHH I see I have your attention now... Just what could I be giving away and what do you have to do to get it.....
Well, I just so happen to have a fifty dollar Target gift card that is ready to be spent... The catch is you need to help me out a little... See it has been a long time since I had a blog... My last blog was before blogging was so popular and thus things have changed in the blogging world...
So, my readers look around and tell me what you think.... Give me advice on what things you would like to see... or what you think I should change.... Should I post more pictures? Do reviews? Change the layout? Font? etc... Anything that you think would be interesting to read or look at just let me know... That's all... A few minutes of your time and one of you will be filling up your Target cart with fifty dollars of goodies....
How to Enter:
1. Look around the site and then post a comment with advice on what to add, change, what you want to see, etc... (please remember to post an email address if you don't have a blog or if your profile doesn't show it)
Additional Entries (after you complete the first mandatory entry)
2. Wish us a Happy Anniversary
3. Follow the Wee Shenanigans blog
4. Blog about the giveaway and link back to this post and leave the URL to your post in the comment. (I would love all the extra advice I can get)
That's a possible four entries to win a Fifty Dollar Target GC.... You don't have to do all four and you don't have to have a blog to win...
This giveaway will end March 17th at 11:59 PM EST. Winner will be chosen at random...
I will email the winner and post their name on the site.. If the winner does not contact me within two days I will pick another winner...
Happy Anniversary! :)
ReplyDeleteI like your site the colors are easy on the eyes. I think some reviews would be nice and a few more pictures to liven it up.

ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary!! Here's to many more years together! utgal2004[at]yahoo[dot]com

ReplyDeleteI also agree with brighter colors and more photos. Your header photo is cute and eyecatching!
ReplyDeletefirstrosegrrl@Yahoo.com
Happy Anniversary and many more to you!
ReplyDeleteYou seem to want an Irish theme for your blog, so I would suggest looking up a variety of Irish pictures that may inspire you to use a different design. Of course, make sure things don't clash. You want the design to flow and be easy on the eyes. Good luck with your blog!

So far it is nice and clean as blogs go, but what I am missing is what your focus will be....family? relationships? I am not sure with how it exists now. Otherwise I like the layout, the font, and the background.

ReplyDeletedont change the pictures!!!
ReplyDeleteDon't change the design - it's easy on the eyes. I can't stand trying to read a cluttered blog with lots of flashing stuff and a tiny typeface on a dark background!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary!
spice up the color please your good but this would be more appealing mverno@roadrunner.com
ReplyDeleteI really like your site. 2 things that stand out-the load time is really fast. Some blogs have so much information that it takes minutes to load. Second, I really like the about you in the top right, it's good to have some information about your background.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance!

I like that its easy to use and the layout is great.
ReplyDeleteI love the inmate shirt on the top of your page! thanks for the giveaway :)
ReplyDeleteWhile color is great, less busy is more inviting and less nauseating. I think giveaways are a GREAT start. More about you and your interests and review of products, discussion of things that matter to you or your readers and generally more places where WE can interact with YOU and your bloggers. It's a great start thought, thanks for the contest!
ReplyDeleteI could not find any post about your experience training dolphins, I think that would be a interesting post. con5459(at)gmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteI like that your blog isn't overwhelming. It's easy to read without getting distracted by something on the side.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteI like the photos. Very creative.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteI am a follower.
ReplyDeleteI actually love your site- easy to read, not cluttered..just be yourself- i like blogs that are real and not just about selling something to me- yes i read reviews but not everything is always perfect
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary....my husband and I celebrated the end of last month and I made a lobster adventure out of it but it was fun

More pics, I love them.
ReplyDeleteI like the background, it is subtle and the colors are easy to read the content in.
ReplyDeleteI really love the pictures of your kids and the dog, they are cute and lite hearted. Nice colors, soothing with no blaring ads. I think in these tough economic times some tips on saving money, reviews on new things you've tried (thus saving us money if theyre not that great, etc) would be helpful. Bargain basement leads would be cool too. Thanks for the sweet giveaway!
ReplyDeleteGreenhome says, more pictures. The header picture is delightful!

ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! I like your site as it is easy to look around but I think that you need more color as it needs something to draw more attention to the eyes.Thanks for the chance to win!

Overall I really enjoyed viewing your blog. The colors are warm, and you have a good writing style. Can't wait to see more postings.
ReplyDeleteIf I had to nitpick, then I would say that the main banner/header picture is a little too big for my tastes.

ReplyDeleteI love the picture at the top, I like the background, also, but I would change either the color of the text or the font of the text. And I say the more pictures the better. I would only do reviews if you want to, but I rarely read reviews.
ReplyDeleteI would like to say MORE PICTURES. Kids are always great to see. happy anniversary!

Happy anniversary! I liked checking out your blog ... As far as changes, the ONLY (petty) complaint I have is that I'm not a big fan of brown! So I would change up the coloring. But that's just me personally :) Love the photos and stories.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! Your blog doesn't slow my computer down like others do. So stay away from adding a million buttons to your blog and you'll be fine. A few more personal pictures would help brighten up your site, but other than that its just fine!
ReplyDeleteNice blog! I would say, since you seem to have an Irish theme, maybe add a few more Irish related pics, like a small leprechaun.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I would change much - I like SIMPLE blogs, some people have SO much stuff its hard to read and hurts my eyes --- so I would keep it simple!
ReplyDeleteautumn398 (at) yahoo.com
happy anniversary!!
ReplyDeleteautumn398 (at) yahoo.com
I would color code your headlines - if you plan to add reviews and such make them a different color so that when people are browsing your site they can figure out what would catch their interest. Also, I think your font could be a bit hard to read. I would stick with a standard font.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteYou need a subscribe by e-mail subscription box for us non-bloggers.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary and many more.
ReplyDeleteI'd suggest changing the layout theme and especially that big pic at the top. The kid may be cute, but the dog in a muzzle doesn't do much for me. I hope this is taken constructively... By the way, I do realize my own blog completely sucks. lol.
ReplyDeleteMake your header smaller.
ReplyDeleteiamtinairock at yahoo dot com
I like your site - you are using nice soft colors. Like others have said 'easy on the eyes'.
ReplyDeleteSweet giveaway. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI would like to see a little larger font. Thanks for asking.

laurelei_farley@live.com
I'm still trying to figure blogs out myself, so I'm not much help, maybe recipes?
ReplyDeleteI think some different colors, both in background and in the font. Honestly, it currently looks a bit drab. Play around with some of the formatting that google has for blogs, the brown striped look on the side, just reminds me of a google blog!
ReplyDeleteGood luck!

The photographs are adorable. You have a good eye. Thanks for the great giveaway.

ReplyDeleteWordless Wednesday is such a great idea. Maybe for the other "worded" ones a small related blurb or quote for the casual passerby?

ReplyDeleteThe site is fine & easy on the eye. Happy Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteThe fonts and the colors make it very easy on the eyes. Some people like to be dramatic and then it's too annoying to read it. Just leave it as uncluttered as possible to get your point across.

I would like to see pictures of the dogs and your family in the side bar, kind of like mom 2 my six pack has on her site.
ReplyDeletejennifer.lleras@gmail.com
I like your blog but maybe it's time for a new look. My blog has the standard template and I am dying to get a custom one. Brighter colors or pictures might look really good.
ReplyDeleteI like the colors and number of photos that you have now. Too many graphics and photos make for slow loading pages on some other blogs. Happy Anniversary!
ReplyDeletei adore your site, more photos would be delightful, also with your background, memories of your animals that you know so well would be welcome and refreshing articles....love the animal population of our planet!! How about a question and answer site? Did you ever work with the Killer Whales? Many good wishes to you, may your kindness and patience follow you always....
ReplyDeletepumpkinlady430@yahoo.com
Like the banner and colors- but think the font should be bolder
ReplyDeleteHb5573@aol.com
I think your font is a little hard to read.
ReplyDeleteI think a few more pictures would be nice and maybe adding a brighter color since the background is dark brown and the beige.
ReplyDeleteI like the color combination--it is easy to read and doesn't glare. I suspect you will end up with more items on the side bars, but please don't get too cluttered. Many blogs have so many buttons, etc on the side that you can get dizzy looking at them! Pictures are always nice, but I find that I like the ones that are imbedded in a post better than lots of them scattered on the main page. Good luck with your new blogging endeavor.
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary and many more of them.
ReplyDeleteI like the "Wordless Wednesdays" your photographs are great. Maybe a theme for other days too?
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! How long have you been married?

ReplyDeleteBeing new to the blogging world, I easily get lost, but EASY CLICK buttons, can get me to follow.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your writing style, and looking around on your blog.
One thing I noticed on some blogs, is individuals are posting new stories,photos every day! Regular followers, do not always have time everyday to keep up!
I think the quality of content, added a few times a month( possibly weekly) keeps followers entertained, without it being a burden to a The Blogger, to keep producing New Stuff.
Good Luck, and have Fun!
