Six

This week, the Princess turns 6. I can't believe it!

To fend off the tears, I am going to be keeping myself very busy.

So if you don't hear much from me, don't take it personally.

On the other hand I could dive into the blog and post 6 times a day and avoid reality altogether.

Luckily, I have a couple of things I whipped up....

This week, I will be attempting to make these:

I am following Bridget's instructions to the letter because although I had resigned myself to having a local baker make the cookies, I had not counted on them not having a horse cookie cutter. 

And this is the horse she wants. So, I have to get it for her. Duh!

We are putting a number 6 on the saddle blankets to represent her new age. Cute, huh?

So, in the kitchen I will be. Wish me luck. If I melt down, we will be calling the baker and pleading with her. Let's hope I don't have to go there. It's not pretty.

In other news, I have had at least 6 people ask me how to leave comments and another 6 who did leave comments, which I wanted to discuss with them, but their profiles were not linked to their email.

So I am giving a little lesson.

For these instructions, you need to be reading this on my blog and not on a reader. 

So, you are here. See the Orange B (Blogger Symbol) in the top left hand corner? Click that puppy.

This will take you to your "dashboard", which is a cool way to say "info. page".

This may be the worst screen shot ever, but bear with me.

In the left-hand column (I circled it in red) there are some choices:

View Profile

Edit Profile

Edit Photo

Edit Notifications

Click on Edit Profile

Under the heading Identity, you will see and option to enter an email address. Do it!

If you look up in the section right above that, there is an option to Show Email Address. 

You can click it or not. 

Now here's a really important part. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the page... waaaay down to the bottom. Click Save Profile. Do NOT skip that step!

PS. there is also a place in there where you can upload a picture if you like. I'll leave that one to you.

;)

whew!

One question answered.

Now in order to leave a comment, go to my page, read the post. 

At the end of my post you will see You might also like: and some pictures. 

Just after that is the share button.

Then this:

Click on the word Comments

On some blogs, that will bring up a pop-up window, which I love. Right now, mine just take you to the place where you can leave a comment (in the little box). But if I change that, don't panic.

Speaking of changes to the blog, I am getting the re-design itch again, so stay tuned, I have at least 6 new ideas swimming around in my head.

And lastly, here's a picture of me 6 years ago:

Oh Lordy!

Let me just say that baby was a little bigger than 6 pounds! 

okay a lot, but I am putting it behind me.
