Don’t know what it is, but whenever my friend Gertrude takes my pictures, I’m always laughing in most of them. She is pretty funny. But it may be that I’m a little camera shy? I don’t know. Anyhow, here I am in all my giggling glory.

Oh, and this shirt! Isn’t it great? I tried it on in Chicago with Jill, but it was a size too big and a button was missing, so I passed on it. Well, a week later I had to go return something to Anthro and saw the same shirt in my size with all the buttons for $10 cheaper! Woohoo! So I bought it and I want to wear it every day! I love it! Ain’t it cute?

Oh, and by the way, when you read this, I’ll be on my way to vacation! Yea! I’ll still be posting, but I’ve got a couple of guest posts for you too! Yippee for vacation!

So, have you guys noticed that I’m posting in the mornings now? Are you OK with that? I just started realizing that I have 2 days (Thursdays and Fridays) a week where I post things in the morning and thought, why don’t I post first thing everyday? Then you can wake up, get your Rose à la Mode fix, and get on with your day. Whatdya think?

OK, and this weekend I went to that fabulous wedding that I told you about. I’m trying to wrap my head around what to show you guys, and I think I’m going to steal some photos from Gertrude cause hers are better. So, those are still to come. It was so beautiful. They even tied a knot instead of doing a unity candle. More on that to come later.

This Is A Long Post…But It’s About Something Cool!

OK people. I have something to promote. And I hope you know I’d never talk about something that I didn’t truly believe in. So, check it out. My husband just started a blog called Blogging Your Passion. It is a blog about blogging! Now, I don’t know how much you know already, but Bob has been a full-time blogger for the past 3 years and made it possible for me to work from home with him a little over a year ago. He’s really got a few things figured out.

So, to all the bloggers out there, if you’re looking to grow your site and make some moolah from it, you should check out his site. And, starting Thursday, May 12, he’s got a blogging webinar he’s doing every Thursday evening for 5 weeks. It’s $247, but I’ve got a $50 off coupon for you. Just enter “rosealamode” at the checkout.

I’m not just telling you about this because it’s my husband. I’m telling you about it, dear fellow bloggers, because I really think it is valuable information that you can benefit from. So, if you’re really interested in growing your site, go check out Blogging Your Passion and maybe look into this webinar thingy. 😉
