At 8:30 pm tonight my family & I will be turning off all the electricity in our house for approximately one hour. Why you may ask? To vote earth of course! It's our small party in deciding we want to help save earth and to do something positive against global warming.

Last year it wasn't well known but this year it's HUGE. The word has spread and we can all help to make a difference. You can take pictures of the event and upload it to the Earth Hour flickr group, make a video and upload it to youtube, write a live blog post or if you have a twitter update your twitter and write #earthhour or #voteearth and your #location in your update to tag it.

Last year we played monopoly by candlelight which is prolly what we'll do again today. It's a chance to unplug, reconnect & make a difference.

I'm really excited about this movie! I loved the book as a child & I still love it as an adult. Check out the trailer!!

Where the wild things are.

The other day we had opened the windows & of course Beethoven got into them immediately because they're his favorite space in the whole house during the summer. He's so cute when he lays half on the bed and half in the window sill checking out everything that's going on outside. I decided to try and take some pictures of him in the window & I couldn't get any of just him so here's what came of it.

So I've decided to blog only on my other blog here, instead of both. It's a hassle and I just don't feel like dealing with it. It's been pretty crazy around here however I don't want to delete my vox. I love my neighborhood too much to do that. So I'll still be around commenting etc but I'll update the other blog :) xoxo
