<br />
<b>What is the biggest risk you've taken in your life? </b><br />
<b><br /></b><br />
<b>OR </b><br />

<b>Are you a risk-taker, or do you prefer to play it safe?

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We're going to mix things up a little this week for our Not Mommy Hop. If you link up, we'd like you to answer the following question:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><br />
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">If you were sentenced to be executed tomorrow, what would your last meal be?</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I'm on a diet, so food is kind of on the brain at the moment. Feel free to include a food porn picture as well. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">With all the controversy stirring over the Time magazine "Are You Mom Enough?" cover, I'm feeling for my Mommy sisters out there and wondering why everything has to be a competition. We all make our choices in life regarding various issues; when did we have to start making the same choices as everyone else? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Anyway, let's get away from the controversy, shall we, and have a nice Not Mommy Hop!</span><br />

So sorry that this is late going up today. The yard sale we're having tomorrow is slowly taking over my life. I'll tell you right now all this preparation better be worth it. UGH!
Anyway, I hope everyone is having a good Friday.
Let's review our "rules":
1) Don't forget to grab the button and add it to your post or sidebar. This is the way we spread the word about our little community, so help us out and grab it!
2) Link up the blog post of the week that you are most proud of. Remember it can be about anything!
3) Visit as many of your fellow hoppers as possible. Do not "hit and run" comment on any blogs. There's none of that "I'll follow you if you follow me" mess in this community; we're all about making real connections. If you like a post, leave a thoughtful comment and tell the blogger where you came from. If you don't like the post, move along, my friends.
4) The hop is open ALL WEEKEND, so be sure to keep checking back for more great posts and people!
5) When you linkup, please use the name of your blog post instead of the name of your blog. Remember we're linking up specific posts.

<br />
<br />
Sorry that I have been MIA lately. It's been a busy couple of weeks...to say the least. I promise to get back in the swing of things soon, though, and give Not Mommy Blogs the attention it deserves. In the meantime, shall we hop?

Thanks for coming out and participating, guys; we really appreciate you!</span><br />
<br>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Here are our hop "rules":</span><br />
<br>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">1) Don't forget to grab the button and add it to your post or sidebar. This is the way we spread the word about our little community, so help us out and grab it!</span></span><br />
<br>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px;">2) Link up the blog post of the week that you are most proud of. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px;">3) Visit as many of your fellow hoppers as possible. Do not "hit and run" comment on any blogs. There's none of that "I'll follow you if you follow me" mess in this community; we're all about making real connections. If you like a post, leave a thoughtful comment and tell the blogger where you came from. If you don't like the post, move along, my friends.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px;">4) The hop is open ALL WEEKEND, so be sure to keep checking back for more great posts and people!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px;">5) When you linkup, please use the name of your blog post instead of the name of your blog. Remember we're linking up specific posts. </span> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>Happy Hopping!
