This year’s Ultimate Blog Party is brought to you by:
Mom Bloggers (and Dad Bloggers too!) post a photo on your site, link up and find others… Wordless Wednesday is tons of fun. (And I know it says “wordless” but I just can’t bear to not write anything! If I had created it, I probably would have named it something different! LOL So feel to link up your word-full or word-less Wednesday photos!)
Leave the URL to your photo (clearly mine are never truly “wordless”) and then visit others!
Did you know that the beautiful new Cottonelle roll covers by Jonathan Adler can be used for more than just a toilet paper roll cover? The fashion consultant, Vivian St. Claire says “First and foremost, of course, they should be used to respect the care-worthy rolls of Cottonelle Clean Care Toilet Paper,”. But if you have multiples of a design, there are a few ways to use them to spruce up other areas of your home.
Here is a fun thumbnail linky:
And here is a basic linky if you prefer your linkies the good old fashioned way!
Thanks to Uisce for creating Wordless Wednesday.

I don’t have a preteen in my house, but I teach 40 of them! They are soooo fun!
Jenny says
I do not look forward to those days xD But I’ll have but only one thing to say to my son what it does happen…
“get over it!”
Christy Scott says
Your tween is growing and he is cute. We can’t stop them to grow and soon they will go away from us. By the way, your son is handsome. Love it.
John says
Hello I am a college working on a team project and need input from parents through a survey we are conducting. We are creating a new product and we are targeting parents as primary customers. If you could fill out our survey it would be extremely helpful.

Oh my gosh, Janice! He looks so grown up there! That really is a great shot. I have one JUST like it with my oldest daughter. She was being SO difficult several years ago, and then she glared at me and I caught the best picture ever. It looks like she’s trying to be sexy, but she’s really just thinking, “Hey, Mom, will you lay off!!” lol
Here’s my pic of a moody tween (circa 2008): http://betterinbulk.net/2008/05/in-case-you-havent-heard-already.html (who is now a moody TEEN!)
Diana - Teacher Mom says
Oh, my! He is so handsome! Nope, no pre-teens in our home yet. A preschooler and a 6yo.
Rajean says
I love that he wanted a tie. That plus the angst, make it perfect.
Jennifer says
No preteens over in my home – yet. And I’m sooo grateful for it! 😉
Honey Mommy says
No tweens here! My oldest is 6 and I am SO not ready for that yet…. although I don’t know if I ever will be!
Julie {Angry Julie Monday} says
Well of course, he has angst….he is your kid, Janice…:)
Maya says
I don’t have a tween yet but my boys know how to pick the best moments to have the worst attitudes. 🙂
I really like the picture of Jackson. Sometimes pictures are much better without a smile.
Dagmar ~ Dagmar's momsense says
No tween yet, god help me 🙂
Paula Schuck says
Ah tween angst. He looks gorgeous anyways and will be a heartbreaker. I live your picture. My dd 10 has been a three headed monster for about four months now. I wrote about it a lot this week.

Angela says
He may be angsty, but he sure is handsome!
eryn says
This is a fantastic shot! I love his outfit, pose and his expression.
Emily says
I can only imagine the photos we’ll have to fight for when our daughter is older! Thanks for hosting!
Nancy says
Ditto! I love this shot ~ And luckily, PreTeen years don’t last long! 🙂 Happy WW!
another jennifer says
Great shot! Even if he isn’t overly happy. 🙂
Serendipity is Sweet says
I think that’s a great shot! My oldest will be 10 in 10 days. He’s already exhibiting the same behavior. So cool to watch the grow up, but so bittersweet.
Helen Spencer says
Do I ever! My eldest is 12. He turns on a dime from the Loveliest Boy in The World, full of “I love you Mom”s to vile, deranged and impossible.
Help us through this phase, please!
Susie's Homemade says
As a mom of a 21-year-old, I got news for you…you got at least a decade of that ahead of you:-(
Beth says
I do believe that my oldest is starting to feel this way. He does not want to get in photos as much and definitely shows his thoughts.
Holly says
This is a really nice shot, I agree, and at least his new clothes look great!
Run DMT says
Awwww….bless. My 10 yo is already acting like that. So NOT looking forward to that age. lol
Smellyann says
Yes, I can TOTALLY relate with my 10yo dd!!
Meg says
That is an EXCELLENT shot. I love it when you can capture exactly who they are at the age they are. Much better than a smiling posed picture for sure!!
Phoenix The Blogging Mama says
What a gorgeous photo of your son! I have 14yr old and an 11yr old so I understand your plight!
Jacqueline says
It all starts entirely too early! *sigh* He still looks pretty spiffy dressed up though. 🙂
Char says
What a great photo of him! He looks very trendy in his tie!!!
Gabriel says
I see your tween and raise you any of my three teenagers (Boy, 17; Girl, 15; Boy, 13).
Yes, three teenagers in the house. It’s such a blessing!
What? Me, crying? Oh, no, it must be an eyelash in my eye… 🙂
Amanda says
I think that is a great picture. I know tween boys hate to smile, but that is a classic picture and he looks so handsome!!
Rachel says
Great photo! The girls will be after him in a couple of years! 🙂
Tammi says
That is an awesome photo! Look out, I think you have a young man in your life!
