Coloring My Hair...Back...

2009-08-10T13:39:00.004-06:00

So a couple of months ago I decided to be adventurous and I got some highlights done in my hair. I thought it was fun, and I liked that it gave me a little bit of a summer flair.PROBLEM!Husband hated it. In fact, he pretended it was just the light hitting my hair "wrong".Now, don't be upset. To his credit his reasons for not liking it are flattering to me. He likes my natural color, and who can

Funeral Greeting Cards. My first time. And what a tought choice!

2009-08-06T14:27:00.008-06:00

My husband called me from work a few days ago and told me that his friend's dad had died that day and would I please send an appropriate greeting card. Of course I said I would. And then I forgot until today. I feel really bad about that. But I'm only three days late and I think he'll be okay with that.Okay, so here's what I did. Instead of running to the store with all three of my kids to search

Yesterday I took the whole day off to hang out with my kids.Now, when I say I took the whole day off I'm talking about business, housework, phone calls, everything. And it was GREAT!We got up and got ready for the day, did summer homework (gotta keep those skills up!) and then left right at 10:30am and ran to see Nana, and Aunt Cara, and then we ran over to the Living Aquarium on 106th South and

My Baby Has a Blistery Rash. Poor Kid. Here's What I Did.

2009-08-05T14:14:00.007-06:00

It's the worst kind of blistery diaper rash. So over the past few days my baby girl has had a lot of poopies and some of them even showed up in the middle of the night. The first one like that took her a couple of hours to complain about, so her bum was pretty red after that one and she was in a lot of pain when I went to use the wipes.After a couple of days of that kind of thing a couple of

Recognizing the Sound of Your Popcorn Popping.

2009-08-03T12:13:00.004-06:00

If you've looked at my business blog then you know that I'm a popcorn freak, and I love the analogy to learn and teach life lessons and the law of attraction to my children and business associates.Well, a couple of days ago I made popcorn again and it occurred to me that I've never written a post about the sound of popcorn popping. So here it is:Recognizing the Sound of Your Popcorn Popping.

Goin' Swimming with the Little Kids. Found some Great Tips.

2009-08-01T08:08:00.006-06:00

It's Saturday, and I want to take my kids swimming. But we don't do this very often. Almost never. But my babysitter's mom invited us to come to the pool in their neighborhood this summer and so we're going to take her up on it. (At least, I plan to ask if this is a good day to take her up on it.)So since my kids have been swimming in a real pool all of 2 times (on our vacation last week) and my

The Popcorn Story: How I taught my children to believe.

2009-07-31T19:48:00.004-06:00

(This is a story from my business blog where I have more popcorn stories related to helping people with their home business. I adapted it a little bit.)-------------------------------------- Around my house we have family night every Monday. My kids (now 6, 2,and 6 months) love it. We always have a fun activity. One particular night, I was in charge of the lesson and activity…and I forgot! I

Yesterday I got a call from my little brother's best friend in the world (who I also consider my friend) asking me if he could come over and practice his financial consultant presentation that he is getting very practiced at.So I said yes and I let him practice on my husband and I over dinner.We had Mexican Spaghetti...My Style.I like to keep my spaghetti sauce simple.

The Door to Door Salesman that You Can Actually Connect With.

2009-07-31T14:13:00.005-06:00

Out in the area where I live in Saratoga Springs, Utah I get a lot of door to door salespeople. It's usually really annoying.But today I got a knock on my door from someone who was so laid back, so...light in his eyes...he just really felt like a good guy. He didn't have something I need right now, but he was just so...not pushy...I just had to blog about him.His name is Brandon Bouck. His number

Long Distance Relationship Tips for Grandparents & Grandkids

2009-07-31T13:45:00.005-06:00

I found this fun blog post HERE today and I thought I'd share and add my own two cents at the bottom.--------------------------------My parents live 5000 miles away from my young daughter. Yet, the three of them act as though they have lived together all of their lives. They are like peas in a pod, despite the miles that separate them. People are always amazed that while they only see each other

Who's Sick of Being Sold to On Twitter & Facebook? My Official Apology.

2009-07-31T10:40:00.006-06:00

I'm so sick of being sold at on Twitter and Facebook!(And this is my official apology for the rut I was stuck in.)This is a tender subject, because I have a home business and even I got sucked in to the "all sell all the time" mentality. But it doesn't really work.Let me rephrase that: It does work, but I'm sick of the wrong approach to relationships in social media. It's just another way of

Snugglin' With My Babes...My Big Babes...

2009-07-31T08:02:00.006-06:00

This morning I woke up first. (That usually doesn't happen with my early riser kids.) I got up, wandered around a little bit, and then checked each child to see if everything was okay, because they never sleep longer than me. These are 7am kids and it was almost 7:30am.A couple of minutes later my baby woke up to eat, all chatty and smiles, then my 6 year old. Everyone wanted to snuggle. So we

Batman & Wonderwoman - My 6 & 2 Year Old Superheros.

2009-07-30T22:20:00.001-06:00

Today, while I made a couple of short videos for my home business, my two oldest children proceeded to make themselves busy thrashing the house by way of taking off the couch cushions to build a castle, and then proceeding to fill it up with every toy from their toy bins.I was okay with it. They had asked for permission - and let's face it, sometimes kids just need to be allowed to make a mess. (
