Thankfully Happy

 Thanksgiving was great we had family up for the holiday and they brought me plenty of laughter. If you know me I love to laugh and that is exactly what we did. We laughed so hard and I think I could have used a Depends lol. My family is what I am eternally greatful for. They keep me grounded and show me the love that every family should know.

No More Kisses???

It struck me this afternoon that Prince is a bit uncomfortable with extending a kiss in front of an audience. I need a box of tissues please. Today was his Harvest Festival in school and he couldn't wait for me to get there. I only know this because it has been the top of discussion. I get to school and settle in then bend down and ask for a kiss and right then he floored me. No mommy later. I took a step back and wanted to find the nearest hole. I'm not sure what happened becacuse a few minutes later he calls me and I bend down and he planted a huge wet one and then said I love you mommy. Please someone tell me what happend???? This is the boy who is mommy crazy and the most affectionate boy I have ever met. Just last night he was cuddled into me asking if I can be his girlfriend.

Frustrated with html

Do you ever feel like you want to bang your head against the wall? As I grow increasingly  frustrated that is what I am perhaps to do. These four red walls are looking mighty tempting. I am working on tabs for my blog and the html is doing me a disservice at the moment. I must regain full control but I ask that you please bear with me as this transition takes place.

Have a wonderful weekend as I will try to bear in mind that this is a work in progress and there sure is a light at the end of my tunnel. Hugs and smooches :O)

Happy Birtday Princess

Princess is celebrating her 10th birtday today. It's amazing how fast the years go by. As I close my eyes it's a quick flashback of the doctor handing my sweet little pea over to me. She had the cutest little curled in fingers with a large amount of black hair.
Hunky and I have enjoyed watching our baby girl grow. From turning over, crawling, walking, first falls, dance recitals and soccer games. Now today she is not only celebrating her 10th birthday but running for school council Vice President. That's right my little Princess has transformed into such a beautiful butterfly that is always ready to fly into some new adventure.


What a journey it has been. So happy birthday Princess mommy loves you and you Rock!!!

My neighbor has a little girl and she really enjoys her playhouse. Prince often goes over to realax on those RED chairs. 

My Button

Finally I have my own Button it's mine yippie di do da yippe di day. I thought this would never happen it took two long draining days for this to happen. My girlfriend over at http://www.busymama.blogspot.com/ and myself slaved over the html coding. I lost hope on Sunday and called it a rest since Hunky was commenting that he would love some side company :O). Monday came along Hunky spent the day home with me and I spent the day dating HTML. After battling hours it was up but not correctly it now time for dinner and a break. While soaking in the suds a text message came through, "The Button Is Up and Working". My buddy Sandra over at http://www.busymama.blogspot.com/ figured it out. So please share in my joy while I sip a bit of my tea and blog. Here's to blogging.

Something Smells Rather Lovely

I just recently became an independent consultant for Scentsy. After receiving my products and using them I was impressed at safe and beautiful they are. These wickless candles melt not with fire but with a light bulb. I don't have to worry about fires anymore or my children getting burn. There are plenty of scents to choose from that will make your home smell good. We are not only limited to wickless candles there's a line of sprays and car fresheners as well.



What's even more amazing is that my husband even likes them and wants one for his office. So that should tell you something, since you don't find many men who like this type of thing. If you would like to know more information please contact me :O)

Like I have no better things to do with my time other then lay around in bed and let this yucky thing run it's course. Well at least I was able to show sister support. We woman rock sick or not.

Nurture Shock

NURTURE SHOCK when this book touched my hands I was excited because it was my first book that I would be reviewing. I have four children and happen to think I have and am raising my children well. This book would have made it an easier job if I had known about it early on. It happens to be a book that every breathing parent should read. You may ask yourself why? It’s a very simple answer because it’s about how we conduct ourselves. I took away not only how I want my children to behave in society but also how I can do a little bit of changing myself.



In ten chapters the authors were able to extend to us the knowledge of child development. How science fits in. They mentioned the difference between a young childs brain and an adult brain of 25. Here’s a quote, “We need to question why this idea of picking the smart children early even appeals to us. We set this system up to make sure natural talent is discovered and nurtured. Instead the system is failing majority of the kids, and a lot of natural talent is being screened out. I love this quote because it’s so apparent in parents as well as school officials. With out meaning any harm it’s done and this is where this book fits in for adults and how we to need to behave. And change certain things about ourselves. Let’s put ourselves back to when we were 9 and let this book “Nurture Shock” help us.


One more little eye opener do you remember when your mom told you as the phone rang and she didn’t want to speak with someone at that moment, “oh just tell them I’m lying down or in the shower”? Then a few moments or days later they were telling you how bad it is to lie or even stated, “Don’t you ever let me find out you are lying”. Well all they were teaching us was that it was ok to lie. Yes, we are the ones teaching our children how to lie. We the parents are the ones doing this. It’s time for a quick wake up call.


This book is going to shock you and in turn you will love it by the end. You will find ways to engage with your child/children and change a few things about yourself. So what are you waiting for? Head over to your local book store and grab a copy of Nurture Shock.


When I first started the book I said I didn’t like it but I kept on and only ended up loving it. I would recommend to all those who have children and those who don’t. I am being honest in telling you that you will find this book very informative.

Must be my lucky day

Yesterday afternoon I received my first book to review. At first I was a little perplexed to see that it was a book and a book that I hadn't purchased. It suddenly hit me that it was the book that I requested through one of the book review sites that I had recently joined.
The book delivered is  "Nurture Shock" written by Daniel H. Pink. My girlfriend over from www.mariaspace.blogspot let me in on that the book has been out for a while now. That's ok it sits well with me I'm just ready to get started put up my review.
After receiving the package I was then notified that I won a giveaway. Isn't that great news????? I was floored by all the news and couldn't keep it together. It may sound a little ridiculous but hold tight I'm still a newbie. A few minutes had lingered on and I thought to myself why not eat those hot wings to keep my mouth zipped from saying a word. However that didn't do the job because no sooner Princess' God mother calls and then the cats out the bag blurt blurt blurt. I felt so much better that I was able to share my good news lol and not have to wait to blog it.

Ok here goes that's wella meeeee.

Princess and Prince on 10/30/09

I love this picture because it just shows how frustrated my daughter was with me. I think this must have been picture 200 lol...Really I need to stop with all the snaps. Prince just loved having his pic taken.

What a Monday

I walked out this morning and wanted to just run right back in and head for my ohhhh sooo comfy bed. Some may think this weather is brisk for me in simply spells W I N T E R.
It's fastly approaching and although I love wearing the fashionable boots, mittens and the whole kitten kaboodle I could wait and put it on the backburner. I am in no way in a hurry for the red nose, chattering teeth, dripping noses and most of all I could hold off on hearing Hunky's voice sprint the words "Damn,I have to shovel again" lol. So truly and honestly Mother Nature if you can hear me please hold off a bit on winter.

Weekend In Review

Friday-
 I enjoyed the entertaining children at Prince's class party. From there I hit the school parade and once again the children looked adorable as they walked in their costumes. Afterwards my friends and I took the kids for pizza before heading out for some early Trick or Treating. May I add just how much I love my town.

Saturday-   
   My girlfriend through a Halloween party for the wee little ones and that was a blast. The kids raced to make a Scare Crow the end result were amazing.
Rain didn't hold this family back no Sir. not one tid bit. We rocked the town with some umbrellas and cool friends to do all the tricking and treating. We followed all that fun with some great chinesse food at my mommy's house. Only drawback to this was that Spider Monkey and My Charm had their own fiesta and didn't trail the town with us. :O(
Awww oh well it is what is. I have to give the room and not complain right now because they truly are awesome well respected teens/young ladies.

Prince and his buddy at the party

This is the crafty genes of some 5 year olds. Oh by the way this was the best idea ever so I will be stealing for next year.

Sunday-

  Had a great time at church stood up at the front of our congregation with my family and my good friend Sandra. Must add our pastor gives you the feeling that our church is home. Wait is homeeeeee :O)

Soccer was the ending to my weekend. My little Princes' team did not win the game but they busted their butts off.
