Ruby Tuesday




                            


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)



Sunday Rewind

 Yesterday morning I was conviced that I was not getting sick and it was only my allergies that were bothering. My girlfriend over at http://busymommabee.blogspot.com/ was having her first drop by and shop over at her home and I had to show my support for her and another friend over at  http://reesspace.blogspot.com/ by the end of the evening I became aware that this was no A L L E R GY it surely was me getting sick. 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.
