Ok...I'm obsessed with the Chilean miners being rescued. I can't quit watching CNN! My kids and I have piled our work (and toys) around the TV so we don't miss a rescue. How happy I am for these men and their families. And how much do I love "Super Mario"? To celebrate the rescue we are having chili tonight for dinner. What does chili have to do with Chilean miners? Nothing but Chile and chili are pronounced the same (if you talk like me) so there's my connection. (I don't need much of an excuse ... View the Post
Pep..what is it?
My friend recently asked me what I was supposed to be doing for the ambition facet. Well, it's hard to define but here's a few of Ms. Hoole's kernels of knowledge on the subject:"Someone once said, "Persistence-Energy-Power" and coined the word "PEP"." (I'm not so sure about this...I checked the dictionary and Webster defines pep as energy or vigor...but whatever.)"It is interesting to note as you observe ambitious people that the more one does, the more he is able to do because ENERGY GROWS ...

I got Simon dressed, fed, and ready for school, and then proceeded out side to clean out the mini van while waiting for his car pool to arrive.We waited and waited and I cleaned and cleaned and then at 9:12 (school starts at 9:15) I realize ...

$5 Friday….except it’s a $1.00 Friday for me!
My five-year-old is a dress girl. And that means everyday. I made her wear jeans today because #1 it was PE day and #2 because it was cold and wet and icky this morning. You would have thought that I put her in a torture chamber. Tears, tears, and more tears. So, I think we are back to skirts and dresses.

$5 Friday…Halloween Apothecary Jars
Today I'm posting one of my favorite (and cheapest) Halloween decorations---My Halloween Apothecary Jars. I have quite a collection of these fun little glass jars that I've gathered from various thrift stores over the years. (None of them have cost more than $1.) And while I think that their original purpose is for housing candy I only use them for Halloween.So, I bought the jars and then attached some scrap book stickers that I already had to the front. (Most of them say things like "magical", ... View the Post
