New AAP Safety Guidlines – Bubble Wrap Your Kids Till Age 26
Is this really what we’ve come to? Just about! Today the AAP came out with their new and improved car seat guidelines. Now, they are telling us that we have to keep our kids in a REAR facing car seat until they are 2 years old. And your child must be in a car seat or booster seat until they are 100 lbs or 12 years old. And no one under the age of 13 should be in the front seat. Ummm.. yeah, that’s all going to go over REALLY well with Junior High school kids!

I love blogging… really I love writing. I always have. I wanted to be a journalist for a short time, until I realized that it was almost as difficult to get published as it was to get into the movies. That’s when I decided that I’d just write for fun. When I realized that I could publish my own works on my own website, it was fantastic! But few, if anyone, ever saw my websites. That is until I learned to blog and how to get my blog seen online.

I’ve been trying to get him to write down his stories and ideas for the longest time. Partially because I’m his mom/teacher and I know he’s got to “do the work” behind writing, but also because I’m a big fan… Continue reading
Wanted: 1 Magic Wand
Wanted: 1 Magic Wand (Used is fine as long as it still works), batteries not included ok. Must pack entire household with a flip of the wrist, and move stuff from old house to new house and office with out the need for a rental truck. Or at the very least will move all the heavy stuff from the house into the rental truck.. I’m not THAT picky! Serious enqueries only. Willing to pay a lot of money for wand, but still would like to pay no more than what it would cost to do the stuff myself . Will also take magic wand that will make my teen sons stop whineing about needing to pack and move, and put a happy face on when I ask them to do things…. LOL! Yea I know I’m dreaming about a wand that will make teenagers helpful!
Failure IS An Option! Failing In February.
I’ve been doing some life coaching through Life Compass, which gives me 2 coaching calls a month. My coach is Randee Krumwiede, and she is really great. This month we are working through Failure. Using Failure as the foundation to success. Because without failure you can not know success. I was going to write about this earlier today because the topic really hit home for me, but I kept putting it off. Not because we were busy with work, though we were in the morning. No I didn’t write about it because it was a scary topic for me…. I was failing!
365 Days of Thank Yous – Double Post
This weekend was a nice one. I got to see one of my best friends and her new little baby, got to spend some “quality” time with Steve, and even got to meet one of my long time customers face to face. There’s so many people I have to say thank you to, I don’t know where to start! Since I didn’t post yesterday, I figured I’d do a double helping of thanks though! Maybe more.
365 Thank You
Last night we had a bad experience at a hotel we had reservations in. Thats not important to this post though. Whatw important is the girl at the desk this morning refunded all our money without us even asking for… Continue reading
Thank You!
The other day we received in the mail a wonderful Thank You note from Steve’s sister. She was thanking us for the gifts we sent them for Christmas. Along with her note was another note from her eldest step-daughter, thanking us for her gift as well. It was so sweet. Steve’s mom also sent us a thank you card, thanking us for the gifts and the time she spent with us over the holidays.
Thankful Thursday – Winter Weather
Yes, I know it’s a strange thing to be thankful for but I am! Mostly because I live in Las Vegas where the summer’s are normally 110 + and the nights don’t cool down much at all. So to have these wonderfully cold winters is what makes it bareable during the summer heat. I can just remember how my toes were always cold, even in my nice thick warm boot slippers. I can think about how every time I stepped outside I had to wear gloves. How nice it felt to snuggle up next to my sweetheart at night without sweating! LOL!
