Freebee!?!

Got your attention with that picture, didn't I? :)

The first FIVE people to respond to this post will get something made by me!
My choice, for you.

This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:
1- I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!
2- What I create will be just for you.
3- It'll be done this year.
4- You have no clue what it's going to be.

Oh, the catch is that you must re-post this on your blog and offer to do the same for the first 5 people who respond to the post.
Sounds like fun, right?
So let's play!

Children and Sports.

Basketball is finally over. I was a stupid idiot and volunteered to coach TJ's team this year. It was the first time for him to play basketball and since most of the kids had had at least a year or two, some even 3, behind them, I decided it wouldn't be fair to ask "some guy" to teach my crazy kid how to play. Hence I was the coach. Now I didn't play school basketball but both of my sisters did so I know the game. I would say I know enough to be dangerous, in the stand. So basically in a recap of this season, I was lucky enough to have dad willing to do all the hard work. Wade coached the boys and taught them all they needed to know to be successful and I organized them by scheduling practices and so on. He is an amazing guy!! I don't know of any coach in the history of my playing that was so positive. I NEVER heard him say a negative thing to the boys. Even when he had to redirect TJ, ALOT, I never heard him grumble under his breath or make rude faces. He was amazing. Now TJ may never be able to play in the NBA but thanks to Wade he and the other team mates have a good understanding of the game.
Now most of you know that Riley is a athletic superstar in most all he does. And it is so fun to watch him cuz he has such good heart and is really good. I have always tried to be objective when it comes to my kids but frankly I'm tired of it. He is really good. He was able to practice and play with TJ's fifth grade team. He kept up with all those boys. So Saturday morning he played with the fifth graders and they play full court on a 10 ft basket and then later in the afternoon he played with his own 3rd grade team. It just amazes me how much development happens between 3rd and 5th grade. Third graders are all about themselves, how many baskets "they" can make, they very rarely pass to each other and then you have the refs, and that is a whole different story. These boys were totally wrestling on the floor for the ball. Sort of like football. Nichole was the coach and she too was great with the boys. They had 11 kids on their team and that makes teaching them really hard. But her and Kirk did great. So the season is over and next we have Baseball. Riley and Mason are the only ones that play so it makes for an exciting June. Riley will play in a more competitive league this year and it will be fun to see if the drive is there for him to succeed. Mason will be in T-Ball again in and is excited as long as Brooklyn will play with him.

It just makes Scents!!!!!

I'm so excited to announce that I'm starting to sell a great new product line from Urban Botanics. I'm having my Business Launch Party Saturday February 7th from 1-3pm. You are all invited to attend and bring a friend or two with you. It will be at my house. My wonderful cousin Natasha, introduced me to Urban Botanics a year or two ago and just a couple of months ago she started to sell it and showed me how great the company really is. It is so great!! I have always loved yummy smelly things and have always wanted to make my own perfume but since I wasn't famous or rich I couldn't. Well now I can. With Urban Botanics I am able to mix scents together to create my own signature smells for lotions, shower gel, bubble bath, perfume, and more. The great thing is so can you. All the products are cost efficient which was the selling point for me especially now. Check out the website for yourself, http://www.urbanbotanic.com/ Take the quiz and see which scents fit your personality best. Bring the results to the party and receive an extra gift. See you all there.

I sold my soul!!!

When my mom called me on Friday and asked if Lizzie would want to go to a cheer camp at Ririe, my first reaction was absolutely NOT. But when she expressed she would be gone for the whole day I said "YEAH". Even though it went against everything I stand for, I couldn't resist a whole day without 15 million questions. I love and adore my girl, but sometimes a break from the talking, there is just so much talking, is healthy. She had a blast and has not stopped talking about the whole experience, again with the talking. I'm so glad she went. Chris and I took all the kids to the game to watch her dance during Half-Time. I would tell you how brutal that was but I'm trying to be positive. It truly was exciting to see her dance. She is so cute. You can also see Brooklyn in the background. She is a natural. Enjoy.
