A SNEAKY CHILD

I want name any names, but one of our kids doesn't like to put things in their place. Do you see this little toy? I found it behind the toilet. This particular child also has hid socks behind a book bag and gloves behind the trashcan. I am not sure how to instill in the child how important it is to put things in its place. What makes it worse is that I think it's funny.

Madison turns NINE!!!

August 17 was a great day around here. Madison turned 9! She baked and decorated her own cake (except for the writing) and the kids ate on it for 3 days. She sure has come a long way and I can't believe she is in 4th grade! WOW, time flies.

We didn't have birthday candles, so partylite came through for us in a bind!
These are the beautiful flowers she got from her daddy. The girls get flowers every year and LOVE IT!

ALONG CAME A SPIDER

Ok, this thing was hanging out on our cherry tomatoes for a few days. I tried to look it up on the internet to see what kind of spider it was, but I couldn't figure it out, anyone know?

HOMESCHOOLERS

Just a reminder, don't forget to sign up for Pizza Hut's book it program. I did a couple of days ago. I think I will get my packet within a month.

CVS Deals

Lots of free school items at CVS with ECBs through tomorrow. If they don't have it, you can get a rain check for them but make sure they put what sale and what ECBs you are to receive. I went right after church yesterday and was able to snag most all the freebies except the notebooks and post it notes.

WHO LIKES FREE BOOKS????

I like free books that's who. I have started a new adventure in my life. I have become a consultant for Usborne books. I have loved their books for years. They have books for newborns up to teens. Most adults like to read their books also. I am really excited to be able to do this because I am passionate about children learning. A few years ago, I worked for the school district's literacy program and fell in love with helping kids love books.

Usborne is offering an awesome special right now. You can sign up to be a consultant for only $15.00 plus tax (NO SHIPPING). You get 10 great books and supplies. All you have to do is sell $100.00 in twelve weeks. It would be so easy to do if you have just a few friends to buy from the catalog.

I'm also trying to make it to another level by Sept. 3. I need a couple of good parties. If you hold a party I will give you a free book. If your sales hit $300.00 I'll throw in free shipping. These books are great for young kids, older kids, teachers, anyone that works with children. Check out my website to the right of the blog and see for yourself. Thanks for looking!

ANOTHER NEW BLOG

I can't seem to find the time to post the deals in a timely manner, so if you will go HERE this blog lists many school items at several stores. Publix is listed also. The only store that I use often that's not on it is BiLo, so if I see anything that I really think is a great deal I will post it.
