Tweak Today: This isn’t a particular post, but a site that I thought has a neat concept. It gives different missions each day that you can share your experience on the site. It’s great for us voyeurs of other people’s lives. For examples today’s was to “Record your trip to your mailbox and show us what you received.”
Here’s my pictures and details, if I were to post for today’s mission on the site:
I received in the mail today….
- The Oliver’s rockin’ birth announcement for Baby Peter
- The Magic House wants us to renew our membership (which we were given in the first place)
- The Missouri Conservationist magazine
- An EOB from Blue Cross – what a waste of paper
Practical Ways to Help Three Year Old Children at Home – Daily Montessori: I need the MOST encouragement currently with Henry my 2 1/2 year old. This list was a good reminder for me where Henry is at right now. He’s not the baby and he’s not the big kid – so I think I get a little lost with him. Plus, I’m a Montessori kid myself and appreciate their philosophy.
The Go To Bag – The Creative Mama: This post motivated me to clean my car and stock with some essentials – which I never have on me. I NEVER have things I need when I need them. I have a hard enough time getting the kids into the car, forget remembering stuff we may need. I’m always asking for stuff. One time I was at the zoo when JJ was 2 years old, possibly the hottest day of the year, and forgot sunscreen. It wasn’t until I was trapped in the River’s Edge (you know what I mean), and realized that my fair skinned babe was going to fry. I borrowed some from a stranger, who was 10 years younger than me, but had more common sense than I.
Sweet Love Affair Part 2 – amoroloy: This is what John and I wanted to do for OUR wedding – a carnival theme with Ferris wheel and all. It was $10K outside of our budget that we were paying for ourselves. But we had big plans, alot of which were included in the above post. Except for the fish game – so great. And the turquoise bridesmaid dresses – I wouldn’t have done that to you sisters. After finally deciding that we couldn’t afford the carny wedding, we did vow to do it for our 25th anniversary…can’t wait!
