A sad story

One more post for today...
A sad story but is a good reminder. A little girl, one month younger than Sophie,got out of her house while her dad and siblings were home with her and ended up in an inflatable pool. They have no idea how long she was in the pool, but she is in critical condition. They think she got out the doggy door. It is a good reminder that we think our kids are safer than they are and little things can make them unsafe. Keep that in mind as we pull out the pools and leave them up. You can not be too careful!

Spam

Not the canned meat either! This week my husband received an email from an Arbonne representative, and it was not me. Someone got his email because he purchased a gift a few months ago from a company and she is an Arbonne rep at some point. So she is using her email list to send unsolicited emails to all of her customers from her other business for Arbonne. It is pretty funny that she came across someone that already has their own Arbonne rep- HIS WIFE! How many emails a day do you get an email from someone that you don't know? I typically get up to 100 from crazy people that somehow legally got my name from some advertisement or a company from which I requested info, but to get an email from a real person that somehow got your email... it is just wrong. In all business, we should strive to do things ethically and not blast emails to anyone in our address book! Then she had the nerve to tell me I would discolor the name of Arbonne by being annoyed she was sending emails to my husband! You wonder how some people sleep through the night!
I am done with my rant! An example of how NOT to do business.

Sick babies

My baby is sick today. She started with a low fever. She was not even acting sick and I thought it was just a fever and would go away, even though my niece was sick earlier this week and we did spend Easter together. So I went to church tonight to work on VBS painting and my husband calls because she started throwing up. He held her over the kitchen sink and the bathroom sink! I came home and that was it. She is still leechy and warm, but she went to sleep fine. Nothing is worse than your baby being sick. Maybe it will go by fast....

My little girl slept in her big girl bed

Last night, my daughter threw a fit until she was able to get into her big girl bed. My son was in his real bed when he was 18 months and did not start getting out of it at night until he was 2 1/2. She has not ever tried climbing out of her crib so we have left her in there. It seems that she has had other ideas. We combined the kids together a few weeks ago and made a playroom with the other room. My sister gave me bunk beds, so she has seen the two beds in there. I guess she decided it was time. She has always been a child that needs her bed to sleep (going away is a nightmare!) so she had about 30 minutes of wiggling but then she feel asleep, slept all night, and did not even fall out! Now when the novelty wears off, we shall see. I will be thankful to take the crib out of the room since I have had a crib in my house for four years now! Her birthday is in May and she will be 2. I guess it is about time.

My Cute Kids

I just have to brag, don't they look so cute in their Easter outfits! What else can I say?

Mother's Day is coming soon....

Are you looking for the perfect gift to remind your husband that you want or one to give to your mother or mother-in-law? What is better than a day at the spa. Most women would love a day at the spa, but would never spend the money on themselves. As mom's, we tend to look at other's first. But a day at the spa would be a perfect Mother's Day gift because it is a day away, alone, and a day of pure bliss. A few years back (before children), my mom and I went to a spa for half a day of treatments! What a wonderful day and a wonderful time with my mother. Now I need to get back to that. If you don't know a spa near your mother or you are like me and would have to travel, Spa Finder is a great resource. You can buy a gift certificate in various denominations (maybe combine with some siblings!) and the recipient can choose where to go.

If you can't afford the spa day, Arbonne has some great products for gifts. Check out my website for the catalog.
