Have a wonderful Labor Day weekend!
It's true, you slacked on the baby book. Get over it and redeem yourself with a School Years Memory Book from Amazon. There are many from which to choose. The one I like is School Years: A Family Keepsake of School Memories. It is spiral-bound (read: preschooler cannot easily ruin binding), the price is phenomenal at only $11.53, and there are small pockets to store pictures from each year. I had one like this growing up. I still have it! It's fun to look back on it and think, "Oh yea, I remember that!" It's also fun to see my own handwriting. So, let that be a lesson to you parents - let your child fill in the blanks even if the penmanship is a bit horrendous!
Can you say Cabbage Patch Kids? Are you old enough to remember this craze? Moms were pushing and shoving and fighting other Moms to get their hands on these dolls for their own little girls.
10 Ways To Motivate Your Child To Learn.
I found this short article on msn.com.
Interesting, good reminders, and good tips.
Read on.
I love this image. Every time I see it, I smile and giggle. "I've arrived." Classic and so true. It's all about the baby.
I'm sure you need absolutely no introduction to the above image. It's everywhere. In Marketing 101 this company received an A+. But just in case you fall into the 2% of the population who hasn't seen this image, let me introduce you. It belongs to the genius minds at Tiny Prints - a must when ordering announcements, invitations, thank yous, and labels.
Recently, I received some cards from Tiny Prints. They are every bit as classy, fun, original and dynamic as the website claims.
It's time for my seasonal Johnny Boden post.

I love quotes. They can be clever, witty, sad, meaningful; and they can even inspire. I have a rock which reads simply, "Courage." But the box it came in reads, "Feel the fear and do it anyway." I love it!
Wonderful! Graffiti places all your favorite sayings, ideas, wishes, definitions, monograms, and expressions on a removable transfer. The words look as though you painted them on the wall. The transfer is made from a very thin piece of vinyl. I've seen it, you can't even tell it's vinyl.
There's an array of ideas to choose from, it might get a little overwhelming, in a good way. And you can create your own personalized graffiti. Be creative, let the juices flow. Use their ideas for inspiration.
Surprise your husband with this one in his closet or somewhere he will see it everyday. Even after a month if he doesn't "see" it anymore because he's so used to it, you can easily take it down and replace it with a new little message!
Someone needs to send this one to Obama since his campaign is based on the word Change.
If you love quotes, start here.
If you are a man reading this, do not, I repeat do not buy this one for the wifey.
If you have a daughter who has moved out on her own. Be sure to give her this. Subtle, I know.
All I can say is cool, cool, cool. I love this product. What an exceptional idea.

Watching the olympics is an amazing experience.
I'm baaaack! Honestly, I had all the intentions in the world to post while I was gone. I was up in Northern Minnesota, borderline with the BWCA (Boundry Waters Canoe Area) and right off the Gunflint Trail. My in-laws own a cabin up there and they have satellite internet. How sweet is that? In God's country with internet. They don't even get cell service up there, so the internet is like hitting the jackpot!
The scenery is gorgeous and relaxing. My husband absolutely loves it up there. I guess I got into relaxing a little too much in order to use the good old brain cells to post something credible for all of you to read. But I'll start up again on Monday. Thanks for waiting.
I'm excited for the Olympics to start tomorrow.
