Exciting new opportunity!!

I have found a new opportunity!! Well, several, actually...

I have found a way to save money on books for the kids (all the way until they are teenagers)! I have found a way to earn free books for myself and help others do the same!! I have found a way to promote literacy! And, I have found a way to make money and others can do the same, too!

Have you heard of Usborne Books at Home? Well, they are now Usborne Books & More and my boys LOVE them!! I decided I would start selling them! Of course, you can attend a home show and order books for yourself or for gifts. You can have your own home show and earn books, not only off your party but parties booked from yours! You can sign on to sell them to earn discounts for yourself and/or to make money!!

Anyway I look at it, it's a great deal and fun!!! I received my "kit" in the mail a couple weeks ago and my boys are loving the books!! I hope they'll be in a condition to actually share at your party!! :)

You can check out my website: www.ubah.com/A3442. You can enter to win $50 of free books, you can host a show, you can purchase books online or you can learn more about becoming a consultant yourself!!

I have dates available in the Houston area in March!!! :) I have dates available in April etc in Arkansas!! If you just want to see the books, let me know and we can sit down and learn about them together!! :)

Naptime today

So, Kyle is supposed to be sleeping. Of course, he doesn't go down for his nap until Kolby wakes up from his... so much for Mommy time! Anyway, I peek in because it has been really quiet for a while - just want to make sure he's okay. He's not sleeping. He's just looking at the door. So I decide I'm going to snuggle him. He gets in my lap and I cradle him. He sticks his arm out behind me so I tuck it in.

Kyle: "No, don't do that. My arm might get hot."

Me: *snicker*

I run my hand over his eyes to close them... they pop open.

Me: "Close your eyes so you can go to sleep."

Kyle: "No, my eyes might get hot!"

Me/Kyle: *giggle giggle laugh laugh*

Our day today!

This morning I was tired so slept in a bit - Kyle did too, I think... He had eaten a couple cookies for breakfast and then I fixed him some yogurt and cheese stick. I couldn't figure out why it took him SO LONG to finish his breakfast! Tonight we went to some friends' house for supper and I asked Del how many cookies he'd left for us to eat - all of them. 10-12 cookies. And Kyle ate them all before 9am. Whew! No wonder he didn't have room for breakfast!!!



After we got home from dinner and visiting, I opened my truck door to get Kyle and heard some beeping... the CO alarm was going off (2nd time this winter) - stinkin' battery!! So, I went in the house, made sure the pilot wasn't out on the fireplace after I reset the alarm and went in search of the instruction booklet. I read all of the sections about the CO detector and what I should be doing etc. To make a long story short, we've never installed a new battery properly and when it is done right, the racket stops right away instead of going on and on....!!! Wooohoooo for reading the instruction manual!! I just replaced it in December or something but I guess two days of detecting battery only was too much. So, tomorrow I'm off to buy new batteries! As well as food to restock the fridge and freezer!!
