I have just started my SimplyFun games business and would love to host your party! Please contact me at krisy@mygeekvoice.com, I need 2 bookings in 20 days to make my goal and I am really hoping that you can help me with that! I can even show off the games at your event or MOM group as well! Thanks! For the month of January, you will receive double host awards!!!
Each week, I also plan on focusing on one game and reviewing it, if you like it and want to learn more, or purchase it, please contact me. The games are fun, educational and most can be played within 30 minutes. These games are great for family nights, homeschool learning or just plain fun! The thing that I like as well is that they are well constructed games and are fair market price! As someone who loves games to begin with I can’t wait for an excuse to come over and play games with you all.
My goals with this business is to eventually own a game store where people can come and have game nights in a fun and safe environment for families and kids and this step will help me with that goal, so please I ask that you help me reach my goals but booking a party or passing this on to someone who you think would like to have a SimplyFun party!
So, I have been watching this season of the Deadliest Catch and I noticed that Jake Anderson’s dad was missing. Well, what got me even further intriged is that his truck was found missing in Darrington, which is the neighboring town. I was bothered by this because how did I not know about this when this was happening in January? I felt horrible, was I a bad person for not knowing?
Then I happened to do a web search for Jake’s dad and found out that I was not an uncaring person. I had seen the photos and flyers everywhere here in Arlington, Marysville, Burlington and all the other places in the area that we go. What is sad is that this was a man who was a former high school counselor and seemed to be a good man. (Not that anyone should go missing, but you get my point)
I feel for the family and I sincerely hope that with Jake being on the Deadliest Catch that more people will step up and join the search or come forward. To the Anderson family: my heart goes out to you! If you would like to help out, you can donate money for the family and the search efforts.
I am a reader of Seattle Business magazine. This month’s issue featured a Seattle based company called Cozi. Cozi is the best online calendar, planning and etc tool I have seen, plus it’s free! They are local to me and I am big on supporting local businesses! Cozi is also a place where you can set up your family website as well. I also love the texting feature, so if it’s late at night and I need Brad to pick up something on his way home from work, I can text him to do it! Cozi is also great at To Do Lists. I can create a To Do list for each person, for the family or etc. This has been nice since I live by To Do lists. They are also printable, which has been awesome as well, espeically for us SAHM who need to do lists to accomplish anything sometimes! Make sure to check out Cozi and start up with them today!
I have a show that I just have to shamelessly plug: Raising Sextuplets! If you are a fan of Jon & Kate + 8, but hate watching 1. the way they talk to each other & 2. their divorce issues, then check out the Masche family on the WE channel! Raising Sextuplets is about Brian and Jenny Masche and their six kids. What I love about this show is the way that Brian and Jenny relate to each other! They don’t yell at each other or bark out orders, they talk to each other like human beings! Brian just finished his MBA and works full time and Jenny is a P.A. or Physicians Assistant part time. They are a Christian couple who practices what they preach! (Amen to that!) Jenny also writes on the WE Channel’s Raising Sextuplets blog, which is always refreshing to read.
So, make sure to check out the newest crew on the multiples block, Raising Sextuplets. It’s on Thursday nights on the WE Channel at 10 EST.
I recently started to read Mom Overboard by Robin Chaddock. I have tried reading this book before, but it just wasn’t the right timing for me to really take in and process the information. Well, now it is. This book gives moms 12 lifesavers for moms who’d rather swim than sink.
Are you feeling the following?
- Forgetfullness
- mind/body split
- Inability to enjoy anything
- overwhelming need to get away
- feeling isolated
- dissatisfaction with life
- inability to be quiet and still
- going against your better judgment
- you are spending more than you make
- you feel inferior
- you are angry
If any of these sound like you, then find a copy of this book soon! Robin’s practical guide with discussion questions for you to really dig deep into your personality and psyche and figure out what needs to be changed. Robin also uses the Bible and what God things of us as moms, not what we think which tends to be wrong.
This book will help you change the way you think about yourself and your job as a mother.
I was looking at a friend’s copy of Your Pregnancy Week by Week and I really liked it! In fact, I ordered a copy off of Amazon. I liked it better because I felt I was given more pertanant information. The What to Expect When You Are Expecting book is good and full of great information, but for me, it was more like a “these are all the things that could go wrong in your pregnancy” book. I’m pregnant and hormonal, I don’t need more crap to worry about in my life. However, it was a good resource when I was dealing with placental previa, so it has good information, especially if you are having issues in your pregnancy.
So, if you are pregnant, I would suggest looking at both books and decide, or buy both. One to read weekly to really get the gist of what is going on in your pregnancy and one to read as a general overview and a what if book.
Tell me a bit about your pregnancy so far and enter to win a copy of Your Pregnancy Week by Week!
After checking out “The Stay-At-Home Mom Survival Guide“, i am no longer wracked with guilt when I have one of the days. You know, the type of days when you just want to pull out your hair and wish that you had your life back before kids. Let’s face it, every stay at home mom has those days, we may not admit it, but we do.
Melissa Stanton is great at being honest about the issues associated with being a stay at home mom, but also encouraging you that you are not alone and that it can be rewarding. I loved her style because even when she is encouraging, she doesn’t come across as a high school cheerleader on speed! She is practical and honest, which is refreshing.
If you are a stay at home mom and sometimes feel like you are struggling, I would highly suggest checking out this book. I would also suggest checking out a local MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) group. This has been a lifesaver for me and I hope it will help you too! If you look under the Groups tab, you can find a local group.
