Pampered Chef!!!

For those that have known me awhile, they know I have been a Pampered Chef consultant on and off again for the last, I think 9 years. I recently joined back up with Pampered Chef for my 4th, yep 4th time. If you are wondering why, I do love the company, but I have quit after having kids or right before a big move in the past. If you wait a year with Pampered Chef, you can join up with a new kit and everything!

Well, I am a full fledged consultant now! I have had my 4 shows. I have earned my right to have a website where you can shop or check out your show is or check out what is new. I am still trying to figure it all out, so please excuse any hiccups. I know they used to have an outlet section where they had awesome prices on discontinued products. Not sure if they still have it.

Well you can go check out my new shopping website!

Let me know what you think!

Rough Start

Well, my friend Jennifer asked if I wanted to be part of the NaBloPoMo, posting every day for the month of November. I thought about it for a moment and then agreed to try it. My first post I am squeezing in 30 min. before the end of Nov 1st, so who knows how great the rest of the month will be.

I did have a great day today. The family went together on some errands in the morning, you know like buying socks---very exciting!!! We wanted to eat out at Stevie B's, a restaurant similar to Cici's Pizza, we had heard great things about it and had buy one get one free buffets, we got there and they had closed. So it was off to our favorite Chinese Buffet.

I got home and had a moment to play with scrapbooking/card making stuff! Then off to stake conference (church stuff). A friend of mine invited me to go out before hand and eat, well more hang out for me, because I was still stuffed from lunch. It was a great stake conference. Came home and spent time with hubby. It was a great day!

Okay, so I cheated with my play-by-play of the day, but I did get the first day in & that almost didn't happen.

Very, very funny!

I know I should have never stated in a blog that I was starting to get things together, because I haven't blogged much since then. I recently started watching another 3 yr old boy. So I am relearning how to balance my homeschooling, all the places we have to go and do and keeping the 3 year olds entertained. I am still making bread (yeah!!!), but I haven't balanced the blogging back in very well yet.

I had to share the following. I found Elastic's blog awhile back and have loved every post she has, she cracks me up all the time, but you have to go and check out the Twilight Trailer Spoof. Click here to enjoy the laughter!

Good & Scary Sounds

GOOD:

Bobo and I were talking about Daddy going to work. Then Bobo told me how he liked his job. I asked him what his job was, he said, "Pwaying with toys and fighting aliens." I just thought it was too cute and I guess overall he is a happy kid.

SCARY:

The kids and I were downstairs reading and all of a sudden we heard Dad lose his footing and fall down the stairs. It was one of the scariest sounds I have heard in awhile. Dad seems like he is okay, just hurt his knee and ankle some. Just awful so soon after his back surgery.

Getting Some Order Back

I know in my life there are moments that things seem to be going okay and there seems like there is some order to things, but most of the time it seems so out of control that I feel like I am just barely hanging on for the ride.

I was talking with a friend of mine the other day and had mentioned I was making bread. And I realized while I was talking to her that usually when I start making bread things start to fall into place better in the home. It does not make logical sense, seeing making bread takes more time than grabbing loaves off the shelf and throwing them in the cart and putting extras into the freezer so you always have some. (I was very tempted at Sam's Club yesterday just to grab a few loaves.) My bread machine even died out recently, so I am putting more time than what I am used to putting.

Here's hoping that I continue to get more order in the house, because it's really needed!
