Picture day
Today is the day that my daughter gets her school picture taken. My son had his taken earlier this month. One of the reasons why I’m quite pleased about this is because this will be her first school picture of middle school. She has grown up so much this past year that she now looks like a young lady. Because the school takes digital photos now, I will be able to see the proofs today. I can’t wait until she gets home from school to see what type of picture we will be hanging on our wall this year. Her brother’s pictures turned out wonderfully and I’m really hoping that hers will too. I’ll let you all know.
Febreze Home Collection
Most of you may not be aware of this, but I am a huge Febreze fan. I have probably tried out every Febreze product that is available on the market and have fell in love with each and everyone of them. That is why when I was given the opportunity to try out the new Febreze Home Collection, I jumped at the chance.
In this collection I was given a scented reed diffuser, a soy blend candle and a flameless luminaire kit to test out and give my opinion on. Well after receiving my products in the mail (thank you Febreze ), I ripped open the package and started testing out the products. You can just imagine my delight at being able to test out these different scents. Another thing I discovered about the Febreze Home Collection is that not only does it give you a perfect aroma for your home, but the products themselves are so stylish that they add class and style to any home decor.



Seriously folks, the next time you in the market for an air fresher or scented candles for your own home, your really going to want to check out the Febreze Home Collection. Who knows, maybe you’ll become addicted to Febreze and their products just like I have.
Settling into my routine
Well the kids have been back in school for exactly a week now and I have just begun to get settled in my routine. It’s nice to be able to have all this free time to get things done that need to get done while their both out of the house. Unfortunately I haven’t gotten a lot accomplished, but I am getting there. I have been doing some extra computer work and been doing a lot of housework as well. It doesn’t look like I’m accomplishing much, but I think I’m slowly getting things the way I want them to. So, I will keep plugging away at all this and maybe sooner rather than later I will have everything done that I want.
Remembering
Well I’m sure your all aware that today is September 11th. Eight years ago today this country experienced the worst terrorist attack that we ever seen. And even after eight years, the horror of what took place that day still stays with us all. Well today is a special day in our home for another reason. Two years ago today my very dear mother in law passed away. Even though it’s been two years since her death, we still miss her everyday and her loss is always with us. So today is a day for remembering and reflection in our for a couple of very important reasons.
Trip to the zoo
Although this summer was pretty crappy weather wise, we were still able to do a few things with the children. One thing that we did with them that impressed them quite a bit was we took them to the zoo. They had a great time looking at the animals and pretending to act like them. Their favorite of course was the monkeys and my youngest son spent the better part of the day acting like one. We try to take them to the zoo every summer. And even though they have seen these animals many, many times, they still enjoy going to zoo and seeing all the animals. Maybe next year we will be able to take them to a different one.
Finally summer!
Yes I realize that this is September 2nd. But…. we really haven’t had much of a summer this year. And now with only six days left until the kids are back in school we are finally experiencing some nice weather. Well I’m not complaining. But I really do wish this type of weather came a lot sooner than it did. I think we are going to have a beautiful fall. And although this kind of weather won’t benefit the kids very much, it certainly will benefit me. So I guess I’ll enjoy this weather while we have it and take the kids outside for as much time as we can.
