Starting My New Business

I don't think its ever easy to step out of your comfort zone and do something new and different.  I like to be around women.  In fact, I strive to be around women.... I learn so much from them and want to have ladies to fellowship with.  Everyone brings so much to the table with all the different experiences they have had.  They all have different lives and choose to do things differently than I do.  That is not bad, in fact its wonderful...cause that's what make us so unique.
So, my new venture is selling Celebrating Home products.  I love the products!!  I get to cook in the stoneware and show off really cool ideas on how to decorate a part of your home.  I especially love the seasonal products!!  I can throw together a little basket for a birthday gift or Easter present.  But, the best thing is I can be around other women!!  We get to socialize while shopping!!

If you want to hostess a party, please contact me!!  Its fun and you will get lots of free things

Coffee-Mate in the HOUSE!!

I had my first Coffee-Mate Game Night at my house on Friday Night!!  Coffee-Mate sent me a nice package of prizes (presents) for my party.  I received a box with creamer and coffee samples, napkins and cups, FREE coupons for Coffee-Mate Creamer of course and to fill the night with Fun I received a Poker Set and Cranium!!

I was worried that even the neighbors and friends that said they were coming were going to flake out on me because 6pm came real quick and only a few people were ready to drink a cup of Jo and taste the new flavors I bought.  But, everyone showed up as planned and we began to drink....
I think Belgian Chocolate Toffee was a HIT!! at least that's what I kept going back for.  I made sure that my guests had a couple of varieties to choice from...including my ole' stand-by Sugar-Free French Vanilla. We also tried the new flavors of Caffe Latte and White Chocolate Carmel Latte
We started the evening with snacks and coffee or tea, for those who really wanted to safe away from caffeine and the game Cranium. 
okay, for those who have never played Cranium you have to play.  We started off slow...since no one knew the game and ended with a bang!!  We laughed and even cried...because of laughing so hard.  We didn't even have time to play poker, because we played over 2 hours of Cranium.
Everyone left with a coffee container in hand filled with goodies from Coffee-Mate and the same words were repeated as they left "We have to do this again this was so much fun". So, we are already talking about another Game Night!! 

A New Day a New Year.... And Kindergarten Tours

Where has the time gone???  I have posted a blog more than 6 months ago. 

So far this year, or shall I say since the last of my blog I have gained 2 newphew.... Carter and Declan. 
Kylie turned 5 on December 7th. We had a little party at California Pizza Kitchen.  Christmas came and went.  I am very thankful for that since, Christmas takes a lot of of me.

And now my time is filled up with Kindergaten Tours..... What is a Kindergarten Tour?  If you do not know, count yourself very lucky.  Kylie will be entering Kindergarten in the fall, so I get to go to the different schools in my area and apply for what is called School of Choice.  Our homeschool, Helen Keller Elementary is not the highest rated school in fact it gets 5 out of a possible 10 in testing scores.  What this means, is that Keller is not a top ranked school and has a lot of kids not meeting the standards.  So, I have gone on 4 school tours with at least 3 more to go.  Most of the schools that I really like are rated at least an 8.  There are also parents/teachers that rate the schools with a possiblity of 5 stars.  The schools I really like are 4 and 5 stars. 
Each school tours their school differently and each school offers so many different things.  One school has a Spanish Immersion program.  Kindergarteners will learn Spanish in thier class 90 % of the time.  Their teacher only speaks Spanish.  The kids would go to another teacher for English instruction.  All their school work will be done in Spanish.  Its a highly desired program for the kids in this area.  The kids would continue spanish throughout their Elementary education...decreasing the Spanish as the years continue.
Another School has a Science teacher for all grades and the kids attend Science class once a week, along with Computer Lab once a week and PE twice a week.
As you see, there are a lot of options out in Long Beach...so, I continue my tours and hopefully Kylie will get into 1 of my top 3 choices, or she will have to attend Keller along with the other kids that didnt get into a top school and kids that are busesd in from other areas...

Also, I have applied to House Party and won a party from Tru Moo.  They are sending me a whole bunch of things to throw a Valentine Party.  I can not wait until I get my box tomorrow.  I will post pictures!!
