Hi there - I hope this message finds you well.

I was shocked when I pulled into the gas station this morning to fill up my vehicle to find that it took a total of $54.32 to fill up my tank. I had to look that the pump 3 times to be sure that my eye’s weren’t playing tricks on me.

With the cost of gasoline rising and with the summer months here and expected family travels just around the corner, I wanted to share with you these ten tips to Save On Gasoline.

If your child in an animal lover then why not turn that love of animals into a love of reading!

My 8 year old Isaac is a animal lover. From snakes to bears he just cant seem to get enough. I subscribed him to Zoobooks about 2 years ago  and he *Still* loves it.

When it arrives in the mailbox he gets so excited and immediately flips it open. The great thing about this is that he is expanding his reading and learning about animals.

If you have an animal lover in your home, I am sure Zoobooks will be a hit. For all of you out there that are already subscribers, I’d love to hear your input.

Happy Reading,

Aurelia

Shay is recovering nicely baby is fine, mom is fine, dad is fine

WOW — it was a beautfully scheduled Csection and Shay is doing great - it went smoothly and Kevin (BF and I were there). I got to see the baby being pulled out, cleaned off, suctioned up and all that good stuff. I even got a peek at shays Tubes, Uterus and other stuff… LOL <– The Dr. volunteered to give me a quick anatomy lesson.

After the baby was pulled out I stood near the baby table as they did their job then watched Kevin cut off part of the cord and of course both Shay and I were BAWLING!! I kept saying He is the most beaututiful baby as she was hollering, let me see him!! LOL I was describing him to her as they cleaned him off and as soon as they finished the presented him to Shayna and the look on this “new mom’s” face was priceless!!!

Here’s Kevin Richberg III ……… Born shortly after Noon, May 10th, and weighing in at 5lb 13oz…

Real,

I took a last minute flight from Washington, DC to Tallahassee, FL yesterday because my 20 yo DD is now 37weeks pregnant and has very high blood pressure.  Well, I arrived at the hospital and set up camp in her delivery room and have not left her side.

I wanted to share a few pics

Housework is a never-ending job.  No matter how much you do, there will always be more to do tomorrow.  You can never get caught up.

Here are some tips to make your housework more manageable:

Divide and conquer – Children as young as two can start learning to help around the house.  The earlier they learn, the easier it will be to get them to continue helping around the house.

First, make a list of all the chores that need done around the house and when each needs done.  Some need to be done daily, some once a week.  Sit down as a family and decide who can do which job.  Some people even enjoy certain jobs more than others, just as some jobs are more age appropriate than others.

Many jobs can be shared by a couple of people. Working together can make things go faster.  For example, washing dishes by hand can be a long boring job. But, if two people are doing them together, one washing, the other drying, the work not only gets done faster, you have time to talk about your day together.

A chore chart can be very helpful in keeping everyone on task to get their jobs done.  Flexibility should be allowed, in case of illness or special school activities.  Family members should be willing to help each other out to get all the jobs done.

If everyone has a part in helping keep the house in order, they feel more a part of the family. It will help instill a sense of pride and accomplishment.  It will also give you a much needed and deserved break.
