Supporting fellow Moms and a Giveaway! August 20, 2008

      I would like to introduce a mom who has just become a WAHM in addition to being a homeschooling mom.   She and her family have become representatives and now have a marketing company they run out of their home.  I introduced you to some of the Lamas Beauty organic skin, bath and hair products.  I also introduced you to the vitamins, minerals and supplements by True Essentials and Lifestyle Essentials.

     In addition to those products they also represent major cell phones and cell phone service providers.  If you are looking to renew your contract, add lines, upgrade your service or phone you can do so through their site.   You can even change cell phone service providers and keep your number.  No making time to get to the store before it closes.  No being pushed into buying whatever product they are promoting that month.  You can do it from the comfort of your own home with complete security and privacy.  The phones are much cheaper than in the store and you can help support this family with a product you already use and save yourself some money.

     Now it is time for the GIVEAWAY!! 

Please: 

     Post on your blog about this Giveaway.  We would like to spread the word on my giveaway.  If you link to her site that would just be very nice of you.  The web address is www.duesouthmarketing.com. 

     Then take a moment to go to Lamas Beauty and tell me 2 or 3 products that spark your interest.   I recommend the face lift in a bottle- aka Pumpkin Spice Polish.

     .

     I will choose a winner and then purchase them an item from Lamas Beauty.  That is why I want you to tell me what you like.   

     Here are the “rules of play”:

     ♥  Post a comment below.

     ♥  Make sure your comment has your Lamas Beauty choices in it.

     ♥  Make sure your comment has a way for me to contact you, should you win.

     ♥  Comments will close Saturday, August 30th at midnight and I will randomly draw a winner. 

     ♥  This giveaway is open to US and Canadian residents.

     ♥  One comment per person please!

God bless,

Things I Love Thursday August 14, 2008

     Welcome to the latest “Things I Love Thursday“!

     Keeping our kids healthy is extremely important to us.  We can give them a big boost by giving them a solid kids vitamin.  It is important to have a whole foods vitamin with everything in it for fast growing children who often do not eat whole groups of foods.  How many of us have a child who won’t eat anything green or enough fruit, etc? 

     The chemical vitamins sold at large “mart” stores are just too empty to be effective.  They are artificially made and the body only absorbs a small portion.  The rest of the vitamin just goes right through the body.  A whole food vitamin is almost totally absorbed.  No wasting important vitamins and money! 

     We have tried many different vitamins for our kids and have found a great product!!  Essentials for Kids by True Essentials.  They are great!!  They are not expensive and the kids like to take their vitamins.  They get the vitamins and minerals they need to be healthy and have strong immune systems.

     Anything that helps to keep my kids happy and healthy is something I love!

     I get my vitamins here.  We just ordered the multipak for Mr. Muscles.  I will let you know more about them when they get **here.  Hey, just trying to help everyone healthier and happier one family at a time.  :) 

     So, what do you love this Thursday?  Come share it with us at Diaper Diaries or just visit others and see what is making their lives easier, happier or just plain more fun. 

God Bless,

~Rhen

**The site you to to is that of a WAHM who is also a homeschooling one.  When you open the site just click on the True Essentials logo and start your shopping.  Not only are the prices excellent but we can help support this WAHM and her family in their new business.  Thanks ya’ll!

New Organic Love!! August 13, 2008

     I have shared with you before about our family’s commitment to healthier living.

     One of those ways is not only being careful of what you put in your body, but also what you put on your body.  Your body is like a sponge and easily soaks up chemicals in the products you use.

     We have tried and used many products such as Jason, Kiss My Face and Aubrey Organics.  I have been a huge Aubrey Organics fan for several years now but a new line of organic products has captured my heart. 

     I would like to introduce ya’ll to Lamas Beauty.  …drum roll please…

     Lamas is not only organic but also eco-friendly and very healthy.  There is no animal testing, no animal ingredients, paraben free and sulfate free. 

     The Wheatgrass Deep Cleansing Shampoo has already gotten my attention as well as the Repair Me Conditioning Mist.

                          

     Next I will be trying the Chinese Herb Body Lotion.  

 

Here is a site where you can purchase the Lamas Beauty items.  The bottom half of the page shows a list of companies and their logos.   Just click on the Lamas Beauty logo and start browsing!

God bless,

~Rhen

PS- The site you go to that sells all of the products listed on the homepage is that of a homeschooling family and WAHM.  All items purchased through that site are not only discounted (excellent prices!!) ,but also helps to support the family.   I invite you to take a moment and peek at the other products and companies they represent!

Olympic Dreams August 12, 2008

     We, of course, have been watching the Olympics with special attention to the gymnastics.  Ms. Firecracker (7) is now training for her second competitive season and has so much God given talent.  She is beyond flexible and absolutely fearless.  As we have been watching the USA Women Gymnasts she now has even more resolve to one day be in the Olympics.  You just may one day see her there. 

     Ms. Firecracker (7) is not our only gymnast.  Ms. Lovebug (5) is also a gymnast who is training for her first competition year.  She has really loved the transition from gymnastics for fun to competition gymnastics.  She has only seen a little bit of the Olympic gymnastics.  It is just too far past her bedtime! 

     Let us not forget our male gymnast- Short Man (9).  He is also training for his first competition season.  Watching the men has inspired him to take his gymnastics to the next level.  At practice tonight we saw some of that new determination. 

     As long as they love doing it, I am happy.

     Watching the USA Men’s Gymnastics team grab the bronze last night was fantastic!  They were not even expected to come close to getting a medal without the Hamm brothers, yet, their determination, heart and skill could not be held back. 

     I am just loving watching our country and others compete in so many different sports.  Awesome!!

     Have you been watching?

Tea Parties Gone Bad! August 7, 2008

What happens when Ms. Independent (3) gets into Ms. Serious’ (11) porcelain tea set?

Let’s ask Ms. Lovebug (5).

She says this:

I didn’t know you could even fit 5 stitches into such a little toe!  

She was a trooper at the ER and has been ever since.  The stitches come out Friday, and then she can get back to gymnastics.  Well, gymnastics, but slowly!

This is the first time we have had stitches in any of the kids.  Not too bad a record! 

Have a very blessed day,

~Rhen

Things I Love Thursday August 7, 2008

     Are ya’ll ready for my second Things I Love Thursday?  I am so ready! 

     With our school year back in full swing it brought my attention to one of my school supplies I could not live without.

     I found this stuff last year and then went on a hunt.  I bought a few at every store I could find them at and when I found them on clearance I bought every one they had.  :)  I just cannot pass up a deal like that!

      It is great to help the kids learn to write properly by learning letter spacing, word spacing, consistent letter size, page boundaries and more.   Can you see all the little guides on the page?!

     Whether you are a homeschooler or a parent who wants to help their child learn and excel, this paper is fantastic! 

     It made a huge improvement in Ms. Firecracker’s (7) and Short Man’s (9) handwriting.  Ms. Lovebug (5) will be using it this year. 

     So, what thing do you love?

     To share or see what others are sharing head over to Diaper Diaries and check it out!

Have a blessed day!
