It has been awhile!

I am so sorry it has been so long since I have last updated! I have just been so overwhelmed with things, and have decided I will be cutting back on the amount of posts I make, at least for now. I will keep updating here though, just not everyday like I was.

I had to take the Praxis II on Saturday, so studying for that took a lot of my time, and then the test was even harder than I thought it would be! The Praxis II is the test I must pass in order to teach, or even student teach. I do not find out my score until 4 more weeks though, but I am keeping my fingers crossed!

This following semester is also my last semester of classwork, so I have a lot of things to do to be accepted into student teaching. Along with passing the Praxis II, I must complete a portfolio and an interview for my college, and I am a little nervous about that.

Though school will be busy, the website is still going full-force, and I love it! We are starting to get into a situation where I may be able to scope out some new companies that I can hold inventory for, which means more great organic products for you! I would just like to thank all my customers, I appreciate you and love working with you!

Positively Organic's Surf & Turf Outfit for Boys

Have a great July Fourth!

Just my luck!

So I get up this morning, still feeling a little bad, but much improvement from yesterday. So I decide I can get Alex to soccer practice this morning since he missed it last week due to him being sick. We get there, and of course with it being Fourth of July week, there is no class! I hate when that happens! And here I thought I was just lucky when I had ended up getting a good parking space at the YMCA, I should've known better, lol.

Two classes down for the summer....one to go!

Finally! I can say that two more classes are officially finished with as of midnight last night! I worked very hard this weekend finishing up a big project, while also finding time to go to birthday parties, Nana's house, and to top it off, being sick. Let's just say I am more than a little worn out this morning :) But I just have a week and a half for my last summer class to finish, and I will get a little break before starting to study for the Praxis II and helping out with an elementary school's summer program.

Damien is home today though, thank goodness. I was able to sleep in for once, but still just killed out from being sick. It is mostly just a head cold, and I've had it for 6 days now, and I am hoping now that I can relax for a few days, I can fight it off. Though I do have to grocery shop today, and I prefer to go because of all my coupons I want to redeem at specific stores that are having okay sales this week (I've seen better).

I have lots of inventory to add to the store as well, so look for those coming up! I will be showing off some of the great stuff we have coming in as I add them, so come back soon!!

What a day!

And I still have school tonight for 4 hours :( Most of today has been spent studying, cleaning, and taking care of a sick child. I am not sure what is wrong with Alex exactly, I haven't been able to get much out of him, but he is cranky and just looks miserable in general, so today has been an inside day. And it is so nice out too! Wouldn't it be great to just schedule the kids to be sick on rainy and icky days? He seems to feel better right now, so hopefully that trend continues, as we are planning to go find one of his playgroup friends a birthday present for his party tomorrow.

We also need to get his hair cut, he has some goofy hair in the back that is tough to tame when it is not cut right, or if it gets too long! There is one length that his hair needs to be to stay under control, and it is only good for about 2 weeks, then it gets all funky again. Poor kid, hope it straightens out before he is old enough to care, lol. I cannot afford a hair cut every 2 weeks! Maybe if I learn how to cut hair....

It is absolutely beautiful outside!

And I need to get out there with the kids! I have been spending all morning finishing up some work and doing some homework. Now when Cara gets finished with her nap, I am taking those kids out there, because it is not often that we get temperatures in the 70s in June here. Usually it is mid to high 80s at this time, and with the 90s inching closer to the 100s next month, I need to get out there now!

I still have plenty of studying to do, but it will just have to wait until the kids are asleep tonight! No matter how busy I get, the kids are number one to me, and getting them outside to play is a must. I love watching Cara explore the outside, everyday she is just more amazed than the previous day about how much she sees and does outside. And Alex just loves being outside and running around. He is at the age now that playing tag is just the thing to do when your outside, and anyone that does not want to play tag just puzzles him, as it is the best game ever :)

Hope it is a beautiful day where you are! I better get going so Cara's snack will be ready for her when she gets up and we can get on out there and enjoy the day!

Everyone have a wonderful Father's Day Weekend!

Unfortunately the Daddy of this house will be at work all weekend :( But Alex already "wrote" him a story and colored it with drawings of Daddy and Alex doing many things together. It was really cute!

I guess on Sunday we will probably end up visiting my dad since Damien will be gone all day. The kids will enjoy it, they love going over to see "Nana and Pappy." It does help that they also get to visit with their 14 year old uncle and 10 year old aunt! (I tell people I was too much in the 80s for my parents, lol)

Anyways, I hope you all have some great plans for the weekend! I will be back here on Monday!

World Day Against Child Labor

Today, June 12, is World Day Against Child Labor Day. Declared by the International Labor Organization (ILO), the ILO is promoting child labor awareness. Children of impoverished countries are forced to work over attending school to help their families. The ILO is trying to promote awareness and allow these children to have a chance to be educated before being forced to work.

"The ILO has estimated that some 165 million children between the ages of 5 and 14 are involved in child labour. Many of these children work long hours, often in dangerous conditions" (ILO, http://www.ilo.org/ipec/Campaignandadvocacy/WDACL/2008/lang--en/index.htm). The ILO also goes on to state that there are many steps along the way to give educational access to these children. Among these include a provision to free education, getting over the barriers of girls' education, and raising public awareness of child labor. To find out more, please click on the link above, or go straight to the ILO's website at http://www.ilo.org.

Kids are out of school: Eco-friendly summer ideas

Need some ideas on how to keep the kids entertained this summer? I have compiled a list of eco-friendly summer activities that the kids will love!

1. Start a garden- Allow the kids to take care of their own section of the garden this year! They will adore looking after their plants and checking on them everyday to see how much they have grown! From watering to pruning, children will love having control over their own mini garden. Make it a fruit or vegetable plant, and maybe they will eat a little more fruits and veggies that came from their own green thumb ;)
2. Build a city- Rainy day out? Get out all those cereal boxes and let the kids create a city! They can use all different shapes and sizes of boxes to develop different building and sections of their city. Remember to be creative so you can use the city on another rainy day and add on to it!
3. Take a bike- Have some chores to do that usually gets done in a car? Get out all the bikes to do all the chores that is within a riding distance. The kids will love biking and being with you, and you can give them important chores to take care of while you are all out!
4. Take a hike- There are so many beautiful national forests in the United States, take advantage of them and the hiking trails! The kids will love looking at the different plants, animals, insects, and you can stop to have a home made picnic lunch under a nice shady tree!

These are just a few ideas on some great eco-friendly activities to do with the kids this summer! Please feel free to add on any more ideas you have on great eco-friendly family summer activities!

Happy birthday to me!

Today is my birthday, but it really is just another day around here. I have lots of projects looming over my head for these next 2 weeks, so I am actually hoping to finish one up today so I can move on to the next. I also have so many great items coming in to post in the store as well, and I promise, I am trying to get it all up! I am just feeling a little overwhelmed with the last few weeks of summer school still ahead, but it will all get done, it always does :)

I also have music class to take the kids to today, and play group, so another busy day here! Wish me luck that I keep my sanity :)
