I love being a BzzAgent!!!! It is great to be able to try products for free with absolutely NO, ZERO, catch at all.
I was just selected to try, one of, Covergirl's newest products, the Blast Flipstick. I was sent 3 different sticks, with 2 colors in each stick. You can wear each color alone, or mix them to make your own blend. It was fun to try these lipsticks and play with them to see what colors I could come up with.
I am not a HUGE lipstick wearer, so I got some strange looks from my family when they saw me with lipstick on. I do wear colored chapstick, once and a while, so not sure what the big deal was. LOL!
The lipstick has a nice feel, not heavy at all. It does run a but so I would suggest wearing a lip liner, something I don't have on hand.
I also like the packaging because I have not had the tops fall off in my purse or makeup bag. A lot of my lipsticks, that I do wear, the tops fall off and then the lipstick gets ruined and I have to throw it out.
I would suggest this product to anyone who loves to wear lipstick. Again, it is a fun way to get different looks, so go out and check to see what colors appeal to you and try them out, today.

HGTV

HOW COULD PEOPLE BE SO STUPID?? Why ohhhh why would anyone want to say NO to a guy coming up to you with cameras to offer you a new bathroom, yard or another room in your house for free? I laugh every time I watch these shows & wish it was me they were asking, 'cause I would say YES in a heart beat. A person has to wonder why these people are saying no. What are they hiding???
This is a dream for so many of us to have our housed crashed, plus learn how to do some of the work, all this for FREE.
My whole house & yard need to be crashed, so HGTV crashers, come crash me any time. I'll be waiting.

Been A While

It has been a while since my last blog post. I love to write but seems as the days go by the less interested I am in doing so much of the things I love to do.
I did get busy this past winter, so I guess that is part of my excuse. Excuses are what I do best.
It has been a tough month for me. I lost my grandma a month ago & I am still hurting a lot. So much more has been going on too but won't bore you with it all.
Losing Grandma was not easy at all. She was the last of our family since we lost our mom in '92. She was the glue that kept us together. I caught myself wanting to call her the day we got home, the day after her funeral. I put my keys down, saw the phone & said, wow, I should really call Grandma soon. I have caught myself thinking that a few times since. I sure do miss you a lot & going home, the next year, is going to be hard. I am pretty sure I will tear up, knowing she won't be there to go visit.
I won't be going back to the MS to work, this school year. Not to sad about not going back for many reasons. I will miss it though, because there are some great kids there that I am so glad I got to know the three months I got to work there.
I am trying to get the house freshened up for the winter, so started by getting a fresh coat of paint in Tia's bedroom. Now to get stuff back on the walls & build shelves in her closet. Then I have to do the same, except for paint, in Devin's room. I will then keep moving through the house until it is all freshly painted or redone in some way or another.
I am also going to try and china paint a bit more this winter. I really love to china paint, one of my favorite crafts.
I need to start to work on me & think about me, but that probably won't happen because since I won't be working & at home day in and day out, others will always come first.
OMG!! Change of subject. I am watching a movie & had to turn up the volume because hubby is in the basement snoring up a storm. I had to turn it up pretty loud too, to not hear him. Good Grief!!!

Summer Fireflies

Little lights to light our way, they are the Summer Fireflies.

Dancing in the moon light to natures songs.

Children laughing, chasing after these little dancing lights. 

Jars come out to catch a few to light a path to home.

Lying in the grass looking at the stars and the light of the Summer Fireflies. 

How I would love the joys of the Summer Fireflies all year around, but Winter comes so quick here in the North. Now I see Dreamlights lighting up the night to bring us back to Summer and the joys of the Summer Fireflies. Just looking at the Dreamlights, when it's 0 above, will warm our hearts & know that we see the real Summer Fireflies again in a few months. 

Busy as a Bee!

I have been as busy as a bee as of late so I have not done any writing on my blog in a while.  The last few months have been crazy busy. Taryn is now in ice skating lessons but tomorrow will be her last day and that is the last of the three skating programs. She has said she wants to skate again in the Fall and well I am looking forward to it. I think we better start saving now because skating is not cheap at all. Devin has shown interest too and says he wants to next year. I should really think about getting a better paying job to pay for them both being in the program. UGH!! I guess if it makes them happy it doesn't matter how much it is, right? LOL!
Next Sunday Taryn will be 5. WOW! Where has the time gone? I said last year that I wanted the last 4 years back since they went by so fast, so now you know what I am thinking this year. Yup, I want the last 5 back now and the last 9 of Devin's :(
The school year is almost over and I am happy but yet sad. I am so proud of both my kids for doing so well in school. They are both so smart and enjoy learning new things so that has made these first few school years so much easier. Now when it comes to getting them to do their homework, well that is a whole different story. YIKES! Devin's teacher says how good Devin is in school. I told her ya, I know, I think all his teachers brain wash them by getting them to listen at school and then being total stinkers when they get home. LOL! I am glad he is good in school and other public places and then a stinker at home. At least I know my child isn't causing trouble and I won't get called to school because he did some thing really bad, well at least not for now.
I guess this is going to be it for tonight. I am pooped out and have a L O N G day tomorrow. Thanks for reading and have a wonderful rest of the weekend! 

What is a BzzAgent?

I am a BzzAgent and have been for over a year, not really sure how long but that sounds good to me. It is funny when people ask how you got some thing free and you tell them. They always think there is a catch. This isn't the only site I belong to that I get to try items for free and give stuff to friends. No matter what everyone always thinks there is a catch. Sorry folks but there isn't a catch, well there is I guess, but all you have to do is write reviews and share with friends and family. That is a catch I think we all can live with. No credit cards needed, no cash, nothing, it is just a few minutes of my time to fill out a survey or do a review that simple, that easy. Some people think I am crazy but we all use products every day so why not join some thing that you get to try out products for free? There isn't anything wrong with that at all.
Today I tried out thefactortree.com with Taryn and she had a good time answering the questions. The first test she took was not age appropriate even for kindergarten level, and that is what she was testing as. It was more of a second grade level with adding three or more numbers together. We did some of them but I stopped after a few because she needs to figure out the regular addition first. I will see if Devin wants to try for his grade level when he gets home and see what he thinks. As for paying for the use of the site after the free month trial, no way. It isn't worth paying money for when there are other Math sites out there that are free. I didn't feel it had enough fun areas for kids to keep them interested. I will write more later when Devin tries the site out. For now I am out of here. Check out www.bzzagent.com if you are interested in reviewing products. It is a lot of fun and most of all FREE, well the free products to try once and a while is pretty darn good too. :)

First Haircut

Yesterday my daughter got her first haircut. Problem is she gave it to herself and I wasn't ready for her to get a haircut. Today I have made an appointment for her to get a real cut but am so afraid Angie will have to cut her hair really short to make it look better. I am soooooooooo not ready for that at all. Taryn was born with very little hair and it took FOREVER for her hair to grow. Now she has pretty, long blond hair and I had plans for her hair. I am growing mine out for Locks of Love so thought it would be good to do the same with her hair. It as some thing we were going to do together in a year or two. For her it might not happen now and I am okay with that, just not ready for it. It is killing me to know that I have to take her and have this done but I know it needs to be done. This is just one more first I need to deal with and many more to come. I will be getting a trim too, so thank goodness it was time for me to do so, so now we both will get our haircuts together. :(
