No, we didn’t just have an addition to our family, he’s been around since November. The deal is….today is the first day I get to really be Auntie Luanne. I am so excited! My brother and sister-in-law’s son Ethan is usually taken care of by his Grandmother, but they are away on vacation this week. I am filling in….all week! I am so glad I am going to get to be close to him when he is growing up.
It seems like now a days families are spread out and even too busy for each other. Every day is manic for some….not just Mondays. Today I just wanted to remind you to enjoy your family members. Especially the very young and very old. It won’t be long until the young aren’t young any more and the old aren’t with us any more. Give extended family members a call today. Tell them you just called to say “Hello.” Call the little kids and let them be trilled they got a phone call. Write a letter….yes a letter. You know, pencil and paper. There is just something special about a hand written note. Thank the Lord for your family today.
It has been 12 years since I have spent a whole day with an infant. It is going to be awesome!
My name is Tiffany I live in the country in West Alexandria,Ohio. My children attend a very small school… K-12 is all in one building… reminds me of going to my school when I was young…I attended Dayton Christian Schools and had the blessing of graduating from there. I treasure that… a Christian education is a unique blessing these days. I thank my parents deeply for that. I am the oldest of three children, I met my husband when I was 18, he attended Carroll High School…and we were married 3 years later. I now have 4 wonderful blessings…Justin just turned 18, Cameryn Anne will be 13 on the 15th of this month, Jarred will 8 in July and my baby Cadyn will be one in July also. Yes, Cadyn was a TOTAL surprise, but she blesses us every day! So I am quite busy and stay at home with my kiddos… all three of the older ones are active in sports all year round… soooo I don’t get much down time at all…
My husband Tom is a semi driver, we are lucky that he has a job hauling steel for AK Steel in Middletown, so the gas prices do not cut into his pay or the money he makes hauling. Its a rather dangerous job but he loves it… I just totally pray all day and every day that the good Lord will bring him home each and every night… so many accidents there and some have been fatal.
In our times together, when we are all able to be together as a family we enjoy visiting our parents, my children have a close relationship with their grandparents and enjoy being with them… I think that is neat… my oldest still huggs and kisses them before we depart… not many moms can say that these days, especially of a grown son… he still kisses his daddy… I of course am so proud of that, he of course would kill me if he ever read that! We also go to all their sporting events and sometimes my son and husband go to Pittsburgh Steeler games when possible and the Cleveland Indians when possible… don’t foresee that this year!! Otherwise, I myself enjoy gardening and redoing a room at a time when money allows that… love anything creative really.
I think that’s enough babble about myself… other than I have not had the opportunity to meet Luanne… I found this website via Mommin It Up… do not know Jenny personally either…found that via 937Mom… I love both these blogs and I am new to the “bloggy world” but Christ has led me to some really neat sites that help me through my days…Thank you Luanne…

Well, I totally forgot that this WFMW is a themed post that is supposed to be how to combat the “Mom, I’m bored” issue that arrives in most households during the summer months. Even though I forgot and didn’t focus on that issue, I can tell you that obviously (watch my video and the videos at www.brothersstudios.com) we don’t experience a lot of boredom around our house. Our kids are involved in our work and our play. Even when they were little, I would pull a chair up to the sink so the girls could help me wash the dishes. Sometimes I would let them play in what I was doing like setting up a sheet tent in the living room while I am folding clothes. They loved that! So, that is my suggestion….involve them as much as possible in what you are doing. They love it and they will not be bored.
My big tip for today is to remind everyone again that your skin only looks as good as it really is. Make sure you are on a skin care regimen. If you love the skin care you are using and you love the price you are paying for it….great! Keep using it, use it consistently, and don’t use parts of one skin care line and other parts of another. Skin care systems are formulated to work together for the best results. If you start mixing up different brands, you will end up with chemical warfare on your face. For example, don’t use a Clinique cleanser and a Mary Kay Moisturizer and an Estee Lauder day protectant and night repair product. Use all of one brand. Trust me, it makes a huge difference. If you are not using skin care regularly then please register for my skin care class as see how easy it is to take good care of your skin. If you need skin care, purchase it here.
Every item has a money back guarantee. If you have questions about skin care or specific questions about color or body care for the summer, just give me a call. Also, please let me know in the comments what you would like to learn about. We have an awesome new Subtle Tanning Lotion. I love it! I could do a video on how to get the best tan using a tanning lotion or cream. There are a few tricks to getting it right. Just let me know what you would like to learn about. After you take the class, be sure to fill out the survey and get a free signature eye shadow. Tomorrow I will be doing advanced eye color. Don’t miss it!
