I bought this tankini from Layers Clothing this year and I’ve just gotta rave, I love it! It’s long so I can bend over, the top doesn’t end right at the “fatty” part of my stomach, and it gives me enough coverage up top. It fits well and let’s face it, is so cute! They have 10 to choose from, click here to check them out.

Katri asked me to put her blankets on sale for $35, lovey’s $19.95. WOW! I think she’s trying to sell her inventory so she can focus on other projects. Let me just tell you these are the softest, coolest, one-of-a-kind blankets and loveys! They’re amazing. In fact my friend just had a baby on Monday and I’m ordering one before she sells out.

So a bunch of my friends get together on the 2nd Thursday of every month to play games, socialize, and share tips. We’re the Mavens! I just got the list of tips from last week and I thought I’d share the goodies!

1. http://www.powells.com has a Jane Austen action figure
2. You can check out videos for 3 weeks at the Haltom City library just in case you go on vacation.
3. Daddy’s Footprints Poem
4. Mexican Soup recipe
5. You can buy liquid soap in a vintage container at Ross or Marshall’s for under $5 and also makes a great gift. (No more refilling)
6. Funky Monkey boutique has great stuff
7. Neutragina has a self tanner with SPF in it.
8. To get your child to wash their hands better, there’s a squid soap that squirts “ink colored soap” and requires 2 minutes of washing to get off.

My kids are LOVING vacation bible school! Here is an easy activity to do with your kiddos. Blow up a balloon with a penny inside. If you move the balloon in a circular motion it spins inside the balloon, displaying centrifugal force. If you can’t explain the science, do it anyway it’s a blast!

Dish Soap and Pepper Object Lesson

When Dylan got home from VBS (Vacation Bible School) today he asked me to fill a bowl with water, pour in some pepper, and then squirt in a little dish soap. (The pepper was repelled by the soap.) He said that God is just like the dish soap and when you follow him evil can’t be around you.

Salt, Pepper, and a Spoon

Davis was not to be out done by his younger brother and filled a saucer will salt. He then sprinkled a bunch of pepper on the top. Took the spoon and rubbed it in his hair and then over the salt and pepper. (The pepper attaches itself to the spoon.) Davis told me that the pepper represents our sins and the spoon represents God. God takes away our sins.

Star Wars Religion

Last week Dylan told me that Star Wars was just like the gospel. It has good and bad in it and Darth Vader was like the devil. 🙂

I’m going to be in Houston for the weekend and am going to miss my blogging friends terribly. Since ExecutiveHomemaker.com (EH) is being worked on and temporarily unavailable. (Bummer!) I’ll leave you with a different kind of amazing tip. Chanda makes these incredible scrapbooking layouts and sells them on EH. All the work is done for you! Now you can finally catch up on all your scrapbooking for all of your kids! She knows all the latest techniques, there are a minimum of 4-10 embelishments on each layout, and they’re all ready for your 4×6 pictures. You just paste them on!

You can order a 1st Year Scrapbook three different ways:
1. All at once
