I am a new Bzz Agent. When you are a Bzz Agent they send you products that are newer to try, also great coupons for the products. My very first campaign as a Bzz Agent is for the Glade Sense and Spray.
It arrived, I opened the box, and was excited to find my Glad Sense and Spray has the Clean Linen scent. Can I say Fabulous. I love it. The Glade Sense and Spray is wonderful. It knows when someone comes into the room and it Spritzes a Spray of the wonderful Clean Linen. Then the machine knows it has sprayed and it locks for 30 minutes. This is wonderful. I have a little tiny bathroom that is very busy and if it didn't lock it would be spraying every 2 minutes.
The refill of scent should last approximately 30 days depending on how many sprays it sprays per day. I also love the fact that you don't plug this in, It comes with a battery.. Wonderful
I have mine in my Living Room , I love it...
Ok.. Giveaway time.
I have purchased a Glade Sense and Spray Starter Pack to give to one of my wonderful readers. It is the Apple Cinnamon.. mmm smells wonderful. I will also throw in a $5.00 Walmart Gift Card to purchase a refill for your Glade Sense and Spray.

Wonderful Saturday!
It has been a absolutely wonderful Saturday. The weather has been gorgeous. Over 80 degrees all day. That is lovely here in Ohio, no rain and warm on the same day.. Wonderful.
This morning, My 2 sisters, 1 sister in law, and my aunt and myself were up nice and early and headed to the fairgrounds in the next county. The newspaper in the county hosted a Huge Yard sale at the fairgrounds. Instead of setting your sale up at your home you took it all to the fairgrounds.. There were approximately 75 booths.. It was great fun.
I managed to snag a few goodies, 3 vintage half aprons for 10cents each. Score,
2 sets of Fisher price Princess, Prince, Carriage, Horse for $1.00 each. I also managed to get a couple of more Fisher Price people for 25 cents. I bought my cousins in Penna a couple of cute John Deere Camo Tshirts, and an OSU hoodie.. so I spent a whopping. $4.55... Yeah..
Then the fun started we left there and hit Yard Sales.. I love Yard Sales, I love books... So when I find a Yard Sale with Books it is the highlight of my day.. Well I scored big time.
I bought 3 boxes of Christian Fiction books, full of all of my favorite authors, Wanda Brustetter, Judith Pella,Karen Kingsbury.. and lots more. There are probably 100 books or more total and she gave me a deal of $20.00. If I do not blog for a while, don't panic I am busy reading.
I hope you all had a wonderful day like we did here in Sunny Ohio.... Have Fun, I am!

Boss!
Boss, Do you have a Boss? I am a "Self" employed Home Daycare Provider. I work in my "Own" home. I am "Self" Employed. Therefore I should not have a "Boss".. Right???
Goodness, sometimes that is not true, or so it seems to me.
Yesterday, 6 kiddos playing in toy room, taking turns going potty, gettting shoes on and keeping theirselves occupied while I hurry and throw a Homemade Turkey Pot Pie in the oven. I am hurrying because the sun is shining and we want to go outdoors.
Parent arrives with kiddos number 7. Final kiddo arrival of the day. She says to me... "Don't you think You should be Outside?" ERRRRRR!!!!!!!
Yes, I think we should be outside... Yes, I want to be outside, Yes, I want all of these little monkey's outdoors to breathe all of that fresh air, Yes Yes Yes..... and we are working on it.. BOSS.... but you have 1 kid and I now have 7 its 10:30 in the morning and I am only 1 person... and now you have taken my perfectly nice sunshiny day and made me a not so happy person.... Thank You Boss.....
oh goodness really I guess I was mostly flustered because that is where we wanted to be and then her saying it just Erked me big time...
I of course was nice and just replied, Yes I do think we should be outside, and Yes we are headed that way.
Heres the good news, We went outside and it was wonderful, The Sun was shining, The birds were singing,(actually they were telling us to go back inside so they could eat all the bird food in the bird feeders we filled).
It was a beautiful thing going outside with the 7 kiddos. I hope it happens again today, Only 3 kiddos today YEAH!! and no BOSS.

Mothers Day Giveaway!!
Mother's Day Giveaway!!!
You will want to stop over at www.5minutesforMom.com
They are having a terrific giveaway!
Check it out.
Sunshine, Beautiful Sunshine.
OH, I feel like breaking out in Song today.. Luckily for all of you if I do you can not hear me.. It wouldn't be pretty. Pretty is what it is outside today. Absolutely Gorgeous. The Sun is shining, The Birds are all singing, The Tulips and Daffodils are blooming..
I have a houseful of kiddos today, We were outside for quite a while this morning. As soon as naptime is over we will be heading back out for some more of the glorious Sunshine.
My Wee Babe has decided in the last 2 weeks that he is no longer going to take a morning nap.. Now Wee Babe and I are disagreeing on whether or not he still NEEDS to take a morning nap. He is only 9 months old.. He NEEDS a morning nap, I NEED him to take a morning nap. ( This is when I drink my cuppa tea). I hope I win this battle.. We shall see, today it wasn't bad enough he took no morning Nap he didn't go to sleep until 1:30 for his afternoon nap. He arrives at my house by 7:05 so he has probably been up since at least 6:15. The little guy just doesn't think he is a baby. He thinks he is a Big Boy and they don't take morning naps. He hasn't taken a bottle here for over 6 weeks.. He won't.. He drinks from a sippy..
Ok.. enough about the Wee Babe, I am going to have my belated cup of tea and get ready to go out in the sunshine.
Have a beautiful day everyone.

Yep, I did it.. What would you do???
Ok as some of you know it was my birthday yesterday. I tend to be a procrastinator. I know it, I know I should quit. But heck why do it today when it can be done tomorrow is sometimes my theme in life. Ok.. so when it is your birthday and you own vehicles you have to get new "Tags"(stickers) for your car. I had to get the new stickers and put off doing it until yesterday. If I had not done it yesterday they would of expired at midnight last night and I would of been driving illegally.
Now, it really is not "Rocket Science" to replace the sticker, You make sure the old sticker is either off, or all nice and clean and dry and then you replace the new sticker right over the top of the old sticker.( At least this is how I do it.... NORMALLY). Ok.. It was pouring down rain when I arrived to get my new stickers yesterday. I arrived home in the rain storm and decided to just leave the new stickers in the car and replace them when it wasn't raining cats and dogs.
So now today I need to be in Carline to pick up the 2 kiddos from school. Run out to the car in the RAIN and HAIL and see the new stickers on the seat of the car. I pause a moment and think should I or shouldn't I.. What's the chances I will get caught. Decided that I best not risk getting a ticket, jump out with a paper towel, clean old sticker, apply new sticker, get back in car and proceed down drive way.. Soaking wet but hey legal.
Going down the driveway, it occurs to me that there might be a problem... So I jump out, look at license plate and new sticker, Slap self on forehead, and Groan...
Could it be that I was that stupid... No Way!!! I mean I just paid $34.50 for that sticker I would not of been stupid enough to have stuck it in the wrong place... YES!!! YES!! I did, see we also have a sticker that has the County Number on it... You guessed it I am driving a mini van around now with 2 expiration stickers on it.. one for 09, one for 10.
My dilemma is do I call and see if I can get a new sticker and if so for how much. Or do I just risk riding around with two stickers one already expired and take my chances of getting caught by the police.
I figure if I get caught the police might believe I am just that Dumb... plus when they see the number of the county I live in, they will without a doubt just assume YES I am that dumb.. People in our county are not always known for being overly Smart.
What would you do???
Oh, Goodness never a dull moment.. Ever..

Guess what I just found!!!????
Guess What I just found??? Go ahead Guess , you will never Guess. You probably think I have found some wonderful giveaway, some new fantastic blog to follow, something fantastic to share with all of you..
No, That's not what I found, What I found is WATER!!!! That's right remember the Its Raining Its Pouring.. well apparently it rained right into my basement. I have approximately 6 inches or more of WATER in my basement. Now I have lived in this house almost 4 years, and only once have I ever had a puddle size spot of water.
So you can imagine my surprise when I just went down to work on Laundry to find Inches and Inches of Water in the basement.
I guess the fun begins as soon as the kiddos either go home or when my mom or aunt arrive to keep an eye on them while I go down and try to figure that mess out. I hope I don't get electrocuted or anything.. Geez... Ok.. hmmm first I will have to try to figure out if it is safe to wade through the 6 inches of water so I can begin clean up. Fun... Feel Free to stop by if you would like to help...
Have Fun!!!

Its Raining, Its Pouring!!!
Wow, Spring in Ohio is one thing... WET!!! It has rained here for 2 straight days. Now just so you know I would rather it is raining instead of snowing. I would really love to see some Sunshine. I hope it happens tomorrow. I only have 3 kiddos all day. School is on a 2 hour delay so it would be a perfect day for a walk to take the niece to school and then play at the nice dry fenced in Tennis courts. We could take balls, bubbles and chalk and have a fantastic time.
I am finally I think getting over the cold. Still coughing non stop. Haven't been out of the house except to pick the girls up from school today. Whoo I hope it is almost over.
My aunt is here staying with us for a month. So nice to have her here. She lives about 400 miles away so a long stay is great.
Has anyone else fell in love with The Presidential Family's new pet? I think that Bo is the cutest puppy. I love his White paws. Too cute. Puppies, I love all puppies.
Cute Kiddo story today...
Kiddos are laid down for nap, Chubba sits up.. Aunt Rene he says" Yes I reply" You really should go to Tractor Supply he says. I am like What for Chubba.. Chubba says Cause they have the cutest little baby chicks there. You can hold them and they are so soft and cute... Awwww... I would love to go.. He then added, you can even Buy them... NO WAY!!! they grow into big ole chickens.. I will pass thanks.
Well have a fantastic day. Keep your fingers crossed that there is no rain tomorrow.

Bake Sale Today!!!
Today is our Relay for Life bake sale. I am busy baking this morning. I am on my second loaf of Applesauce Oatmeal bread. I have Paula Deen's Georgia Peanut Butter Candy in the refrigerator setting up to have chocolate poured over its peanut butter yumminess. And then I am going to make a couple of pans of pans of Apple Crisp.
I hope they all sell and makes lots of money. My niece Susie made little adorable Easter Egg cakes they are super cute and will taste great. I know my SIL has made No Bakes, My sisters have been whipping up batches of Sugar Cookies, and Chocolate Chip. My youngest Sis is at home making up a batch of her famous OREO cookie Truffles. They are delectable.
I am thinking maybe I better make some brownies, I don't know if anyone else has made them. Hmmmm.. Brownies sound good, Triple Chocolate Brownies are a favorite.
Have a Great Day Everyone, I am off to bake some more.

Wow What a Crazy Ohio Day!
What a Crazy Day today has been. The weather in the last 24 hours just plain Crazy, Thunder, Rain, Snow, Sun (limited but a little). It is snowing now. I hate that all of my beautiful Daffodils are blooming and it is Snowing, Crazy.
The Toshiba is still down and out, mostly because I just haven't felt like taking it anywhere else or calling anyone else to get it fixed yet. I will be working on that in the next day or so.
I am right now concentrating on KICKING this cold in the behind. I had it last week, thought it was gone, and KABOOM down and out worse than ever. Hey you know I don't feel good if I haven't entered any giveaways, I am coughing and runny nose. Yucky!!!
Today was such a blessing I only had one kiddos. Mr. L.. thankfully Mr. L spent the entire weekend with Grandma and Grandpa. Gpa dropped him off and apologized for wearing the poor boy out.. NO really Gpa.. Thank you very much.. So we read books, watched some Little Bear and then The Princess came to play with him for a bit. I love watching them play, we all run out and buy expensive toys and honestly we don't need them.
We have a bowl with I believe there are 24 wooden red, white, and blue cut out stars in it. It is a decoration in the living room, not a toy... but.... anything can become a toy for a 3 year old boy and an almost 2 year old girl. They played with those stars for over 30 minutes. Stacking them up and letting them fall. The giggles made it worth a million dollars. So much fun... If only life was always that easy.
Well everyone have fun, I will be back to blogging, hosting a giveaway, and entering some too as soon as this Cough is gone.

Spring Break
It is Spring Break this week. I am so excited. Most of the kiddos that I take care of are School Teachers kids. So I will have a light load this week. I only have one little boy tomorrow. We will have fun. I am hoping to get all of the toy boxes sorted in the Daycare Room tomorrow with Mr. L's help. Also Mr. L and I will be spending some one on one time with learning to write his name.
I am sure we will be reading a few books, playing a couple of games of memory, and I will have to help build the Race Track at least 3 times. It will be fun.
Of course the weather isn't going to cooperate, I wish. I have a bit of possibly Bronchitis going to give it another day before I go to the Doctor because I feel a hundred times better this evening than I did this morning. Maybe I am kicking it.
I have been out and about hitting some giveaways at Blogs tonight. There are some great giveaways out there. I saw a Bumbleride Indie Twin.. excellent. Several Crayola giveaways, and a 6 months supply of Ragu and a cookbook from Robin Miller, diaper cakes, jewelry, See Kai Run shoes, Eleven Shoes, all kinds of goodies.
Does anyone else love to enter the giveaways besides me.. I love them, especially if I win.
Well Have fun, it is almost Easter I can't believe it.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
I am sitting at home tonight a little envious of my Brother and Brother in law. They are at the Rock and Roll hall of fame tonight for the induction ceremony. Metallica is going to be inducted in to the hall of fame tonight. Now just so we are clear, I am in no way a Metallica fan. I honestly have no feelings for Metallica either way..
Here is where the envy comes in, It is Saturday night, 8 p.m, and I am at home on my computer.. Hello so would rather be at the Rock and Roll hall of fame.
I know those guys are having an awesome time, because they are Huge Metallica fans. I am so glad they had the opportunity to go they are hard working fellows who have great families and are good at taking care of the family and they deserve the night off... hehehehehe I had to say that for my Sister in Law and Sister who are stuck at home on Saturday night...
Update on the Toshiba........ It is not a Virus, I repeat it is not a Virus... So if anyone would know why suddenly my laptop will not let me into Internet Explorer please let me know. I took it and had it tested today and they said it is Virus Free. They offered to check it out some more and possibly fix it for the sum of $149.00 whoooo.. that is a lot of dough right now. Hopefully the I can fix a Toshiba laptop fairy will find its way to my house and wave its magic wand. Keep your fingers crossed.
Also, Stellan update, keep praying he has been in and out of SVT several times today. McKMama is pretty stressed and so thankful for everyone who is praying for her sweet baby and her family.

3 Bags Full Sale!!
Wow, Have you ever been to a 3bag full sale. Awesome, my mom, sister M3 and I were watching the news tonight, and they started talking about the 3 Bags Full Sale that was starting at 6:30 in a town about 25 minutes from us..
Well M3 and I were bored, so off we went in the Montana.. We arrived to a packed building at the fairgrounds. Now we all know I don't have kids, but if you do this is a great sale for you. It is a Huge Consignment sale. Toys, baby furniture, clothes, strollers, everything you can imagaine.
Prices well once again I don't have kids, so prices were good (I managed to leave with a huge bag of stuff for $24.00). They are having a couple more of these sales within an hour of us. I would probably go especially if you have children. Things were new and used. They probably had about 200 Melissa and Doug puzzles and things all new, and marked down I believe they were like 35 % off and more. Also you can take your stuff to sell, of course you have to do this ahead of time, You earn 65% to 80% the price that you sell your items for, and you apparently get to name your own price. Which explains why there were similar items, similar condition with different prices.
The clothes I didn't see anything marked over $15.00 that was brandnew 3 piece Gymboree outfit, and saw things as low as a $1.00. Now if you want to find the bargains have M3 go with you.. She is a pro. She could find the cheap stuff.
Mostly it was fun to have a night out. We stopped and grabbed a pizza from my M2's pizza shop, and came home.. Great fun!

Wow, What a Week
This week has definitely had its moments. Everything from the beloved Toshiba crashing, (still not working). To winning the beloved Bumbleride Queen B stroller.
I am hoping to get the Toshiba to some help tomorrow, it needs some serious 911.
The Bumbleride Queen B, I can't wait for it to arrive, yesterday it was an absolutely beautiful spring day just the kind of day for the Queen B.
The kiddos and I played outside some in the morning, but the afternoon we ended up stuck inside, When I picked up the 2 girls from school there was a gentleman sitting on the corner with his legs in the road(very busy road) smoking a cigarette with his thumb out. Now, I am not afraid of people, I am a people person. I know most people in our town or at least have seen them. This gentleman wasn't from our town I don't believe. He was hitch hiking sitting down which is a site I have never seen.
Things were not right, I was not comfortable taking 5 children out in my back yard to play with this gentleman sitting acrossed the street. So I called the police station, after he had been there for about 15 minutes, and asked if they would just check him out. Of course no problem. I figured if nothing else if the gentleman needed help they could take care of that, plus he wasn't safe with his legs stretched out in the road. I felt better after the police came, they did take him, but not in cuffs or anything so maybe he just had broke down or something and needed a kind helping hand.
I feel bad that I was so wary of him, I can remember a time I would of asked him if he needed something. Hmmm wondering now, would that of been stupid, or not...kindness not what it used to be.
Have a great day everyone.
Remember to keep praying for Baby STellan and the Mckfamily.

The Virus!!!
It has happened..... The Toshiba Laptop has caught some kind of Virus...I am not able to open Internet Explorer at all on the Laptop.. So this means I am resorting to using Old Faithful. The HP upstairs that is about 7 years old. Good computer, slower than most, but Faithful.
I am hoping the gentleman in our town who has fixed computers for me before calls and lets me know if he has time to look at the Laptop which is just a little over a year old.
My blogging will be cut in down by about 3/4's because usually I use the Laptop during naptime to hit all the blogs and see what is new in the world.
I will miss you all, all the coupons, money saving hints, household hints, family news, giveaways, BooHoo!!! I am sad.. This is a horrible way to have to get over my addiction.
So I will be back.. Give me time...
Have a Wonderful Time and watch out for those nasty bugs..
