Thanks Thanks and Thanks

Today I am thankful for whole family. How wonderful they really are and how lucky I am that they are very loving, fun, and supportive!

Thanks Thanks and Thanks

Every day this month until Thanksgiving, think of one thing that you are thankful for and post it. Either make it your status on your facebook, myspace or put it on your blog. "Today I am thankful for..." The longer you do it, the harder it gets! Now if you think you can do it then repost this message to invite others to take the challenge, then post what YOU are thankful for today.

Keeping the Kiddos Occupied!

Are you planning an event of any kind that involves children or need something to occupy your little one? Then here is an inexpensive, quick and veeeery easy idea for you!

Create coloring sheets for the tikes to be occupied with.

If you are planning a Wedding and want to keep the children occupied, select a clip art that would go with the theme of your Wedding. Celebrating your Child's Birthday and need an activity for them to do? Try this!

For Boston's birthday we will be doing a Circus theme and print outs will be of circus animals in action. These little works of art are keeping the kiddos occupied and giving you a new piece to hang on the fridge!

What you will need:
You need a program that gives you a Clip Art option, such as Microsoft Word. You'll need black ink in the printer, paper and crayons of course!

If you want to take it one step further and laminate the coloring sheets, you'll either need to take them to a Kinkos or store alike and have them laminated or invest in your own machine. You'll also need non-toxic dry eraser markers instead of crayons.


I hope you enjoy!!

Finance update

About a month ago, I posted something about reaching your finance goals. I am proud to say that my husband and I reached our first goal of painting our home! Now, we'll be saving up for decorating and then of course, our larger goals of paying off a credit card and vehicles! If you didn't get to see the Finance Post, click here and check it out!

Changes are coming!

This morning I am having another Marketing Meeting and we will be discussing some big changes for "The Nifty Mom's Notebook". We have big plans in the works and I'm very excited and can not wait to share. This past week has been a little crazy with Marketing meetings, a Birthday get-away, my Mothers Birthday and a Wedding today. Next week is filled with excitement! Filming for the new cooking web-isode will be on Sunday and Wednesday!!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!

Home Sweet Home

We are officially home today and it is so sad to say that Vacation is officially over tomorrow. So today we have tons of laundry and catching up to do and later having a delicious meat loaf dinner tonight at my parents house!
Sooner than later, Saturday will be here and off to Jacksonville we go for a Reeby Family Gathering.

Pictures from our GA Vacation have been posted on Facebook and I'm working my way around to getting them on here!

My very first Cooking Show should be ready and posted in a couple of weeks and a I will be having a Pre-Production meeting within the week for Cooking Show Numero Dos. I am super excited for big things to come and can not WAIT to share them!!


Boston ready to head out of Florida on his first road trip!!
We have arrived...The GA House

Coming Soon!!

Friday was an amazing and yet busy day! I filmed my very first cooking segment and it was a blast. Crazy how you never really know how much work goes just into lighting until you watch it being done. Jesse Adair is head of the project and he really is and has done an amazing job. So many "thank you's" sent (and still sending) his way! Once we get into the swing of things, the cooking segments will be posted more often. Below are more pictures of our wonderful day!

A great haircut!

Gooood Morning everyone! Before I even noticed, Wednesday has arrived! New recipes are in the works along with grand ideas!

On Sunday I went to Mia and Maxx at Tyrone Square Mall in Pinellas County and Tara did my hair. She did such an awesome job changing up my hair and giving me the "mom" haircut that I needed! Still trendy and yet easy to take care of, fix and most of all maintain!! Want highlights but don't have the time to keep retouching them? Well, Tara fixed that. We darkened my hair a tinge to bring out my blues (and sometimes greens) and placed blonde highlights in the midsection that peek out. Subtle yet very stunning. Updating my color won't be an issue because the way she colored it, the color with subltly fade and so my roots will not be very apparent. This was the first phone call in a while that my family recieved after a haircut that was not filled with tears! So if you are looking for a new look, go to Mia and Maxx at Tyrone Square Mall and visit Tara! And I couldn't help but post a picture of my baby boy Boston
