Well the first week of school is over and the kids have a 3 day weekend. They were all happy with the teachers they got and the friends that they had in their rooms. Only one of them came home mad. That was my youngest son, the angry child anyway. He’s the one that always finds something to complain about. His major complaint……….the sun comes in his room after lunch and is right in his eyes. Guess he had to find something to gripe about. Oh well, such is life in my house with me and my three.
Lawyers for Employers
When my friends Linda and Michael were thinking about starting their own landscaping business, I encouraged them to hire a lawyer that would be able to be their official “business lawyer” that could help them with all aspects of running a business. A good business lawyer can help them decide whether to incorporate (and which kind of incorporation is the best one for the business, and can act as the employer’s representation when it comes to matters involving employees and the law. I hope they take my advice and don’t try to do everything by themselves! Sometimes being penny-wise is being pound-foolish!

Venetian masks
Women love to decorate, at least most women do. It is a passion we all share when it comes to making our house a home. Finding new and unique ways to make our home look amazing is a task that can be very daunting. Whether it is because of money, time or just indecision, this process can sometimes take a while. Here are a few ideas to help you decorate your home with style.
Some people like to use a theme for their decorating style. These can be great so long as you go for something really unique and not something that has been done over and over by everyone you know.

Build your own Cob home
I am glad that these skills are coming back today. Learning to build a cob home is relatively easy and is amazingly cheap to do. If your friends help you, they learn new techniques that are really helpful to them as well. It is a very green way to build and is very sturdy in comparison to some of the materials that are used today for most wood frame houses. I have been studying this for a while now and would really like to try it someday. I may start with a cob outbuilding for my property, or something like that. We shall see.
Besties
I hate it when my friends move away. One of my besties moved to Oklahoma and it really sucks that I cannot see her and the kids anymore. She called me and told me she found a Native American shop that sells authentic Native art. She is sending me a piece to a set she decided to buy for me. I love her so much. She does little things like that and it makes me miss her that much more. I hope she comes home to visit soon.
New web based business
I am starting a new web based business. First I am getting all of my ducks in a row, so I know exactly where I am going and what I am doing. Then I will begin to build this business. In my efforts to find an advertising company to help with my own ad campaign, I have found a great many to choose from. I am going to go with a pay per click agency. This will help generate traffic to my new site and spread the word, so to speak about what I am selling.
I can also become a publisher with the ad company and generate more money for myself and my friends who do the same thing I do. It is an amazing opportunity for me and I am very excited to begin such an endeavor. I have four other friends who are considering their own web based businesses too. Three of them are stay at home moms with lots of time on their hands to dedicate to it. It is also a plus when you have kids to be able to make more money. Kids are expensive to raise, and we like to give them as much as we can.
