Teething Tablet Recall

Thought I'd pass along the word since I know a lot of you use the homeopathic teething tablets....

The Hyland brand has been recalled. (The one with the pink/white/blue label.) The FDA says one of the ingredients is not safe in large doses. I don't know exactly what "large does" mean, I'm just passing on the facts!

Here's the link if you'd like to read more.

I'm sorry to you ladies who just had babies or are currently pregnant. Good luck with that!! ;)

Fun Thanksgiving/Christmas Crafts

Yesterday I found an awesome website that has some fantastic ideas for Thanksgiving or Christmas crafts.  It's  http://thoughtsinvinyl.blogspot.com/ I was wondering who would be interested in doing one of these fun crafts with me, I'll show some examples down below.  It's out of Idaho so if we decided to order some things we could do it all together, any order over $65 is free shipping, so if say 5 of us ordered together we wouldn't have to pay the regular $6 shipping costs.  We could have our own "Super Saturday".  So look these over and whatever else you see on the website that might interest you and let me know if you'd like to order together.  Some of the prices are sales prices so you'll want to check out the website for details.

Christmas Countdown Calendar Magnet Board $15

Reversible Block Kit $17.50 includes blocks and 2 of the 3 of these

Reversible Candy Caddy $18.50

Rotating Photo Cube Stand $15

Last Name Est. blocks $8.50

Anyway, these are just a few examples of the many projects we could do.  Just looking at these make me exicted and they look like they could be fun things we can do this Holiday Season. If you're interested, just let me know and we can decide when to order.

Ladies at Kingspoint

I wanted to address this all in person but I realized that that opportunity may not present itself for a while if at all. So I'm going to address this here and hope that everyone gets a chance to see this. I don't feel this is the most appropriate way to do this but I have to get my statement out there because I'm not one who likes to just brush things under the rug.

To start off with; for the last couple of months things have felt a little tense to me. I thought that maybe I was just imagining things but when the Phantom started in the neighborhood and I was told that many of the families were getting this Phantom more than once I started to wonder if the "tense" feelings I was sensing were in fact real and myself and a few others were in fact purposely being ostracized. Now I've talked to a few different ladies about this, did discover that there were in fact some hurt feelings out there and realized that we all needed to talk and work this out. My feelings were hurt immensly by some of the treatment I've recieved (although not hostile, when it comes from someone you consider a friend...it hurts). I need to address the Phantom issue. I think that (based on a lot of comments I've gotten) after I posted my C- comment on Facebook that lot of ladies were under the impression I was just being a poor sport about not getting the Phantom. That is far from the truth. I was hurt because to me the Phantom was physical evidence that something was wrong and I was, apparently, on the outs with my neighbors. So I was more upset about discovering that there may be some underlying issues.

Now I have heard rumors that I (along with others) have stepped on some toes. I can assure you that this was not done intentionally. I really do enjoy living in the neighborhood, love my neighbors and have never wanted to do anything to harm anyone's feelings. So please understand, those of you that I've hurt that it was never my intention to hurt you. I don't know exactly what I've done nor do I know exactly who I've hurt. That is why I wanted to address this.

I just want to be friends. So from the bottom of my heart I appologize for any hurt feelings out there. Again, it was never my intention to harm any of you. I would love nothing more than to just be friends and forget about this whole misunderstanding. Please accept my sincerest appologies.

Just thought I would share...

Here are some pictures from our party the other day. I decided to post them here, since not everyone is on facebook and/or reads my personal blog. Feel free to copy them to your computer...your kiddos looked ADORABLE!

Sorry if I missed some kiddos, but I am sure I will take more at the chili cook-off.

Thanks to everyone who worked hard at making this so much fun for the little ones.

I know they had a great time!

Ladies Night?

Do you think that maybe we should have a ladies night?
I think that maybe with all the things have come to light in the past few days that perhaps some of us could benefit from it.
What does everyone think?

You're Invited!

Kingspointe Halloween Costume Party!

Friday, October 15th

10:00am-12:00pm

At the Church (unless otherwise updated...)

*Feel free to bring a treat/game/craft of choice or just come and enjoy! There will be 30+ kids (no, that was not a typo!) and their moms, so there will be no shortage of excitement! Can't wait to see you there!

I'm a little sad....

...about the extremely lame comments for the Halloween party. (TO CLARIFY: # of comments = lame; people who commented = totally unlame!)

I guess it will be on Friday, October 15th (10 am -ish?) and we have offers from the following ladies:

Julie: game?

Marcy: help with food or game?

Rachael: lunch

Chelsea: craft

Kristin: treat craft?

That is what I gathered from the comments made. Correct me if I'm wrong or if I left anyone out! Besides the ladies above, these lovely ladies want to attend:

Jana (+2)

Jessica (+3)

Really? That's all?!

Ladies! I know you can do better than this!!!

The more the merrier, so if anyone didn't respond to the last post and still wants to come - now's your chance! Leave a comment so we know how many crafts/games/meals to plan for. Hope to see you all there :)
