A New Bug Spray

Well, as I was reading 2nd Cup of Coffee, her most recent post was about a little girl that she watched grow up into a woman, and this girl has started a blog! So being curious I decided to check her blog out, and she posted a blog about a New Bug Spray, or a way to kill mosquitos! So I had to pass it along to all of you!

http://becauseitsgoodforyou.blog.com/2010/07/08/38/ check out the blog post on using listerine to kill mosquitos!

Lots of Love,
Cae

A Random Dozenless June







I was recently informed, okay I was looking for the Random Dozen questions for this week on Lidna's blog, and saw that there will be no Random Dozens for the month of June! Lid is burned out, and hopefully will be coming back in July with a "New and Improved" Random Dozen! So I'm giong to apologize ahead of time for me not being as good as I usually am for Wednesday blog posts, but I will try my best! Until July, you're gonna have to bear with me on Wednesdays, now if Linda at Mocha with Linda takes the month of June off, then I'm in serious blogging trouble!! So there will be no linking to Mr. Linky today :(

Random Dozen!

Today, my mom found a Random Dozen on 2nd Cup of Coffee. My mom posted it on her blog, Just Call Me Woman, and I found it intresting, so I'll post it on here.

1.Candy corn: Your thoughts? It’s amazing!

2. Briefly, what was the first conversation you ever had with your spouse? (or best friend, if you're not married.) (Or someone significant, like your librarian.) ummm. . .Best Friend I don’t remember (sorry Em), but my new librarian, would be when we moved into the town, and I begged my mother to drive me to the library, I asked the librarian if I could Volunteer, and let’s just say teenage volunteers in our town aren’t what they used to be in CT.

3. Could you ever become a vegetarian? I don’t think so, I like meat a little too much.

4. Have you ever dressed up your pet in a costume? No, but I have thought about it.

5. Name something about childhood that you miss (like Clark Bars, Teaberry Gum, Malibu Barbie, cracking fake eggs on people's heads with your fist and "It's the Great Pumpkin" airing only once a year).
I’m still in my childhood! But I would put down . . . Being a cute little Girl Scout :-p

6. Have you ever won a trophy? If not, what do you deserve a trophy for? The most recent trophy would be my Marksmanship 4th class, in Rifle.

7. When do you think is the appropriate time to begin playing Christmas music each year? On December 25th ONLY!

8. What's your favorite board game? Monopoly

9. How do you feel about surprises (receiving, not giving)? I love them!

10. Is it easy for you to say, "I'm sorry?" Yes a little too easy.

11. What is your favorite candle scent? Pumpkin Pie

12. October is traditionally "open house" time in public schools. If you had a literal open house in your home (like a reception) what light snacks would you serve visitors and what would you show them (as in art projects, graded papers) that would uniquely represent you? I would serve. . .Hot Apple Cider and what would I show? Hmmmm Books, Horses, Books, and Music.

Cake Wrecks

I'm sure we have all screwed up a cake in some way or some how . . .Like having the top two layers fall off? We'll here is a blog that my mom found. This site Cake Wrecks is devoted to showing cakes with issues. If you need a laught go look at cakes that could be better. I hope you enjoy. : )

"Like having the top two layers fall off" - - -Hmmm! that seems very specific. I wonder if that happened to anyone DD knows. (She actually won first prize with that cake too --- a very long but funny story)

The best thing about this site is sharing it with someone. I looked at it once by myself, but laughed even harder when I shared it with her. We also enjoyed It's Lovely! I'll Take it!

Welcome to our Blog

Just what I need another blog. I’m having a hard enough time keeping up with my others, but how do you refuse a teenager that wants to spend time with you and commits to total parental control. So needless to say, DD and I will by creating this blog together. Truthfully, she has developed a great writing voice which I look forward to seeing her develop further.
Dd is just entering the teenage years. She is 13 years old and will be posting an introduction of her own.

I am as my profile says a 30 something mother of two children. My husband and I have chosen to homeschool our children. We are in a bit of transition. My husband changed jobs in February and I left mine in April. DH has been working at his previous job for 18 years and I was there since I was old enough to see over the counter. It was my family’s business. Unfortunately, things change and we have to move on. In this case, we are going to have to literally move too. When my husband and I bought the house we live in now, we thought it would be our forever house, but now we are packing it up. I enjoy scrapbooking, reading, and travel. You can read more about me in my profile.

So along with this craziness, I am blogging. DD thought that this was a very interesting idea and wanted to join in. So we have worked together to create “A Cup of Tea with Mom and Me” (to see how we came up with the name – see C’s entry, “Naming Our Blog”). We will both be posting on the many mother / daughter activities, trials, and triumphs in our life. So that you can tell who posted what, we will sign our posts: C is DD and D is Dawn, me. Only my email will show, but I will happily forward appropriate emails to her.

We hope that you will take a few minutes and join us for a cup of tea.

Naming our Blog

Okay, this is what I would think is one of the easiest things to do in the world, but it has taken me forever to name this blog. I asked my mom if we could do a blog together and I thought like a writer’s block, or something, but now we are having fun doing it. Sure I still haven’t figured out the name for the blog, but I love writing about all of this. I have thought of a name, but we want it to involve that this is a mother daughter blog………which it is, but I can’t think of how to put that into the name. Every day she would ask “Have you thought of one yet?” and I would always respond with the simple two letter word “No”, but I still can’t figure it out.

I would usually look at someone who is trying to find a name and just give them one ‘like duh’ type of thing, but now I can’t think of one and I want it to be good. Plus I want people to look at the name and say “Hey that looks like a cool blog. Lets read it.” Just like I do with my mom when she looks through people that blog about the same thing she dose.

I think I have the name ‘A Cup of Tea with Mom & Me’ I like it and it explains that it is kind of about our life, since when you have tea that is what you do. You catch up on this in each others life. I think this will be the name for the blog. So if you’re reading this on A Cup of Tea With Mom & Me blog. Well I think you know how it played out. :)
