Georgia Rain

Hi all!  This song by Josh Kadison says it all about how I feel about my little ones (okay, so none of them are named Jesse, but still, they are my EVERYTHING).  Check out how much fun they had playing out in the "Georgia Rain."  TTFN!

XOXO,

Kim

Don't forget, today is the LAST day to enter my Cicale T Designs necklace giveaway.

Trying to Figure "It" Out...

Hi all!  For the past 36 days I've been reading "A Purpose Driven Life."  I've had it for years now, but just haven't been able to devote the time it deserves, or so I thought.  More likely, I lacked the discipline or just wasn't open to what I needed to learn.  I'm glad I've waited until now, because I am open to what it says and, even more importantly, have been able to share some moving passages with others who needed the encouragement.  What has been learned, you may be asking.  Simply put, it isn't all about me, my wants, my needs.  It's about what I can do for others. 

This blog was started as a way to express myself, my creativity, and will continue to be used for that, but there is so much more happening with it.  I may not be as popular as some of the other bloggers (which made me feel inferior for a while), but I am building relationships and able to help people in so many ways.  It makes me feel good to be in the background connecting people and helping them to reach their potential.  That is what it is about.  I'm not going to list my "good deeds," as they are not important.  What is important, is focusing on what can be done for others.  Does that mean I let others walk over me?  Heck, no.  I'm a strong woman.  It's just I've realized my strength comes in the form of being in the background.  The one quietly getting it done.

Just wanted to share this little piece of my heart with all of you.  Are you trying to figure "it" out?  Do you know where you are going?  What are your strengths?  TTFN!

XOXO,

Kim

Cicale T Designs Giveaway

Necklace Giveaway!

Hi all!  Hope your Friday is going well.  We finally finished school here yesterday, so we have spent most of today trying to reorganize the classroom/office.  Just wanted to remind everyone you only have a few more days to enter the giveaway for a Cicale T Designs necklace.  This one, in fact...

Here is a little information about the wonderful designer, Tami Cicale. She has always had a love for design and creating unique spaces and that passion translated into jewelry design about a year ago after attending a party where everyone was buying the same overpriced pieces. She started by taking jewelry making classses and her passion has grown from there. Her pieces incorporate only the highest quality materials: stones, gems, crystals and metals. Best of all, she only makes one of each piece -- they are all ORIGINALS! She has shown and sold her work in the Maryland/ Washington DC area, Florida and New York and is now expanding her clientele via the Etsy community. You can check out her site HERE. To me, what makes her even work even more amazing, is she has a full-time job, is a wife and a mommy. Kuddos to anyone who can balance it all and put their creative energy to good use!

The contest runs through May 18th at midnight EST. The winner will be chosen on May 19, my mom's big birthday!!




To enter:


You must follow this blog (let me know if you already do) and comment below about your favorite piece from Cicale T Designs.

For one (1) extra entry each you can share this giveaway on Facebook, Twitter (@4kidlets) or on your own blog with a copy of the link here. Just let me know the number of entries.

Good luck to all!! TTFN!

XOXO,

Kim

Lazy Days of Summer?

Hi all!  Hope this finds all of you doing well.  Crazy busy here!  Today is Ittybit's last day of preschool and Eldest Son may actually finish 5th grade today -- we'll see.  I've never seen anyone take so long to finish up a year!!  I think his head is already on summer break, so getting him to finish up these last three exams is darn near impossible!!!

Just wanted to remind you time is running out on my necklace giveaway, so enter now.  Just click HERE for the details.  Also, today is the second day of Fabulous Fun Finds silent auction.  Go check it out!  There are several items I'll be placing bids on later in the day!!

Well, better run and get our picnic ready for this afternoon.  TTFN!

XOXO,

Kim

PS:  Don't forget about the GREAT necklace giveaway I'm holding!!!  Go HERE for all the details.  Hurry, giveaway ends May 18!

OMG! Where Did the Day Go?

Hi all!  Didn't I just wake up?  How can it already be late afternoon?!  Argh!  Now that it's getting close to making dinner time, I only have a few moments to share a couple of things with you.  First of all, here is a great link to The Life of a Suburban Princess and her monogram giveaway.  You must check it out!!

Also, I found the cutest site for sending the most adorable email stationery!  Please check out Paperless Post.  In fact, I just sent a friend a gorgeous thank you email and didn't feel too guilty that it was "only" an email.  You can design the cards and the envelopes, etc.  They also offer email invitations, as well as other stationery.  While not the same as putting pen to paper, it is far better than a plain email.  I know some of my friends would just love to receive letters only this way!  Think of how green you could be.

Please don't forget that starting tomorrow Fabulous Fun Finds will be starting their silent auction to benefit her sister's family which lost their daughter to SIDS in March.  As I said yesterday, I'll be bidding!  Also, don't forget about my giveaway that ends on May 18.  Click HERE for the details!

Well, got to go and make dinner -- spaghetti, meatballs and sausages!  Yum, yum!!  TTFN!

XOXO,

Kim
