Last Saturday's bazaar was pretty busy, but not as busy as I would have liked! We gave out lots of free samples of Shaklee's Basic-H2 so maybe we'll hear back from people later... All the vendors were excited to be there so that was a fun energy to feed off of!

I realized how tiring it can be to meet lots of new people when my present reality involves taking care of two small children. They need their alone time so I don't have to interact with them face to face for 5 hours like working a bazaar requires. I love meeting people, don't get me wrong...it's not something I've been building up endurance towards lately!!!

I have another bazaar this Saturday with a new crew of gals! It should be fun!!! This Monday night is another bazaar, but also a fundraiser for a pre-school so hopefully that'll bring a different crowd of customers too!

Shaklee's not exactly a one-time fun type of gift. It's more a general, long-term emphasis on good health. Sometimes, people just don't want to get healthy... I love my ice cream & potato chips too, but I like knowing that if I'm "bad" one day with my food choices, at least I took some high quality vitamins that may make up for my choice to yes, in fact, eat potato chips after I've just eaten a bowl of chocolate ice cream...hee! hee!

Elliot is almost walking two-three steps at a time more than one time a day! He'll be 11 months old tomorrow! Wow! He can really book it up the stairs too and I may have to get that gate out to block him... So far he hasn't tried to come down by himself. When he starts doing that, I'll need to be extra vigilant!!!

Claire is skipping afternoon naps....or maybe I'm allowing her to skip them so she doesn't go too bed too late at night!!! We get a grumpy girl at night, but at least she doesn't go to bed a 11pm! Potty training isn't even a daily occurrence so we'll see when that happens...maybe after the holidays.

Wow! One week 'til Thanksgiving... I'm excited for Christmas... It'll be nice this year. Last year was a blur since Elliot was born December 17th... I think I slept through the end of December! Then it rained and rained....35 days straight I think from December 18th until whenever. We had the best view from our 9th floor hospital room window of the storm coming in from the south. It snowed, was stormy, then rained! I can put into words how beautiful it was to have a newborn in my arms and my husband at my side in the warmth and safety of a hospital room... Babies are miracles and so are beautiful snow storms when everyone is safe and snug at home...

Hey Sarah... you need a more interesting background. This one is boring and doesn't let your personality shine thru at all! :o)

See you on Saturday at R's!

My Photo
Name:
Location: Beaverton, Oregon, United States

I was a French teacher for four years, a life-long dream achieved. Now, I'm taking a serious break to raise a family. I go to a United Methodist Church regularly with my husband, daughter and son. For my future ideal job, I'd love to travel the world eating in great restaurants and write food reviews!!! Someday I'd like to live on the Oregon Coast and be a translator for French tourists! However, in the meantime I'm earning a substantial income with Jewels by Park Lane, subbing & Shaklee!
