The best box yet!

I have the privilege to tell others about a box of candy, no a bit of heaven, that I received in the mail a few days ago. Those who know me, know that I LOVE chocolate. This box of chocolate that came in the mail has probably been the best 'freebie' ever for this Chocolate Mongering Mom. (I'm okay with that title.) When you pull that preciously wrapped piece out of the box, you immediately start to drool.  Just knowing that the only thing that separates you and that amazing piece of chocolatey, hazelnutty, crispy wafer goodness, is a simple piece of gold foil. The foil is the perfect way to package these yummy treats, in my opinion. I liken this candy to gold, so in my little world, yea, it's the perfect wrapper.  The creamy chocolate encases a crunchy little hazelnut. That creamy chocolate is covered by a crispy little wafer and the whole  bit of heaven is dipped in more chocolate and hazelnut pieces. That right there, in my teenagers world, is 'nuff said'.  :)



Influenster and Ferrero Rocher have teamed together to give these boxes out to people who qualified for them through Influenster's site.  I am very thankful to have the opportunity to give them my feedback about such am Ah-mazing product. For this homeschooling mom, this little candy has been my treat on some days for a job done, not always well done, but done. Thank you Influenster for the opportunity to 'influence' others, and thank you to Ferrero Rocher for creating a brilliant piece of yumminess.

Adventures in Homschooling

Yep, I'm gonna do it (again). This year we are venturing in to the world of homeschooling 4 kids.  It will be fun. It will be stressful. It will drive us all insane at some point. It WILL be worth it, in the end.  I really do love having my kids at home. They are truly a joy to me, even during the times we don't really like each other. Yes, it's true. there are times when my kids dont like me and I don't like them, but we always love each other. :)

Where is my snow?

I know most everyone is sooo excited spring is here. Well, I say bah humbug. As a person who absolutely loves winter time, I got jipped people.  Here in northern Indiana, we don't usually get a huge amount of snow, but it is worth talking about some years.  I want a redo!! I love to look out my window and see everything covered in a fresh blanket of white snow.  Everything looks so pure and clean. I love to hear my kids shout and laugh riding their boards and sleds down the hill outside my bedroom window. Now I have to look at the icky brown grass that is trying to be green. Flowers are popping up and birds are chirping. Next week I may be happy about all of this, but right now, I'm hanging on to the chance to pout a little. I am still holding out hope for a big snowstorm. :)  If it happens, just let me be happy for a few days. Heck I'd even take a few hours. :)

I am seriously considering investing in duct tape.  Number one, it really is some fun stuff, with all the cool new designs.  Number two, they've made books about 1001 different things you can do with it. And (insert drum roll) number three, I can use it for when my kids aren't speaking nicely to me. :)  Okay I would never ever do that, but it makes me feel better just to type it. lol

Signing off as: the Mom who loves Duct Tape. :)

Mornings at my house

I have come to the conclusion that my house is a time warp in the mornings. :/ Does anyone else ever feel that way or its it just me?  I'm pretty sure that our clocks skip the majority of the 7 a.m. hour.  There are only three  kids to get ready at that time of day, and we still stumble out of the door at 8:10 every morning. The 6 year old is usually still putting his coat on when we pull into the driveway at school, not to mention all the spelling words, vocab words and bible verses I try to cram into their little memory. That is saying something since the school is exactly 16.2 minutes away. Not that I have timed it or anything. :)

I know, I know there are tons of ways to make a morning 'go smoother' but that would mean being prepared, and who has time for that?  Besides the fact, it would take away all the fun of being spontaneous.  That's more my style I guess and I'm okay with that. :)

This is all new

Okay, my sister in law has been after me forEVer to do a blog. I've decided to take the plunge and risk failure. :)  Think of this as a place to sit back relax and maybe laugh once in awhile. If anything, just have a chance to peer in to my pretty much boring life. lol
