Pay It Forward


I saw this cool idea on Ten Kids And A Dog.

The Pay It Forward Exchange....
is based on the concept of the movie “Pay it Forward”.

I will send a hand made gift to the first three people who leave a comment to this post on my blog requesting to join the PIF exchange.

All the gifts will be made and posted out "sometime within the next year".
How exciting to not know when your surprise package will arrive!
What you need to do in return is pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog.
This Exchange is only open to those with active websites or blogs.


ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS PROMISE TO POST THE SAME PAY IT FORWARD PICTURE AND THIS MESSAGE ONTO YOUR BLOG, WHICH MUST BE ACTIVE IN ORDER TO PLAY. YOU WILL PAY IT FORWARD TO THREE PEOPLE WHO COMMENT ON YOUR BLOG.


Sugar On Snow



Yesterday, we went to Palmers Sugar House for a first time experience of sugar on snow. My mom said I went to a sugar house when I was younger, but I don't remember it, so this was like the first time for me and the boys. Though unfortunately, Brayden had no interest at all of being there. Tristan like checking everything elese around instead of the maple syruping process. Jayden on the other hand couldn't get enough of sugar on snow and the maple cotton candy. Even thought it didn't quite go as well as planned, it still was fun!

Here's Jayden having a wonderful time

Friday Fill In's - March 27, 2009



This week, I took the first sentence in 6 of my favorite books...you fill them in...with the right words or even better, ones of your own.

And...here we go!

1. "In a hole in the ground there lived an ant and his colony."

2. "I have two left feet, but that ain't no matter."

3. "After dark the rain began to fall again, and the air became cool."

4. "As I looked down to see, I spotted a journal that was found from the hold of the Spanish galleon."

5. "There was a hand in the darkness, and I reached for it, hesitatingly."

6. "Accidents ambush the unsuspecting, which causes a turn of events."

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to pizza night with my family, tomorrow my plans include dinner with my brother & sister in-law and Sunday, I want to enjoy my first sugar on snow experience!

Aloha Friday - March 27, 2009


In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day they take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would participate and take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.

If you’d like to participate, just post your own question on your blog and leave your link at An Island Life. Don’t forget to visit the other participants! It’s a great way to make new bloggy friends!

My question for this week is:

What is one thing scientists should invent?


I think scientist need to invent a devise that would read any kind of book so, when you are eyes start hurting and need a rest, you can still listen/read your book.
