The End of the Road

My ex's niece graduates from nursing school this year. I've been looking at the new style of women’s lab coats I've seen online - I think I'll get her some. A few of those a maybe a pair of medical clogs because I know how comfy those are!

I bet you're wondering why Id buy my 'ex' niece a graduation gift? Well, my ex's family is still like an extended family to me. In fact, he and I get along so much better now that we're divorced. Only one thing that bothers me, he smokes around Miss. Independent and I hate the fact that she breathes in the second hand smoke.

Well, he says he fixed that problem - he is currently toting around an electronic cigarette which is, ummm, different. I'll have to check more into those things. Supposedly it looks, tastes, feels, and acts like a cigarette but doesn't actually produce any "real" smoke. Instead, it utilizes a tar free, odorless, nicotine vapor that is free of many of the chemicals found in traditional cigarettes. Anyone ever try one?


Skull Wedding Cake

I have a unique wedding client, one I am having a BLAST helping to plan. She is all about the unordinary. She found this wedding cake online and absolutely loves it. What do you think?

I was all comfy on the sofa checking out 'goth' wedding themes and looking into custom engagement rings orange county (yea, she wants to change her engagement ring fit the theme - odd, I know!) when my computer started giving me trouble. I was using our stupid PC - I should know better.

Have I mentioned I am a Mac girl through and through? Anyway, I'm sure it's just a case of needing to get more laptop memory but until then, I'm back with y trusty MacBook ;)


I Miss Having Babies

My brood is growing up so fast, I miss having babies.  Granted, all the stuff I had to carry around when I had babies was insane but I miss it anyway!

I miss baby cuddles and oh that baby smell! There are so many new baby products I want to try - especially Bob revolution strollers! Have you seen them?

I am not 'allowed' to get pregnant right now - nope, gotta be able to have those margaritas in Mexico at Epcot!


Do You Have Long Hair?

I have always wanted long hair but it never seems to get past my shoulders; by that time I need to have it cut. I try to only get it trimmed so the dead ends disappear and well, supposedly that helps to keep hair healthy.

Do you have long hair? If you do, how did it get so long? Genetics - hair growth shampoo - vitamins? Miss. Independent seems to have the same problem I do, her hair only seems to grow so long and then it's time for a trim!


Working From Home - For Real!

When I became a mom I knew I wanted to stay home with my kids; I also knew there was NO WAY I was going to stay home and only do domestic things. I wanted to also contribute to the family financially.

I created a forum, the Independent World Community, where people could talk about working from home, what is legitimate and what is a scam. After almost 3 years I finally did it! I have found that blogging and article writing are the best ways to make a good amount of money every month.

Sometimes the article topics are a bit much, like the latest one I did was about the best colon cleanse on the market. Hey, at least I am learning something! It's very interesting! I have started a blog to go along with the forum. This blog has lots of job ooening posts!
