CALLING ALL CANADIANS!!!

So, as you all know I'm a consultant for Scentsy Wickless Candles. Well, this past weekend I attended convention here in Salt Lake City where they announced that beginning September 1st Scentsy will be selling and shipping to Canada! So all you Canadians out there, its time to be excited! This is a super super fun product that allows you to burn yummy smells without the fire and wick of a candle! Not only that the warmers that melt the scented wax are darling and the scents are delicious! Check out my website by clicking on the Scentsy Logo on my sidebar to see exactly what Scentsy is and how it works!

I'm in the process of trying to work out a time in October/November to come to Calgary to have a party. Until then you can place an order on my website, beginning September 1st. BUT, if you don't want to order any of the scents until you can actually smell them, you can host what's called a basket party where you'll have the opportunity to smell all the samples and earn a Scentsy Shopping Spree! And last, but not least, Scentsy provides excellent business opportunities. It costs $119.00 Canadian to start your own Scentsy business and considering it is new to Canada there is limitless potential for selling and growth!!!!

In the meantime, leave a comment for me if you're interested in a catalog, interested in chatting with me to learn more, interested in hosting a basket party or interested in hosting a party when I'm in Calgary this coming fall! Oh yeah, and every comment left will go in a drawing for a free Scentsy Travel Tin that I will hold on September 1st! (only those in Canada will be eligible!)

please note...until September 1st the prices on my website are in U.S. dollars.

My Baby is Two

This Birthday Tribute to Reecey is way late but as I've said before better late then never right?

On July 17th Reece turned 2. Oh my! Where does the time go? There was a time when she was a tiny baby that I thought she'd never get bigger. It was difficult since she was so fussy and there were a lot of tears shed...hers and mine! But once we figured each other out Reece became the most pleasant, content, snuggly, cute, ball of chub!

As she grew she just got happier and cuter. She's always been such a little trooper...being dragged here and there and everywhere and always at the mercy to my schedule, which is at the mercy of the older kids activites. But she loves it! She loves to go "bye-bye!"

Now that she's 2 she is becoming quite the little talker. She repeats almost everything we say! She sings or hums constantly and is the best little mommy to her baby dollies.

She speaks very clearly but here's a list of some of her Reecey words...

Kai-nin=Crying

Fwuip-a-Loops=Fruit Loops

Hummy=Hungry

Cinderlella=Cinderella

Melly=Smelly

She tells me "I hold you" when she wants me to hold her.

When she wants to wrestle with her Daddy she'll walk up to him and say, "piece-a-me!"

When I call for her if she's somewhere playing she'll yell "coming!"

When we put her to bed and she doesn't want to go she'll cry for anyone to save her whether its Bwady, Nanny, Jackson or Daddy! Its hilarious!

Basically I would love to bottle her up at this age and keep her 2 forever!!!!!

So to keep with tradition this last year with my kids birthdays, here are 10 reasons why I love Reecey!

1. She is THE BEST little snuggler

2. She sucks her index and middle finger on her left and its CUTE!

3. She would push her baby dolly in her baby dolly stroller outside all day if I let her

4. She is a GREAT sleeper and loves her bed once she's in it! The funny thing is I never know how long she's slept because I just don't ever know when she wakes up. She doesn't cry or yell or anything. She'll just sit and play and sing to herself so if I'm not near her room or if I don't check on her I can't hear if she's awake or not.

5. She loves her older brothers and sister! Oh she loves them all. She gives them kisses, hugs, she loves to play with them...she just loves them!

6. She loves shoes and clothes...just like her mommy!

7. She is a daddy's girl through and through! Even though she sometimes gets mad at him 9 out of 10 times she'll pick TJ over me!

8. Her giggle. It is such a big belly laugh for such a little person

9. Her singing. This little person can sing in perfect pitch and she LOVES music! She sings everything from "I Love to See the Temple" to "Living on a Prayer" Its one of the cutest things ever!

10. Everything! I just love everything about this little person. She is such a light and a joy in our home and lives and I'm so grateful that our family was blessed with such a precious, cute, innocent little princess girl!

So even though we're almost 2 months late...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY REECE! WE LOVE YOU!!!!!

Pantene Beautiful Lengths

Miss Natalie has been growing her hair out to donate to Locks of Love for the last 2 years. Lately, however, it has just gotten to be too much to handle. Too many tangles, too many split ends and too long!

So a couple week ago we headed into the salon to my cousin Val for a cut! Since Natalie didn't want to cut 10 inches (the required amount for Locks of Love) off Val told us about the Pantene program that only requires 8 inches of hair. So it was decided that she would get it CHOPPED and her hair would go to Beautiful Lengths instead of Locks of Love.

The Cut

After the cut but before the style.

With Val after the DARLING style! As you can see Natalie opted for some bangs which she has never ever had before.

Darling Girl, if you ask me!!!!
