A leading role, and a serenade

I have two little performers. Actresses, drama queens, attention seekers, what ever you want to call them, they certainly love to be the center of attention. My oldest actress just got the lead role in her little play, and she is playing old king cole. It should be fun, and I'll try to get video on it on my blog. Even though Abby has learning disabilities, she did greating with her stage direction, acting, and inflection of her lines. One of the moms even made a comment on how well she did. We'll see how things go. Becky and Abby were both in the musical last summer, and both want to do the musical this summer as well this year. I'm glad both have found this creative outlet.
Becky, my very loving 6 yr old, just burst out into song before I started writing this blog. I have never seen such creativity....Oh the action around here! Just remember my two budding actresses ten years from now, you never know! I get told at least ten times a day by Becky that she loves me. I'll keep you updated on rehearsals and all the fun we are having in this acting workshop! Don't forget about my giveaway, only a few days left!

Caroles Candle Contest!!!

Alright! Since everyone is doing it....why not me. I have the perfect contest too! For the winner, I will give some Jelly bean tarts to celebrate my first contest. I am thinking...maybe two sets, or jelly bean tarts and some cupped tarts. If you like tarts this is the contest for you. Now these tarts are hand poured and I love keeping this woman busy.

A little about the company: All of our products are hand made with the finest ingredients. We use the maximum amount of fragrance oils allowed so you receive a highly scented creation. Each creation is individually hand crafted so no two are ever exactly alike.

Our gourmet bakery candles look and smell like they just came out of the oven. Each piece of fruit is individually scented so you get a highly scented and beautiful realistic looking product..

We also offer many alternatives to burning candles such as our smelly jellies, wax dipped scented air fresheners, electric & battery tealight candles, fresh made potpourri, fixins, tarts, as well as many decorative scented products.

We will constantly be adding new creations & many are unique & one of a kind that may be available for only a limited time so please check back often.

If you are looking for something we don't have on our website feel free to email us to see if we can make it for you. Custom & Special orders are welcome here.

Uncle Kenny, Uncle Kenny

Yes, he's arrived. Uncle Kenny has come to Joliet Illinois, and Becky couldn't be happier. Just days ago both my daughters in tears as their social lives began to crumble because of the cold weather. No roller skating, no band concert. The world looked pretty grim to a certain six and ten year old. But wait, a glimmer of hope, a light at the end of the tunnel!! Their Uncle Kenny had come in from Arizona to visit. The Harris family had a bunch of January birthdays to celebrate. So all day Friday, what did Becca talk about? "Her Uncle Kenny of course! When she wasn't watching cartoons, playing/wrestling with Abby, or playing on the computer, just one man was on her mind, and this time, it wasn't daddy.

Chuck called at 5:30 cst, our inlaws wanted to invite us over for dinner. OH MY! Did he know? Did he know that Uncle Kenny wouldn't get a moments rest from his beautiful blonde neice? (Yes she's beautiful...LOL) And not a moment of peace is right. Right off the bat, both girls told their Uncle Kenny of their boyfriend (real or imagined), and the poor man. He ate with a 6 yr old, non stop talking to him about EVERYTHING. We will see Uncle Kenny on Sunday to celebrate birthdays. I'm sure Becca is going to have plenty to talk about.

Thanks for reading.

Cancelled

I hate hearing that word in any context, but I especially hate it with my job. I am an agency nurse, and in this economy must be the worst job to have. It's a job mind you, kind of like construction. But it is hard, and we do struggle. Hospitals pad their staffing, which is why alot of agency nurses get cancelled. I have been waiting for our state nursing organization to step up and help out agency nurses. After all their motto used to be helping every nurse. But after supporting Blago, and reading their last newspaper, with every other business, the only way an agency nurse will get noticed is if she pays dues. She "might" get noticed and heard. Don't get me wrong...I'm all for nursing organizations, but I don't feel Illinois Nurses Association represents or can represent EVERY nurse. So what's a lone agency nurse to do. Other than have multiple agencies and maybe a side job, not much. Agency nurses don't have it easy as some might think. Just my thoughts for today.

My little food critic

This is just one of those stories, you will tell again and again. It's one of those stories you tell when your child is in their 20's, or starts cooking as a teen. It's laughable, I hope it will bring every mom laughing, because it is just too cute. So here goes. We were watching "The Iron Chef" on food network. I would say it is one of our favorites shows, and I wasn't a big fan at first, now I am. I decided to use my mixes I had in the cabinet, and use the left over ham for soup. I made split pea ham, basil beer bread (with sprite) and sugar free chocolate cheese cake. Well, if you've seen the show you know there are three judges. They all critic the different dishes, and who is glued to the t.v. My six year old Becca loves the show. So my first course (and only), split pea soup with bread. I am eating in front of my computer and watching, and she says, "Momma the soup has a little too much pea in it" LMAO...if you've ever watched the show it was funny, because a judge will say something like, "you have this, or a little too much of that" Well it was funny to this mom, my little food critic. It was funny because, a little too much "pea"? It's pea soup!!! I hope that gave you a little giggle. And oh yes, Ms, Becca has already started planning her 7th birthday. That is in March! KIDS!

Thanks for reading.
