Sponsors

You know those blogs that have 45 widgets on the side of their posts listing their cute little sponsors? Those are the bloggers who are rewarded for being incredibly witty, pensive, or introspective. Unfortunately for those poor people, they also have to endorse products they know nothing about OR they get sent stuff so THEN they have to endorse the product even if they don't like them.

And so, it is with a heavy heart, I feel the need to endorse my sponsors' merchandise. Ready? Here I go.

(Cue chirping crickets)

And so we have established that I am a grassroots blogger. I have no sponsors. I can say anything I want without fearing retribution from sponsors. I'm blogging because my little world revolves around me. Cool, huh? So anything I decide to dis or endorse is my own opinion.


A little background is in order first. I have wanted a mother's necklace that is my style. I contacted Tiffany at the Silver Cottage and told her the names of my children. The only directive I gave her was to keep it simple. It arrived today and, I must admit, I am now the cutest girl I know. So much so that I have been calling my friends, neighbors, and sisters to tell them how cute I am. Her creations are personal, creative, and excellent taste.

Did I mention affordable? So affordable that I'm offering a deal for anybody who places an order between now and August 2nd. Tiffany will give 25% off her regular price if you contact her and tell her you saw it on my blog or somehow work into the conversation that Nancy is the cutest girl you know now that she wears a silver pendant around her neck that boasts that she is the joyful mother of four specific children. And, yes, I paid for my treasure.

I know what you are thinking.
How can she offer this great price? The answer is simple. She doesn't know. She'll be just as surprised when she reads this blog as you are! Maybe more so! Isn't this a fun game? And I wonder why I don't get sponsor offers. Go figure.

Check out her blog or click directly on the icon to get to her store. If you skip the blog, you may miss out on a lot of fun. She posts great saving ideas, organization of coupons, internet specials for FREE stuff, interspersed with stories about taking her six children to a free concert featuring the Bee Gees. Don't you love the way that last sentence contained both "free" and "Bee Gees"? It totally makes me want to find a DeLorean time machine and be the coolest 70s chick in my polyester disco shirt.

    I have been doubled over laughing for the last 5 minutes! You Rock!

    Seriously, probably the first time I have laughed out loud for a few days.

    I am all for it, 25% off for everyone! If we were in bar I'd buy everyone drinks also! The fruity expensive kind!

  6. "Oh yes, I am totally going to honor, Ms. Taylor's kind offer of 25% off any order before August 2nd!"

    You ought to start offering more discounts to great things and places. Should I send you my shopping list? LOL Actually, come to think of it you didn't call me to tell me about how cute you are. Does that mean we're not friends, neighbors, or sisters? Well, stalker it is then. ;)

    Well, I have to figure out how to buy one of those great pieces before Sunday, now. I really have wanted to do something because I had a bracelet w/ the kids birthstones up through my 5th child. Being on #8, I need to get something else. I'd also like to get a special one just for Dominic and Bridget since I wish they could literally be here, but jewelry would be a nice way to keep them close sentimentally. Thanks for the heads up on a great designer! And especially for arranging the discount for me. LOL

The Most Dreaded Words

 Everybody knows that Christmas is about keeping the Santa Secret and pleasing your children. Therefore, the most dreaded words are uttered on Christmas Eve. "I changed my mind, I want a [pony, scooter, bike, Red Rider BB gun]" A close second place winner is, "Can I have a New Year's Eve party?" Then, "Me, too?"

Too Sick to be Sick

I am sick.  Really and truly sick.  I even took a sick day and felt no guilt whatsoever that maybe I wasn't sick enough to have a "sick day."  Because I am.  My 5 year old was sick, too so I took him to the doctor.  I refuse to acknowledge that I'm sick because I don't get sick.  So with absolute glee, my little boy climbed up onto the table, stuck out his tongue and conversed with the doctor.  I heard something about cloudy ears and antibiotics and then I just turned it off. It hurts when sound reaches my eardrums. We drove back home, I turned on the television, brought in the dog, and let the babysitting begin.  I crawled back into bed and swam somewhere between consciousness and unconsciousness.  The kids came home from school.  I might have acknowledged them.  I made chicken noodle soup from scratch.  I couldn't even think.  My husband caught me in a sway and asked what he could do.  I grunted some terse instructi...

What We Eat

Check out the good looking crew.  Just to clarify.  I'm the pretty one. There's a little mountain resort in Northern Utah that is invaded every July by this group of people. We are an intimidating bunch. 5 years ago my brother brought his Nepalese bride to the United States.  She lived in a country where she had no expectation to ever drive a car.  She bought her food daily from the market and ate it.  She taught English, although her accent was so strong when she arrived I questioned her grasp of the language.  We tried to be friendly and accepting.  We ended up scaring the daylights out of her. She thought we were crazy.  Her words, not mine. Although I think she tolerated me a little better than the others because I had the brand new fair-haired baby that she continued to steal.  She wanted a blond haired, blue eyed baby and wondered what her chances were now that she married an American. We take turns cooking for the family dinners. ...
