My Frigidaire Do-Over Moment

My Children, Grand-baby and Son-in-Law

Life is a roller coaster of good bad and everything in between and one thing for certain, we don't get to do it over.  I suppose that isn't necessarily accurate as there are some decisions or situations we could do over but for those that we can't, should we look back or move forward with the knowledge we gained?  I suspect we have many of those times we thought if only but we didn't.  I think about what I'd do over and wonder if I really would want to do anything over in case it changed the path I ended up.  To have a life without my three beautiful daughters is unimaginable or at least that's how I see it but my dad has another take on that theory in that we are who we are and would be regardless of the parent.  Interesting concept to say the least.  I wonder how many people's do overs involve love or a relationship because it can definitely have long lasting ramifications if the wrong path was chosen.  In a different circumstance, my do-over moment would be a choice I made at the ripe ol' age of 18.

My Girls and I

Life is full of unknowns but we think we know at that age.  Throw in some insecurities and you have a recipe for a surprisingly cautious young lady.  I could have stayed where I grew up or move along with my family across the state.  I ended up moving away and started a new life.  I could have stayed and often wonder what would have happened had I stayed in the place I grew up in.  I still have contact with some of my friends and their lives haven't changed a lot.  Some are still there and some moved away.  I think the only thing I really missed out on were the close connections with all those friends.  I have moved so much and never firmly established myself so I missed out on the years of bonding with friends.  Although not much a do-over moment it's the one thing that if I had done over and made a different decision, my life would have been vastly different.  However, I wouldn't change a decision if it meant my path now would be any different.


Even though we cannot have do-over moments, especially that long ago, we can ensure we do things right the first time without having to second guess our experiences in this wonderful thing called life.  I'm glad I stuck with my decision to move away because it afforded me with so many opportunities and experiences that I wouldn't have had if I stayed put.  Having the opportunity to travel across Europe, meet such interesting people, having an incredible career and three beautiful children reminds me I made the best decision.  I think I do have a suggestion for Johnny Depp, he needs a do-over moment with picking me as his future wife!  A girl can dream can't she?

Bring a Smile: Vote for Two Momprenuers (Small Business Owners)

A final push for votes for two wonderful women who have businesses they juggle out of their homes while being caretakers for their families.  I'm very big on moms who can manage to take that plunge and start their own businesses.  I became close to both women through blogging and both have routinely supported my nine year old's non-profit along with other charitable causes.  These two women are dynamos!


Cynthia from Adorable Baby Clothing has three reasons she would love to have your vote and win the Chase Small Grant's program to proceed to the next level.  She has three grandchildren that she helps to tend to while her daughter just finished nursing school.  Cynthia is a great person and puts her all in her business in ensuring each and every customer is happy and satisfied.  She's a small business owner who tries to keep up with the chains.  This grant would give her the ability to do things she hasn't been able to due to the economy.  Her business will be given a new breath of fresh air to start accomplishing more goals.

  

Ros from Ficklets is another mom-dynamo!  Ros' invention of interchangeable eyewear charm huggers was inspired by her daughter who is a special needs child.  Ros, as most mothers, want the very best for her daughter and thus the idea of Ficklets came about.  She wanted her daughter to like her glasses and developed these cute charm huggers that will fit on eyeglasses and give kids a little more personality to their boring glasses.

Ros would also benefit greatly from winning this grant and it would allow her to further her product line, reach out to more people and just expand her small business.


A quick, one-time vote is all that is needed along with a Facebook account.  Just click on the Chase Mission link, login in with your Facebook account, type in Ficklets, hit search, vote.  Then type in Adorable Baby Clothing, hit search and vote.  Please share and get your family and friends to vote.  They need minimally 250 votes each by June 30th and they are so close!

Ficklets: Helping Kids Love Their Glasses Needs Your Vote!

Sometimes something simple strikes a business idea and it takes off.  As parents and individuals, we take these moments in life where we think of something that would be an improvement to an unmet need.  This is how Ficklets was born.  During one of those 'ah ha' moments, inventor Ros Guerrero was thinking about her daughter and her glasses.  Anyone who is a parent knows how we struggle as parents to do all we can for our children and at times, our hands our tied.  From the basics to the complicated, we want our children's lives to be easier, simpler and more fun.  Ros' daughter, Gem, is a special needs child and has her limitations that any child has.  Gem is a remarkable young lady who in spite of her limitations, is fun loving and can keep up with the rest of us.  

Gem's eyeglasses were a small source of frustration with her which is where mom steps in.  As Ros was sitting on the couch one evening thinking about Gem's glasses, she thought of a way to make glasses more fun and more personalized.  Her idea for the first patented eyewear charm huggers were sure to be a hit among other children who wanted to add new life to their glasses.  From this idea grew a bigger business to offer more choices in more areas of the world.  Ros is a power house trying to grow her business while helping children with their self-esteem.  Ros is continuously supporting charitable causes along her journey as the mompreneur making a difference.  

In an effort to expand and grow her options with Ficklets as well as expand in new territories, Ros has applied to win a $250,000 grant from Chase in the Small Mission event.  Your vote can make the difference in helping her achieve further business goals.  Voting is until June 30th and is done via Facebook with one vote per account.  Voting is free and easy.

The Fall of Anne Boleyn: A Countdown by Claire Ridgeway Book Review

I'm a big history fan of the British monarchy and that could be because I love history and/or I'm half English.  I have always taken a keen interest in historical events but within the past year or so, have taken a liking to British monarchs.  From what started with Queen Elizabeth and then a turn to Queen Victoria, I became fascinated with King Henry VIII.  I must confess that those interests originated with the movies Elizabeth, Elizabeth: The Golden Age, Young Victoria and then The Other Boleyn Girl.  Upon that, I started watching some episodes of The Tudors to get a firmer grasp on King Henry's life and his women.  I started reading books to further acquaint myself with Anne Boleyn and found this book The Fall of Anne Boleyn: A Countdown to be of great interest.


Anne Boleyn was a complex person that was portrayed a little different in the Other Boleyn Girl played by Natalie Portman.  This book, The Fall of Anne Boleyn:  A Countdown is an account of the days leading up to Anne's execution.  From the rise and fall, it details many counts of what happened and possibly why it happened.  I liked that the author, Claire Ridgway, made comparisons of differences from what was displayed in The Tudors or The Other Boleyn Girl versus reality.  Her commentary provides more insight to the details while citing sources for the conclusions presented.  It provided a credible account due to the author's insightful research and dedication to the Tudor family.  Learning more about the critical players involved in Anne's rise and fall was also intriguing. The book provides a summary of the whereabouts of the major players post Anne's execution as well as how Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth fell back into their rightful places for the throne.


Overall, an excellent account of the days leading up to Anne's execution, backed by extensive research and thorough author commentary.

Mamavation Monday: Food Cravings

This week's Mamavation Mom question is why do we crave food cravings.  I think the answer can be many reasons ranging from it being a comfort food, to the forbidden food to the additives that are included to make it crave-able.  I've often read about franken sugars like Aspartame having addictive qualities which makes you crave more.  I think foods such as salty, sweet and/or carb laden foods are a basic want we were probably conditioned into liking as we grew and that habit extended into our adult lives.  They might even be hormonal or maybe even seasonal.  The possibilities are endless in my opinion but I know I have those cravings periodically if not daily.  It's one of my struggles I live constantly.


This week, I did much better and I expected to gain weight but was surprised at how post our trip to Sea World and the elimination of soda and eating a bit healthier, I started to lose what I picked up over the weekend.  I'm still not running but I did ride the bike a lot.  Today, I worked off 400+ calories and tried to ride after I ate.  I've had a sinus infection or something that won't go away and I've been terribly fatigued coupled with insomnia so the will to run is out the door for now.  All in all, a good week and hope to continue to choose healthier foods and watch the scale go down a bit more.






This week on Mamavation:

SodaStream Giveaway $99.95 Value 6/24

We have joined together with other Bloggers to give you this great Fountain Jet Soda Lover's Start-Up Kit ($99.95) Giveaway! We just received ours and the girls love it! Stay tuned for my own review but in the meantime, you can check out the review below.

This package includes:

• Fountain Jet Home Soda Maker 
• 1 60 liter Carbonator 
• 1 Carbonating Bottle 
• 3 SodaMix flavors (your choice) - each bottle makes 12 liters of soda 
• Sodamix Variety 6 pack 

Review on the Soda Stream!

Having a Soda stream seltzer water maker is awesome! As a child, we would have a case of seltzer water bottles delivered to our home along with flavored syrup. This went away with the growth of canned soda. But now the seltzer water method is back in our life! We just fill our reusable plastic bottle with tap water push the button to carbonate with our soda stream maker then add some of the many flavors. We have tried at least 30 different flavors to date and have not been disappointed yet! We no longer have to buy 3+ cases of soda a week from the grocery store. We are saving money, we are saving more time, saving storage space, and much less to dispose of or recycle. I have yet to find any fault with this product. I highly recommend having a SodaStream maker to everyone.
