Colorful poetry

My 9 year old, Izzy, loves to write poetry. I am a fan!

What is Green?

Green in like sneaky Leprechauns at the end of the rainbow gathering Gold.
Green is what summer and spring wear on the tips of their heads.
Green has spread across the world giving each person joy and happiness.
Soft notes on the piano represent green.
Emerald gives out many glittering green sparkles from the sunlight.
Green is born in almost every direction you look.
Green is the color of spring.
Jade is a beautiful emissary of green.
But to conclude it, green is a graceful, elegant color.

"I call the top bunk!"

'cause really...there aren't many things in life that are better than the top bunk
























Well except maybe sleeping bags in a tent...

preppin'

Up to my nostrils in Bead&Button prep!!!
ahhhhhh. so much to do.

Preorder my book at Beaducation.com

Hey all, we are now taking preorders for my book on my site beaducation.com. The price includes shipping (we are just charging a few bucks). Click here to check it out. The first 200 copies ordered through our site will be signed by me (which is a bit dorky and exciting at the same time!).

Saturday testing

It's Saturday ....and super sunny and nice out....do you know where your kids are? Yeah, mine are with a babysitter because my husband and I are at work. No complaints though, I have a goal and I am crankin' on it. Over at Beaducation.com we are launching a new site, and we are sooooo excited about it. Not only will the site have a nice fancy face lift, it will now feature product videos. We are filming these videos every week so our library will constantly be growing.

Don't bother clicking that play button, it's just a screen shot. But hopefully you can view the actual video soon....like very very soon :)

So here I sit, no distractions (except the Arctic Monkey....loud!). I am testing, inserting alt images, linking product videos, testing classes, editing pictures, shooting pictures and drinking Green Tea. I am focused! I hope my kids are enjoying this sunny day.

IT'S HERE....MY BOOK IS HERE~!

woooohooo. Yesterday I got my advanced real, like super real, copy of my book. It looks so good! If feels so good! It SMELLS soooooo good! This is the first time I have seen the DVD and it too looks soooo good! We had a viewing last night at my mom's house....movie night. I forced the whole family to watch my DVD and they were actually quite into it. My kids learned a lot and now they think I am a famous movie star...hummm.

Here is the link again if you want to preorder it, OR even better, we will have copies to sell when it's out in early July, so is you are cool with waiting, you can get a signed copy from beaducation.com (soon).

wooohooo!

Inspiration

Last weekend my husband and I took our kids to see Cirque du Soleil's Ovo in San Jose. I have seen about 7 different Cirque du Soleil shows and this is one makes the top 2 in my book (with "O" of course).

The most inspiring part of this show was seeing it with my kids. Next time you go to a show like this, take a minute (or 2 hours like I did) and turn your attention to a child's face. Most likely, that face will reflect wonder, joy, confusion and pure amazement....and that just might inspire you more than the show itself.

If you watch the below video....stick it out. The last act is the bestest!
