Welcome all newcomers and faithful readers!
Hi everyone! Did you miss me? ;-) I certainly miss you all when I take the
summer off from writing this newsletter and it always feels good to re-connect
with you when I return.
Life's been pretty crazy the past few months. My youngest, Liberty, was home for
the summer and it sure felt good to have her here. She's back in Denver now and
we miss her so much. We adopted a new kitty, Benny, who is sweet as can be, very fun and a
general little love bucket. We're all wild for him. He'll have his own web page
soon enough and I promise to share. :-)
We became obsessed with the HBO series,
True Blood over the summer,
too. Wow, is anyone else a serious Trubie? I created a
True Blood store to give me an outlet for the passion I have for this show. If you
haven't yet become a True Blood
fan, I highly recommend it! It's really, really good. :-) I'm currently wearing
my Merlott's T-shirt and drinking from a Merlott's coffee mug. Small things make
me happy. :-)
We've also been de-cluttering our space, with the invaluable help of our new
cleaning lady, Julia and it feels great! I'm energized and open to all the new,
now that the old and the dust bunnies have been removed. :-)
How did your summer go? Please let us know how you've been and what's going on
in your life!
Most of our kids are heading back to school. Big doings! Hope your kids are
settling back into a "school day" routine easily, after being able to sleep in
and play all summer. The transition is never easy for us. Hope you're doing
better than we are!

[Rexanne's note: I absolutely believe that de-cluttering and clearing our
living spaces helps us all live better, more productive and fulfilling lives. It
has always proven to stimulate our lives in a better direction after removing
obstacles and clutter from our paths. This article by Vicky White gives some
valuable information about setting the stage for your children to thrive. If
your child is having trouble in any area of life, consult the Bagua map (link in
the article) and clear that section o f their room. You will see a
transformation of energy almost immediately.]
Parenting & Family Topic of the Month: Support your Child with Feng Shui
By Vicky White
Fall is almost here in the Northern Hemisphere, and back-to-school energy is
everywhere. The malls are full of harried parents and children in tow, in search
of the perfect new outfit for the school year.
By using Feng Shui to give them a bedroom makeover you'll have more impact on
your child's energy, learning and creativity than any new outfit could.
Just as for adults, harmonious energy in a child's bedroom encourages good study
habits, promotes greater success in school and creates well-adjusted children.
Top 10 Feng Shui tips for your child's success and well-being:

Kid's Site of the Month: David
Suzuki's Environmental Page for kids
This is a good site to get your kids at least thinking about global issues and
preserving, protecting and preserving nature and their environment. I especially
love that the author encourages kids not to waste energy and gives them tips on
how they can be proactive. Maybe they'll learn to shut the lights when they
leave a room? Well, we can hope. LOL
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Freebie of the Month: Goog411
Rexanna sent this link and I love it. How about a free 411 service with a human
voice that connects you to the number? Google gives it to us. Yesss! :-) Here's
what Rexanna wrote about this service:
"The voice at the other end says, "City & State." I say, "Mitchell Indiana." He
says, "Business, Name or Type of Service." I say, "Golf Course" & he starts
reading off names of golf courses in the area, I pick from the selection and HE
says "I'll connect you"
Thanks Rexanna!

Tip or Trick of the Month: Uses for old lunchboxes
Speaking of lunchboxes, have you discovered that old lunchboxes make excellent
storage vessels? Many of them are highly collectable, too, so holding on to them
is kinda cool but they take space so use them! Here is a list of what I store in
my children's old lunchboxes:
Photographs
Arts & Crafts Supplies
Recipes
Cocktail napkins
Plastic party utensils
Souvenirs
Keepsakes
Small kitchen accessories
Coupons
Kid's snacks (boxed raisins, fruit snacks, candy, etc.)
Stamps, envelopes, address labels, stationery
Checks and check registers
Business cards
Makeup & cosmetics
Costume Jewelry
Accessories
Kid's action figures and small toys
CDs and DVDs
Sticker collections
Pencils, pens, sharpies, erasers, etc.
Have any to add to the list? Please, let us know!

Time Waster of the Month:
Circle the Cat
(Because life is supposed to be fun!)
Oh this game will drive you crazy! LOL - I have yet to be able to contain this
kitty in the circle. Guess it takes more patience or time than I have to master
this so please, get that kitty contained and feel free to brag to us when you
do. :-)
Feed the kids first ...

Featured Site of the Month:

Jeremy Gilley had an idea in 1999 and this year millions of people around the
world will mark 21 September as Peace Day in whatever way they can. This site tells

Amazing socks is the best place to buy fun, comfortable, practical socks of all
