Free Giveaway - The first SIX to comment On My Blog!

The other day, I actually "bought" my first Pay It Forward (PIF) on www.etsy.com I "bought" some glitter. I don't know what I'm going to do with it, maybe I'll figure it out when it arrives. As I have a near six-year-old daugter, I'm sure she'll have ideas, too!

I also left a comment on the blog of http://ladyisra.blogspot.com/2009/04/first-five-to-comment-win.html . He has/had a givaway, too. She inspired me to do the same:)

Up for grabs are two alligator clips(it may be one set or any two clips of your choice) or any two snap clips of your choice from www.hairflair.ca or www.hairflair.etsy.com NOTE: www.hairflair.ca does not have snap clips, you will have to go through my Etsy shop for your choices - be sure to also check out my 'sold' items, too!

That's it! Sieze The Day!!

Sports - Golf, in Particular

My goal for my daughter, who's five, is to be a happy, healthy, producing member of society. I believe as a parent, that's not asking too much.

My Mom's goal for my daughter is to have her become a golf pro as soon as possible! My Mom's already given my daughter three sets of golf clubs! When she was two, it was a fun, plastic set. When she was three, it was a combo plastic / metal set. When she was four, she got a real set.

Today, my Mom has taken my husband golfing and my daughter is riding along in the golf cart and gets to take her putter. This is her introduction to a real, live, golf game.

My Mom tells me there are not enough young, female golfers and that if we play our cards right (she really means ' her cards') then my daughter will be scouted by one of the universities for a scholarship.

Did you know that the same amount of scholarships that's given to the boys must be equal to girls?

I am not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing - this golf thing.

As long as my daughter is enjoying herself and not being pushed excessively, I guess it's okay, isn't it?

I don't want to be 'one of those parents'.

The Daily News

I have a child in the house and feel that although televised news is informative, it's too graphic and negative.

How do you explain to a child why someone's lying on the ground with a blanket over them? "No honey, he's not sleeping in the street......"

I choose not to have the news on in my home. I don't want to explain, yet, why people can be so crewel to each other, weather it's in our own country or another one.

I don't know what a good age, for kids, to hear and see the news, but I think I'm going to delay it for as long as possible.

Are you like me? Do you find that no news is good news?
