I Confess...I Love Her Work

I love Martha Stewart's work...the woman, I don't know. You will now see a link to her on our blog, because it will help me keep up with Martha. Maybe you'll click on her sometimes, too.

Let's Eat Together!

Family Day - A Day to Eat Dinner with Your Children™ is a national movement to inform parents that the parental engagement fostered during frequent family dinners is an effective tool to help keep America’s kids substance free. Joseph A. Califano, Jr. said: "If I could wave a magic wand to make a dent in our nation’s substance abuse problem, I would make sure that every child in America had dinner with his or her parents at least five times a week."

Family Day reminds parents that Dinner Makes a Difference. Celebrate Family Day on Monday, September 28, 2009. What your kids really want at the dinner table is YOU!

Go to http://www.casafamilyday.org/ for more details

Don't forget that we hope to enjoy a potluck dinner together as a school community on Friday, September 25 after school. Watch for sign up sheets, and bring some chairs or blankets!

Aztec Organic Pest Service

Recently we were inundated with fire ants--inside our house. One afternoon, they ate part of our leather couch (seriously). We have always tried to avoid pest control service, and have not had our house treated in about four years. When fire ants eat your couch and bite your kids inside, though, we knew we needed some help. . .

Today we were visited by a lovely gentleman from Aztec Organic Pest Service out of Austin. He was right on time! They do charge a trip fee to Cedar Park and Leander, but if you are willing to wait a couple of days until they can pair a trip to your house with someone else, they will waive the fee. Such was the case for me today. Aztec takes pride in using totally natural means of treating your house and lawn for pests, and feel that if the case is handled effectively, there is no reason for repeat service (and chemicals!). Check them out if you find yourself with a serious problem, as we did. I'll update you on how our fire ant debacle unfolds. I think Aztec did the trick!
