1. Spring From Below

 Spring from Below

Plow the dirt.
And plant some seeds.
Help the earth and people breathe.
For every hand,
there is a seed.
Children chant:
Sunflower,
Pansy,
Rose,
Ice plant,
Narcissus,
Geranium.
Sun shines brightly upon their heads.
And from the dirt they will grow.
To everyones delight,
Spring is finally here!

But instead, stubborn winter, tucks its white blanket onto the ground.

On the second day, Bella gazes, and says, “Winter Winter. Go away! Let spring shine today!”

But instead, persistent winter, wraps its icy fingers around the branches.

On the third day, Bella gawks, and says, “Winter Winter. Go away! Let spring shine today!”

But instead, pig-headed winter, stomps it’s white footprints onto the rooftops.

On the fourth day, Bella stares, and says, “Winter Winter. Go away! Let spring shine today!”

But instead, hard-headed winter, icecoats salt granules onto the roads.

On the fifth day, Bella studies, and says, “Winter Winter. Go away! Let spring shine today!”

But instead, bull-headed winter, paints the neighborhood iced milk.

On the sixth day, Bella spys, and says, “Winter Winter. Go away! Let spring shine today!”

But instead, strong-willed winter, swirls a dusting of sugar upon the porch steps.

On the seventh day, Bella glimpses, and says, “Winter Winter. Go away! Let spring shine today!”

But instead, determined winter, lassos white flakes onto cars in passing.

On the eighth day, Bella observes, “Winter Winter. Go away! Let spring shine today!”

But instead, tenacious winter, claws its chilly breath across the cotton lawns.

On the ninth day, Bella inspects, “Winter Winter. Go away! Let spring shine today!”

But instead, rebellious winter, dusts baby powder onto mailboxes.

On the tenth day, Bella peers, and says, “Winter Winter. Gone away! Spring is finally here! We’ll at least till

summer kicks in!”

8. Ugly Christmas Sweater Tees Review



FIERY NIGHT SHIRT






Goofy Christmas t-shirts

http://www.ugly-christmas-sweater-tshirts.com/

Review:  

I had the opportunity to review Fiery Night (pictured above). My review is a positive one. I was impressed with the fabric quality. My only suggestion is when ordering choose a size larger as the fabric does shrink a little.  
This company uses the highest quality, 6.1 oz. thick cotton t-shirts. That's the thick, soft, luxurious kind that lasts.  Order yours today!  Order an Ugly T-Shirt or sweater for a friend or family member and make an impact. There are lots and lots of styles to choose from. 100% guaranteed
I give this T-shirt a 5 stars!



 Cuddles is modeling the Fiery Night T-shirt
isn't he cute!

9. Home School Your First Grader Review




Home School Your First Grader
by Beth Jones

      The book titled Home School Your First Grader, written by Beth Jones. She holds a B.A. in English and was home schooled as a child. This is a great book to read and learn from if you're interested in home schooling your child.
     
     Topics are tackled head on. The material covered span from why should you home school, are you qualified to home school, how to get started, what curriculum should you use, subjects to teach, what if your child doesn't like to be home schooled, what if you have other younger children, ad last of all, what if home schooling doesn't work out for you?

     In reality, the best educator of any child is a parent.  We "get" our children. As Beth Jones states, " Yes, a public school teacher may have a degree, but only you know your child inside and out. You know what makes them tick."

     There are many reason to home school a child. A few reasons mentioned are if schools in your area aren't very good, violence, or if you are not satisfied with your school district, health concerns, religious preferences, or just more time with your child.

     Alot of parents don't know that they too can home school their children. It's easier than ever with prepackaged curriculum options and supportive home school groups. To get started first you need to research the school laws in your state. Each state's laws vary. It's important to talk to your child and explain why homeschooling is the better option. Involve your child with his or her education.  Your child will love being able to have a say or feel like being in control of the education. Always involve your child and create a lesson plan together.

    If money is an obstacle, Beth Jones explains ways to help acquire the curriculum needed to home school.
A sample of what you might do on your first day of home schooling is provided to get you started in the right direction. Attending a curriculm fair is a time when home school families and companies get together to sell and buy new and used curriculum. There are also many sample lessons that you can ask for from curriculum companies.

    If you have thought or are thinking to home school your child, then this is a must read.

10. Summer In Salem Blog Review & Giveaway





 Blurb:


Summer in Salem
Teagen’s summer has been turned upside down by a body, a pentagram necklace, and an old flame.

Nine months ago, Teagan Matthews' boyfriend disappeared and took her sense of stability with him. But when the opportunity to live with her aging grandmother in Salem arises, she decides it's time to get on with her life. A new home, new job and new friends are adding up to a beautiful summer...

...until a young girl's body shows up one night in town, wearing a necklace exactly like Teagan's.

Now a guy looking remarkably like her missing boyfriend has arrived in Salem along with a mysterious stranger who may have some answers that Teagan has desperately been searching for. Teagan must now decide who to trust. It
's a matter of life and her death.



My Review:

     Teagan, a lucky 21 year old thought her life was a storybook fairy tale, until the love of her life, Jason evaporated into thin air, taking her will to live along with it. Her life took a detour to the land of mystery, shock, and denial. It all began when she overheard her parents ranting about what to do with Aine, her aging grandmother, living alone in her Salem Victorian home

     Teagan is a likeable character, I love the artistic side to her, but for some reason I didn't really feel a connection.....maybe it's just me. Her move into Salem, gave her an instant job at an art gallery owned by a Lark, a young rags to riches girl. Immedialtely after, an attractive boy comes into the gallery and argues with Lark. Teagan doesn't put the clues together until further into the story. An annoying, bitter sweet kinda a guy, Seth tries to convince Teagan that she needs to speak to her Grandmother about the coven and find the "Book" book of spells. 

     Teagan witnessed a goo goo ga ga couple all lovey dovey over each other and couldn't believe the striking resemblance between the morbid looking boy with that of her beautiful rays of sunshine, Jason. Also, her and Lark stumble upon a corpse that resembled Teagan. After, being forced to double date with her now best friend Lark and Dave, she ran into the morbid gothic boy and confirmed that it was in fact Jason gone bad. Everything she felt for Jason was a total lie, and she couldn't digest the fact of why he would leave her for the dark side and the gorgeous blonde. 

     Teagan's world turns when she learned that her Grandmother was the leader of a coven, and that she was next in line to lead the coven. Does she run from what she is?  or does she stay and continue her Grandmother's legacy? Overall, I enjoyed the book. It was a good read an would recommend.

13. The Unfinished Book Review




In a future where the Unfinished (murdered) are brought back to life for only 72 hours to testify against their killers before being "put down" for eternity... an Unfinished is brought back to life, to what he believes is his moment to put his killer behind bars.
He remembers the final details of his life; his boring job as a mattress salesman, the dame he had high hopes for a future with, and the man who took his life.
Once brought back to life and taken to court, this Unfinished could never have imagined what was waiting for him.
Written in a world that is our future, giving homage to 1940's detective noir stories, the Unfinished serves up a twist ending that will leave you wanting to follow this mug to the bitter end.



My Review:
I had the pleasure of reading Patrice Williams-Marks book titled Unfinished. First off, I was intrigued by the title, second the cover and third I wanted to know more about what was unfinished. I loved the opening hook! "Death sucks," ha ha isn't that the truth. The premise of the story is unique and keeps the reader on his or her toes. Fast paced plot and amazing true voice. I just loved the character voice, it made me chuckle and wanted to keep reading even though my eyes were struggling to stay open after working a long day at school. Written in first person, makes us feel what the character is going through. Murdered, and returns to face the one that ended his life. Wouldn't this be grand if this could happen in real life? ya I know! justice will be served! But the thing that makes this story all the better is that the "awakened" only have 72 hours to do this in the court of law and then unfortunately, they have to return to their "eternal slumber" aww that sucks!
I am not just saying this just because I'm writing this review but I really really really  want to read this book when it comes out! boy I sound like a kindergartener!

Review:  I had the opportunity to review the Packaways and would like to spread my positive experience with these boxes. My first impression when I pulled them out of the box was "Wow!" these are durable, large and colorful!" My son used these to transport his books to college and loved them. They still are in great condition and will be used over and over again. They are constructed with durable plastic polypropylene that do not fall apart when wet.

Welcome to Stay a Stay at Home Mom

rayven perkins

My name is Rayven Perkins. I am a stay at home mom who has been there, done that

I have spent the past 11 years getting to the heart of the legitimateand real work at home mom opportunities, for tackling home finances, for saving money on all kinds of household and entertainment expenses, and for adding additional stay at home mom income to my family through real stay at home jobs.

You see, there are three main areas to conquer in order to stay a SAHM.
1. Reduce Expenses
To make it all work financially, you need to have less money going out. This is the single most important way to afford staying with your children.

2. Stretch Your Dollar
Save money while being able to afford all the fun stuff! Go out to dinner and a movie every weekend with your husband; buy your favorite foods at the grocery store; go on wonderful vacations! All on one income.

3. Supplement Income

Use your spare time (yes, I know we moms have very little spare time!) to add additional funds to your household through real stay at home jobs for WAHMs, earning pocket money, paying off bills, or even replacing an income.
