My Points

Has anyone ever joined and got lots of point from my points and got gift cards? Well I'm trying it, I hope it really works. I got almost enough points to get a $50 gift card from Target. I also won a gift card on the blog party so I figure by Christmas I can have $150 in gift cards. That will help me get some gifts for the kids. So if anyone would like to join let me know and I can sign you up under me.

What Happened to Posting On My Blog?

I know I have been so busy doing other things that I have not been posting, scrap booking or even looking for new quotes. Well that is going to stop and I'm going to start posting again. It just might be quotes or even random writing but it will be something.

Before the warm weather was upon us I had all these plans to go outside and work work work. Well I don't know if anyone else is like me, but the house work did not stop. The kids are out of school and they want to help all the time. So here I am playing simon says, red light green light, going for walks, etc... with them and nothing is getting done. Well I can't say nothing! This year are rototiller decided it wasn't going to run, so we did allot of work trying to get the gardens ready and the kids did help.

The weather has been so not like summer one week its raining and cold, then its sunny and warm the next. I do know that I got around 40 tomatoes, 40 peppers, tons of onions, 5 mounds of zucchini, couple cucumber,Brussels sprouts, corn, Indian corn, sage, parsley,cilantro, chives, and basil planted. I hope they grow, I can't wait to start picking tomatoes off the vines YUM. I still have allot of mulch to put on my flower beds. Believe me they are not pretty now, some of them have lots of weeds. All this rain has made the weeds grow well.

Me and my mom are planning on taking the kids to camp for awhile. We will be there over the 4th, and I am really looking forward to this. I have not been to camp yet this year, and I can't wait to sit by the fire, go for walks in the woods, read a couple good books and just relax until my dad gets there. Then it will be work work work LOL. At least some of it will be work but not all of it. Then we are taking Chris on a trip, hotels here I come. While we are on are little trip I am hoping I will be able to meet one of my chatting friends from online. Other then that we would like to take the kids to Erie and spend a day or 2 on the beach and I would like to get some girlfriends together and go to camp for a weekend.

Well as you can see summer is going to be busy but I will try to keep up with my posting. If anyone has any canning or freezing recipes for any of the veggies in my garden please let me know were they are.

Have a great summer everyone. :) Inside or outside there is always something to do!
