Organizing Is No Small Tasks But Great When You Have Freecycle!

By -
Organizing is underway. We have to get this place organized first before we can move. It's amazing how much stuff a family could collect over time.

Today is Freecycle day. I love it. Freecycle is a yahoo group that you can post the things you don't want anymore. That way your "trash can be another man's treasure". You know the sayin'. To find a Freecycle group in your local area go to Freecycle.org.

I think it's a great way to clean out your house and have someone pick it up right there. You don't have to lug it to a dumpster. I just put it out front on my bench with their name on it and they'll pick it up. I don't even have to be here when they come.
I've met some really nice ladies as well!!

    I have been reading your posts and you have an extraordinary family. I am always so encouraged when I see strong, loving, black families online (we are out there, just not blogging).

    You are a warrior for the home schooling thing! I would love to do that at some point.

    Keep sharing your story.

    Best,

    Yes, I LOVE Freecycle! Craigslist.com is a great place to sell some stuff before your move, too! Good luck in your move! It is good that you always think positive, keep the faith! ~Darla

My Monday Morning Started At 11:00PM...Last Night!

We had to take little j. to the Doctor this morning because last night he didn't sleep good and neither did we. He kept crying and crying and wouldn't stop. We were completely thrown because he had such a good day. Could it be: 1. He's teething and it's bothering him? Yes, but a little baby Orajel and infants Tylenol should have done the trick. It didn't. 2. I ate something that didn't agree with him? Of course we couldn't come up with anything. 3. He was just so tired from everything we did yesterday and it was hard for him to fall asleep? Maybe. 4. He got bit by a bug and we didn't know? We checked all over, no bites. We even checked to see if there was a piece of hair wrapped around his little fingers and toes. None! 5. Because he's teething he could have an ear infection? Yes very possible but he didn't show the usual signs: fever, pulling at his ears (that looked like it was out of the norm for him because it's something he does often...

Inspired To Write...

The other day a friend of mine asked me, where have you been? She then proceeded to say, it's like you fell off the face of the earth. I laughed and said, "no, I've actually fallen onto the face of the earth". Girl, thanks for that little laugh, I appreciated the moment :) I've fallen onto the face of the earth and bumped right into my family, friends (old and new), business partners, business meetings, social gatherings, moms meetings, and so many activities for the kids, life has been busy. My natural journey has opened so many doors, talk about beautiful women. Sistah's who have inspired me to keep going and stay focused on the end result rather than the transitioning stage. These days I mostly wear my hair in a ponytail-bun. I don't have time to get all fancy, but when I can I'll do a two-strand twist style and use my latest product discovery, Oyin Handmade . They are very reasonable and the products smell so good. If it's one thing I...
