Work...Work...Work...

Work is going OK

That is all I can say right now

A guy that works for us is leaving on Friday and it is going to be SO hard for me to see him go. He has been there since before I started and when I started working there he took me under his wing and helped me to learn everything that was expected of me - Such a great help

I know for sure I will be crying come Friday afternoon.

We went to lunch today with him and I was crying at lunch - such an emotional mess, I am.

I just wish people never had to leave because it is so hard to more on without them.

Different items for Jaiden...

I really want this bike for Jaiden...

www.stridersports.com

I really want this reader system for Jaiden...

www.yourbabycanread.com

Both of these things I belive can help in in life -

Of course who doesn't need to know how to ride a bike and of course if it can happen sooner rather than later why not - also the same with the reading - he is smart as it is, but if he can read faster and before school - why not - I am thinking both for his Birthday Christmas

I am officially a Scentsy Independent Consultant...Check out my website

Also let me know if you need or want anything.

Here are a few little Questions about Scentsy that might help you understand what it is and why we do.

What kind of wax is used in Scentsy Bars and Scentsy Bricks?Scentsy wickless candle bars are made with a custom, high-quality paraffin wax blend. It is designed for a specific scent load and low melt point.

What kind of fragrance is used in Scentsy products?Scentsy products are manufactured with fragrance oils. Fragrance oils can be all-natural or laboratory-reproduced copies of natural aromatic chemicals, depending on cost-effectiveness. In some cases, Scentsy products also contain essential oils–natural oils derived from plants that can have therapeutic effects and are produced without regard to their cost-effectiveness. Scentsy products may contain essential oils but do not necessarily contain them, so we make no claims about essential oils in our marketing. Please beware of unscrupulous marketing campaigns. “Infused with essential oil” could mean nothing more than one drop of essential oil in a very large batch. “Inspired by essential oil” means nothing more than the product contains fragrance oil.

Do Scentsy products contain phthalates?No. Scentsy products are made with fragrance oils that do not contain phthalates.

How long will a Scentsy Bar’s fragrance last?That depends on a number of factors, including the size of the room, the humidity and temperature in the room, and how many sections of a Scentsy Bar are used at a time. Your biological makeup and unique reaction to smell will also influence how long a scent seems to last. In general, a Scentsy Bar lasts approximately 40 to 80 hours. This wide variation in time is due to the composition of different fragrances as well as the factors described above. A light fragrance such as mint will not last as long as a heavy bakery fragrance.
How are Scentsy Bars and Bricks measured?Scentsy Bars and Scentsy Bricks are measured by weight, not volume. A Scentsy Bar weighs at least 2.4 oz; a Scentsy Brick weighs at least 16 oz. Individual Bars and Bricks may weigh a little more, depending on the fragrance, but they will never weigh less.

What wattage of light bulb do Scentsy Warmers use?Our Full-Size Scentsy Warmers use a maximum 25-watt bulb. Scentsy Mid-Size Warmers use a maximum 20-watt bulb, and a Plug-In Scentsy Warmers take a maximum 15-watt bulb. Each warmer comes with a light bulb.
Are Scentsy Warmers UL listed?Each electrical component used in the manufacture of a Deluxe Scentsy Warmer is UL listed: the housing the light bulb screws into, the cord, the plug and the switch. The UL number can be found right on each of the components except the switch (which is too small to include a UL number but does have the “UL” trademark on it).

How do I change the wax in a Scentsy Warmer?For a Full- or Mid-Size Scentsy Warmer, turn the Warmer off first. Then, carefully pour liquid wax back into the original Clamshell if it is still fragrant and you’d like to reuse it, or into a disposable container if to throw it away. Wipe the dish out with a paper towel and you are ready to start with a new fragrance. For a Plug-In Scentsy Warmer, turn the unit off for 30-60 seconds and carefully use a paper towel to wipe the wax out of the warmer.










Jimmie David - My Little Nephew turns ONE

Jimmie David, turned ONE on July 27th. His birthday party was on July 31st at the Big Cheese in Yucaipa. He loved his cake and playing with his big brother and cousin Jaiden. I on the other hand loved taking the pictures for the party and editing them. Enjoy

Potty Trained

Jaiden is FINALLY potty trained. He has had one whole week, seven days without ANY accidents. This rocks. I am so happy to hear Jaiden come get me and say, "I need to go potty, hurry mommy."

No more pull up for day times. He can take a nap and be dry and only goes once or twice in the night. I am so happy

Just had to share

Contentment

I have two reasons for writing this blog about contentment.

con·tent·ment –noun - the state of being contented; satisfaction; ease of mind

My first reason is my Daily Devotions, I get from Leah Evaschuk, each and every morning in my emails.

The second reason is this is something that I am dealing with.

Here is Leah's Daily Devotion on this:
"I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in and and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength." Colossians 4:12-13
My Thoughts: Being content is a battle isn't it? Sometimes we say "Oh when this happens I will be content, oh when we get this bill paid then I will be content, oh when I get this item I will be content." That's not being content. It is possible to be content regardless of what you have or what you have achieved. It is possible to have all or nothing and your contentment still remain the same. Contentment doesn't come with what you have, if you always desire something then you will never be content, and not being content stirs up an unsettling soul. The ability to not be content leaves rooms for idols, and in turn only causes destruction. Not searching or finding contentment will make your heart heavy and it will be so hard to see all the beauty that you do have in your life. The secret to contentment is trusting God.
Pray & Reflect: What do you do to insure your contentment in your life? What could you do better? How are you trusting God in your life? Pray for these things, pray for each other, pray that we all may be content in every situation not asking for more, but say "thank you thank you Lord for what you have given"
I hope all of you have a wonderfully blessed day! I challenge you today to find contentment, when you start to say "oh if only I had, or I wish" take a step back and say "No, THANK YOU Lord for all you have provided, I will trust you, for you know my needs, you will never forsake me."


This was the email I got from Leah on Wednesday of this week, and it really hit me. I found myself through out the day saying, "Thank you Lord for all you have provdied for me and I am content."

It is so true that so many people go thru life each and every day saying, "I would be perfectly content if I just had this or that."

One of those persons is ME. I really needed this Daily from Leah to show me that there are so many things I already have in my life that I need to be content about. The life and love I have is enough to allow me to be content in this world. All the other things are just material items.

More than anything this post was just for me to share with you the great work one daily devotion has done in my life in just the past few days.

Look in your life and see all the things you already have that make your life content. Thank God each and every day for those things. We all have needs and God will provide.
