First off, I really have had a slow time of things around here recently. I have no real fun stuff to fill everyone in on. I am being lazy I admit (watching a lot of TV shows on Netflix), but even still I've gotten little to no mail lately. I got a sample of L'oreal's straight hair line but I don't like it; it made my hair look greasy today and it's just not for me. I will go back to regular shampoo and a leave in; for me, the results I see with that type of product combination are astounding compared to almost everything else I've ever tried.
We have a bobcat or small cougar loose on our property. This feline hunter has killed almost all of my chickens (there is supposedly one hen left). I am very sad about this situation; eggs are so expensive now that I really do need my backyard flock around to keep eggs. I currently do have tons of eggs thankfully so I won't have to make myself sad with purchasing $2 or more a dozen eggs at a regular store.
For my son this summer we've been utilizing TenMarks, an Amazon subsidiary company that has online lessons for school-aged kids through the summer. In the past it was a paid service, but this summer they had it available for free. It has been useful and given us some good lessons regarding shapes, fractions, values (greater than, less than, equal to). We are using it almost every day right now at least once just to keep him doing some kind of work. He is very difficult to teach and stubborn as hell to get into the mood to even do anything, but once I can get him to concentrate for a few minutes he actually does very well. His reading is outstanding, so we have been focusing primarily on math all summer. He has read a chapter in Tom Sawyer out loud to me before and we've read a few pages of Harry Potter book 1 as well. I wish I could get him to really love reading like I do! Just a reminder though - he is only six, so his level of education for his age is outstanding!
I used my Target gift card today to buy my dad a Father's Day card (which will be late, sigh), a pack of paper plates, some candy for Chris, and a box of chocolate raspberry coffee pods for me. It's a rare occasion when I buy myself some K-Cups; they are super expensive but they taste so good with so many crazy flavors. I'm gonna enjoy them for a few weeks while they last.
I am expecting a PINCHme box in the next few weeks (it hasn't shipped yet). I hope to get some new campaigns from my favorite sites soon; we'll see. Keep it freebie in the meantime, guys.
