Claire: “Do you know why I don’t like things that aren’t sweet, Momma?”
Me: “Why?”
Claire: “Because they aren’t sweet!”
Well, that makes perfect sense to me!

Have you taken my survey yet?
It’s short.
It’s sweet.
It’s giving me all kinds of cool information.
(You can read more about it here.)
Of course, the “Are you the kind of person who takes surveys?” question is implied.
So, really, the information I’m getting is great…as it applies to people who take surveys.
There’s really no way around that…is there?
Luckily, a lot of people are falling into that category.
What about you? Are you the kind of person who would agree to take a survey? Click here if you know the answer to that question.
Saturday after Ballet Class, Claire told me that she jumped so high her head got stuck in the ceiling! She said it was “a disaster!” and that Miss Michelle couldn’t even get her down!
Apparently, I’m getting better at doing the Ballet Bun, because not a single hair on her head had moved after such an adventure.
As I was browsing through Target today, I noticed something ironic, and I just had to take a photo of it. That’s the fun of having a camera everywhere I go (even if it is in the form of a phone).
Needless to say, I decided to go with a brand that can actually get their product to stick to the packaging…
I am working on a project involving opinions about MLM companies, and I need your help!
What is an MLM?
Wiki has a great definition of what an MLM is.
It also has a list of different types of MLM companies.
Basically, MLM stands for Multi-Level Marketing and refers to a company that manufactures and sells products to an Independent Sales Force. That Independent Sales Force then sells the products directly to their client base. Those sales force members are also able to recruit other people onto their teams, and then those people sell directly to their own clients, and so on.
I am interested in gathering information from people who have experience in an MLM as a sales person and/or recruiter (either currently or in the past) and from people who have never been in an MLM.
Either way, I think you qualify to give your opinion!
I had fun putting the survey together, but building it was a bit like writing a Choose-Your-Own-Ending Book…only without someone dying in the end.
All of the answers I gather will be kept confidential and anonymous. (I won’t know who is telling me what; I’m only interested in the what…not the who.) All the information will be used for research purposes only. The survey is short and will only take a couple minutes to complete.
Will you help me? Pretty please, with a maraschino cherry on top?
I just came up with a fun little snack idea, and I just thought I’d share!
All you need is butcher string and a bag of pretzels.
What you do:
- Cut the butcher string to the proper preschooler necklace length. (I chose butcher string since it is being used with a food product.)
- String on the pretzels.
And, that’s it!
This is a great way to have an afternoon snack…
…and Claire seems to like it, too. 
It worked, but I vowed from then on to either get a new pair of scissors or just let the professionals handle it.
When it was time for a trim, we found a professional salon that specialized in cutting little girls’ hair, and it was right next door to the photo studio we’d frequent…so it was perfect!
Until they closed.
Then, I found a new salon, farther from the photo place, but closer to our house, and they were okay…but I just wasn’t satisfied. Her bangs would be crooked or not quite right, but it was better than putting myself through the stress of having to cut hair with a dull pair of scissors. Right?
Well, Claire has decided that she wants to grow her hair long in the back, and last night, she asked if she could get her bangs trimmed.
Today I got a wild idea. I’d buy a “real” pair of hair cutting scissors and give it a try. How hard can it be? Well, I was amazed. Cutting her bangs was nerve-wracking at first, but I did it! The more I do it, the easier it will be.
When we were done, she requested her hair be put in a bun, and she topped off the look with one of her crowns.
My “real” pair of hair cutting scissors officially paid for themselves today.
And, yes, I’ve hidden them. If I don’t hide them, they won’t be the “good pair” for long, now will they?
Claire and I had a chance to check out a new storytime at The Children’s Museum of Denver!
Pop on over to Mile High Mamas and check it out!

Picture the sign hanging on my computer monitor today:
Gone Fishing.
Posting may be light today, and my online presence may be a bit fleeting.
But don’t worry…I’ll be back in time to see the beginning of the end of LOST. I mean, a girl’s gotta have priorities.
