So proud of him

I don’t brag about my husband much, i barely even write about him.  It’ s not that i don’t want to. he is just a private person.  But today i’m going to go ahead and do a little bragging.

a little more info on my hubby. (jack) We met 5 years ago, through my step brother. He went join the army, and after his first tour in iraq, we decided to take our relationship to a serious level and got married.  After another deployment and 3 kids we are still together growing strong.

After the army my hubby decided that the best path for our family is for him to go back to school. he has spent the last 3 years in college studying chemistry.  he will graduate next year with a bs in chemistry with a cconcentration in biochemistry and a bs in biology.

I’m bragging today because my hubby got UNCG’s highest honor, along with about 40 other students.

I’m so proud of him!101_1816

Dudley’s solo review

   I recieved a great childrens book to review. Dudley’s solo. The book was very fun and my daughter took to it immediatly. she wanted to read it over and over.  so after a couple times, she had to read on her own(try at least she’s only 4).

dudley is deaf, but that doesn’t stop him from being just like the other kids in children’s band.  Even though he can’t hear or speak he manages to amaze everyone and fit in with his own solo at the choir concert.

I really like this book, it has a great message. Just because someone is different doesn’t mean they can’t fit in. i tried to explain that to my daughter and tell her not to treat people different either.

i would recommend reading this to your child it is a great book

The Author:

Tiffany Alexander resides in Atlanta, Ga., and works as an editor for CNN. She is a member of the Independent Books Publishers Association, The National Association of Black Journalists, Hampton University Alumni Association and the African-American Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators. She is currently working on the next book in the Children’s Band series called “Ebenezer Opens a Savings Account.” For more information, please visit www.ChildrensBand.com.

Tiffany Alexander believes it is possible to teach children to embrace the qualities that make them different. In her new children’s book, “Dudley’s Solo” (Alexander Vision LLC, March 2009), Alexander reveals how positive attitudes can change the way we tackle obstacles in our lives. She speaks to kids and parents alike on embracing our differences, being thankful for our God-given talents and realizing the importance of helping others.

“Growing up visually impaired had a tremendous impact on my life,” says Alexander, who was legally blind until middle school. “I could do what most of the kids could do, but I always had limitations. As hard as it was to be different, I gained inner-strength and the desire to persevere no matter what.”

“Children’s band was instrumental in my spiritual and social growth. Like Dudley, this is where I received my earliest encouragement,” Alexander says. “The other kids and I learned the importance of volunteering, being a good citizen, and mostly importantly, I learned that I could do anything if I put my mind to it.”

“Dudley’s Solo” encourages kids to

have self-confidence and to believe in themselves

embrace their differences

never give up on something you really want and

find the positive lesson in every challenge they are handed.

my blogging status

I’ve just changed my theme on my blog. it it customized NO. but whatever. it isn’t about having the best blog design.  I did it mainly to have my comments numbered.

I’ve gotten a large amount of traffic lately, it’s not the best but it’s getting there. i adverage 100 visitors a day.  you know people have told me to make my blog better i could get my own domain and get my layout customized. to me it’s just a waste of money.

this is my personal blog, and yes i do reviews and giveaways from time to time. if a rep or company is going to be so shallow as to not contact me because i don’t have my own domain. then screw them.

i am not here for free stuff, i am here because this is my hobby. blogging is my way to the world. i am a sahm, i don’t get out much and don’t have very many in person friends. don’t really care too, actually. if people want to meet me and hang out fine, but having friends online is just as great.

i’m tired of being flooded with questions about contacts, and people flooding the blogosphere with i want i want.

seriously if you are to lazy to get off your ass and buy it then there is something wrong with you. review things that fit your needs and family.  don’t set out to find the hannah montana rep, because your daughter wants the new cd or doll.

i rarely contact reps anymore for this reason, because me having blogged for 2 1/2 years and getting some good traffic is getting shot down, because pr reps are flooded, by people who have just want free stuff.

half of the stuff i’ve reviewed has either been given away, being put to good use. i’ve never contacted a rep because i wanted something. i’ve contacted them because i thought it would be good info fo rmy readers or bring traffic.

if i hear one more person say “we never have to buy anything again” i’m going to scream, don’t have that frame of mind.

my opinion, if you don’t agree then move along
