After 3 months of living without a kitchen, endless amount of dust, sweeping, mopping, elbow grease, and dozens of tradesmen putting their skills to work, our long awaited kitchen renovation is finally complete. The experience of functioning without a kitchen when you have two toddlers was challenging but we all survived. Here are the before and after shots.

With a few craft supplies laying around your house,  your kids can make some simple art projects that will be sure to keep them busy for hours. If you don’t have any craft materials at home, your local arts and crafts store may carry all the necessary materials. Here are a few projects I made with my kids.

Last week my niece Jade and her friend Helen entered the Habitat for Humanity Dream House Contest, a non-profit organization which builds homes for low to no income families in the United States and won first prize in the 10- year-old division. Their goal was to build and create a house entirely out of paper mache using their own imagination and concept. Inspired by Greek mythology, they constructed the house paying homage to the Greek Nymph, a female spirit which lives in mountains, groves, springs, rivers, and trees (hence the paper mache tree). I am so proud of Jade and Helen for not only taking home first prize, but for creating awareness to such a great organization. Great job girls!

I.D. Me Personalized Name Labels were put to the real test last week when I lost my Apple iTouch at a tradeshow. This PDA carries nearly two thousand contacts and an amazing array of useful applications. It wasn’t that I didn’t have everything backed up and all was lost forever (except for game scores). It’s that my prized possession also stored my banking and financial information, childrens’ photos, users IDs, passwords, and more. The loss was a real kick in the stomach; devastating really. I thought I’d never see it again because the label with all my contact information attached to it didn’t evoke an immediate response. Three days passed until I received that amazing phone call from the person who found it. Without the I.D. Me label, positive identification of my iTouch would’ve been nearly impossible. And folks, here’s an important tip: Always create a user password for your phone or personal device so that if you lose it, your information cannot be extracted and used against you. Also, become label crazy (I’m a believer after this recent experience) and I.D. everything you possibly can! Thanks I.D. Me Labels for saving my life!!!!
