Pulling together a epic adventure in 3 easy lessons

Morning!
The sun is shining, the birdies are mooing and the cows are performing trigonometry and I have so much work for 2008, it’s insane.
I need to:

update all the IM how-to books I’ve written (pain)
update all the sites that use the CJ eBay information (beyond pain)
revamp the TAA sites (agony beyond comprehension)

If that wasn’t enough, […]

BJJ Gi!

Morning,

I’m thrilled to pieces that instead of having to spend between $60-$100 for a Brazilian Jiujitsu gi, I snagged one off of day for over half. Yippee!
Today will be a most quiet day. BJJ in the morning, advanced karate/kendo/sparring in the evening, and lots of work/kids/etc. during the day. I discovered […]

Karate katas, pre-writing blog posts and more

Morning!

You know, one of the best things about Wordpress is that you can automatically configure it to post in the future, thus giving yourself a break of 2 or 3 days. I spent most of yesterday pre-populating my various blogs with interesting content and setting up the scheduler to post at random times […]

Garage sale season!

Morning,
Yesterday my husband and I was able to enjoy the opening of garage sale season, our tried and true method of relaxing on the weekend. Got some nice goodies - books for the kids, new tool sets for the husband, a 2007 sportng program, a Stuben apple and some computer things for […]

Overdoing it with Spring Break

Morning!
Please click here to continue your search.

Well, if there’s one thing I learned yesterday, it’s that even superMoms like myself can, ahem, overdo it a weeeee bit.
On Thursday, it was such a beautiful day outside that I took the kids to the park instead of karate. While there, I chose […]

Blog redesign, taking a break and more

Morning!
You know, I run several blogs and have expertise in many different industries. Recruiting, marketing, teaching kids, blogging, site building….I’ve just about done ‘em all.
Thus, I’ve decided to turn BarbaraLing.com into my flagship site and move my daily life/raising kids postings to this site (as it’s really my Mom site).
With that, yesterday! […]

Turning children and teens in to the police - heck yes.

Morning!

Just came across this interesting article - to wit:
….If you knew your child committed a crime would you turn him/her in to the police? That’s exactly what one mother did in Wisconsin. When she saw a news report with video footage of her son and his friends, she called the police. The boys robbed […]

Decorate your kids room into a unique hide-away for cheap

Morning!

Just came across this great tip from the Ikea Hacker, to wit:
jo fashions a hideaway for her son - a little nook he can crawl into and get lost at sea. best thing is, most of the stickers and accessories are removable. so once he gets over the penguins-and-fish phase, the room can evolve […]

“Remembering who I am” poem - wonderful!

I just came

across the most marvelous poem for moms and teachers from the Cool Cat Teacher Blog! To wit:
I am not an avatar nor am I an id
I am not my twitter nor my SL identity
I am not my diigo and wikis aren’t me
I’m a mom and a teacher in all […]

Coffee lust

Do you worship coffee?

Does coffee fuel your parenting skills such that your children know that to encounter you BEFORE that crucial morning cup of coffee is to court spine-tingling danger?
If so, I can truly relate - coffee is the lifeblood upon which my parenting operates.
Here are some of my favorite coffee sites that you’ll […]
