What's hot with Tupperware

If you've thought about hosting a Tupperware party, now is the time to do it! You can host an actual party in your home, host a catalog party, or host an on line party!

I've mentioned before how great Tupperware is to their hosts. They are being extra generous right now! Between November 14-27, just host a party with $450 in party sales (which is the average party). Tupperware will give you an extra $68 in Host Credit for FREE! Add that to the Host Credit you earned for the party sales and you have $136 in Host Credit to buy anything you want out of the Holiday 2009 catalog! That's amazing! Let me know if you are interested.

Tupperware has also put together some great gift sets! Go take a look!

I love the things they say....

We were on the way home last night, when the following took place. Barnabas who is 4 announced loud and clear, "Mommy, you passed gas." ☺


Mordecai was in the front seat and we just looked at each other and cracked up! Then, Mordecai realized what Barnabas was saying. On the way to church I told the children to remind me to stop at the gas station on the way home to fill up. Well, I had just driven past a gas station when Barnabas made his little announcement! He was reminding me to stop and wondered why I passed gas! It was even funnier when we realized what he was saying!!!!

"A joyful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones." Proverbs 17:22

Good-bye to Piper

I think this post should've come before the previous one, but I digress.

We found a new home for Piper because he was growling and snapping at our children. He did it when we first got him, but we thought he would get used to us. He was very attached to me, and only tolerated the children (and Chris). And, the whole reason we got a dog was for the children!

It was hard for me to get rid of him, but the family that has him now is really nice. Hopefully he is loving his new home! ♥

So, that is why we have a new dog! We told the children that we would start looking for a dog that would love them and play with them. Little did we know it would be so soon! ☺

I know that all of you have strong opinions when it comes to children and pets, especially then they relate. So, I'm curious. What do you think? Should we have kept Piper or were we right to find him a new home?

I know it's possible that you're thinking he looks so cute and sweet in the pictures with the children. Well, watch the video....and then we'll talk!

What's hot with Tupperware

I signed up as a Tupperware consultant back in August, so I thought I would update what's been going on. I have a website that you can check out. You can view an online catalog there and also see what sales and specials are going on.

My very first party was a HUGE success because of the host(s)! She sent out an e-mail to her co-workers that she had a Tupperware catalog if anyone was interested. Over a week's time she collected $$$ worth of orders! She was surprised, but obviously pleased. Tupperware rewards their hosts, so she was able to get everything that she wanted plus some for FREE! It also helped me to qualify for a small leather make-up bag and a 5% cash bonus! Yay :0)!

Since we took off most of September on our R.V. trip, I didn't do any parties in September.

I had another party a couple of weeks ago with an old friend and it was a lot of fun. And, it's so much fun to meet new people! This host was also surprised what she was able to get for FREE and 1/2 price.

I have several parties lined up for November and I'm looking forward to those! If you would like to host a party with me, let me know! This is a great time with the holidays coming up! Just for booking a party, I will give you one of those cute little Tupperware key chains! :0)

Happy Birthday to Priscilla

♫Happy 1st Birthday to Priscilla♫

On October 3rd, Priscilla turned one year old! Wow! Time has really flown by! (I think I say that with every child's birthday)

Here are a couple of pictures of Priscilla the day she was born. Such a little beauty!







I made Priscilla a little cake just for her to make a mess with. As you can see in the picture, she was hesitant! She touched, tasted, smiled, and was done! The other children were disappointed to say the least! They wanted her to rip it apart and really make a mess of herself!!! So, we ended up helping her a little! She LOVED all the attention and singing; that was her favorite part!



♥ We are so thankful that the Lord blessed us with Priscilla. She is such a sweet addition to our family. ♥

Update since we've been home

We haven't "tied up all the loose ends" from our trip as far as reporting about it here. Several of you have told us that...multiple times. So this post is for you! Sorry it's taken me so long to get it published on here!

The Friday after returning, Jennifer went to see our family doctor to get her foot checked. The P.A. took one look and decided to refer her to an Orthapedic Surgeon named Dr. Morgan. He was able to see Jennifer the same day, so off she went. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was taken back for a x-ray of her foot and ankle. Dr. Morgan showed Jennifer the x-ray and explained that she had broken two bones in her foot. He also assured her that surgery would not be needed, and that she should continue to wear the big, black boot for a few more weeks. He also fitted her for a smaller brace that can be worn after that to give some support to her ankle. Jennifer will return in 3 weeks (which will be Oct. 9) for a follow up to see if the bones have healed.

After we got home, the rain came and came. The dealership where the tow truck took the R.V. was right in the midst of lots of flooding. Thankfully, they didn't get flooded, but they closed for 4 or 5 days. When they were able to get back to work they fixed the fuel pump and a few other things attached to it. They called to tell us they also found a small pinhole in one of the hoses to the transmission! SO, they also repaired that! We finally went to pick it up and bring it home! Once back home we unpacked everything and cleaned up the R.V. It sure is nice to be home!

Thanks for following us on this great adventure! And, thank you for praying for our family!
