Groovy SparkleUps Kit Review

 The Beauty Queen turned ten a couple of weeks ago. We spent the weekend at Snowbird enjoying the cooler mountain temperatures, dipping in the pool and enjoying time together. The kiddos were sad when it was time to pack up and leave. When they arrived home, the Groovy SparkleUps Kit, from the Orb Factory were waiting to save the day!

Both my girls are into the Hippie vibe. They love the happy colors and fun designs. I selected the Groovy SparkleUps kit. When The Beauty Queen saw it her eyes lit up and she was giddy with anticipation.

[Groovy SparkleUps 

I remember paint by numbers as a kid. In fact, my mom and I started one when I was maybe eight that involved clowns. Each night we would do one number. Then I had a babysitter, who decided to finish it for us. SparkleUps are like paint by numbers, only instead of paint, they use self-adhering jewels.

Above is a picture of one of the decal pieces from the SparkleUps Groovy kit. It's a shoe fashionable in the 1970s! You match the sparkling jewels to a numbered legend and add to these funky far-out decals numbers to make them fun!

The Groovy SparkleUps kit comes with 15 reusable stickers to decorate mirrors, windows, notebooks, and more! Create totally groovy designs by matching sparkling tiles to a numbered legend.  Best of all, these stickers can be peeled right off with no residue and reused for years to come. That's something I can get behind.

Creating Groovy SparkleUps 

The girls had a great afternoon together matching the jewels to the legend and putting on the decals. And then the fun really began. They put them on their walls, on their iPods, on notebooks and backpacks. They even got silly!

It's been two weeks and the Groovy SparkleUps are still going strong. They are moved continuously as new places are found to add some Hippie Happy too! I'm impressed by the quality and thankful the jewels stay put on the decal.

If you're looking for a quality activity that goes beyond just the "put together" we recommend a SparkleUps kit. They're out of this world fun!

September 2008 Issue of Family Fun

 I always wanted to write. To be a travel journalist, live like a resident, see it as a tourist. It hasn't worked out that way so far... Someday... In the meantime, check out page 80 in the September issue of Family Fun Magazine. In the box on the lower left-hand side of the page is my idea! I love Family Fun Magazine. We have subscribed to it since my second child was born, some fifteen years ago. It's changed some, and some not. It has excellent articles and they are all geared towards being a family...I love that! My favorite section is the cooking articles. I love to try new recipes and FF gears theirs so I can actually cook a great recipe with simplicity so the kiddos can do most of the work! Again, page 80...check it out!

Best Friends: A Reunion After 14 Years

 It had been a long, long time. Unbelievably, time did NOT standstill. People came and went in our lives. It had been fourteen years since I last saw the person who forever will be known as "MY BEST FRIEND." There's no need to hide anything. I was nervous. Those five tenants who rented my uterus for nine months at a time were less than friendly to my body. Not that it should matter, he saw my best and worst side for two years, and now should be no different. Saturday time DID standstill. It seemed to drag on and on. I was introduced to his son. It was like looking through a time machine...he had the same hands, fingers, and fingernails as his dad and his bottom lip matched his. They had the same neck and the shape of their eyes. Wow! Genes are pretty amazing ! I stood against the chain link fence, #72 embedded in my line of vision. He was at the starting line and I was ready to watch him race . It would be the first time I'd seen him race--something he loved. This was

Sometimes Waiting Isn't the Worst Thing

We were giddy and today we learned Sometimes Waiting Isn't the Worst Thing. My grandma called this morning around 11am. She had some errands to run and then she'd be by to visit. She comes over once a week. I usually do her hair and we drink coffee and enjoy being women . My two smaller children were so excited. They refused to nap exclaiming they were waiting for " Charlotte the Great "! By Noon, they were wired from their sleepiness and in need of a nap. So, I promised when Charlotte the Great came, I'd wake them up. By 1pm I was restless. Where was she? My stomach was upset, I contributed this to the six pieces of Hershey's Bliss I'd devoured while waiting. And still...I waited. I really had no place to go, but by 1:30 pm I was feeling like I was late. Like I needed to be somewhere. I think I was just bored and looking forward to "girl time" had me anxious. Then it happened. About 1:57 pm the phone rang. My Grandma on the o
