Vote for Ford!

We have always been told Ford is photogenic.  Both of my boys are handsome of course, but Ford photographs really well.  So, when I received something in the mail from Koo Koo Bear Kids saying that they were looking for the next model for their catalog and all you had to do was come in the store and have your child’s picture taken by James Hill Photography – for FREE I jumped right on it.  He was not so excited to do it, and I don’t think the picture is his best.  However, if he gets picked it could be really good for us financially.  So, please take a minute to click on this link and cast your vote.  All you have to do is enter a comment!  Thanks so much in advance.

Do the Right Thing

by Cayce on April 9th, 2009 | No Comments »

As parents we pray that our children will make the right choices.  We teach them to “do the right thing”.  We try to set a good example.  I find that my efforts pay off when I talk to their teachers, or their friends parents.  When I hear of how they handled certain situations without me there to help them make decisions.  The following story is about my best friends six year old son, Parker.  I know she must be proud.

Parker and two of his classmates were coming out of the library and spotted a $100 bill.  They immediately brought it to their teacher who asked if they ever thought about keeping it.  They children said that it did not belong to them so they wanted to turn it in.  The teacher nominated them for the Lee County “Do the Right Thing” award and they were honored by the sheriff’s department and received letters from Congressman Connie Mack and Senator Bill Nelson.

I am not sure my six year old would have turned it in.  I think this is very impressive.

How cool is this?

First of all, for those of you who were reading my blog, I apologize for disappearing for a while there. Times are crazy right now, and I just haven’t been feeling like I had a whole lot positive to say. And that is what it is all about here at Chickatees. Today, however,I do have something really cool to share with you.

My parents were here this past weekend and my mom took me shopping. Isn’t she the best? I am 36 years old and she still ENJOYS buying me clothes. We had a lot of fun. We went to Ann Taylor Loft because I love that store, and I love their sales. When we checked out they put a flyer in our bag that says this “we’ll help you find the perfect fit”  LOFT and Goodwill Industries invite you to donate your gently-worn pants to charity and save $15 on a new pair March 2-8″. It excludes denim.

I am all about doing things for others and donating when I can. And these days in particular I am all about saving money. How cool to be rewarded for donating something other than just for the tax write-off! I had to share. Go to their website for more details.

Adorable Girls Clothes

I have to share this company Ice Cream Shop Designs with you. I did several craft shows this fall selling my Chickatees products. There are so many creative women out there selling lots of cool, hand made items. I really like these dresses in particular. Obviously, in my house with two boys there is no need for me to be buying any, but if I had girls I would buy one of everything she makes. The owner, Gwen Leonard, is a mom at the school my oldest attends. She handmakes each item. The best part – they are affordable. Check out her website to see for yourself. She has super cute little beach cover ups for girls, and while it is freezing outside summer is right around the corner. Would also be a great gift!
