SOPA is bad for me and you.

I urge everyone to take the time out of their lives to watch this.. This affects everyone, not only the Americans. Please share this with everyone you know.

Worldess Wednesday

Day 1 through 7 of our "Count down to the Holidays" photos. These are taken after he does his advent calender. :) You can see our re-usable advent calender in the first picture.
He no longer gets chocolate in his advent calender.. He lost that privilege early this year.. haha. So depending on how he's been that day he gets a piece of ginger bread cookie or a sticker. May even throw a few other things in there some time as well.

Scrapbooking Blog: Help with Canucks Scrapbook!

Scrapbooking Blog: Help with Canucks Scrapbook!: "I have decided that since the Canucks had such an amazing season this year I'm going to do a scrapbook to remember it. I sketched out a desi..."

My good friend is looking for some help on her Scrapbook of the Canucks. If you could give her some idea's that will be fantastic, and she will reward everyone by posting pictures of her progress!
As she states it's all for personal use, because she's just that big of a Canucks fan.

Thanks everyone!

Coloring Pages

I have started re-drawing the coloring pages I was making for my pagan resource site.. The Lotus Forest.. I only have one more to do and they are all up to date. I am also looking for people who are talented and would like to donate their talents to create some coloring pages for my non-profit site.

Before and After.

If you would like to donate a coloring page for us to put up on our site you will be credited with a link to a website of your choice (your DA, website, blog.. etc)..
The requirements for the pages is that they have to be pagan/nature related, be proper printing paper size, and have the words "The Lotus Forest" somewhere on the page.

Pagan Worksheets for Kids

I have started a new project for my Pagan resource site.
I have noticed that online there are a tonne of resources for homeschooled kids or preschoolers.. But none of them include Pagan related work.. There where Christianity, Common Holidays and even animals.. But I couldn't find anything for my son that was Pagan related.
SO, I took it upon myself to create some! I posted them online, for free, for other parents to use as well!


preview..


If you know of other sites that have sheets like this, then comment and let me know! I will post links to those sites on The Lotus Forest. :)

what?!

Can I cry now? Is that allowed? Do I have time for that even??

At first I complained that I wouldn't get enough hours to support my family.. Things finally balanced out and now they are changing things again!
Short notice, tomorrow is my only day off.. I have to work 37 hours next week. Sure, for the most part this may seem like a good thing. But we were living just fine off of me working 28 hours a week, and even that made me stressed and tired. 37 hours? I work six days straight.. I don't know If my body can handle that.. I want to cry just thinking about it.. Then, after this week I was told I will probably be working 9 - 6, five days a week. Maybe, they don't know yet.. I currently worked 10 - 5, four days a week.. It was a good thing.

My boyfriend works nights.. So on the days I work and he did as well, he would come home and sleep for two hours to take the edge off before I had to leave. Then he would sleep right when I got home if he had to work that night or stay up and come to bed with me if he didn't. We were getting some structure down...
Now, if I have to work those hours he has to stay up and wait till I get home after work to nap because he needs to watch our son. I have to walk home, takes about a half hour/fourty five minuets.. That meens I wont sleep till' about seven and then have to get up at eleven thirty to work.. Then do it all over agian. He wont have time to sleep!

So, not only am I worried about my already frail body falling deeper.. but im worried about my boyfriends health and in turn our son's for having to deal with cranky, over worked parents and not getting to go outside as often as he should because we are to tired or don't have time.

So, really.. Are these extra hours, for extra money to go to luxury's we wont have time for, worth it? No, I don't think so..

Scrapy Tuesday

The day I decided I would post what I have done in my son's baby book, and other scrapbooking adventures!

This is what I have so far. You can see I am not very experienced, and the older ones look nice, but not fantastic. I am very pleased with the two newest ones I have done!
