AVON

I recently became an Avon Representative. I've been ordering from a friend for a while, so I figured since I loved the products, I might as well give it a try for myself. Most of you can't be here and see my books in person, but you can still order off my website: www.youravon.com/tcowan

This website is great for all of you out of town friends because there is no due date for orders, you can pay instantly, and its shipped right to your house. You'll need to register with the website before you start shopping. Make sure you check out the specials under each category.

Here are 2 of my favorite picks for this campaign:

Lip Swirls Gloss

Comes in 6 different shades. I love the pale shimmer color. Small, but not too little to find in your purse for just the right amount of color.







Glimmersticks
Eye Liner


I have 3 of these. LOVE 'em. I had never been a big eye liner user until I bought my first one of these. Oh, and they're cheaper if you buy them online versus out of a brochure.

Happy Birthday Dad!

Festivals

We ventured out in our new town this past weekend. There were several festivals going on in one part of town, so we checked them out with Steph and J.


Our view of the the State Capital. Below it, there were people doing a recreation of the civil war.

German Festival.

Every Blogger Needs A Political Post

Except mine is going to be short and I'm not going to badger anyone into sharing my views, or even tell you who I'm going to vote for. Thats my business, not yours. My point however, is that I want people to know that I do plan on voting. I think everyone should. We're Americans, its our right and our duty.

In Transit

Well, we're doing it again. Packing up our lives in one city to move to another. Today begins our last week in Chattanooga. I'm hoping and praying we can find an apartment on Saturday, sign a lease and get moved half way across the state before Oct 6th. Think we can do it??

When we do move, I'm going to be staying home again with Parker, so I cross my heart that I'll get my blog up and rockin' again. (I gotta keep up with my mom...the blogging fool) So if I don't post it again, I'll say it for the last time - BYE CHATTANOOGA! We're out.

Please remember today.

We're Headed To The Mountains

This is really the cabin we're staying in!



Joey, Parker and I are meeting: my sister and husband, parents and granparents tomorrow for a long weekend! The cabin is creekside so we'll all spend alot of time in the river. Last year Parker wasn't even 1 and had a blast, so this year I'm sure will be even better. I have so many good, fun memories from being there when I was younger with my family and now that I have Parker I have so many things I want to do with him. See ya'll on Monday!

How Old Are You, Parker?

Catchin' Up

We're still alive...and blogging! Our little family has had a busy last couple weeks, and I've gotten behind. So, quickly: Parker is growing like a weed, getting smarter and possibly a little meaner each day. I'm working now and Joey is still truckin' along studying for his CPA. We sold our house, and we're living on a leap of faith right now. So we could use all the positive vibes you've got at the moment!

Parker Had A Fight With The Floor

And the floor won.

Parker should, however, be given credit for his bravery to dive in head first against his ceramic tiled opponent. It happened so quickly, his dad and I are not 100 percent positive as to how he did it, but we do know that he ended up on the kitchen floor screaming with a massive knot on his head. There was no blood, but I've never seen a knot come up that big that quickly. Apparently thats a good thing.

Now me, being the first time over protective mother who has seen too many episodes of CSI, insisted that he be looked at by a doctor. Thankfully, he was checked out and was fine...probably just a little sore. I'm thinking its time we start considering investing in a helmet.

Why Toddlers Shouldn't Use Pens

Luckily, the type of ink Parker chose to decorate himself with came off in the bathtub.
