Earth Hour Tomorrow
While you won't find me hugging any trees things to help minimize our impact on the environment is always a good idea. I have to say that my kids will definitely have the lights out during this hour because they are usually asleep. Not sure if I can convince them to give up the night light, but it is at least an LED light. I did find a website that has more Earth Hour info and other activities for kids and teens. It's earthhourkids.org.
And here is Earth Hour 2009 video:

Some Eye Candy and a Mom Moment
I miss Sunday's Eye Candy, so I'm doing that today. I worked at my kids' preschool today trying to put together the Summer Camp Brochure. That took up most of my time while the kids were in school. Tomorrow I'm going to try to get caught up around the house. My youngest is home with me on Tuesday and Thursdays. I enjoy the one on one time I get with my kids. Friday morning my son has a doctor's appointment so we'll probably have breakfast together before I drop him off at school. My son is quite the conversationalist now that he's older (he's five). On the weekends I make time to spend alone time with each of my kids. Even if it's playing with clay.

Who I am NOT (The blogger quoted at SXSW).
I recently received a comment at my old blog address, craftymom.wordpress.com. The comment mentioned a BBC article written about SXSW and a self proclaimed “geeky mom” named Kim who was quoted as saying "thankless, horrible, awful job that nobody should actually have to do for free - but we do. So blogging is our outlet." I am not the person quoted in this article and it somewhat saddened at the fact that someone would actually feel this way about being a mother. Perhaps she could learn a few things from Dr. Laura. While I disagree with how Kim felt when intereviewed for that BBC article and I did agree with some of the things the comment on my blog said, I did figure one thing out. Please make sure you are commenting on the right person’s blog before you say anything, especially if it’s a tad on the rant-ish side. It just makes for good netiquette.
Also, I do believe moms are underappreciated a lot. So take the time to say ‘thanks’ to your mom or the mother of your children, it’ll make any mom’s day!

Fun Friday
Since the weather in Atlanta is so great! I thought I’d share some places for paper airplane tutorials and other wind powered outdoors things for the kids. Enjoy!

Thursday Thoughts
Not much going on upstairs today. Busy with taking my daughter to gymnastics/dance class and then the kids to the park after school today. The weather in Atlanta is lovely today. She’s outgrowing her no-sew tutu that I made. I picked up some headbands at the dollar store (To use as waist bands instead of the plain white elastic from the craft store) so I could make her another. I also think that I will use at least 3 yards of tulle, perhaps 3.5 to make it really poufy. If you’d like to see how I made it, click here.
My no-sew tutorial was featured on Jan 29th, 2008 on Whip Up.
