May 9, 2008 Weekend Challenge

Sunday is Mother's Day, and my challenge for you is to reach out to the Mom's you love. Reach out to all the special women in your life that have made an impact on you.

For me, I am going to do something a little different this year.

This year, I am going to be sending a special ecard. Women for Women International is doing something amazing. When you go to their Mother's Day homepage, you can read about Elizabeth and her story of triumph, and you can also send a special ecard to your favorite Mom that can help change the life of a Mother who is a survivor of war. On the website they explain it best...

 

"Your Mother's Day Donation Makes 3 Women Happy. You get the gratification of knowing you're helping a woman survivor of war, the woman you honor feels the special joy of being loved and a woman who lives half a world away gets the tools she needs to build a better life."

I'm not sure if it can get better than that. So grab your credit card, head on over to Women For Women International's Mother's Day page and make three women happy with a click of a button.  This challenge, you can't pass up!

Happy Mother's Day to all!

Clean Up Challenge!

On Sunday, we grabbed the kids and a neighborhood friend and we took a walk around the neighborhood. It was amazing to see the amount a trash we picked up in our "clean suburban" neighborhood.

I knew we were doing the right thing when Z Man (the 5 year old) said,"We are doing something that is good for the earth."

I was filled with pride and all I could say was, "You bet, buddy!"

Friday is for George!

This just happened to me last week!

Alvin and the Chipmunks

Alvin and the Chipmunks have changed quite a bit since I was a kid. This is what it looked like twenty five years ago...

We just watched the 2007 Alvin and the Chipmunks movie this weekend with the kids. We all enjoyed it! I thought I would share one of the Turner Family's favorite scenes

If you get a chance, rent it. Better yet, join Netflix and make your life really easy!

Top Five Favorite Things

Z Man is one funny kid. Out of the blue he came up with his top five favorite things...

1. Space Jam
2. Dairy Queen
3. Broccoli
4. Tom and Jerry
5. Mommy

I guess I should feel happy that I made the list!

Learning New African Games

There is a lot to be learned from the children here at Saint Monica's Children's Home... including some new games to play when I get home. My husband recorded this piece of our conversation this morning via Skype.

Singing To Juli Via Skype

I called my sister-in-law, Juli, to let the girls sing to her. She came with me on my last trip to Saint Monica's Children's home. (She was in tears after this.)

At the end of the song they spontaneously shouted "don't touch" in Swahili. It was Juli's nickname while in Africa, since she was constantly telling them not to touch her camera. :)
