Flowers For Mother’s Day

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

It seems I have entered the era of Homemade Mother’s Day Gifts From School – and I LOVE it! This year, I got homemade gifts from all three:

Ariel made me this little pot with aster in it and a card she made in computer class.  The pot is actually a baby food jar coated with melted blue crayon wax. I don’t have a picture yet, but Ariel also surprised me with a beautiful painted terra cotta pot that she made at her friend’s birthday party last weekend!

Kahlan got to pick up a pansy from the green house on their class field trip last week, and they made glittery plant stakes. Kahlan picked the butterfly for me:) He also colored the card for me.

Rayelle got into the action this year in Sunday School which I thought was pretty neat. They made these cute posters.

I even got into the homemade mood. On Saturday, the “sunday” school class I taught made little “stain glass heart” cards for our moms, so I made one to and dropped it off to go with her rose bush we had already given her, lol. I bet it’s been a while since she had crafty little things for mother’s day, lol.

No More Daily Tweets

Saturday, April 19th, 2008

Okay – I have decided to disable the daily tweet posts for two reasons:

1. I either have to start blogging A LOT more, or it will just take over my blog. I don’t have time to make up more things to blog about.

2. Today – I thought about blogging about something, and then I thought – na, I’ll just tweet and it will show up in the digest. Not that it’s a bad idea, but if I start that – this blog will become one long tweet digest, lol.

So no more daily tweets – but don’t worry all my twitter pals, I will still be twittering.

Fixed the Video

What’s In A Name?

Tuesday, December 19th, 2006

Okay – before I get a ton of emails asking WHY I choose Pearls & Peridots as my blog name:

- Peridots are not only my favorite color, but coincidentally, they are also Dave’s birthstone.

- My birthstone is either Alexandrite or, you guessed it – Pearls – and Alexandrites & Peridots just does not have the same ring to it, lol.

SO – for those who haven’t got it yet – Pearls & Peridots are Dave and I, lol. I was going to do Pearls, Peridots & Sapphires (all my kids are September) but it just got to long.

Updates and Stuff

Tuesday, December 19th, 2006

Well, as you can see, I have done a lot of updating today, lol. All the pages and links are still here in the side menu – but I have decided to convert to a blog format because it is just so much easier to update that way. This change came about after I realized today that the site had not been updated since JULY!!!! Besides – we all know how much I LOVE to blog, lol.

So, while my other blogs had a purpose and a plan – this one is just for me:) Here you will here about ME and of course, Dave and the kids to. If you want wedding stuff or parenting stuff – check out my other blogs – this one is all ME ME ME, hehehehe.

Enjoy~
