The time has come for us to start thinking about heading back to school. Charlie will be going to Pre-K which means school for the very first time this year. I’m excited but also a little nervous. My boy has been with me almost 24 hours a day 7 days a week for the past 4.5 years and suddenly he will be going to school 5 days a week. All I can say is Thank Heavens it will only be for half day. When we head to school for the first day you can rest assured Elmer’s is our choice of glue. I can remember using it to make palm prints. Please tell me I wasn’t the only person that did this. Slathering glue on to your hand, letting it dry and then peeling it off in one huge piece to see the finger prints.

The Elmer’s Virtual Bag It Forward is charity blog meme, bloggers are able to raise $10 per blog post for Adopt-A-Classroom by writing a blog post and donating a virtual bag of school supplies . Elmer’s will donate $10 per each post written to Adopt-A-Classroom, up to $10,000.

Posted by: Holly | Comments (3)

Introducing ProFlowers

From ProFlowers:

  • Flowers fresh-from-the-start

ProFlowers started with a single farm in California, shipping just 500 rose bouquets for Valentine’s Day. 10 years later, we serve more than 7 million customers with 185 fresh cut varieties from eight different countries around the world.

At each one of our farms, employees and experts nurture the flowers from bud to blossom, ensuring only the best-of-the-best get picked for your bouquet.

Summer Blog Tour

Posted by: Holly | Comments (26)

Yeah! Today is my day to be featured at the Summer Blog Tour. Not sure what the Summer Blog Tour is? The wonderful ladies at Living My Moment and The Work At Home Woman decided to hold a Summer Blog Tour where each day they would feature one blog. 60 days of blogs to read, watch and comment on. I’ve been having a blast visiting some really interesting sites, some new and some our long time favorites.

Here at I Like It Frantic you can read all about my frantic life with a husband and two kids, a full time job and being a full time student. Also found are reviews of various products and giveaways to help promote those companies I believe in and use.  This month it just so happens that I teamed up with two other ladies to hold The Carefree Days of Summer Event where we are reviewing and GIVING AWAY tons of products. Make sure you check out the giveaways to see what fantastic products there are. IF you decide to enter make sure you leave an extra 2 comments saying you’re from the summer tour.

While you’re here can you take a second to jump over to my posts about the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure® section? I’m working on fundraising and have a neat idea. I’ve already raised $200 but need to keep going.

7 Link Challenge

Posted by: Holly | Comments (2)

There are often times when I write/read a post that I think some people missed or maybe tons of people read it so I’d like others to see more of it. It just so happens that Problogger’s Challenge today is called the 7 Link Challenge.  The challenge was brought to my attention by Stacie who is an amazing blogger.

  1. My very post was (other than baby journal posts) was a Thousand Words Thursday.
  2. Writing all my posts has been enjoyable but the one I loved writing/vloging the most was The Big Reveal.
  3. If you’re looking for some interesting discussions you should check out anything in the Eliza Metz series but the first post was the humdinger.
  4. Growing older from Tasha is one of the funniest reads I’ve had lately.
  5. My most helpful post is easy: How to fix a broken Flip camcorder lens
  6. I’m proud of A 3 Day Weekend as a title.  I think it was a great play on words. :)
  7. The post I wish more people read is simple: I am the Mother of Four.

The View: Mel Gibson and Bloggers

Posted by: Holly | Comments (5)

The Ladies of The ViewThe big hot topic all week was Mel Gibson, his girlfriend and the tapes on Radar Online. So Monday Whoopie stated that she had personal experience with Mel and didn’t feel he was a racist. She further stated that even though that was the case she did not agree with the recordings and was sickened over the recordings and the way this woman was treated. I’m sickened as well. NO person should be treated like this. I do have issues with the fact that she released these recordings to what is basically a tabloid website rather than going straight to the police but that’s not my place to decide.

But then Wednesday Whoopie revealed some further news. She had received phone calls at her office regarding the fact that she had said Mel wasn’t a racist and how horrible she was. I’ve been a supporter of Whoopie for a long time but was really turned off today. I would hope that she put emphasis on the wrong words in her statement BUT I for one was rather upset by the disdain she used in her statement when she said “All of you nice bloggers out there, and all the folks that sit around at home and try to figure out stuff to do” Just doing a quick google search found several media outlets that had picked up this story not just bloggers. And Ms. Goldberg please know this blogger doesn’t just sit at home trying to figure out something to do nor do 100% of the other bloggers I know. Many of us run our blogs as a full time job and for some of us it is a full time job on top of a other jobs. In my particular case, I work a full time job from home while raising 2 children, running a household, going to school full-time AND blogging. I in no way thought you were racist for standing up for Mel. I’m sorry that your office staff was harassed that was inappropriate and if it continues I would hope you would take appropriate measures, but please do not lump all of us under one category.

What are your thoughts? Am I over reacting? You can watch Wednesday’s show online. The rant I’m talking about starts right around 8.5 minutes into the show.

DISCLOSURE – I was given financial compensation from ABC Daytime to write this blog.  My reviews and recommendations are always my own and represent my genuinely held opinions.

Counterfit Money . . . IN SPANISH

Posted by: Holly | Comments (2)

I’m all for embracing different cultures but guys are you really that unintelligent? Why yes, two men from Prince William County were that unintelligent!

One of the bills. (Pr. William Police)

The phrase BILLETE DE LA SUERTE ALASITAS, the clue in that this money was a fake, actually means Good Luck Ticket and is found in Peru and Bolivia for a fiesta of Alasitas. The money was originally found on one man after he was pulled over on suspicion for DUI and then found later on his friend who was also intoxicated and then arrested for DUI. The US secret service has stated they have encountered these bills 125 times in the past year as it has made its way throughout the Federal Reserve and from different countries. Someone in England is selling them and others fake notes on Ebay.

Notice to all those making money, make sure its in English before you start circulating it. And to shop owners, please pay closer attention to what you are accepting. I’d hate to see you receive this fake money as payment. I have to admit at first glance it does look like real money right?

Extreme Home Makeover: Baltimore

Posted by: Holly | Comments (1)

Extreme Home Makeover is working right now in Baltimore and needs volunteers. You can check out what all they need at ABC 2. If you can help please take a few minutes to pop over to the ABC2 news website and let them know you’re available.

I would love to help out but have no skills and no day care this week. I would also love to send an application in for my sister. But I’m thinking we’ll wait awhile. Obviously they’re working in the area now so I’m sure they won’t be back to Maryland for awhile.
