Year in Pix 2017

2017 Review & Happy New Year 2018

Follow my blog with Bloglovin Well Januaray has come and almost gone. I haven't updated this blog in so long. I feel like as we entered the higher grades of school my interests have changed as my son is older and doesn't want to be on social media I have more time for interests like fashion and design, bible journaling, wellness, and just dating hubs when he can. I had a really busy 2017 traveling to Vegas, I got to see the Grand Canyon, NY twice, came back to greet Irma only to pick up and landed in Alabama to a primitive camp ground, then we went on a cruise, and lastly to Orlando for Ice at the Gaylord Palms. It was a pretty amazing year.

Review of New York Biology's Retinol

Made in the USA, I love that!

This is a great product. It makes my skin feel soft and smooth! That surprised me, happily. It takes very little to cover the entire face and absorbs quickly. It does not feel greasy or leave a film on your skin. I was very skeptical about using Retinol. I am 51 and starting to get fine lines. I used it before bed and definitely felt a slight tightening sensation that made me feel good. It also felt moisturizing at the same time. My face was night stiff, or feel like it had a mask on. It just felt so smooth. I kept touching my face. I have used some different skin care but none that made my face feel smooth.   
I feel like what it says on the box is what it delivered to me.  I cannot wait to see the results after using it for awhile longer.

The packaging is great also. I love how the pump dispenses a the right amount, then is clean when you grab the product.  
It doesn't have crazy perfume scent, which I also appreciated.

Directions say:
Apply all over face and neck after washing skin. Lightly massage with fingertips. Can be used once or twice a day.  I chose to use it at night to work while I slept. I have read when using Retinol to start slow and low. I have never used a Retinol product so that is why I used it at night. 
This is definitely a good one. I did receive this in exchange for an honest review.

Overall I am very happy with this cream. Thank you so much New York Biology for making a great working product.

While I am in Planning/ Journaling mode...Here is a RAK

I have been watching some Periscopes recently and just won a RAK (Random Acts of Kindness).
So it is my turn to pay it forward. Which I am happy to do and bless someone.

I just popped on Ladybug Stampin's scope and was happy to play a game, I never expected to win or want to win the stuff. I just really enjoyed playing. I am hoping you will enjoy the game to be announced on the scope.  You must follow me at thewifeypoo on Periscope and be in the chat to win.
The rules seem to be 25 on to start the giveaway. So be sure to share it out.

There will be a lil something for Homeschool moms, Stamper moms, Scrapping moms, & Planner moms.

So here it is. An album with paper starters, Stampin' Up Crayon Cuties, Making Memories glitter flowers, and felt petals, Pink ribbon that was from my mom, Project life cards, washi, personal size folder, creative memories, and project life stickers, and Confidence to Teach by Debbie Strayer.

So follow me on Periscope and be on to play the game.

Convention 2016

This will probable by the last one I attend. Joe will be starting 8th grade in July and I don't really feel like I need to go to Orlando again. Maybe I will just get the recordings after this.

I just got these Frixion pens from Pilot, they are erasable. They come out like a marker but they do not bleed. I think they are pretty cool. I am a little obsessed the paper & pen products.
I also just got a new Filofax Original Personal planner. I am hoping this takes care of  all the things I need to do in one book.
The last year I have been toting around at least three books, one for our fam biz, one for my south home school group, one for my north home school group, and sometimes one for just for me to jot personal stuff in. My back has had enough!

I am new to the decorating planner and I made a mess out of a few pages but I will get better!

I am enjoying the Pilot Frixion Pens. They will add nice color to the planner.

May is so busy!

I have a really busy this May with my home school groups. I am the Middle School coordinator of one and the VP of another. I also just realized I admin 12 pages on Facebook alone, along with this blog and one group web site. I also schedule appointments and answer the phone for our family biz.

 Joe getting a plumbing lesson 

We have had our K-8th grade graduation, our very formal High School graduation, we just did our annual two day used book sale, end of the year beach party. 

It was filled with happy tears.

Got books?

 Tonight I have the Birthday Club dinner, then Friday night is the last MNO for my north group.

Next week doesn't slow down either with Dr's appointments, and our states Home School Convention (yay!).

My south group is also busy and doesn't stop for the summer because we are a mom's support group as well as a home school support group.

As with everything give praise, and do all things to the glory of God. I am so blessed and honored to have wonderful people in my life.
