Malaria No More and Save The World Summer

Today we got a bit on myspace from Brooke White telling us to go to malarianomore.org .   Seeing this, I pretty much thought Brooke would be the new spokesperson for the organization like Melinda Dolittle and Jordin Sparks were last year.  And yup, she is!  

But it goes beyond that.  She is encouraging kids all over to pick a cause and raise money during the summer for it.  Katrina is a little girl with a huge heart always wanting to help those less fortunate and when we read about Malaria and how a child dies every 30 seconds in Africa from it, her poor heart just looked like it was about to break!  She decided she right then she wanted to open a lemonade stand and a bake sale and sell jewelry we were making earlier today to raise money for bed nets.  (She didn't even get to the part that the kid who raises the most money wins 2 AI Finale Tickets).  

So, being the mom that I am, I am trying to get the word out and help all I can.  I posted a donation button at brookesbandwagon.com for those who want to help.  Please let all your friends and other family members know.  Malaria is a completely preventable disease that was eradicated from the United States more than 50 years ago.    Please join Katrina and I in this cause!

Thanks,

Lexa and Katrina M.

Does this new layout work?

I was experimenting with different layouts, and I loved the feel of this one, but it's so different I wonder if it works with others computers.  It is considered a "stretch" layout, meaning when you expand or shrink your browser window it goes with it.  I only worry that some people are going to get one word per line when I post pictures (see below blog post). 

Let me know if this one works, or if I need a "standard" template. 

Take care

A Fun New Thing for Lexa

So I just let the cat out of the bag so I thought I would post it here.  I am an official Independent Beauty Consultant with Mary Kay now.  I had been buying a huge amount of product, and my consultant leaned over and said, "You know, why aren't you a consulant if you are buying this much product?"  So, I decided she was right.  You have to be your best customer!

So if anyone wants to be on my mailing list and get FREE samples and fun stuff, email me (lexahuny@gmail.com) with your mailing address, and if you can't wait for a brochure, you are more than welcome to shop online at www.marykay.com/Lexa

Since a blog just isn't as fun without pictures, I'm posting a few of my new "color" looks here.  I have a new one every day, and the lighting isn't great but I wanted to share!

I swear I'll finish this post.

I have started about four blogs in the past month, and I can't finish the darn things.  I supposed that is me to a T.  Perhaps I have some psychological subconscious fear about finishing a project.   I feel like that some days.  

I have one started all about Taylor, with pictures of him to celebrate his birthday.  I have been tagged one too many times and I forget to finish them.  I have witty observations that I forget to post and then when I go back to finish the post I forget what the punchline was.  

Today is the first day I have decided to get to work on our "summer schedule"  We are signing up for swimming lessons today, and have play dates planned for Tuesdays, Free Movies and Library on Wednesdays, and Baking/Cooking/Sewing for the girls on Thursdays.     Along with me joining a gym today and doing some water aerobics!  I'm excited.  It's been a long school year and I finally can make my own schedule instead of following the kids.  

Let me know what you all are planning for summer!
