When you know you are the … Q-U-E-E-N

I love to find cool products to sell to like minded individuals like myself.  I’m driven, busy as heck, successful (in my own head) and superb at multi-tasking.  The latest products I’m loving are my handpainted cocktail glasses, especially the Queen of Everything black and silver glass.  I know that I am certified and Queen of Everything, plus I have the experience to prove it.  Let’s do a little recap.

How You Earn the Title, “Queen of Everything”???

• Kids look to whom when they are sick, hungry or need an extra hug? ~ ME
• Husband looks to whom when he’s craving a home cooked meal? ~ ME
• Employees look to whom to help give direction on just about every project? ~ ME
• Teachers look to whom to volunteer in the class and donate treats for 25 kids? ~ ME
• Dogs look to whom to feed them, let them run in the grass while their master goes out of town? ~ ME
• Siblings look to whom to help keep the family drama to a minimum at every social gathering? ~ ME

I could probably come up with at least 20 more ways to prove I have earned the title and deserve to drink from my beautiful wine glass every night. LOL!!! So, if you are reading this and can relate to at least 1 thing, then don’t be shy..purchase your wine glass (or set) today.  Until my next post; keep the madness at bay from Faylene, Chief Mood Strategist @ Dazzling Concepts

What does your Pinterest Board say about you?

My latest fad to help relive my stress and give me a brief escape evolves around the new social media site, Pinterest.  If you haven’t tried it, I say give it a shot. It’s a free online site that helps you organize pictures by what you love and share!  It’s so easy and people actually follow you if they like your images by re-pinning.  Funny because the categories are endless and sure to help you deal with any madness you might be experiencing for the day.  My favorites:

• Humor  
• Food & Drink
• Hair & Beauty

Leave it up to me to find yet another social media site to help me deal with my madness.   I need to de-stress, laugh and simply collect boards that make me smile at the end of the day.  Until my next post; keep the madness at bay from Faylene, Chief Mood Strategist @ Dazzling Concepts

Confessions from a Working Mom

I came across this article online  about the 7 things that highly productive people do and smiled as I read the list (http://www.inc.com/ilya-pozin/7-things-highly-productive-people-do.html).    Yes, productive folks do set aside time in their busy schedule to concentrate on one task at a time and Yes, Be militant about eliminating distractions.  BUT… that’s where I had to laugh. It sounds so easy to eliminate distractions, focus on one task at a time.   However, is that realistic based on today’s technological devices and packed social lives?   Maybe, but I would like to spin my own twist on the list and what I can productivity that’s been tested by millions of busy women out there.

Multi-Tasking Guru.  In the morning, I’m pyscho crazy mommy and make sure the kids brush the teeth like little soldiers.  However, in the evening, after a stressful work day and hours of homework, I skip corners.  I do yell down the hall, brush your teeth but I know darn well that my kids splash some mouth wash in their mouth and dive under the covers.  LOL.

Email Scanner Pro.  Why do kids hate taking baths so much?  It’s the funniest thing and especially at night time, which is when I make my kids take a bath or shower.  Some nights I’m so good and actually supervise the soap suds, but some nights…who knows what happens.  I’m pretty sure they might dip a toe or leg into the water and that’s about it.  One time I caught my daughter standing in the tub and yelling she’s done, can she get out. What she didn’t know was I saw that she didn’t wash up at all and judged it by the dryness of her entire body…not a drop of water seemed to be on her face, arms, etc. LOL.

Mediocre Dinner Selections.  I try to cook foods from all food groups, but admit that sometimes it just doesn’t happen.  It’s so exhausting to prep every morning or on the weekends with my menu and make sure I have the groceries stocked to prepare for everything.  Some nights, microwave frozen veggies get tossed on a plate along with frozen fish or something that takes me less than 10 minutes. I laugh because my husband will often say, really, hon? This is for dinner? And I’m like..Yep!  Bon appetite. LOL

I promise to do better this year..LOL..But at least I’m not trying to come off as this perfect mommy, working woman and superstar wife.  Every now and then, I cut corners and just make do to keep my sanity in check.  LOL.  Until my next post; keep the madness at bay from Faylene, Chief Mood Strategist @ Dazzling Concepts
