MAKING SOME EXTRA $

I decided to try a few new things for fun and to make a little extra $ while I stay home with Emma.

The 1st thing I've started doing is selling Avon(don't laugh at me)! In the past, I will admit, I've thought that Avon was just a company for old ladies and basically only sold expensive make-up: FALSE! Actually, Avon has a lot of really cool products, can be for all ages, and is pretty affordable. Yes, a majority of their products are cosmetics, but they also have a lot of other things you should check out on my website! They always have a lot of good deals going on, and a couple times a year they do a special where if you buy anything at all that is pink, then they donate ALL of the proceeds to breast cancer awareness!(really awesome)

To visit my personally website, go to: www.youravon.com/aliciaradford

You can order things directly from that website, and they can be shipped right to your door :o)

The 2nd thing I've started doing is selling home-made bows and headband. I absolutely love making them for Emma, so I thought I would try making/selling them for others as well!

You can check out my sweet little bow business at: bubblegumbowshoppe.blogspot.com

FREE to the right home: Mini Schnauzer and Scottish Terrier

Meet Zeke and Miles:

A little info about them.....

Zeke= 3yr old male neutered white Mini Schnauzer
*Very happy/friendly
*loves playing outside and going on walks
*loves to cuddle
*loves eating
*can be vocal when he wants to let you know something
*gets along well with other dogs
*he is a people pleaser...he just wants everyone to be happy





Miles= 2yr old male neutered black Scottish Terrier
*friendly and independent
*LOVES running outside and going on walks
*loves to eat...his favorite treat is cheese
*quiet, does not bark very much (trade-mark of scottish terriers)
*gets along well with other dogs
*very easy going




We have had both of these guys since they were tiny puppies...they have been our babies, but due to a new baby, tight finances, and moving- we feel it would be best to find them a new home where they will be happy!
We would prefer these two to go ito a new home TOGETHER since they are brothers/best friends, but if the circumstances feel right then we will consider separating them. We would like them to go to a home that has some sort of gated yard for them to play in, but also somewhere for them to be inside when it is cold out/other times.

**Both of these guys are up to date on their vaccines. They both also have Avid chips**

If you are interested and/or have any questions please feel free to e-mail us at: radslc@gmail.com

HALLOWEEN FUN AND MORE


This year for Halloween Emma and I went to Price to have fun with my family. Clark had clinicals ALL weekend, so he was stuck in SLC. Luckily his work work had a Halloween party the weekend before and we were able to go together to that.

Emma was so cute dressed up with her cousins Logan and Carson. We had a great time going to a "Trunk or Treat", and also did a wee bit of trick or treating. My Dad, his wife Patty, and my step brother Angelo came to visit from New Mexico and SURPRISED us with Mamaw (mamaw is what we call my grandma, my dad's mom)! It was SO great to see her, and for her to get to see little Emma for the first time. My Moma was so fun/festive and had a big Halloween soup dinner for everyone....it was YuMmY! :o)

*Emma with her cousin Carson...the CUTEST chickens you've ever seen! :o)

5 MONTHS OLD

Emma is now 5 months old...we can't believe how fast the time has flown by!

Emma's latest fav's:
-Seeing Daddy when he comes home from work
-playing with her toy keys
-playing with Moma's cell phone
-eating in her highchair
-having "sips" of Mommy's drinks
-staring at people/people watching...(as soon as she gets their attention she smiles, fakes being shy, and then hides her face)
-kicking her legs and splashing in the bathtub
-shopping with mommy and seeing the brightly colored clothes :o)
-putting her feet in her mouth
-giving huge, slobbery open mouth kisses

YUMMY Emma absolutely LOVED eating in he highchair....well, THIS time at least :o) A couple weeks ago we put her in her highchair for the first time and tried feeding her rice cereal, she hated it! It was probably due to the fact that it was too thick and it wasn't flavored. Poor baby, we had no idea what we were doing- she is our test dummy after all. So, THIS time I mixed some rice cereal, water, and a little bit of vanilla pudding for flavor. She loved it and was so excited about it. I can definitely say this feeding time went better than the first time!
