Memes-#AlohaFriday-Facebook Friend or Foe?



This evening I was unfriended on Facebook. I'm not surprised considering the situation and the source. I knew it was just a matter of time but still it bothered me. I didn't think I did anything wrong but it's one of those mutual friend situations. No one wants to pick a side! Seems like you get pushed into choosing, and this got me to thinking....

Does it bother you to get unfriended on Facebook?

Memes - #AlohaFriday - Pomodora



My latest battle has been with time management! I don't mind multitasking, however my desk can get bogged down and papers get buried. My to do list just gets longer and longer. Last night I had a meeting with my business coach who suggested I download the Pomodora app on my iPhone. You can also find it in the Google App store. It's a timer. You turn it on and give yourself 25 minutes to complete a given task. This got me to thinking...

Have you ever heard of the Pomodora concept? Does it work for you?

#AlohaFriday - Summer Time



Our city community center has a ton of stuff for kids to do during the summer. The parents come out and form long lines just to make sure their kid gets a spot, myself included. It takes a lot of work to juggle the summer schedule. I think it might be worse than the school year. This got me to thinking...

What are you planning for your kids to do this summer?






Last week I asked you about going to a blog conference. Thank you for all the advice. If you would like to read my Rookie Experience please click on the hyperlink.

I have my ticket and I'm ready to go! After being online for the last 5 years I'm finally heading to a blogging conference. It's in Austin so it's pretty easy for me to get to with minimal cost. I can't wait to learn what they have to teach. This got me to thinking....
Austin Texas Blogathon

#Aloha Friday 279 - Spring Break


Spring Break is next week for us. I wanted to plan a grand vacation but due to things out of my control it's not going to happen. I'm not exactly looking forward to next week. I want to spend time with my little people but they don't necessarily want to spend time with each other! lol


What about you? Are you looking forward to Spring Break with your kids?

Aloha Friday #273 - How Do You Hold Your Pencil?


My kids are going back to school soon and one thing that I have noticed is how they hold their pen or pencil. To me, it is the strangest thing and we have tried those little pencil holders to help them position their fingers. I took a snap shot to share with you.

Do your kids have a different way of holding their crayon, pen or pencil or is it just my kids?

Aloha Friday #272 - Back To School?


One more month and the summer is over and school will officially begin again! My kids don't want the summer to end. I'm enjoying the time with my children but I have to admit I'm ready for school to begin. This got me to thinking....

Aloha Friday #271 - One on One


This past week the universe made it so I could have some one on one time with my four year old son. It has been so great just hanging out with him. I told him we are having a "staycation" and we will do whatever he wants. He's the middle child so he has had the opportunity to spend a few days not competing for my attention. This got me to thinking.....
Do you make an effort to spend one on one time with your kids?

Aloha Friday #270 - Good Health!


I never made it to the 5K last weekend because I came down with pneumonia. That sickness right there put a monkey wrench in a LOT of my plans.
This got me to thinking....
