As some of you may have seen on my facebook status yesterday I tried to bribe my eight year-old son, with $5 bucks, to watch his younger sister so I could finish the edits on my book. He negotiated me up to $15 and then offered his dad $5 of that later in the day to watch her so he could go to his friends’s house. I have to admit I was proud of his business chops.
Today when he tried to collect I told him I wasn’t able to finish so I didn’t feel I owed him the full amount (I just wanted to see what he would do). He basically told me that was my problem and I was more than welcome to pay him to watch her again. That’s my boy!
He offered to go door-to-door in our neighborhood to sell my upcoming book. His plan was to tell the customer if they bought from him they would be in my top list of fans. He seemed to think that was a compelling enough reason to get someone to buy. He has no fear. I could learn a lot from him.
Have a great Monday!

Skip Hop Studio Diaper Tote Tote is awesome.So many pockets – and not really these small, useless pockets, either. All of the storage compartments are a great dimension and truly help keep everything organized. The handles are a wonderful length and fit nicely over the shoulder; the handle shoulder straps additionally stay put on my arm, which is actually vital as soon as you are having a child. The handbag seems excellent, too. Not too fancy, but not as well casual. (I’ve it in black) The material is soft (can’t consider of a greater word) so it’s easy to squeeze in to tight spaces – but yet it is sturdy. I have a Fleurville Lexi tote and I really like it, as well, but that bag is actually kind of rigid. I consider that Skip*Hop can grow to be my everyday tote. It’s a bit large – so if you are not really in to significant totes this may be greater as an over-night diaper bag.
