Tamarac, FL

Are you looking to stay connected with other moms from your child's class or even the other moms from the school? If so Cafemom has come up with a great idea. Create groups for the school itself.

I know that there are moms that can not attend PTA meetings, but want to know what is going on. ARe there concerns you want to address? Have an event going on for the school? Is there a change in the schedule? How about the sports meets, or band practices?

This is the perfect place to ask and answer any of these questions. I became the group owner for my daughters school, Tamarac Elementary. So if there are any moms that are looking for something like this, why not go the cafemom.com and look to see if your school is listed, does it have an owner, if not see if you can become the owner of the group.

If you manage to get at least 20 members to your group by September 30, Cafemom will give the school $100 to do with whatever you wish. Its not alot but its something. And at least they are taking an interest to what we desire the most, our childrens education.

Tamarac is now registering for Youth Soccer. Every Saterday till September 27 from 10am to 2pm. Registration for Tamarac residents is $140 and for non- reisdents its $190. This includes both practices and game uniforms.

Registration is being held at the Tamarac community center off of Commerical Blvd.

What you will need to purchace is a soccer ball, the shoes, and the shin guards.

I'm excited this will be the first year my kids will be playing and they are playing on the same team.

Practices starts next month, but we went and got some supplies to get them started now!!

So look forward to some game highlights.

Yesterday was my daughters first day of school. It started 2 days late on account of Tropical Storm Fay. She was all excited and could barely sleep last night. We live very close to the school, walking distance, Tamarac Elementary. So we walked, the police stopped traffic in order for us to cross the school. We are the only family in my community with kids as youngs as mine are, so no other kids were coming out. She thought she was so special that the polic officer stopped it just for her!

So we go and walk the school looking to where we go. We sit in the cafeteria waiting till her teacher comes and walks them to class. She wanted to walk with her, but they don't allow that there. This is when she realizes that things are different then her other school she went to last year. I told her things would be ok. I wanted to cry but held it back, didn't want to make her upset and start to cry.

I wasn't able to pick her up from school since I had a pack day. So when I got home she sat next to me and told me everything about her day. How the teacher doesn't know that she already knows her ABC's. I tried to explain that she will go over stuff that she alreadys knows, you can't learn too much of something, right?

So today is day 2. We will see how things go!

So I am taking a mini vacation for a few days in Marco Island. The kids are loving it here. Having fun on the beach, watching the sun go down. Visited the Naples Zoo, got to watch the tigers fed, alligators up close and more.

Figured now would be the best time, school starts on Monday and won't be able to take another break till Christmas. Here are a few shots from there.

I love this shot, you can see how beautiful the clouds are.

Hope you enjoyed some of these pictures. Will be here for a few more days!

So Mini Lobster season starts tom. There are some rules that you will see below! Happy Hunting. And just to let you know I LOVE to eat lobster so send one to me if you catch any!!!!

The two-day Sport Lobster Season is always the last consecutive Wednesday and Thursday in July, beginning at 12:01 A.M. on Wednesday and ending at 12:00 midnight on Thursday. This year, that will be July 30 and 31, 2008.

State and Federal Waters
Bag Limit: Six (6) per licensed harvester (you must have a saltwater fishing license with a lobster stamp) per day in Monroe County; twelve (12) per licensed harvester per day throughout the rest of Florida where the harvest of lobster is permitted. The two-day total of twelve lobster per licensed harvester in Monroe County can only be possessed when transporting your catch by car on, or after, the second day.

Bag limits are only for properly licensed individuals and those people exempt from license requirements who are actively harvesting, and those people harvesting may not exceed their individual bag limit and take someone else’s bag limit. That is, people (including children) who are not actively harvesting or are not properly licensed (if a license is required) may NOT be counted for purposes of bag limits.

Have Fun, Play Safe, Live Hard!!
