Teaching Them To Praise The Lord - At An Early Age
I read a post recently written by Loreena Yeo called If You Teach Them, They Will Learn. She talked about teaching her young son to love the Lord. When I read that post, it made me think of my own children and my goals for them.
We regulate their music so they only listen to songs that are appropriate for their ages. Remember this song?
The other verses are:
This picture is of our youngest when we were on our way home from church one day. They are 17 month old identical twin boys, praising the Lord. We were listening to 95.5 The Fish, a Christian radio station.

My hope and prayer is that we raise all 6 of our children to love the Lord and to be contributing members of their society! I know that teaching them to praise the Lord now will have many benefits later!

Ok, Should I Jump For Joy Or Start Crying? School Is In Session in Garfield Heights, Ohio!
I have a dilema. School is back in session in Garfield Heights, Ohio! We
now have a high school student <gasp!> who started yesterday, a middle school student who started today, and 2 pre-school students who start on Monday. For the most part, all of them are excited about returning to school (good for us!). Our eldest son has no feelings about school one way or another other than that he has "a lot of goals to accomplish this year so I have a lot of stuff to think about" (probably not so good for us).
One thing I noticed while driving my son to and from high school today was the number of drivers who were speeding. I just
wonder sometimes... Do people remember what a school speed limit is? I mean, those slower speeds are set for a reason. Mostly, to ensure that my sons and my daughter - and everyone else's son and daughter - get back home safely. It really isn't set to give you a hard time (I promise).
Anyway, I'm happy about school because my children are in a great school system and they are learning and growing a lot! So I'm looking forward to how they will develop this school year. Also, with all 6 children home, it has been a very long summer. Lots of fights and arguments, aggravated children, and major meltdowns which overflowed to the other children. So the first day of school is usually a day of jumping up and down for joy in my house!
I wonder this year if I should actually start crying though. You see, we have 3 children at 3 different schools (and possibly a 4th who is on a waiting list for pre-school). 3 different schedules. 3 different start and end times. 3 different learning levels (not to mention styles). Projects and studying and homework and bears...oh my!
And thus another year begins, wondering if I should jump for joy or start crying... School is in session.

Real Estate Marketing Series
Welcome to the second installment in my Real Estate Marketing Series, "5 Unique Ways to Market Your Real Estate Business." In the first installment, we discussed 5 Things To Do To Jumpstart Your Real Estate Business. That was basic information, things that all real estate professionals should do on a regular basis but if you're just starting out or need a business boost, that's the post you should start with. This time, we're going to get even more involved with ways to make you stand out from the crowd! So let's discuss 5 Unique Ways to Market Your Real Estate Business!
5. Door knock (and leave something seasonal)
4. Send sweet treats
Choose your top 50 or 100 contacts and send them an envelope filled with Hershey's kisses or Starburst candies. Let them know that they are the sweetest contacts you know and you really appreciate the referrals they send your way. The point? To make them remember you! When is the last time you received an envelope in the mail that contained candy and a hand written note? Probably not since you went off to college and your Mom sent you a care package. So be the first to send sweet treats to someone else. They will likely remember you and think sweetly of you thereafter!
3. Host a coloring contest
up a page on your website to promote the coloring contest. You should also be able to advertise the coloring contest in your local newspaper either free of charge or at a discount if you make the newspaper a sponsor of the contest. Prizes can be secured from companies at no additional cost to you through a mutual agreement with the company. For example, gift cards to Build-A-Bear, a local toy store, and/or a department store (Wal-Mart, Target, etc.). The key here is to also get gifts for the parents of the winning children! Home improvement stores, department stores, grocery stores, etc. will all work! As "sponsors" of the coloring contest, with free advertising on your website, most companies will be happy to donate prizes! Then, host a luncheon or brunch or just an award ceremony program for the entire farm area to announce the winners! (If you don't have many entries, let everyone win, depending upon how many prizes you secure.) The point? To make them remember you!
2. Host a brunch for Working Parents Day (Sept 16)
1. Create a Community Website
