Me on TV

I have been asked to be on an episode of Real Life 101. Oh my gosh...I'm so excited! I will be taping this coming Tuesday 7/1/08. I'm a bit nervous, ok a lot nervous but super excited about the opportunity! I don't have air date yet but it will be some time in the fall. Following is a bit about the show.

Real Life 101 introduces you to real people doing real jobs. From doctors, lawyers and veterinarians to career counselors, drug counselors, Lipizzaner stallion trainers and special effects wizards, Real Life 101 takes you "on the job" so you can see for yourself why these professionals love what they do. Learn about jobs you might not know even existed!

Join hosts Jillian, Carley and Luis every week as they explore new professions in the exciting world of work. It's a half-hour of thought-provoking, eye-opening fun and entertainment.

I'll post the air date as soon as I have it...stay tuned.

We did the Cocoa Village Farmers Market and had a great time. It was slow and HOT! In spite of the heat, I enjoyed meeting the other vendors and spending the day with my family. Everyone did a great job representing Eliza Grason...I was a proud mama. The kids love to participate in these types of events.

Cocoa Village Farmers Market

We'll be at the Cocoa Village Farmers Market this Wednesday 6/25/08 from 8-1. If you're in the area, stop by and say hi.

Benefits of Jojoba Oil:

Reed's Italian Salad Dressing

Another Handcrafted treat!

I agree...It is the best!!

When I am running short on time and need a quick dinner, I marinate my chicken or beef in this dressing and have never been disappointed. I have given this dressing to family and friends over the years. I have always received rave reviews and requests for more.
This small family owned business actually started out as Onions Cafe in Borger, Texas just outside of Amarillo, Texas in 1993. They served onion burgers during the day fried catfish and steaks at night.
In their "spare" time they handcrafted "the best italian dressing you have ever tasted...Delite in every bite".
This Italian dressing was a big hit with all of the customers, and soon it was the talk of the town. Thanks to loyal customers the Italian dressing business began to grow and eventually they had make a decision, the restaurant or the dressing. They deided to sell the restaurant and put their energy into the dressing. What a marvelous decision it was, for all of us!
These days Fred Reed can be found at craft fairs and festivals across the nation selling his famous dressing.

Reed's Dressing can be found in many grocery and specialty stores throughout Texas and Oklahoma and is available online.

Soap






I have wanted to make soap for the longest time and finally am getting around to it. I made this "There's a loofa in my soap" soap yesterday and am loving it. I created a new scent for this soap...Raspberry Lemonade which is very refreshing and quite fitting for summer, I think. I have listed it for sale in my Etsy store. This soap is an Olive Oil base, next week I will be experimenting with goat's milk...stay tuned.

Summer is finally here and the kids are out of school and loving it...I am too.
No homework and no schedule!!!
So, it seems I will finally have some time to spend on my other baby, Eliza Grason. I have added a few new products to the line and have listed them in my Etsy store. I had a few fun custom orders last night and am really enjoying the whole community there.
I'm looking forward to blogging more and sharing this crazy~busy life!
