Alfonz has given the best gift! No not diamonds, not a car...an eco wooden rain barrel! He set it up by my new biointensive veggie garden, and I stummbled across it while showing Tracy the garden over the weekend. It catches rain from the gutters off the house roof and down the water pipe, into my rain catching barrel. I then use the untreated water for the organics in my garden. Far more healthy then chlorine treated city water.
The next step in our overall health will be the infra red sauna. Still looking for a great price. Costco has a sale this month.....never know what's coming next...

Suma Designs!! New business idea...
My lovely friend Sue and her mother-in-law Ricky, have gone ahead and created a beautiful clothing line. It's a fusion, East meets West, Indian inspired pieces, that flow as you go, with an elegance rarely felt when dressing up. I look like a different person. Most of you know, I am not a fashion person, but the clothes looks great and is comfy. I get up and through on a kimono over my mother uniform (Lulu lemon pants and a tank) and I look polished and together.
At the adult social I wore an off the shoulder shall top and straight leg tie up dress pants, with a few gold accessories and never felt better. Hubby said or looked better!! Nice compliment at 35! Got to love the guy!!
Anyways,
she also make the Schwartzy Crystal flip flop seen in Spas for over $200, but hers are $65 and look exactly he same.
She also does hair extensions, bringing in a line from South Africa, using virgin hair and attaching using a gentle method, reusing the initial investment over and again.....
So....my life has become about fashion for the first time in my life! It's so funny, being this old and caring about what I look life, even wearing makeup at home!! What?!
My point was I hope to invest in her line. I love it that much, even trying to get government grants.....I will be posting a preview of the new line in the not so distant future, and hope to sell for this new and rising company!!!
Suma designs will be coming soon!!! But only cheap for a few more months. Price list and pictures to follow!!

Sunnyside Elementary, Montessori program!
One thing that's a little different, with Angelina in Preschool 3 days a week, and only working Monday and Fridays or Saturdays, it frees up my time to do some charity work. Volunteering at Daniel's school has been so rewarding, but more specifically fundraising. Although he goes to a specialty school, its publically funded, meaning us moms, and some dads, have to raise all the money.
The Adult Social was a blast, way too much fun, and didn't get home until 3:00am! The PAC commity raised $2500 holding back loads of donations for another fundraiser in September.....
So does anyone have any better ideas for fundraising?? I'd love to hear them, really love it....being that I just joined the Surrey Monessori Society, a non profit organization to help train our teachers, and provide materials to the kids to effectively learn this method. I am becoming a bigger fan of Montessori!! Watching Daniel excel naturally in English, and working with hands on tools for Math!! Our Kindergarden teacher happens to be one of the nicest people I've seen teach, makes learning a whole lot of fun!! Daniel goes into the official Montessori grade 1-3 split class in the fall....can't wait for the adventure to begin.
All kids in every economic back ground, any culture, and walk of life can reach their potential in this learning enviroment! Our school is smack dab in the middle of 2 low income housing projects, but our kids do not reflect this. All the children are getting a good footing for life, a great bace and love for learning, with noone left behind. Other schools with this accomplishment, and community feel, come with a $12,000 a year tution, but here its just a love of school that keeps it going. (And fundraising!!) Passed from one parent to the next, as each child finishes their time in the school, many moms still come out to help. Each class has volunteer moms to help the teacher make the Montessori classroom an intimate one.
I love this school. A true unique treasure. It feels like the pupils own their school and respectivily enter our community after as well rounded individuals....can we ask for more from our school?
