Me -
When I was little my Mom was always tearing up
the newspaper ads when she was done with them. I wanted to do it too,
but I was always putting them in my mouth. I was only allowed to help
tear up the ads, if I had a pacifier in my mouth. So one day, I had a
pacifier in my mouth and we were tearing up the newspaper ads so I spit
out the pacifier and put the ads in my mouth.
Mom-
I told Aurella she could only have a pacifier if she was in the car or going to sleep so she said "Aurella sleep!"
"Is Aurella really going to sleep?" I asked.
Aurella nodded.
"No, you're not." I said. "Do you think Mommy is stupid?"
"Stupid, mommy." said Aurella.

Cats vs. Kittens
Me - Cats vs. Kittens, wow! I know you're thinking that a cat is the same thing as a kitten, and it is. Even though they get bigger they have the same face and features. A cat is just grow-up kitten. Even though that is the case, they definitely think differently. For most of my life, I had my cat, Gigi. By the time, I was born she was already a grown cat. Last spring, we got baby kittens that were less than a year old. They have just recently turned 1. Gigi was calm. She was always settled down, sitting next to us and wanting us to pet her. She had already figured out who she did and didn't like. She didn't get into everything except the garbage bag on garbage day. Also, once she got out onto the porch. However, the kittens were the complete opposite. Even now that they are 1, they are always getting into stuff. We have to keep our eye on them every minute. We have to keep doors shut so they can't get into the basement or the garage or out of the house. The always want to play. They never settle down except when they are completely exhausted. However, I loved our kittens, and I still love them now that they are 1, and I loved Gigi too.
Mom - When our beloved cat, Gigi died, she was 17 years old. After Gigi died, the house seemed so empty so we adopted two kittens. Some things about the kittens helped me to deal with the lose of Gigi. The kittens were so cute and tiny. They also were and still are really playful even now they have turned 1. Some things about our kittens made me miss Gigi more. Sometimes, it seemed like the kittens never wanted to settle down. Gigi was more relaxed since she was older. She would sit or lay down with us for longer periods of time and not mostly when she was tired. Sometimes, it feels like the kittens favorite time to be with us was when they were exhausted and wanted to lie down. Now, that our cats are 1, their behavior hasn't changed all that much, but they haven't been cats for very long their birthday was just the other day on February 25. I love having kittens in the house, but kittens are so much trouble. They get into everything. Older cats can be trouble too. There were some things that Gigi did almost her whole life like trying to eat rubber bands and then getting sick and throw them up. However, older cats get into a lot less trouble than younger cats. Gigi had long since stopped chewing on every little thing she saw and unraveling the toilet paper. Older cats also can not hide as many places as kittens since they cannot fit as many places. However, cats and kittens are alike in the most important way, they may not always be as overtly friendly as most dogs, but in their way they can give you a lot of love.
Do you prefer baby animals or older animals?
And that's our view. Tune in tomorrow for Tips for Tuesday.

Where-To-Go Wednesday - Kidzsignments Children's Consignment Sale
What: Kidzsignments Children's Consignment Sale
Where: New Jersey Expo Center
97 Sunfield Avenue
Edison, NJ
When: March 6-8
Our view: A good place to get a good price on gently used clothing, toys etc. for your children is a kids consignment sale. One of the biggest in the tri-state area is happening this weekend. Kidzsignments was started by Laurie Owens, a stay-at-home Mom of three young children in 2005. Kidzsignments holds consignment sales four times a year, two each in Flemington, NJ and two each in Edison, NJ. They currently have well over 300 consignors. At one of their sales you can find everything kid related toys, clothes, books, CDs, DVDs, bedding, and just about anything else you can think of. If you are interested in selling your own children's gently used clothing, toys, etc. and you live in the tri-state area, sign-up at Kidzsignments web-site to become a consignor yourself at one of Kidzsignment's sales. Once you become a consignor, you price and tag your items and transport them to the sale yourself and that's it. You do not even have to do that if you don't want to there are companies like Tags 4 U that will price, tag and transport your items for you but they do charge a per item price for their services and you still have to wash and fold the clothing you are donating yourself and put the shoes and toys in bins. However, either way whether you do the pricing, tagging and transportation yourself or not, you do not have to do any selling yourself. You do not even have to show up to get paid, they will send your check within 15 days of the close of the sale. You do have to show up to pick up your unsold items but only if you want them back. Otherwise, they will be donated to charity. So basically it is a win-win-win all around. You get rid of stuff you no longer want or need, you make money, and you do a good deed all at once. The current sale runs from this Wednesday March 6 through Saturday March 8 at New Jersey Expo Center in Edison, NJ. The next sale will be March 20- 22 in Flemington, NJ. For further information about either of these sales or Kidzsignments in general go to http://www.kidzsignments.com/index.html. For further information about Tags 4 U go to http://www.tags4u.net/.

Tips for Tuesday - Books
Me - Today I am recommending Confessions of an Almost Movie Star by Mary Kennedy. It is a book about a girl named Jessie who goes along with her friend who is auditioning for a movie that is being shot in their hometown. She ends up getting the lead role. Through her experience working on the movie, she learns who and what is really important and who and what is not. You should read this book.
Mom - Today I am recommending Live to Tell by Lisa Gardner. Live to Tell is the story of two women just struggling to survive. Danielle is the sole survivor of a family tragedy. Victoria is a mother forced to raise her troubled son on her own. When incidents occur that echo the murder of Danielle's family each woman as well as Victoria's son will all be in the path of danger. If you enjoy a real page turner of a mystery, this is a good book for you.

Winter Olympics 2014
Me -Winter Olympics 2014, wow! I didn't watch that much of the Olympics this year. I only watched Figure Skating. I watched ice dancing, and ladies and the skating gala. I liked the ice dancing. I liked American's Meryl Davis and Charlie White. I think they deserved to win. I am glad they won. I like ice dancing because it is graceful and pretty. I like ladies skater, Gracie Gold. I also like Ashley Wagner. Gracie Gold is my favorite though. My favorite part of all of the Olympics that I saw was watching Gracie Gold skating. I wish I had seen the rest of the skating too - the pairs and the men. I don't have favorites in the pairs and mens because I don't know any of the skaters. I wouldn't have watched any of the rest of the other sports anyway. I don't really like any of the other sports. I do like hockey though but only when we go to a hockey game. Over all, I prefer the summer Olympics.
Me - I didn't watch that much of the winter Olympics this year. I had it on a lot but I wasn't paying that much attention to it. I watched all of the figure skating. That is always my favorite part of the winter Olympics. My favorite part of the skating was when Meryl Davis and Charlie White won the first ever US gold medal in ice dancing. I was kind of disappointed, however, that in general the US did not seem to have as strong a figure skating team as we usually do. I usually like to watch speed skating in the winter Olympics too. This year, I didn't. I don't think I missed anything. The US speed skating team was even worse than the figure skating team. My favorite thing besides the figure skating was when Noelle Pikus Pace won a silver medal in the luge. Luge is not a sport I normally watch. I also watched some of the skiing. I don't think I really watched anything else or at least I didn't really pay attention to anything else. I normally like hockey, but I don't like to watch it in the Olympics and have to root against people who might normally play for my favorite team, but who are playing for their home countries. There just aren't that many sports in the winter Olympics that I feel like I have to watch. Actually, figure skating is the only one. The rest of it, I can pretty much take or leave and some of it, I just don't like at all.
And that's our view. What is your favorite winter Olympic sport?
