Moonlight Zany Bandz: Inspired by the Twilight Series

The makers of Zany Bandz have created a new collectible pack of silly bandz called Moonlight. They were inspired by the Twilight movies. How ingenious is this?! Combining two different pop culture sensations in one little pack! You can buy these and all the other rare Silly Bandz on this Squidoo page. No doubt that your pre-teen will be bugging you for them very soon. Just a heads up from mom to mom.

Everything Outside Of This

I wrote a song...here's a little back story...

My hubby and I have this hand signal where we touch our pointer and thumb together and say "I love you everything outside of this". I was inspired by that phrase and wrote a song about it. Anybody know an artist needing a sad country song? Lol! Anyways...here are the lyrics. And just in case I have to say it...These are my lyrics. I wrote them. Do not try to copy and repost them as your own. If you want to show them off (haha) just ask for my permission first. :)

Everything Outside Of This

(Verse 1) He used to watch her at school from afar

Now he holds her hand under the stars

And he wants to let her know

That she has his heart and soul

And he knows there’s only one thing left to do

He pulls out a little box and stumbles through

(Chorus) Everything outside of this,

That’s how much you mean to me

You are my world, my everything

None of this means anything

Without you, to show me the way

You are everything

Everything outside of this


(Verse 2) Ten years later they have built a dream

With three young girls, it’s the perfect family

And she wants him to know,

That she’ll never let him go

And she knows that sometimes

tests aren’t always right

And she pleads with him to not give up the fight

(Repeat Chorus)

(Bridge) And with tears falling down her face

She falls down to her knees

And she just can’t seem to understand

Why he only looks asleep



Everything outside of this

That’s how much he means to me

He was my world, my everything

Now I don’t have anything.

Hold my hand and pull me through

Away from everything

He was my everything

Take me away from everything

Everything outside of this


I hope you guys like it. Keep watch for another completely random post soon.

There Are Rare Silly Bandz?

So last week my daughter came home with Silly Bandz going up her wrist. I didn't even know they existed until then. (I'm assuming that they were given to her because she didn't have any when I dropped her off that day.) We started talking about them and apparently there are 'rare' Silly Bandz. I was intrigued that they could be rare when as far as I knew, they had just been invented...I was wrong. According to my nine year old, the dragon, the cross, and the 'rock' symbol ones are rare. The dragon come in the Fantasy Pack but I have not seen the others yet. It is amazing to me that as many times as I have had rubber bands on my wrists in the past, I never had the idea to make them into shapes and sell them to children. Another million dollar idea gone with the wind. Off to find these 'rare' Silly Bandz and make my child happy.

"Oh Mother"

I had to post about the most recent matter in my life as of the moment...my new name. The past few weeks, my 5 year old has been calling me 'mother'..."Oh mother...", "Can I have ice cream, mother...". What is that about? I'm not really sure how to take it. Most of the time I dread hearing 'mommy' because it's usually followed by screaming. This whole 'mother' debacle has got me missing it. Even though I want to think of myself as something other than a mommy all the time, there is something reassuring about my little girl saying "I love you, mommy".
