Guess What?

So I guess the secret's out!
I'm jumping on the bandwagon of the other million bloggers that are pregnant.
I am currently 13 weeks along and due on September 6th, the day before my 29th birthday.

This is my excuse for being a less than impressive blogger for the past couple of months.
I have been dealing with extreme tiredness and nausea.
It has been better for the last week or so but I have still been getting heartburn on the regular.

Wow, it feels good to get that out.
I have known since December 30th
I just wanted to wait until I passed the 12 week mark to let you all in on it.

Dear 16 Year Old Mal:

Every week Lena from Mom 2 Memphis and Ruby does a Tuesday 10 link up. This week it is a list of 10 things you would say to your 16 year old self. I thought this would be pretty fun since I was kind of an idiot at 16. I'm hoping I don't pass it on to Aubs but I think the odds are against me.

This is me at 16. Do you like my red eye and Old Navy performance fleece?

10 Things I Would Say My 16 Year Old Self:

1. Break up with your boyfriend, he is a jackass and will cheat on you with your cousin in a few months.

2. Save some of your money! You have a great job for a 16 year old and you will appreciate that extra cash when you get to college.

3. Spend more time on your school work. You might as well start this wonderful habit now because it will pay off in the future.

4. Don't take life so seriously- you're only 16. You'll have your whole adulthood to do that.

5. Your brown eyes are beautiful- stop putting those stupid colored contacts in.

6. Get your driver's license. You will regret it when a student driver car is picking you up at your dorm room(true story).

7. Spend more time with your girlfriends instead of your boyfriend.

8. Be nicer to your peers.

9. Eat healthier. Diet coke for breakfast and nachos and Snapple for lunch isn't a balanced diet.

10. Life isn't always easy but as you get older you learn to deal with it better.

Head on over to Mom 2 Memphis and Ruby and check out everyone else's list or better yet, make your own and link up.

*Don't forget to stop back by tomorrow- I have a pretty amazing post planned.

Mondays are for Music V.12

Did you know that I'm kind of a geek in the way I adore Tori Amos?
Her and I go back to about my freshman year of high school.
She is one artist who I never fell out of love with.
I still listen to her music at least weekly and sometimes I go on Tori sprees and won't take the cd out of my player for a month at a time.
I know- lame... but I love it.

It's hard for me to pick a favorite song but this is definitely one of them.

Make this easy, it's not as heavy as it seems.

I Heart Publix (and you should too)

Attention Publix Shoppers! From February 23–29 you can participate in P&G’s “One List Life” promotion, available exclusively at Publix: simply select any four fabulous participating P&G items and pick up a FREE Rotisserie Chicken while you’re at it! Learn more at www.savingspg.com.

I absolutely love Pubix Supermarkets, if you don’t have one by you then you are missing out. I am at Publix at least once a week but usually more. When Aubs was a newborn I was there pretty much there every other day. Her car seat didn’t fit nicely in the top basket so I always put her in the main part which left little room for groceries. During that time, I got to know a lot of the staff at my neighborhood Publix and many of them are still there two years later. It is always great to go food shopping and see happy familiar faces. When The Clever Girls Collective contacted me and informed me that I was chosen to take part in P & G’s “One List Life” promotion at Publix, I was super excited.

Right now and through the 29th of February Publix and P&G are teaming up to give their customer’s a great offer. When you buy 4 or more participating P&G products (which you can find here) you get a free Publix rotisserie chicken. Have you ever had a rotisserie chicken from Publix? They are amazing. You can eat them straight or incorporate them into so many different dishes.

The really great thing about the “One List Life” promotion is that it gives you the chance to see how affordable and easy it is to get everything on your shopping list at one store. Often products other than food at supermarkets can be pricier than they would be from other retailers. That is not the case with Publix. They give you great deals on all products, especially those from P & G. I was shocked to see how cheap the Tide and the Pantene were. This deal can even be better if you are an avid coupon clipper. P&G’s brandSAVER from January 29th can be used in addition to this promotion and save you even more.

So what are you waiting for? Head over to Publix now and get shopping.

Thank you to P&G for sponsoring my participation in this “One List Life” promotion. I was selected for this sponsorship by the Clever Girls Collective. All opinions expressed here are my own.

Bumps and Bruises

I'm not one of those mom's who cried at my daughter's first shots. I always hear mom's saying that it was hard for them to be in the room during their babies shots because they would burst into tears too. That just wasn't me. I mean she was just squeezed out of my birth canal, how bad could a couple of needle pricks be compared to that? It sucks seeing her cry because something hurts but it's usually pain that I know will go away quickly and will soon be forgotten.

Today was a little bit different. We were at Gymboree this morning and Aubrey started crying out of nowhere. She never cries at Gymboree so I found this to be a little bit strange. Then I noticed she was grabbing her arm. I picked her up and tried to console her because I thought maybe she had just bumped it. There was no consoling her. She wasn't scream crying but crying enough that I knew something was up. I took her out into the lobby and looked at her arm. When I lifted it up or bent it upwards she would cry more but she didn't mind when I squeezed it or bent it inward. I knew it wasn't crazy serious because the caliber of her crying wasn't enough for it to be. I called my husband and told him I was coming down to his office so he could look at it. On the way there it hit me, the mommy tears. I guess I am one of those mom's too sometimes it just take more than shots or a skinned knee to make me crack. I hated seeing her in pain that doesn't go away with a song and some extra kisses.

My husband came to the same conclusion as me. She must of twisted it or hyper extended it. How did she do it? I have no idea. She falls and bumps into kids all the time and just shakes it off. I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary this morning but it must have been something. The rest of the day has been pretty miserable because of it. Aubrey won't use her left arm and has been vegging on the couch all day whining. This is pretty unusual for her because even when she is sick I can't manage to get her to sit still. I guess it is just a waiting game to see if it gets better or worse. At this point I think that taking her to the hospital would be just a waste of time. Like I said before I think that if it were a serious injury she would have been screaming her head off. I also think that I would have noticed what caused it. So here I sit on the couch with my little trouper for the rest of the day rotating between Mickey Mouse, Olivia and Peppa Pig.

A vote might make Aubs feel a bit better

Wordless Wednesday: Blue's Fest

Last weekend we went to a blues festival on the water
Joe's dad is a huge blues fan and goes every year
We met Joe's parents, my parents, Joe's brother and our niece and nephew there.
The weather was gorgeous and we had a great time.
My mom even went on one of those bungee trampoline things which she says she has always want to do but was too chicken.

Here's some photos from our day

Do you see my husband showing off doing flips?

I was a bit of a bookworm in the beginning of the year. In the first five weeks of 2012 I read five books and that doesn't include me re-reading the entire Hunger Games trilogy again so technically I read eight books. I tend to have a cycle with reading. I go insane and read every spare minute that I have for weeks and then I will not read a single book for a couple of months in between. In fact I have had The Maze Runner downloaded for over a week now and I haven't even read the first page. I also haven't been to the gym in about two weeks which accounts for some of my non-reading. Aubs has had a runny nose and they will kick you out of the kids club faster than you can spit out, "I swear it wasn't green this morning" if they so much as see a tint of color in your kid's snot.

So anyway I thought I would share the books I have read with you in case you are looking for a good read or looking to avoid a bad one. I'm not going to go over The Hunger Games because everyone and their mother(including mine- I made her read them) knows that they are incredibly addicting and entertaining. The books that I am sharing with you are in the order I read them, not how much I liked them because the first two book kinda really sucked.

Alice in Deadland by Mainak Dhar

This book is based in India 16 years after "The Rising". The rising happened when a chemical warfare project got out of hand and turned the majority of the population into flesh eating zombies. The story follow a 16 year old girl named Alice who was born just 3 months before the rising and survived with her family in a compound that protects it's self from zombies. Her father was employed at the United States embassy and that's how they got the in.
Alice's whole life has basically been in survival mode and she is highly skilled on how to fight and kill zombies. One day when she was out hunting zombies, she saw one with costume rabbit ears on and followed it down a hole. Hence the name Alice in Deadland. Surprisingly the zombies don't kill her because they believe that she will fulfill some sort of prophecy that they believe will end the war between humans and zombies. They believe this because their queen has a Alice in Wonderland book that she shows them. The whole book is basically Alice attempting to help the zombies defeat a Chinese army of soldiers.

My Take on the Book:
I didn't like it. I have to admit that I'm not usually one for zombies. I can take them or leave them and I have never read a book that had zombies in it. I downloaded the book because it was recommended if your like The Hunger Games and I read a few good reviews on the book. I thought the beginning started out pretty interesting when the author describes the rising and how certain groups of people survived. This is why I kept on reading it, I thought if the beginning was good then maybe the rest of the book would be too. I was wrong. I thought the plot was long and dragged out and that the ending was anti-climatic. I also thought that the whole Alice in Wonderland theme wasn't well played. Long story short- the book wasn't for me but if you like zombies and lots of fighting scenes then you might want to check this one out.

Chasing Amanda by Melissa Foster

Molly's world is turned upside down after she witnesses a kidnapping that she didn't realize was a kidnapping at the time. The little girl who was kidnapped ended up being murdered and Molly had a hard time forgiving herself for not doing anything. In an attempt to banish the bad memory Molly moves her family from the city to a small town. There she regains some sort of normalcy until years later when a little girl about the same age as the one before is kidnapped from her new town. On top of seeing the kidnapping from years before, Molly also has visions that she thinks will help find the girl. Molly also finds out that another girl from that town was also kidnapped 20 years prior in almost the same manner as the current girl and she was never found.

My Take on the Book:
Orginally I liked this book. I am always enjoy a good mystery. The part about the visions didn't come off as cheesy as you might think. Basically I didn't end up liking the book because the author spent way too much time trying to lead you in the wrong direction. *spoiler alert* When you finally did find out the big mystery it had pretty much nothing to do with what the rest of the book and by pretty much I mean almost nothing at all. It was incredibly disappointing. I think the author was trying to be Jodi Picoult and failed miserably.

Rockabye by Rebecca Woolf

A Los Angeles based writer in her early 20s unexpectedly finds out that she is pregnant. She quickly must change her wild ways and focus on her new life as a mother. The writer comically accounts her challenges and triumphs of being pregnant, getting married and being a new mom while trying to remain true to herself.

My Take on the Book:
First off I must admit that I might be a little bit biased. I have been reading Rebecca's blog for over three years and already loved her before I read her book. With that said, I had kind of high expectations. Those expectations were definitely met. I love her honesty and could totally relate to a lot of her experiences. The one I could most relate to was trying to make other mom friends as a new mom. It is way harder than it sounds and I can relate to Rebecca on all levels of this. If you have ever joined a "moms's group" I'm sure you know what I am talking about. I highly recommend this to all moms that are trying to find a balance between the old you and the new you.

Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor

This one is a tough one to summarize because the book opens up it's details slowly but cleverly and I don't want to spoil any surprises. The story follows an art student in Prague who lives a very unusual personal life. In the first quarter of the book the main character, Karou, life is turned upside down and she must now try to discover who she is to try to save the unusual "family" that she loves.

My Take on the Book:
I really liked it. It is completely different from anything I have read of usually read. There are mythical crearures in the book which I usually find silly but I thought this book was really well written. The beginning starts out slow and a little bit confusing but as the story unravels, it becomes more and more engaging. It is also the first in a series of books and I am highly anticipating the release of the next one. It is called Days of Blood and Starlight and will be released September 18th 2012.

Divergent by Veronica Roth

This book is based in the future city of Chicago. It is completely fenced off and guarded. The city is separated into five sectors. The sectors are Erudite- the intelligent, Abnegation- the selfless, Candor- the honest, Amity- the peaceful, and Dauntless- the brave. At the age of 16 the residences of the city are given an aptitude test to best determine which sector they belong in. It is then their choice to choose and go through an initiation process in order to be accepted into the sector of their choice. The book follows the story of a 16 year old girl named Beatrice who now must make the decision for herself.

My Take on the Book:
This was my favorite out of all of them. I read it in a day and a half. I definitely recommend it if you read The Hunger Games and liked them because this book has a very similar feel. I have nothing bad to say about it except that I'm sad that the next book hasn't come out yet but it is expected sometime this year.

There you go five of my latest reads.
This took me a long time to write.
Maybe I should stick to reviewing 3 books at a time instead of 5.
If you have any book suggestions for me let me know, as you can see I love to read.
You can also find me over at Goodreads.

Basically from the day I started my blog, I was counting the days until I could put it on Top Baby Blogs.
This is because before I became a blogger myself, I found many of my favorite blogs on there.
As soon as I hit my 3 month mark I signed up.
The site and the system seemed to be a little different but I didn't really think that much in to it.
Then I started to notice that some of my daily reads were also members according to their blog but I never saw them on the actual directory of blogs which I found odd.
So about a week ago I relized that I was actually a member of Top Mommy Blogs, not Top Baby Blogs.

I feel pretty stupid that it took me so long to realize it.
Anyway I signed up for Top Baby Blogs and got approved so now I will be sporting their badge on my site.
I would love if you guys would give me a click.
You need 3 unique to show up in the directory.
I even included a few cute pics of my top baby to sway you.

I'm kind of a big deal....

...in the world of educational birth videos, that is.

When I was in the hospital after Aubs was born I was in a blissful state. I had just delivered a beautiful healthy baby girl who nursed like a champion (one of my biggest fears was that I would have trouble nursing). I was able to eat carbs again which I wasn’t able to do while pregnant because I had GD. Everything was just perfect. The stars were aligned and I was happy- maybe a little too openly blissful and cheery. My sunny demeanor is probably what made the nurses decide that I was the best candidate to send the director to. Yes you read that right, director, as in film director.

Little did I know in my baby fog that there was a film crew on the maternity ward of my hospital filming an educational birth video to be distributed to doctors and midwives offices throughout Florida and God only knows where else. Of course they hadn’t filmed us (yet) because you have to fill out all sorts of consent forms and what not. I became aware of the situation when my nurse came in and asked me if it would be alright if the director came in to talk to me.

In walked a very pleasant middle aged woman with clipboard. My husband was actually not there at the time because he had gone home to shower and get some things that I had needed. I believe that I was nursing when she came in and she sat down right next to my bed. She commented that I seemed like such a natural and so content. I took this as a huge compliment. I thought, “I’m awesome and this woman can clearly see that too.”

Then she broke it down for me. She was with a production crew who was filming an educational video for doctors’ offices to show to expecting mothers. She also told me that I was one of the only new mothers who were breastfeeding on the floor. In retrospect I’m pretty sure she was lying about that one but then again my husband said that there were always a lot of babies in the nursery and it’s hard to have a baby in the nursery when you’re breastfeeding. Who cares anyway, that’s not the point of this story. Basically all the flattery had me saying yes even before my husband got back and I was able to run it by him.

Within an hour or so Joe got back to the hospital and I let him in on what I had just agreed to. He didn’t seem to mind. We were stuck in the hospital anyway and this would at least entertain us for a little while. Pretty soon we were met by a team of three people- the woman from before, a camera guy and the producer. We were given a bunch of paperwork and waivers to fill out and then briefed by the director on what we would be doing. I had no lines but my husband and the nurse that was helping out did. My role was basically to look adoringly at my baby (easy) and breastfeed (only top boob, no nipples exposed. I made sure of that).

The whole ordeal probably lasted about an hour. It was a little strange having a camera crew and studio lighting in our hospital room the day after I gave birth but the whole experience of giving birth for the first time is a little strange all on its own. The actual scene we shot was a little more difficult than we assumed too. It’s hard to act natural and not look at the camera in such an unnatural situation. We would totally suck at being reality t.v. stars. With all that said and done, it actually only seemed like a small event within the huge event of having out first child.

We didn’t really think of it much after it had happened and had basically forgotten about it. The producer was supposed to contact us once the film was complete so we could get a copy. This was one of the reasons why we did it in the first place. We thought it would be cool to have a professional video of Aubs first day on earth. They never ended up contacting us so we just figured that our scene had been cut out, no harm no foul. I was actually pretty relieved. I mean what I was thinking doing something like that. I was bloated from Pitocin and looked like complete crap. I also was a little embarrassed about breastfeeding on camera although it was very discreet. I am extremely pro-breastfeeding but the thought of a million doctors’ offices having a video of me doing it gave me the creeps. Whatever, I wouldn’t have to worry about all that now because obviously it never got put into the movie.

Then about a month ago my husband got a phone call from his brother, Craig. Craig was out to lunch and he had gotten a phone call from one of his and my husband’s investors. The investor asked Craig if by any chance Joe and his wife had been filmed for a birthing video. He and his wife were expecting their second child and had just watch an educational birth video and thought they recognized Joe. Craig said he wasn’t sure but he called Joe to confirm. That’s when it hit us. They did use our scene and now it was available for the whole world to see. Worst of all a man who invests in my husband’s business saw it, me at my absolute worst and he isn’t the only one, just the only one that we know about. Awesome... just awesome.

Basically the moral of this story is, never agree to anything right after you have a baby. You are sappy and take compliments way too seriously and if you’re as unlucky as me you will end up forever on film to educate couples on their impending birth experience. I find is kind of comical now that the sting has worn off, that is if I try not to think of it at all- or ever.

Wordless Wednesday: Blue Dress

As I have mentioned before, my daughter is a walker/runner
Take her to the beach, the park, the sidewalk and she will go for miles
We keep this in mind when dining out
We try to go to restaurants that have sidewalks around them so Aubs can burn some energy after dinner

These pictures are from about a week ago after a dinner out with my parents
Aubs had run up and down the sidewalk about a million times and found a chair to rest on
She's too much some times and I mean that in the best way possible

"Geez Ma, easy on the flash"

Mondays are for Dancing?

Instead of my usual music video post today,
I am posting this adorable video of Aubs dancing to Ted Nugent's "Stranglehold"

We went to the Florida State Fair yesterday and it was packed so Aubs was confined to her stroller most of the time.
We stopped where a live band was playing to eat something and let he out because it wasn't too busy in that area.
As soon as we let her loose she started dancing-
I guess she really enjoys 70's rock

Wordless Wednesday: Our Weekend

This Wednesday I thought I'd share some snaps from our weekend.
It was pretty low key
On Saturday we had breakfast at Joe's Mom's house with the whole family and then went up to my parents house for dinner.
The boys went out on the boat but I stayed back with my Mom and Aubs because I haven't been feeling well.
On Sunday we went to the beach in the morning and at night Joe went to his brother's to watch the Super Bowl

Forty Eight

I've been nursing a pretty nasty cold since Friday night. I think Aubs got it at the gym daycare and passed it to me. Anyway I've been napping while she naps lately and going to bed early so I haven't had a lot of spare time to blog. I saw this little Q & A on Sunny with a Chance of Sprinkles last week and I thought I'd give it a whirl.

5. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? Australia. Preferably Melbourne or Sydney

15. Where would you want to retire? If I still live in Florida by then I’ll probably just stay here.
16. Favorite time of day? Early evening when my husband gets home and we can spend time as a family. Naptime is nice too though.
17. Where were you born? Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania

24. Do you have any pets? Yes, a Boston Terrier named Ruby
25. Any new/exciting news to share? Not at the moment but maybe soon

Mondays are for Music V.10

I heard this She & Him cover of "You've Really Got a Hold on Me" at the gym the other day and I really like it.
I am also a fan of their cover of The Smiths "Please Please Please" but that's probably because I also love the original.

I hope you all had a lovely weekend.

“Bad 401(k)!”

I am the unfortunate recipient of a not-so-good 403(b) plan. As we all know stocks have been doing horrible this year. I made 13% last year (yeah) and am down 10% this year (boo). But one thing that stands out… I have never liked my retirement company's 403(b) plan (will not name names but – charades, anyone? – first word starts with an A and second compounded word starts with a V – AxxVxxxx). What they offer is 'decent' but not great. And to prove it… my employee contribution fund with the other available retirement company – Txxx-Cxxx – is doing fantastic in the face of trouble: returns are at 9% this year. Each company has the same contribution margins, but the funds available differ. So, why is fantastic company beating 'decent' company? Cuz they're fantastic that is why!
What did I do? Finally? Stopped the 'decent' company and opened a 403(b) with the fantastic company. Have yet to roll over due to mass paperwork. That is my next conquering regarding my retirement plan.
Question: What is the difference between a 401(k) and a 403(b)?
Answer: 403(b) is for nonprofit companies – like City of Hope.
So, do you have a 'decent' 401(k) or 403(b) and don't know how to deal with it to make your money work fantastically? Found a great article on CNN's personal finance page. Enjoy! And good luck with your funds!

    Bummer! My 401k plan doesn’t have many choices but they offer a few low-expense index funds, which is enough for me 😀

    We can also pay a fee to have more choices and invest in the stock market but I’m an index-fund-fan. Mine’s down 12% this year but I look forward to a fantastic turn around in the future.

  2. Money Funk

    GreenTreeWeb: I am crossing my fingers for a great turn around! 🙂

    Scratch this:Index funds, I've thought about those myself. Hmmm…

    Update: I am such a dork sometimes. I have 30% of my contributions in S&P500;.

Arsenal now looking to Alex and Malouda

It had been thought that Alex would complete his move to Juventus ahead of the transfer deadline tomorrow evening. The centre-back is desperate to leave west London as he is no longer in Andre Villas-Boas' long-term plans and sees a move to Italy as a surefire way to restart his international career. However he might not have to travel so far, as north London rivals Arsenal have emerged as contenders to sign the Brazilian. Arsene Wenger has lined up a £7m move for Alex with an additional £8m swoop for French midfielder Florent Malouda. Wenger is desperate to strengthen his squad after Sunday's humiliating 8-2 defeat at Manchester United. He is also keen on his midfield team-mate Yossi Benayoun. Malouda, 31, also has years of experience in the top flight. Chelsea want £10m for Alex, 29, but the Arsenal board believe they can land their man for less. Alex has played 111 games for the Blues following his signing in 2007 after a loan spell in Holland with PSV.

Quebec to receive over $260 million from Government of Canada for energy efficiency and climate action

Clean energy startups take note, Quebec is about to have significantly more funding to put towards clean tech innovation.

Last Friday, the Honourable Marc Garneau, Minister of Transport, and Isabelle Melançon, the Minister of Sustainable Development, the Environment, and the Fight Against Climate Change from the Government of Quebec, announced that Quebec will receive over $260 million through the Low Carbon Economy Leadership fund.

The money will go to programs that help Quebecers save money and energy, while supporting the province’s climate objectives. The funding is a component of the Low Carbon Economy Fund, designed to spur clean growth and cut carbon pollution while promoting innovative climate solutions.

The Low Carbon Economy Fund will help Canada achieve our 2030 national climate target commitment under the Paris Agreement. It will also create jobs, support healthier communities, and save Canadians money.

“Investing in climate solutions and clean growth is a critical part of our made-in-Canada climate plan. The projects we are supporting through this funding will build on Quebec’s climate leadership to make a real difference in the lives of Quebecers. This funding will create good jobs, spark clean economic development and help Quebecers save money on energy and fight climate change in their own communities,” said Catherine McKenna, Minister of Environment and Climate Change.

The Fund will benefit Quebecers by improving pre-existing programs for the construction, industry, forestry and agriculture sectors, as well as making tangible reductions to greenhouse gas emissions. It will also create a new program for the manufacture, deployment and implementation of clean technologies that are currently being developed.

READ ALSO: Inocucor approved for up to $7.7 million in funding from the SDTC

Quebec is a leader in the fight against climate change: ambitious targets to reduce its GHG emissions and adapt to the impacts of climate change, a carbon market linked to those of California and Ontario and a major action plan, the 2013-2020 Action Plan on Climate Change, guide its actions. The Quebec government is pleased that the programs supported by the Leadership Fund, including ÉcoPerformance and Biomasse forestière résiduelle, are making a significant additional contribution to the achievement of Quebec and Canada’s GHG emission reduction targets for 2020 and 2030, while supporting the development of a low carbon economy,” said Isabelle Melançon.

The Canadian government will work with Quebec to support reforestation efforts, put clean technologies to work across communities, businesses and in homes, and the installation of energy efficient products to help save money. Part of Quebec’s Leadership Fund will also be allocated to investment in agricultural practices that reduce emissions.

The Canadian government also made announcements regarding the Leadership Fund with the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, with additional announcements expected as other provinces finalize project proposals.

Article Summary: This article will help anyone looking for information pertaining to a real estate license in the state of Arizona or anyone looking to become a real estate agent or realtor in Arizona. Contents of this article may include information on real estate education, schools, training courses, continuing education, tests and exams, laws, license requirements, renewal information, forms and more..

The State of Arizona Department of Real Estate, with offices in Phoenix, Arizona, oversees all aspects of the Arizona Real Estate Law.

The requirements to become a real estate salesperson in Arizona are satisfactory evidence of the honesty, truthfulness, character and competency of the applicant. The applicant for a real estate agent license must not have had a real estate license denied within one year, or revoked within two years immediately preceding applying. The applicant must be at least 18 years of age and have completed at least 90 classroom hours of Arizona real estate courses, plus have passed both a school and state examination on the course. They must have taken contract writing education.

Applicants for the real estate broker license in Arizona must prove at least three years of actual experience while having a real estate broker license, or having a real estate salesperson license in Arizona during the five-year period immediately preceding the application.If this experience was in another state, the applicant needs to obtain a certified license history from the other state(s).

Those applicants who previously held an agent's license that has expired and that wasn't renewed within one year may request certification of prior Arizona licensure and education. Various educational and other requirements might apply.

90 hours of classroom education are required, including a broker management clinic.

The exam and application fees for the salesperson are combined, and are $125. The original license fee is $125, fingerprint processing is $24 and the Recovery Fund Fee is $10. On-time renewals are $150, and late renewals are $200.

The exam and application fees for the broker are combined, and are $225. The original license fee is $250, fingerprint processing is $24 and the Recovery Fund Fee is $10. On-time renewals are $200, and late renewals are $400.

For a complete list of Arizona Real Estate License fees, click here.

Real estate courses may be taken at a college or university in Arizona, or at an approved Arizona real estate school. Proof of out-of-state education credit includes demonstrating attendance at, and successful completion of, classes that are 'equivalent' to approved Arizona real estate courses.

Education waivers are possible if the Commissioner determines that your work experience in a real estate related field is equivalent to the prelicensure education requirement. Those who have a real estate license in another state might also meet the educational waiver requirements.

Arizona real estate schools provide the 90-hours of Arizona real estate courses needed to meet the salesperson license requirements. There are over 50 approved real estate schools in the state.

You must complete 24 hours of ADRE-approved Continuing Education courses every two years to renew a real estate license.

Once the real estate education requirements are met, applicants can apply for the examination. The real estate exams have two parts: general and Arizona-specific. One must apply for their real estate agent license in Arizona within one year from having passed the exam. A real estate salesperson must also take a six-hour continuing education course in Contract Law and Contract Writing before their license is actually activated.

The National Association of Realtors, the world's largest professional association, is especially helpful in locating real estate jobs in Arizona for those interested. The Association of Real Estate License Law Officials (ARELLO) provides outstanding guidance to help all real estate professionals. Arizona real estate careers are enhanced by membership in the National Association of Realtors, and the National Association of Real Estate Brokers (NAREB). The Southeast Arizona Association of Realtors, Inc. also provides career information.

Picea lutzii

Picea × lutzii - Lutz spruce

In a few restricted areas of north-western North America, in Alaska and north-western British Columbia, the ranges of the continental white spruce (P. glauca) and the extremely maritime sitka spruce (P. sitchensis) overlap. In these areas, the American H. J. Lutz discovered this intermediate form, which is named after him, in the 1950s.

Characteristics of both parent species can be seen in Lutz spruce: the long sharp needles of the Sitka spruce, but the round cross-section from the white spruce, combined with the latter’s bluish colour. This hybrid is one of the very few tree species to grow successfully in Europe’s northernmost arboretum at Norway’s Vardø, on the coast of the Arctic Ocean. It has also been noteworthy for its rapid growth in Greenland.

At Mustila there are small plantations of two differing provenances. One is from Seward in Alaska, close to the Pacific coast, the other from 600m asl in the valley of the River Skeena beyond the coastal mountain range of British Columbia. Planted in 2003-2004, the progress of these young trees is being followed with interest.

What are the 6 Essential Oils that Helps you to Lose Weight?

Thanks to their properties these essential oils help us to fight the anxiety for food, so they are perfect if our goal is to lose weight. In the search for methods to lose weight more easily we have found several essential oils that, by their properties, can help achieve better results. While they are not miraculous in terms of fat burning, their regular use helps supplement the effects of diet and exercise, increasing the rate of metabolism. These concentrate powerful antioxidants, fatty acids, vitamins and minerals whose absorption combats overweight and, among other things, prevents diseases. In addition, they are ideal for reducing inflammation of the tissues and the accumulation of toxins and fluids that interfere with the plan to lose those extra kilos.

Taking into account that many want to try them, next we want to share in detail the 6 best options.

1. Ginger Essential Oil

Thanks to its active compound, gingerol, the essential oil of ginger is one of the best natural supplements to promote weight loss. This substance, in addition to its vitamins and minerals, stimulates the metabolism activity and contributes to improve digestive health. Among other things, it acts as a natural diuretic, reducing fluid retention and joint pains.

How to Use?

  • Add 5 to 10 drops of ginger essential oil to your plates and drinks.
  • Optionally, add the same amount in a cup of hot water and drink it as an infusion.

2. Cinnamon Essential Oil

“Cinnamon essential oil has become popular for its ability to regulate blood sugar levels in patients with diabetes”.

However, in addition to this, in recent years it has been used as an aid to combat excess weight and control anxiety over food. The absorption of its antioxidants and fatty acids improves the metabolism activity and helps optimize the use of fats and carbohydrates as an energy source.

How to Use?

  • Add 5 or 6 drops of cinnamon essential oil to tea or coffee in the morning.
  • If you like, add it to your plate of oatmeal or fruit smoothies.

3. Lemon Essential Oil

Moderate consumption of lemon essential oil is a simple habit that helps boost metabolic functions, especially when taken in the morning hours. Its significant contribution of antioxidants, fatty acids and amino acids increases the energy level of the body and enhances metabolic expenditure. On the other hand, it helps to improve the digestion of food and reduces the tendency to eat dishes loaded with calories.

How to Use?

  • Consume 3 to 5 drops of lemon essential oil in a glass of warm water or an herbal tea.

4. Rosemary Essential Oil

The therapeutic properties of rosemary essential oil can be used to reduce the anxiety and stress that hinder metabolic activity in overweight people. While these factors are often ignored, it is important to provide treatment so that they do not become an obstacle to losing weight.

How to Use?

  • Put several drops of rosemary essential oil on your wrist and rub it to release its aroma.
  • If you prefer, add the oil in hot water and inhale its vapors for 5 minutes.
  • Do the treatment every time you feel anxious about the food.

5. Peppermint Essential Oil

In alternative medicine, peppermint essential oil has been noted for its anti-inflammatory and digestive properties, which reduce stomach discomfort. Added to this, it is an ingredient that increases the energy of the body and the rhythm of metabolism, helping you lose weight more easily. It is recommended to suppress appetite in cases of anxiety and, of course, as an ally to reduce swelling and cramps.

How to Use?

  • Dilute 5 or 10 drops of peppermint essential oil in a glass of warm water and consume it before each main meal.
  • Alternatively, add it in your fruit smoothies or infusions.

6. Grapefruit Essential Oil

Grapefruit essential oil contains antioxidant substances and fatty acids that help reduce the accumulation of fat in the abdominal area. Its active compounds increase the rate of metabolism and facilitate the use of fats as an energy source.

How to Use?

  • Dilute 2 or 3 drops of grapefruit essential oil in a glass of warm water and consume it on an empty stomach.
  • Optionally, add the same amount in your fruit smoothies.

Are you aiming to lose weight? Is your metabolism slow? Go ahead and try these essential oils and see for yourself how good they are to fight excess weight without suffering.

Adjustments and Manipulation

Chiropractic Adjustments

A chiropractic adjustment, also known as chiropractic manipulation, manual manipulation, or spinal manipulation, is the primary chiropractic treatment method for back pain.

Spinal manipulation relieves pressure on joints, reduces inflammation, and improves nerve function. It has been a trusted form of treatment since the ancient Greek Hippocrates documented manipulative techniques in his writings back in 1500 B.C. Today, spinal manipulation is used to treat conditions, such as allergies, menstrual cramps, and headaches.

There are well over 100 types of adjustment techniques used by chiropractors throughout the world. Some practitioners may use force and twisting, while other techniques are more gentle. Regardless of how they are performed, these techniques are intended to restore or enhance joint function with the objectives of reducing pain and resolving joint inflammation.

When vertebrae shift out of place, there is an overall systemic response from the muscular system to the central nervous system. Without proper alignment and flow, our nerves, immune system, and minds cannot function at their highest peak.

Overall, spinal adjustments and manipulations are an excellent way to keep the body functioning at its highest level without any discomfort. When the body is adequately aligned, it becomes able to respond and perform as it was built to do.

Centenary Stage Company's critically acclaimed Young Performers Workshop is now seeking new and returning applicants for the 2020 Spring Session. Due to the social distancing, health and safety regulations due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the program will now be held online and will include a variety of classes in the performing arts including: private voice lessons, stage and special effect makeup, playwriting, monologue workshops, theatre box office, and various dance classes.

Hailed as "a state treasure" the Centenary Stage Company Young Performers Workshop (YPW) is a musical theatre training program for children 8 - 18 years old and operates under the auspices of the Centenary Stage Company, a not-for-profit Equity Theatre Company in residence at Centenary University. Dedicated to the enrichment of young lives through the use of theatre arts, the Young Performers Workshop is one of a few youth theatre programs to offer both formal training along - side practical production experience. Career-minded students can prepare for the rigors of a professional career; yet, students not aiming for a professional career benefit from the program, with its emphasis on discipline, self-worth and development of communication skills.

Included in possible course options are private tap dance lessons from Michael Blevins, a Broadway, film and television veteran, who also serves as the director of the program. Various staff members of Centenary Stage Company and faculty of the University Theatre Department, who are experts in their field, will teach the many other courses as a part of the Summer 2020 session.

As in the past, this unique summer session has been designed to meet the needs of beginning, intermediate, and advanced performers. The 5-week program will include 4 weeks of workshops and classes and 1 week of presentations online. These presentations will be performed as a “cabaret” online as the nature of the pandemic has affected the ability to host live performances, which is how the program has traditionally been completed.

Students selected to the program will rehearse individual projects with each course’s instructor culminating in the recorded performances for the online cabaret.

The Centenary Stage Company Young Performers Workshop is made possible by the generous support of Panther Valley Pharmacy.

For more information, to register visit or email the Centenary Stage Company box office at The box office staff is currently working remotely and is open Monday through Friday from 1 - 5pm for live chat and emails.

Mike Freer - The Desperate Despot?

Regular readers will recall that I started this blog in support of Mill Hill resident Rog T, whose blog on the Barnet Times was cancelled after he wrote an article calling the leader of the council Stalinist Mr Bean.

Rog and I are at opposite ends of the political spectrum. I’m a right wing Conservative. He’s a swivel eyed Trot! But for all our differences, there is one matter we agree about - the need for open, honest, democratic and accountable government.

On Monday, as the heaviest snow for 18 years fell across London, Mike Freer wrote an article on his Leader Listens blog saying it was business as usual in Barnet. In Rog’s opinion it wasn’t, and he posted a comment to that effect. Freer refused to publish Rog’s contribution, but he did publish a comment from another reader thanking the council for being so wonderful! You can read the full story on Rog’s blog.

Is Mike Freer so insecure that he cannot even engage with the public in a simple discussion about the effect of the weather? His blog is called “Leader Listens” not “Leader only listens to people who agree with him.”

If Freer was running a free ‘personal’ blog on a site like, he could moderate messages to his heart’s content. If he only wanted to allow messages from people saying how wonderful he was, then that would be his right. But “Leader Listens” is a publicly funded blog and whilst the amount it costs to run is a drop in the ocean compared to the amount of money “missing” in Iceland, it is still public money.

He should either have published Rog’s comments and just ignored them or published them and added a simple reply “I disagree”. But to refuse to publish politely written comments which merely offer an alternative point of view is censorship of the very worst kind.

Rog T said...

Freer is either :-

a)To thick to figure out a sensible reply

or b) To cowardly to show dissent

or c) both

Unfortunately for him, everyone in Barnet saw for their own eyes what happened and a few have said to me that he's lost the plot.

Amanda said...

Sticks and stones Rog, Sticks and Stones

Amanda said...

Oh and Dave why is what you do any different to the Leader Listens blog?

Having just posted a comment I am greeted with:

"Your comment has been saved and will be visible after blog owner approval"

Umm pot calling kettle me thinks!

Anonymous said...

Where I live (outside Barnet) it was choas on Monday morning and the roads only cleared when I got onto the main routes in Barnet. Praise is due to the men and women who pulled out all the stops in the really bad weather.

Well done the Council.

Don't Call Me Dave said...

Have you taken extra stupid pills today? Content moderation is not the same as censorship. I have moderation on to prevent people from posting obscenities, but otherwise all messages are published, even if they criticise me. Freer only allows messages to be posted which say how wonderful he or the council is.

manswell said...

It seems pretty obvious to me what the difference is - Freer's blog is paid out of council tax.

Amanda and anon seem strangely supportive of Mr Freer.

Rog T said...

So we finally have an admission from "Amanda" that she's a certain Mike Freer posting in disguise?

The full quote she/he uses is

"sticks and stones will break MY bones but words will never hurt ME"

Message to Mike/Amanda - The people I've spoken to who saw your "business as usual in barnet" blog and have said that if you really believe that, then you are clearly living on another planet. Your own supporters are not impressed. They aren't much impressed by your cowardice either.

Central heating maintenance

Central heating maintenance is essential. Regardless of how old your central heating system may be, regular maintenance will ensure that it lasts longer and operates more efficiently. A central heating system that has not been maintained regularly is highly vulnerable to break downs during the colder months when increased stress is placed on the system. This can easily result in unexpected and expensive repair bills.

Property owners can take preventative measures to ensure break downs do not occur by making sure that your system is maintained on a regular basis. Most people can measure whether their systems are functioning but what they cannot measure is whether they are running efficiently. As central heating systems age, they become less efficient without regular maintenance resulting in higher energy bills for property owners.

Benefits of preventative maintenance

Preventative maintenance of your central heating can significantly reduce the likelihood of component failures or leaks and flooding in tanks. Leaks can have the potential to put your family at risk of carbon monoxide poisoning increasing the dangers associated with irregular maintenance. Heating systems operate inconspicuously and when components break, repair costs can be high.

By contacting a professional at Noven Heating for annual maintenance on your central heating system, we can help to ensure:

  • Lower energy bills: Our engineers will ensure that your system is fine tuned for optimal and efficient performance to reduce the strain on your system and the cost of your heating bill.
  • Longer lasting life: Faulty central heating systems are forced to work harder making them vulnerable to failure. Routine maintenance can extend the system’s natural lifecycle.
  • Less repairs: Preventative maintenance can expose minor faults in your system that could spiral into a hefty repair bill if left unattended. We resolve issues before they become problems.

From dirty filters to poor air flow, there are several culprits that can prevent your system from operating the way you want it. Allow a professional from NXG Heating to inspect your system to ensure that it is operating as it should.

Get ready for winter

Central heating systems commonly begin to develop problems at sign of first frost when increased pressure is placed on the system. By providing your system with routine maintenance before the winter arrives, you can ensure that your system will be keeping you comfortable all winter long without any interruption. Alternatively, if your entire system is old and regularly experiences faults we would be pleased to offer full central heating installation. London installations are our specialism so please don’t hesitate to get in touch for a quote.

Ask about our Power Flush and MagnaClean services for enhanced efficiency and lower energy bills.

Share A Spoon - It's Souper Fun!

Happy Thursday!

It's time to Share a Spoon with Adrienzgirl over at the Think Tank!

This week's theme is SOUP!  Being that fall is kicking in here in the great state of Minnesota, I'm souper excited to see what people are sharing.

As you read this, there is a good chance I am in the air, on my way to visit my dear friend, Adrienzgirl.  (Be jealous!  It's ok!)  But being the great friend that I am, I still found time between laundry and packing to make a soup and share.  So, here it is, one of my favorite soups -

Corn Bisque

2-3 tablespoons olive oil
2-3 medium potatoes, diced
1/2 of a large onion, chopped
1 cup water
1 teaspoon celery salt
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground white pepper
1 tablespoon minced parsley
2 1/2 cups skim milk
1 bag frozen corn
1 can sweetened condensed milk

Sautee onions and potatoes in olive oil until onions are tender.  In a pot, add all other ingredients, then add onion and potato mixture.  Simmer over low heat for 30 minutes or until soup reaches desired consistency.
The end.

Chances are, this is what my kids are eating for the next two nights.  Mostly because they're too lazy to cook for themselves while The Man is at work.

Hope you're all having a GREAT Thursday!  I know that I am!
1 teaspoon celery salt
