The entrepreneur side of Lulu

This weekend we had a yard sale,but it made me want to start my own business.You see I being wanting for some time now, to make a little thrift store just for kids clothes and kids items.A store were people can bring the clothes or items that their kids have out grown and exchange them for something they can use ,or even just sell their items to me,or just come and shop for affordable and nice things.I really want to do this especially now that everything is getting so expensive,and people are losing their jobs.I would like to offer a place where they can go and still buy nice clothes and things that they need for the kids at affordable prices.That way I will be helping them and at the same time they will be helping me.
I would like to ask for your help in spreading the word around to people who have small kids that have outgrown their clothes or just want to clear their clothes.I would more than happily accept donation or buy it from them at a reasonable price.
I would also appreciate your prayers, as I embark in this new adventure of staring my own business.So when your cleaning your children closet, as you are getting ready to buy new clothes school year....remember don't throw those outgrown clothes. consider donating or selling them to me.
Thank you in advance for your help....

P.S
please, spread the word around your friends


suggested items:
jeans,shirts,baby clothes,backpacks,baby shoes,toddler shoes,high chairs,stroller,walkers....etc...............

Squash Anyone??

( one picture was taken the 11th of this month and the other was the 24th....same squash...)





I'm not sure if you guys know but Nancy and I have a little garden. we decided to make one in order to save money when it came to buying tomatoes. we planted to tomato plants, some peppers, some zucchini, and some pickling cucumbers along with some lemon cucumbers. oh i almost forgot to mention....some pink banana jumbo squash.. the thing is our tomatoes....our main reason for this are getting eaten by rabbits...also our zucchinis are getting eaten by gophers ( we have two types growing....only the mexican zucchini is growing, the other one is being eaten). our pickling cucumbers have grown and have been eaten by us. our peppers haven't fully developed yet.....all these veggies are common in our house, we've bought them from stores before....but what we are having problems with, and the whole point for this blog is....our pink banana jumbo squash....WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSE TO DO WITH THEM??? so far we haven three of the squashes growing...these things are huge....one is being given to the neighbor when its ready to be eaten.....that leaves us with two.....Nancy has been looking all over the internet for recipes on this squash and has not been able to come up with anything. this is were you come in.....we were wondering if any of you guys might have had an encounter with this squash before and knows how to cook it or even make bake goods with it. hoping you can help....these things are said to be 20 plus lbs....whatever help you can offer is truly welcomed....

p.s. we would have a picture of it, but nancy's camera broke.

Congratulations Nancy.!!!!

Today I took my kids to the DMV to apply for their driver license.Martin and joseangel were not able to do it ,because their birth certificate was to old and worn out.I was a little disappointed about that ,but was not able to do nothing about it.I explained to the clerk that they looked like that, because I haven't bought a birth certificate since they were born,and that I had to put tape on them,because they rip from the folds,but the lady was not nice at all,and she just told me "when you get the new ones come back".Nancy was able to take her test because she had already got her id.she was very nervous and kept on saying "mom I m not going to make it"I just kept telling her that she was going to do fine,and to remember that she can do all things through Christ.I am happy to tell you that she did it,and only missed 3 questions.She even did better than me.Now all she needs is to start driving,she doesn't have any more excuses to tell me NO!!! I will let you now how our driving adventures go.

My son's graduation!!!!!

I just wanted to start, by saying how proud we are of our son.This May, he finally graduated,It was a very proud moment to see our boy walk down to get his diploma and see how happy he was to have accomplished this.His face was glowing and his smile was ear to ear,it was great to see him so happy.It seems like it was yesterday that I left my shy little chongito in Kindergarten and now I get to see him graduate.
There are many things that I'm grateful for and this is one of them.
I love you my little chongito...

Happy birthday my Nancy ,MAMA loves you....I can't write anymore,because she warned me not to get mushy.
