THE TERKS!

From Leslie Readers Husband Adam:

My band, THE TERKS have been nominated for the 2011 eWorld Music Awards, which will be held on Grammy Weekend @ the legendary SIR Studios, in Hollywood. The award show was created by the people behind the Golden Globes and the Independent Spirit Awards. A panel of top recording artists, music producers and executives encompassing the full range of the music industry were assembled to select the most promising artists from thousands of submissions from all over the planet. The Terks were one of six artists nominated by the panel for best band. The winner of the remaining six will be chosen by the fan’s vote. Voting may only be accessed through our Boomerang Media Station™. Boomerang is a quick and free installation, and is available for both Internet Explorer and Firefox for PC's and Firefox only for Macs. Any votes not cast through the Boomerang will not count and fans may only vote once.

Is there any way you can help us GET THE WORD OUT TO VOTE? This would really help the local scene in UTAH because our competition is from LA, BOSTON, and NEW YORK. They are ALL on bigger indie labels with three of them already on the billboard charts. If a little band, with no label, from South Jordan, Utah could get enough people to vote we could really do something BIG! If we can get enough votes to finish in the top 3, then we will perform on the awards show in front of all of the major labels and executives. This is the opportunity of a lifetime. Can you please follow the instructions below and vote for us and forward this on to as many people as you can? It only takes about 4 minutes total. WE would really appreciate it.


Thanks

To straighten out a few things...

First off, I am typing with a fussy toddler in my arms. I am sure some of you have been there. Anyway...

There has been talk of a craft night on Wednesday this week. I was staring to get it ready and realized, I just have too much going on. If someone else wants to put it together let me know, send me an email and I will post all the info about it.

Also, Audrey Cazier had decided to join in on the baby celebration on Thursday! Yea!
This is a pic of her new baby boy Ayden with big brother Rylin (I hope I spelled his name right.) She will be coming by not bringing Ayden. He has been sick and she doesn't want him to get any worse. I hope to see you on Thursday!!

(Ok, now that I have changed a diaper, made a snack for Carter and sent him off to Piano and ate a chocolate bar myself, a few hours later this post is done!)

I was so excited by this concepts and the innovative products Norwex has to offer, that I want to host a party and share it with you!

Would you like to cut cleaning time by 75%?
Breathe easier by cleaning without chemicals?

12877 South 1830 West Road
Riverton, Utah 84065

Friday February 18th- At Sarah Molloy's (I'll let you know the time later)

Mark you calendars!!

Leslie Reader is having a weight loss party at her home this Tuesday the 26th at 7:00pm. We will be discussing healthy ways to decrease or maintain your weight physically, emotionally, and mentally. There will be product samples, products for purchase, affirmations, exercise ideas, and healthy, easy recipes. If you are having trouble sticking with your New Year's weight goals come for new ideas and support. Address 4358 DeGray Dr. RSVP lesliespathome@gmail.com

Do any of you really want to go out with your husband more often but can't afford a babysitter every week? Um, yeah, me too. So, the solution is a date night babysitting swap. This is basically how it works. We will pair up in groups of four families based on number of kids and needs (we don't want the groups to be too big). You will babysit one Friday or Saturday night a month and you get to go out the other three weeks. It can be a fun movie night for the kids....AND you get to go out with your husband THREE weekends a month. :) There might also be a group doing only every other week if that's more appealing to you. Call me at 801-253-4812 or email jeffandkrisbrandt@hotmail.com if you are interested or if you have additional questions about how this is going to work. I will also consider suggestions. Let's get this going for February!

Neighborhood Co-op

Hello there ladies of the 14th ward and Daybreak neighborhood who have young children,
We've got a neighborhood babysitting co-op going on and would like to invite anyone interested to join! It's an awesome way to exchange babysitting services without spending money. If you're like me and don't have a mom who lives in town to help, (or even if you do...) imagine being able to grocery shop, go to appointments, take a bubble bath, get housecleaning done, exercise, or just relax for a couple of hours...without your kiddos!
Here's how it works. Anyone who joins gets six hours worth of tickets per child, and when you want to use your tickets, you call up whoever is on the schedule on the day you need and let them know when you'll be bringing your kids over. You "pay" one hour of tickets per child per hour, so if you dropped two kids off for 2 1/2 hours, you'd "pay" 5 hours of tickets. Then, when you are on the schedule (you choose your shift), you can earn back tickets by watching other people's kids. It's a great system, especially because your children see these outings as playdates.
We encourage you to sign up for two shifts per month, either morning (9-1) or afternoon (12-4).

I'm planning a meeting at my house this Thursday, Jan. 6th, at 8:30pm for everyone to come, ask questions, and set up the schedule for the next four months or so. Email me if you're interested (maryelampros@gmail.com) and I can answer any immediate questions you have.
Just so you know who's in it already, we have Kristin Brandt, Lahni Castellano, Mindie Butterfield, Karin Brooks, Cami Johnston, and myself, with Teresa Akagi and Sydnie Christensen interested in joining. Our goal is to have both shifts covered every day Monday-Friday. If enough people are interested in a date night co-op (Friday and Saturday nights), let me know and we could get that going as well.
Thanks and hope to hear from you!
