This week's theme's:starting, looking, listening, snapping, making
1. Right now I'm starting to attempt getting my blog up and running at a regular pace. It's proving difficult, but I am determined.
2. I'm looking forward to Kai's birthday. I know its still 3 months away, but I can't help it! My baby boy is going to be TWO!! So exciting.
3. I constantly have music on in our house, and recently listening to Hozier has been my current addiction supplemented with The Voice season 7 contestants Taylor John Williams & Matt McAndrew. I've added a music player to the top of the blog page with some music from all three artists... Feel free to check it out!
4. Snapping? I'm confused by this prompt... maybe they are referring to Snapchat? to which the only things I really snap are videos of my kid and weird randoms to my hubby. <3
5. I've been making tons of different soups and such in my new Dutch oven! man oh man am I in love! i plan on sharing a few recipes soon!
Well that's it for me! Not much of anything excited going on here.. Hopefully some of you will have a bit more pep in your posts? Can't wait to read!
Next week's theme's: wondering, running, winning, calling, finishing
So this little boy Alex, RSVP's to a birthday party with every intention or attending, and then something comes up last minute (spending time with his grandparents) and his parents can't find the birthday invite to inform the party host. Since it's just a 5 years old's birthday party & not a business meeting his parents figured they would just apologize to the host parent when they saw them at the school in the next few days. When that didn't happen it didn't seem to be a moment of distress, so no further action was taken.
So when Alex's dad Mr. Nash found a random brown envelope in Alex's backpack after school one day, he thought it a bit strange. Opening up the envelope revealed an invoice from the birthday party, saying Alex owed £15.95 as a "no show fee."
This parent, thought it appropriate to send an invoice to the school for them to pass along to the child? An invoice?
For those of you that are not sure, £15.95 translates to $24.04.
You sent an INVOICE. To a child.
For a little over $20.00 ??
That is ridiculous!
I've read a few different articles on the matter and a few points must be brought to attention. First of all, yes.. they did RSVP. BUT this is the chance you take when throwing a child's party! There will people who make it, and people who don't. I throw many parties on a regular basis, but never would I CHARGE my friends if they didn't show!
And if you really feel like they owe you some help covering the cost there are SO many waaaaaaay better ways to get someones attention!
What she did was rude, & in my opinion not handled very classy.
You eat the cost, and move on with your life! And you sure a shit don't ruin your kids life over $20 damn dollars! Uuugh. What do you think? Was the mother out of line? Or is this exactly the kind of brazen honesty the world needs?
Okay, I don't know about you but I love awards shows. & Saturday nights Golden Globes were FANTASTIC!
First off, you can NOT go wrong with Tina Fey & Amy Poehler hosting. They have announced that this was their last year hosting and if that turns out to be true I am going to be so sad! On top of being absolutely hilarious, they leave NO subject untouched. This year was no different when they closed out with quips at the Bill Cosby scandal...
