Fun Friday: My Top 3 Favorite Superbowl Commercial Picks




I’m a football fan, so it would make sense that I’m a super bowl fan.
I am not, however, a halftime fan… 
unless I have to pee. 
(Because I have plenty of time to do that and not miss anything!)

I actually liked this year's half time show, at least most of it where Katy Perry was on. 
In my opinion it was one of the cleanest and best performed shows in a long time.
Sometimes, when I sit down with my son to watch football games (especially the super bowl) I always wonder what I’ll need to educate his ten year old brain on before he should need to know.
And this one didn’t worry me.

So, how about the commercials, you ask?
Well, of course I love the commercials!
 (Well, most of them)

This year my top 3 favorites are:

100 Years -Dodge I have a Dodge and love it, I also respect my elders because they truly are beautiful and full of wisdom- they can also be funny, bossy and don't sugarcoat things… what’s not to like?

Beer Puppy -Budweiser I don’t drink Budweiser, but who doesn’t like a good tear jerker- and puppies?)

Chevy Trucks - Love them, hated the heart-stopping first 3 seconds of this commercial --(I was in a restaurant with about 100 people- when this disturbing commercial depicting our TV signal copping out during the start of the Super Bowl, the silence was uncomfortable-- but the laughter and cheering afterwards was priceless!)

Back to School Anxiety: Bullying

Download “School Boy Being Stressed” by David Castillo Dominici via freedigitalphotos.net I recently wrote about how to help your child if they’re struggling with going back to school because they were bullied. My biggest most important tip was to listen, because I honestly could not write a ‘How-to-make-them-not-afraid’ column. Frankly I thought that was absurd. Fear is sometimes real. Anxiety is sometimes truly there, and for a good reason. Our job as parents isn’t to try to make it go away, it’s to try to find out the true source of those worrisome feelings. If you’d like to read more, click here. And if you’re child is struggling to find excitement about the new school year, don’t deny it, just accept it and move forward gently.

Green Punch Buggy....!!!!

Green Punch Buggy...No Punch Back! As I was writing this blog post, my son came to me showing off his Lego creation. And don't you know I got hit at least five times since on my computer screen was displaying at least five different punch buggies, of five different colors thanks to Google Images. (Bad timing I'm thinking...) How can we possibly have world peace with these silly cars in the world!? ;) Don't the owners of these cute-but-obnoxious-cars understand that driving these things around town promotes violence!? ;) Anyhow.... The original purpose of this blog was to ask parents everywhere this question: Do you find yourself saying 'PUNCH BUGGY *BLANK-COLOR*! '  to yourself, even when the kids are not in the car??? I do! Isn't it funny how those games we used to play as a child are still around? I bet our parents say the same thing.... HAPPY FRIIIIIIDAAAAYYYY! P.S. I got hit at least ten more times, since as my son stood beside

Good Customer Service At Home

Over the years, my careers have mainly been customer service based. I started in a family business and then moved on up through the rungs from waitress, to hostess, to sales associate, manager and eventually the GM of a hotel. In all my years, my training taught me that you should always do your best to take your customer all the way to what they need, make them happy, and never leave them until they are done with you. I pride myself on my customer service abilities. Though the other day, I think I failed at customer service in my own home! I was getting ready to cut my daughter's hair and because of how long it had gotten (she's been growing it out for a year!) I felt this time it would be best  if instead of me spritzing it with water, she could wash and condition it real quick. She was fully clothed so I just suggested she run into the bathroom and wash her hair in the tub. She’s fourteen. I suppose I just assumed that she knew how to kneel over the tub and do it.
