The Party Animal takes off with The RocketMoms

RocketMoms Project #1 - About Me 

So we had to create a lens about ourselves. Tell a little something maybe someone did not know. So I decided to write about My Senior Dog Bailey and what it is like living with an aging dog. If you know anything about me you know I am a HUGE animal lover and have 9 pets in my home so this was perfect and I was wanting to write about her for some time.

My Senior Dog Bailey

This page is dedicated to my Senior Dog Bailey who I rescued October 21st 1995. She is one of the best dogs anyone could have asked for, but being a Senior Pet now we have seen many changes in her and know our time left with her is limited. Even tho...

RocketMoms Project #1 - (Advanced) - Caption Contest 

So for this project we were introduced to a new module ; The "Caption Module" where our visitors can add captions to your photos - now that sounded fun. So I decided to use my pets for this one again and hired my readers to tell me What my Pets are trying to tell me. So if you would like the job - u got it, just click on my lens below are you are HIRED, no reference checks needed.

What are my pets trying to tell me?

Your duties will be to tell me exactly what my pets are trying to tell me - I have been ripping my hair out trying to understand. All I can hear is Barking and Meowing from my 9 pets and I think they are trying to tell me something. If you are readin...

RocketMoms Project #2 - Niche 

Oh Boy Oh Boy a Niche - I have those!!! My two Niches are Kids Birthday Parties and Pets. So what I decided to write about was using my Birthday Party Niche and I choose something needed; How to Recycle Mylar Balloons. This was a subject that I get asked a lot as a Party Planner all the time so I decided to address it - thanks RocketMoms for giving me the push.

Recycle your Mylar Party Balloons

Being a Party Planner I see so many Mylar Balloons bought and tossed out into the garbage way too much. I have been asked on more than one occasion if there is any use for them when the party is over. The answer - YES there is. There are so many crea...

RocketMoms Project #2 - (Advanced) - Your Most Prized Possession 

So we had to write about our most prized possession aside from the obvious of our family and pets. Something we would grab if our home was on fire etc... This was easy for me - it is my Photographs hands down. So I wrote about how you can protect your photos from disaster so that you will never go through a devastating loss of your memories.

Save your Photographs from Disaster

Photographs to me are my most prized possession next to my family and my pets. I would be devastated if anything ever happened to them. They tell my life, they are my memories and without them I would be lost. I was given the challenge from the Rocke...

RocketMoms Project #3 - Top 10 List 

So I had an idea in mind for this one and then the Death of Michael Jackson happened. So I changed it to a dedication to him and chose The 10 things I will always remember about Michael Jackson. This was a hard one to write - I grew up with him as my idol and like everyone else it was a devastating loss, but I felt good knowing I made a nice page that was all about him and all the things that stick out to me as I think back and remember him. See if you have some of the fun memories I do:

10 Things I will always remember about Michael Jackson

The sad news of Michael Jackson passing has brought back many memories of my childhood. The posters on my wall in my room, my scrapbooks filled with news articles and magazine photos, his singing and dancing and so much more. I am going to write abou...

RocketMoms Project #4 - Holiday 

The Holidays - oh what fun!!! So I thought and thought and decided I would write about my Tropical Christmas' I had when I lived in Florida. I always loved seeing flamingos dressed in Santa suits - so why not. I am now back up north where it snows, but my memories are still there and it was different for me to be in shorts on Christmas - so I wrote about it.

A Tropical Christmas

Of course he does. Even without all the snow a Tropical Christmas is just as beautiful. It may take some getting use to if you are from up north, but many only know about a Christmas celebration in the sun and sand. What you will find here: Lots of...

RocketMoms Project #4 - (Advanced) - Acknowledgment Lens 

Wow - so many people and things I want to Acknowledge. BUT my idea for this lens came to me while I mopped my kitchen floor. With all of those pets my floors get quite dirty ya know!! I have always had a love of vacuuming - that is right - no complaints from me when there is a new vacuum under the Christmas Tree for me. One thing I hated doing was mopping until I discovered the Bissell Floor Steamer. So while mopping the floor one day with my Bissell and thinking how much easier mopping has become I needed to Acknowledge Bissell. So that is how this lens came about. Again thanks RocketMoms for making me write about things I would not have written before - oh another Acknowledgment - see so many.

Thank You Bissell

This page is my acknowledgment assignment from the RocketMom Summer Assignment series. As part of my homework I needed to create an acknowledgment lens. After much thought I can up with who I would thank while mopping my kitchen floor. So I would lik...

RocketMoms Project #5 - Recipe Lens 

I had to think of what recipe I would share. I had shared my Turkey Soup Recipe in the past so I thought with the fall coming up I would share another family favorite and that is Corn Chowder. My husband makes it and I thought I would need photos - so it was a great excuse to have him make a batch. I know it is summer, but since I keep my home so cool from the A/C it would be fine to have a yummy bowl of Chowder. It really is delicious no matter what season it is - Soup is good food.

Corn Chowder

I am sharing a recipe for Corn Chowder that we make all the time (ok my husband makes it). I love it the most in the fall and winter when it is brisk outside and bowl of Chowder tastes so much better when it warms your belly. I love thick and creamy...

RocketMoms Project #5 - (Advanced) - How To Lens 

I thought I would make a How to find the Best Birthday Supplies for Kids for this one. I shared my Top 10 favorite places to find some great Birthday Party Theme Supplies and more. I hope I help out some parents with this one.

Kids Birthday Party Supplies

Planning a Birthday Party can be overwhelming for some parents and finding just the right Birthday Party Supplies can also be a challenge at times. There are so many Birthday Party Themes out there some that have an overabundance of matching party g...

RocketMoms Project #6- Travel Lens 

This project came at the perfect time - I was heading to the beach - Long Beach Island, NJ to be exact. It was my first time going there so I would be able to write about it with a fresh perspective. So I made sure to get plenty of pictures and information all about it so I could create this lens upon my return. I had the best time relaxing on the beach and being with my family and lots of cousins. This one was easy to do since I was so rested and had so many great things to say.

Long Beach Island NJ

I recently got to discover a wonderful place on the Jersey Shore called Long Beach Island also known as LBI. From the moment we drove in I was in love. This vacation spot screams fun in the sun and is so family oriented. If you are looking for a grea...

RocketMoms Project #6 - (Advanced) - Space Lens 

This one was a bit challenging and happened to be the very last one I completed. We had to build a lens around only 5 modules - that is really tough. It took me a long time to decide what I would do this one on. Being it was called a Space Lens, even though not really about Space, I made it about Space. Did that make sense? I love pictures of Nebulas in Space so I thought I would share. I did add 2 extra modules, but I say they do not count because they are only promoting other RocketMom's at the very bottom.

Nebulas that form in Space

If you have never seen what a Nebula that has formed in space looks like then you will see some here. They are the most amazing photos that I am so intrigued by. The colors and the formations are amazing. There are many posters of these colorful clus...

RocketMoms Project #7- Charity Lens 

Now of course my main charity of choice has to do with Animals so I wrote all about it. I shared the many ways one can donate, rescue and support the lives of our furry friends. So take a look and help them - they need us.

Help an Animal in need with a Donation

I am an animal lover with a big heart and I have opened my home to many animals over my life time. Currently I have 9 pets and I am happy to say they are all rescues. I have room in my heart and home for many more and my number may grow larger. But n...

RocketMoms Project #7 - (Advanced) - Reading NEXT 

This one stumbled me since I do not pick up books and read anymore now that I am on the computer all the time. Most of my reading is done there. But my reading is more research than a good novel. At first I was going to skip this assignment and thought - the books I read count. So with that I have a book that I have been wanting to read having to do with Re-Purposing your T-Shirts - so I decided to share and I think you all will be glad I did.

120 New Ways to Transform a T-Shirt

I am all for creativity and I have to share these great books with you that I have discovered. We all have T-Shirts in our drawers we do not wear anymore - some we may not wear because they are old, stained, ripped or we have simply outgrown them. We...

RocketMoms Project #8 - (Advanced) - Summer Entertainment Destination 

Now for the very last project we had to write about a Summer Destination. So I decided I would write about an Amusement Park that is so popular in the state of PA called Knoebel's. We took the kids there last year and it was such a great place and the perfect share.

Knoebels Amusement Park

Knoebel's Amusement Park is a very popular vacation destination for many who live in Pennsylvania and the surrounding areas. Families reserve their spots in the cottages and campgrounds at least a year in advance to make sure they will get their spac...
