Don't Be A Jerk (What I Know For Sure) & #iPPP

This slide from a keynote speaker at BlissDom sums everything up.  Everything.  It applies everywhere--in business, social media, church, parenting, your neighborhood, your marriage.  Just Don't BE A JERK.

I find it so funny, that the marketing professionals and business gurus can give advice about numbers and projections and audience reach and exposure and a million other marketing/business-y stuff, but in the end it all comes down to this....don't be a jerk.  

We all have those over-tired, grumpy moments when we aren't at our best.  It's okay to have moments.  Just don't make it a habit.  Be nice.  Golden Rule it folks, treat others like you want to be treated.  Don't be all talk, walk the walk.  Just don't, let's say it together now, be a jerk.  It's pretty simple, that's what I know for sure (this week).

Here's What Else I Know For Sure (This Week):

• Spring has sprung (sort of) and Super Lucy is getting trendy.  My girl has never been afraid to mix patterns and it so happens to be all the rage this season. Who knew?

• Want expert advice on talking to a celebrity?  Well, this isn't the vlog for that, but I can give you advice on what not to do.  Check it out in case you missed it:

• We still have a puppy.  Damn, it is so much work and I cannot tell you that I am truly loving it.  BUT she is pretty cute and the kids love our little destructive adorable Cosi.

• I was seeing red this week, and loving it.  The support of gay marriage on Facebook shown by people changing their avatars to the symbol below, was a powerful image.  I loved seeing all the red on my screen.

• It's Spring Break and we're going....no where.  But that's cool because we'll have fun doing...something.  

Lucy isn't overly thrilled about spending the week with her brothers. 

Some people paint eggs this time of year, but we paint rocks.  Filling the time and fancying up our yard.

• I got a little obsessed with this documentary last week-Happy.  It's pretty fascinating, people are pretty fascinating.  I think watching this movie will make you happier.  You can watch it on Netflix.

• Giving away stuff is the opposite of being a jerk.  In the spirit of un-jerkiness, I want to give someone a bag full of some of the swag I got from BlissDom last week.  

In the swag bag:

Seattle's Best Coffee Tasting Kit which includes five samples (each sample brews 8-12 cups) of their ground coffee for you try.

Sample of Gain Fireworks, an in-wash scent booster which is a new product coming out this July.

Package of Gevalia coffee, you know the company with the attractive Swedish male spokesmodel? You'll get a 12-ounce house blend to try.

Pedia Care Fever Reducer for infants 0-36 months.  Keep it for your baby or give it to a friend who has a baby.
