Anyone need a job?

I got an email from a friend in high school and she wanted me to spread the word...

My brother's fiancee lives in Gilbert and manages a Shade clothing store. She just got the job, but had to start hiring for her store from scratch, so she needs a couple more people to work there. She said she still has a lot of different schedule options available. It doesn't pay great (like up to 9 an hour), but it would be a good part-time job for someone who just wanted/needed an entry level job to bring in extra money. Her main concern is just that the people she hires are mature and reliable. I think she could even work with 2 stay at home moms who wanted to tag-team babysitting and split a full-time position. Like I said, she just wants people who would be dependable. And, it would help if they're down with Shade and what people need it for:) So, I figure I'd help her w/ all my lds connections there.

It's at the Chandler Fashion Mall.

Emily's work email is emerrithew@shadeclothing.com. They can contact her that way, or call the store at (480) 899-1779. She for sure needs someone on Saturday at least 3 or 4 hours, more if you want. And, possibly a few closes. Still needs day help. Lots of help, basically right now.

P.S. I think someone could get all the hours they wanted right now, or pretty much name their schedule, if they were willing to work some closes and at least 4 hours on Saturday. I wasn't very clear in the last message. Part or full time.

New idea for Family Home Evening this week

As we are all on the lookout for a good deal nowadays, I thought I would share an idea that saves money, gives the kids something fun to do, and saves mom from having to find something for dinner. The Chick-Fil-A at Gilbert and Germann has family night on Mondays from 5pm-7:30pm and for each combo meal purchased you get a 4 piece kids meal free. Here's the kicker Monday the 16th they are having pony and draft horse rides. My kids did this the last time they had it and it was sooo much fun, great picture opportunity too. Hopefully we will see you there. If it by chance rains their phone number is 480-812-1717 so you can call and check to make sure they are still having the horses.

Here's a New Adventure for you, Divas!

This week, your incredible adventure destination is

Peru!

Just kidding.

It's really

The Renaissance Festival.

(Or, as I lovingly renamed it, The Cleavage Festival... as much of the costumery is quite... er... bountifully, bustierfully filled. Thought you should be warned.)

The friendly, wandering RenFaire Staff, often had free wit for the adults, and free little goodies for the kidlins.

There seemed to be a theme with the talent.

Even though there was a lot of juggling, each performer doubled as a hilarious comedian.

It wouldn't be a true Festival de Renaissance without a bit of

a chainsaw-cutting, apple-eating, tight-rope-unicycling acrobat,

a giant rocking horse,

a double flute playing faerie,

elephant, llama (no, we didn't really go to Peru), and camel rides,

and, of course, the

The food was pretty good, and pretty reasonably priced (not Disneylandesque, by any means), but no outside food or drink is allowed inside, so budget accordingly.

What's not to love about a place where

and people juggling flaming torches atop ladders are commonplace?

If you plan to go, know that it isn't the type of event that you pay admission and then just worry about the food...

every ride costs additional cash. Pack some greenbacks, you'll need them.

Another thing to know is that most rides have a minimum height or weight requisite. But for the little ones, there is a free backyard-size playground, and the butterfly ride (the only free-of-charge ride there).

All of the shows are free and include much juggling, belly dancing, comedy, bird of prey education, and jousting to name a few. There is also a free petting zoo where you might meet this fellow.

The hit of the day for me, was watching my kids on the bungee trampolines.

I got a kick out of it, but I'm not so sure about the kids... they seemed a little shaken up when they were back on the ground.

Have the kids bring their piggy banks if you they want to bring home souvenirs. Our kids each took $10 and only brought home these

and this.

Overall, we had a wonderful time, albeit we were a little surprised at the spendiness of this venture. It was definitely fun and, without a doubt, we'll be going again next year.

The Renaissance Festival is only here weekends through March 29, so

Make Haste,

Make Plans,

Make Medieval Merriment!
