      Episode # 2 - Flosstube Rules!




      Life Updates
      ·         Mindy - My life has gotten quite busy since last time. I had a ton of works hours and also my kitchen was blown up! Well, not literally but we had the cabinets refinished and had to empty everything (including the fridge) out of the room. Also, have been getting ready for the first day of school and trying to get all the appointments scheduled that need to be done for that. I am so looking forward to the week of vacation that I have planned!
      ·         Charity -  The first week of August I had my Grand Niece and Nephew visiting for a week.  This week I am frantically preparing for the upcoming Semester.  I start an internship at a High School as another step towards becoming a Biology Teacher.

          Mindy
          Life right now is a bit redundant right now. Just working (a lot of hours), being a mom, housework and crafting. Then I sleep and repeat the next day! Oldest son is in summer school so my days start at 6 am. Preparing for the kids to go back to school this fall. Youngest son will be starting orchestra. 
          Charity
          Life, is crazy as always for me, I have family visiting upcoming.  The Fall Semester starts in mid-August so I have to prepare for that.  I also have a Content test to stop procrastinating about and take.
