We work 7 days a Week here!

Usually, we work 7 days a week....about 12-16 hour days. We're super busy! THAT'S GOOD!

We decided to take a few days off "off" and spend some time with our family at the beach. The funny thing is, I still have a computer "card" that I can use whenever, where ever I feel! I'm riding down the road, emailing, twittering, contacting companies, placing company orders, running the company on the interstate!!

I LOVE being able to catch up on all of our customer service, answer customer questions, and be on top of things in what would usually be some down time.

It was so funny today, I was trying to work online, my husband is blaring his own "ipod" tunes, my kids are watching the DVD and calling out demands " drink please, crackers please, etc. etc. etc.." I'm working with customers via email and all is going on at once.

Gotta LOVE how you can combine work and family! Stressful, but it somehow all gets done. :) Multi-tasking in business and with families is a must...especially for a full-time MOM and business woman/owner!

Thanks for reading!

Come JOIN the fun on Twitter! Most afternoons, you can catch us chatting about lots of things! Monogramming, fashion, etc. etc. etc. You never know topic will pop up!

Today we talked about YOUR favorite color of nail polish! Popular Preppy Colors to match your Monogrammed Gifts found at The Palm Gifts! Here's some of our twitt-chicks favs!! OPI and Essie Nail Polish!

Verdict: OPI's "I'm Not Really a Waitress" was a favorite overall, MY Favorite is Strawberry Margarita as well as one other twitt-chick. Pompeii Purple is a must-try and will not disappoint this summer, and for a change (looks great with a tan) try the Tasmanian Devil. Don't let the color scare you! It's nice to try something different!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fresh Tomato Cinco de Mayo Salsa
Ingredients
2-3 medium sized fresh tomatoes (from 1 lb to 1 1/2 lb), stems removed, finely diced
1/2 red onion, finely diced
1 jalapeño chili pepper (stems, ribs, seeds removed), finely diced
1 serano chili pepper (stems, ribs, seeds removed), finely diced
Juice of one lime
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: oregano and or cumin to taste
Method
1 Start with chopping up 2 medium sized fresh tomatoes. Prepare the chilies. Be very careful while handling these hot peppers. If you can, avoid touching them with your hands. Use a fork to cut up the chilies over a small plate, or use a paper towel to protect your hands. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and hot water after handling and avoid touching your eyes for several hours. Set aside some of the seeds from the peppers. If the salsa isn’t hot enough, you can add a few for heat.
2 Combine all of the ingredients in a medium sized bowl. Taste. If the chilies make the salsa too hot, add some more chopped tomato. If not hot enough, carefully add a few of the seeds from the chilies, or add some ground cumin.
Let sit for an hour for the flavors to combine.
Makes approximately 3-4 cups.
