Harms Family News

Hello all, As promised, here are the places I write for. I have been asked where I landed my curriculum writing job. FreelanceWriting is a site that has a job board named Online Writing Jobs . It was in the higher paid section that I found my job with the curriculum. This job board has one problem, though. They have many, many people who want to pay $1 for a 500 word or more article. When I first began freelancing, I took these jobs, because I thought this was all there is out there. However, I am learning that there are many more places out there who are willing to pay if your work is quality. That being said, I do check their job board daily, as this is where I found the clients I am the most happy with, with one exception. A new site I have just found is Deb NG's site. She goes through CraigsList and many, many other job boards and picks good, high paying jobs. However, she has many followers, so I have as yet to land a job through her site. I am trying to polish my cover lett...

I love my chiropractor ! Let me tell you a little story! Right before we left for Missouri, Natalie took a tumble off the couch. She was scared but fine. When we were there, I fell down the stairs while holding her. Again, she was scared, but intact. I did end up quite bruised, but I was able to get in to the chiropractor I used to use, so I was OK. When we got home, Natalie was quite fussy for several days. She has a cold, so I chalked it up to that. For those of you who do not know my daugther, Natalie is almost never fussy. On Friday, she gave her grandma Harms a terrible time. I was not sure what was wrong, so I got a pediatrician appointment to check for an ear infection. Nope. Ears were clean. So I decided it was teeth. After her nap, she would not stop crying. She was screaming and screaming and absolutely miserable. I called the chiropractor. They got me in. She cried the entire way there (yes, it is an hour drive - hey, he's good!). She cried while we were there, and she c...

Here is a picture of Natalie with one of her Great Grandmas. We are in Missouri enjoying some time with my parents and my dad's parents.

Here is Natalie doing her favorite activity - Reading! I think it is one of the cutest things she does, and I finally snapped some pictures of it! Enjoy!

So, Natalie still has hives. I cannot figure out what is causing them. No, we have not changed laundry soap. No, she has not eaten anything new, since Saturday , and No, I have not put any new lotions or creams on her. The benedryl is taking care of it, I just wish I knew what was causing it! Help Please!

Who's That Baby in the Mirror? I'm Messy, but I'm Cute! Hi Everyone! I finally set up a blog! Yes, I had a different one, but this one I intend to keep up with! With Natalie nearing her first birthday, it is high time I keep friends and family updated with her shenanigans! She is a handful, but we love her! OK, so what's new? Well, Natters has two teeth! And, yesterday she broke out in hives! That was fun! She is a jabbermouth, we only wish we knew what she was saying! She is crawling and starting to stand while holding on to things. Her favorite activity is "reading." I know that sounds strange, but this child will sit on the floor with a book for a half of an hour, turning the pages, and not making a sound. It is music to this teacher's heart! I cannot believe that a love for books is showing already! Books are by far her favorite toy! My writing is going exceptionally well! I am working hard on a fourth grade history curriculum, that is keeping me busy...
