Living and Loving with Lacey

School has been a little busy plus the sudden onset of having all three little loves at home full-time (more on that fun in a future blog post), writing here has taken a backseat. :( I haven't quit any writing, in fact just the opposite! I have been super busy with writing for my college classes which includes in my creative writing English class. It has been a lot of fun actually and has really made me dive deeper into some topics that I normally wouldn't have. So, I thought I'd post one of my submitted papers here in the blog (to give it some action) and to post some of my research on this (in my opinion) important topic: why Moapa Valley needs an actual walking path throughout the town. Now, before you get super uptight and upset, yes I did NOT go into financial costs of this type of endeavor. I merely looked at safety and the statistics along with it. I actually got a B on

I have been getting A LOT of calls/texts/messages on how in the heck to write a buyer letter? This question is a great one and I am so happy to help. HOWEVER (Here is the But), I will NOT write it for your child. I won't write it for my own son. I won't. I won't. I won't. Stop flipping asking.  I will  show you where I found some great resources,  the type of information to include (and what to NOT include),  and who to send to. Since you are still reading, let's go over these points together.  Here are some great resources. So first and foremost, if you are trying to find a buyer for the Clark County Junior Livestock Show that occurs here in Logandale, Nevada during the Clark County Fair. Then the best place you'd want to start is their website .

"At the start of 2019, 7 million U.S. jobs remained unfilled, and American employers consistently cite trouble finding qualified workers. While some liberals insist a "skills gap" doesn't exist, all evidence points to the contrary. These gaps are moreover made worse by a higher education system that ill-equips graduates for the workforce" (Craig, 2019). So what? What does that mean? That means that we as: parents, teachers, volunteers, etc. Need to work together to prepare our future employees. There. I said. It. So is this me saying that we all need to go back to college to spend 4 (or 12 in my case) years to become teachers in CTE (Career & Technical Education)? Guess what? NOPE! No. Nada. Negative. Nix and Nay! What?!? Yes, that is correct. Don't believe me? Let me tell you about a secret that until recently, was not even known. Or at least I sure as heck didn't know about it. Well, I can't say I didn't know about it, I just didn&#
