Me and My Family

Welcome to my page! I am Izzy, the Minti Community Administrator. If you have any questions and concerns, Minti mail me and I will gladly help you out.

I'm a 31-year old stay-at-home mom and I've been married for almost 11 years to a my soul mate, MonkeyDad. Our son is Curious George, born March 2005. He is a very strong-willed, independent, highly intense little soul. On June 2007, we added 2 more to our small family. Thing 1 & Thing 2 are identical twins, born 6 1/2 weeks early. The pregnancy was a challenge, with its ups and downs, but in the got 2 healthy beautiful girls in the end. We are now a family of 5, and everyday is exhausting, but we are loving it.

I have a degree in Psychology and someday plan on expanding my education to either stay in the field of Psychology or Education , perhaps when the kiddies are a little older.

critters, critters everywhere!

Comment Published at 20:5520:5510 comments10 comments32 Visits32 VisitsReport

My 4 year old son is into critters lately, and being here at his Nana's and Papaw's there seems to be an endless supply. It's exciting for him, not so much for me. I am freaking out, but I am keeping it in check. I think so, anyway.

Here is Punky, the goldfish Curious George won at a Festival back in May.  I guess CG named in Punky because he looks like a punk with the black spot on the top of it's head, much like a mohawk? We'll never know. Punky has been so at home in his little tank he even plays with Curious George. Though he doesn't seem to be performing very well on this video.

We also now have a Grey tree frog. We've had one for several weeks and now we have a second one. We've been catching fireflies (something CG demands now every every evening!) tonight, when CG found it. Now Cricket (because he eats crickets) has a friend, Hopper. Curious George has a nack for naming his pets. lol

 

Here is Cricket hunting his cricket meal.

SPAM attack!

Comment Published at 05:0805:0811 comments11 comments44 Visits44 VisitsReport

Can you smell it? We're under SPAM attack!

There is a minti mail spam about weight loss and I see that some of you have been reporting them. Thanks! I've banned the accounts and working on deleting the accounts but phew, there are a lot of them! Feel free to report them if you see that the member still has not been deleted.

FYI - as I have been deleting the SPAM accounts, I've  chosen the option to remove the SPAM emails from everyone's Minti mail box. This means that you won't see the Minti mail here on Minti, but you may see the email in your personal email box (if you've set up your account to have a copy of your Minti mails in your personal email). THE SPAMMERS HAVE NO ACCESS TO YOUR PERSONAL EMAIL.

Thanks!
Izzy

Minti Mother's Day Competition 2009 - win moolah!

Comment Published at 19:1219:1218 comments18 comments341 Visits341 VisitsReport

Here are the rules for this competition:

1. Write great articles between now and at the end of Mother's day (May 10, 2009).  The articles do not need to be Mother's Day related, but they do need to be parenting related (See RachelCook's Minti's Editorial Guidelines advice).

2.The articles must recieve at least 10 votes to be considered.
 
(Should there be multiple articles that have the same score, the article with the most votes will win. If the articles have the same scores and the same amount of votes, then the Minti Team will have to chose the winners.)

3. The top 3 rated articles win m$10,000!!!!

4. Write multiple articles to boost your chance of winning.

5. Articles must adhere to the ToS and CoH and free of copyright issues.

Good luck!

-Minti Team
