I was checking my email today and received an email from a newsletter I subscribed to (learnvest.com about budgeting and saving money) with an interesting article topic about scoring free food from dumpster diving. I love stuff like that so I read it. Boy this article is an eye opener. I didn't realize non-homeless people did this, but it sure makes sense. If you didn't read the article (but you should since I suck at paraphrasing), I'll try to explain it. It talks about people who Dumpster Dive for foo...
The boys and I had a great Halloween. We went Trick-or-Treating around the neighborhood and scored some good candy. One house we went to, an older gentleman gave the kids each a lightsaber toy that makes sounds! Another house we went to gave both my kids metal skull rings ( heavy enough metal that clunked when dropped). I love it when people are creative with their treats. I make it a point to give kids a couple of candies and maybe even a small toy. No "one candy" rule for me.... This year we put the tr...
It's been ages since my last post. I'm not sure why I stopped blogging, but I'm back! A whole lotta stuff has happened since last time I posted: My youngest just turned 3, I enrolled in school again, we are renting to own a mobile home, and in about a month I will be turning the BIG 3-0!!! I have been getting back into crafting again, couponing, and cooking (a lotta new stuff!). I suppose a bunch of my posts will consist of that. Maybe in the future I will revamp my blog to include pages of recipe posts ...
My 16 mo old tripped this morning and fell straight into a plastic crate we had in the dining room (in the process of unpacking from a recent move). Well, his tiny face collided with the corner of the crate and it immediately starting gushing blood and swelling. Now he has a huge gash on the inside of his mouth and a small one outside on his lip. I am afraid that he might need antibiotics or something....I've never dealt with anything as big as this (small bit/fat lips in the past).
So, a ton of holidays have passed since I was last on (including the recent Valentines Day....happy 3rd Anniversary to me!!! lol). I have been dealing with 2 residential moves, quitting college (for various reasons), potty training, and many family crisis these past few months. Pwhew! If that isn't enough, I am still trying to find out the right way to make money online AND start my online (some offline) jewelry business. We are still in need of financial stability and I would really like to make money ...
(photo from istockphoto)First off, I am having a really hard time with trying to get (and keep) my house clean. My back is in so much excruciating pain that it's hard to pick up after the kids AND my husband....and being alone during the day, it's also hard to take the garbage out to the dumpster (hubby is kinda lazy and is very reluctant to help clean). I wish I could either wave a magic wand and magically the house will look immaculate OR I win a million dollars and I can not only buy a REAL HOUSE (no ...
I've seen this ad on tv, online, and now again through UPromise.com (searching for something in particular to get cash back on). I am amazed completely by the videos they show on their landing page. It shows kids as small as 7 months (or smaller, I'm not sure) recognizing words on flash cards, then indicating what it is. I saw a baby on there understand what P-A-N-T-S meant...she had grabbed her pants when showed the flash card with the word (and only the word) on it!!! Your Baby Can Read is a program th...
