Living with a Deer Hunter isn't easy. I should know, I'm married to a one. You have to deal with many things; the hunting clothes, the smell, the mess, the grouchy-husband-because-he-is-so-tired-from-waking-up-at-2AM-to-be-up-on-the-tree-at- 5-6AM, and of course the dead deer in your yard. The best part about that is the meat. We have meat to last us all winter, which is good for our pockets too. I have to tell you though, hunting clothes and the products that go along with hunting are … [Read more...]
A weird thing happened to me
December 5, 2008 by 7 Comments
I received a package last night from Snapfish, supposedly. Their name and their address was on the right top of the box. At first, I thought it was another book hubby bought from Ebay and the person reused the Snapfish box but that wasn't the case. Anyway, I opened the package and inside was a handwritten note, a Snapfish receipt with my information on it and a copy of the photobook I had made a few weeks ago. I asked myself, did I order another photobook without realizing it? I know I … [Read more...]

I don't have to tell you that we are facing some tough economical times in the months and years ahead. With a worldwide economic recession an arms width away, shopping for holiday gifts is a frightening prospect for many parents.

Parents - do your research just as you would for a bigger-ticket item like a washer/dryer or HD TV. … [Read more...]

For those of you that don't know about Cyber Monday, well, it's alot like Black Friday. The best part is you don't have to leave your house. Now that's what I call Black Friday shopping!! Almost every online store is having a great sale that is only valid for today. Walmart is having a pretty good Cyber Monday sale too. I just bought my 3 year old daughter a Leapster 2 handheld learning game for $69.99 and they included 2 games that are valued at $25 each. That is a $50 savings. They … [Read more...]
I found a TRUE gem.

I don't know about you but I did not go shopping this weekend because I didn't need any high ticket items, thank goodness. So, let's change things up a bit. Did you know that I don't like the taste of water? I know it sounds crazy, especially when all 3 of my kids absolutely LOVE water. It's just too plain for me. I need "something" in my water like iced tea mix or even grape Kool-Aid; now that is yummy. Also, if it's not filtered, I can taste the impurities......really, I can. I mean … [Read more...]

You see, I told you I would be comotose. I am officially FULL OF FOOD! I am so stuffed, I feel like a turkey. There's still dessert to be eaten but when I think of dessert, I want to puke.

The way it looks right right now, that could be breakfast. There's nothing wrong with eating pumpkin pie for breakfast, right? ;) Anyway, enough about the … [Read more...]

I received this email a few days ago and thought it would be nice to share such a warmhearted story being that Thanksgiving is just a few days away. I hope you enjoy. My name is Rose.. The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned and found a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire … [Read more...]
