5th day of spring and a snow shovel!

car blogFirst of all I need to say I am sorry to the Midwest…it is my fault it keeps snowing.

We keep getting teased with nice weather every other week or so. Last week I was able to watch the kids play outside with sidewalk chalk, on the trampoline, and on their bikes. I vacuumed out the car the day before yesterday and decided that it was time the shovel be put away off the front porch and into the garage. Mind you, this will mark time #3 I decided to put the shovel away for the year. Continue Reading →

Terrified to have a play date!

Having kids is great and I love it! However there is one thing that I don’t love, well actually fear a little bit…well actually more then one thing:

* Play dates

* Sleep overs

* Babysitting others parents kids

This may sound rather “crappy” of me and negative but there are good reasons for this fear. Continue Reading →

Clipping MPerks Coupons Review

UntitledI have never been an extreme couponer as it is very likely that the majority of those coupons are not very healthy. However, I still look for the deals and cheaper items when I am at the store. There are some brands that I absolutely will not buy generic of, but for the most part I will buy the less expensive product.

I know the store cards are a joke as anyone can have one, but they are a great store “ploy” to make you think like you are saving some money. I guess some people don’t get the cards so they do pay more, but if there is a way to save a few $$$ I sign up for the card…why not?

So the local Meijer store has started their M-Perks program. This is how they do their store coupons. Meaning you have to go on-line and actually clip the coupons you want. This sounds like a good idea, at first, but here is why I have not been so successful with using the M-Perks program. Continue Reading →

WTFlushot! Take your shot and stick it!

UntitledSo how many of my reader’s have had the flu shot this season? They always say, every year…”the flu is going to be the worst ever, so make sure you and your family gets the flu shot.”

I have been an avid, no shot kind of girl for years. Every time I get the shot, the shot makes me sick for longer then the flu would. Last one about 5-years ago, I was down for 8-days.

Well this flu shot was not up to par for my kids… Continue Reading →

WTFriday…Yelling at kids to fight?!!

UntitledI have recently dropped my FitWorks gym membership and started doing my workouts at the local YMCA. Not that I did not like FitWorks, it just made more sense since the kiddos are starting to do a lot of sports at the Y. They offer discounts for members so in the long run it is cheaper.

OK so I took the kids into the mat room after my workout a couple weeks ago. It is a fun room full of all different sizes and types of mats for the kids to build things, jump in, or whatever. The whole floor is covered with a mat too so they can have a lot of fun and not get too hurt, if they get hurt at all. Continue Reading →

Facebook or die? NOT I!!

MS Word Clipart

MS Word Clipart

When Facebook came out I honestly did not understand the reason for it but as I got into it I learned to like the features. The biggest thing was that I was able to reconnect with tons of people in my life, especially form the past. I grew up in Canada and Utah until 2001 so it really got me connected with a lot of old friends and long distance family. However, in the past few years I have come to a point of not loving it anymore. I think that people depend on it too much. It is rather frustrating, as for some, it is the only way they communicate and that is a “downer” for me. Continue Reading →

Do you want it in the beginning or not at all?

MS Word Clipart

MEN…If you are not going to keep it up, then don’t do it, in the beginning. What am I talking about? Many things actually.Let me step back for a minute. I got into this “talk” with my husband this past week. What inspired the conversation was the phone call he gave me earlier this week and he said to me…”do you want me to put gas in the cat before I come home, the car needs it?” OK so let me set the stage. It is 29 degrees outside and on the day he called we had also had 4 inches of snow. “DUH!” Yes put gas in the damn car, your in it now fill it! I don’t know how many times, since we have been married he has brought the stupid car home without gas in it, and I mean GAS LIGHT ON! OK so here is my plea to all married AND single men out there… Continue Reading →
