Water costs more then a Soda?!!

MS Word Clipart

I was a the World-a-Fair a while back and I was thirsty. I have been trying not to drink soda much or at all so I decided I would go get a bottle of water. So I walked on over to the drink counter and all they had were bottles of drinks, which is fine, and I looked at the price…Water was actually .50 cents more then a soda…seriously. I looked at the guy and I said “just curious if that is a typo, is your water really more money then the soda…” Continue reading

Is it bad luck…or my own stinking fault?

MS Word Clipart

I was having a very horrible week a few weeks back and everything seemed to be “against me.”  Let me step back…it all started when I let stress take over my head and the insomnia kicked in at full force.

There was the moving stress of needing to pack, unpack and clean the old and the new place. The stress was also added when my husbands job changed. It changed for the better but it still adds stress. There was stress with me needing to get my new dance class underway and make it a success so I could get it into the Fall curriculum. There was stress over money…normal.

So what did I add to this…everything! Continue reading

Question about Adsense

I have posted in the Google Adsense Help forum but it is hard to get any answers there.  Does any of my readers know why when I get a click(s) in the adsense for feeds report my earnings stay at zero? I hope someone knows the answer because I am not able to get any answer from the Google forum. Adsense for content give me a little $ for clicks but not the feeds.

Thanks!

Had to beg for my refund…and still had to dispute.

SECOND & THIRD UPDATE BELOW TOO:

OK so my last post about blog giveaways being a bust sometimes got a lot of response and I am glad to announce that most of the time, people really do get their prizes. There are the odd times they don’t but I guess like anything in this world you win some, you lose some…literally in this case.

Here is what ignited my last post.

I won a giveaway back in February and I did not use the coupon code until months later, August to be exact. I was worried it might have expired but it hadn’t as I was able to shop and use the code and it gave me the 100% discount. I did get charged for shipping which I thought was ridiculous for a blog giveaway as that is usually not the etiquette but seeing that the business cards were a great savings and we started a new business so  I thought I would pay the $33 shipping on a lot of business cards. I checked out and approved a $33 payment for shipping and was excited to finally get my business cards. But… Continue reading

Is the Bbbidi Bbbidi Butique worth the money?

I have wanted to give my daughter the princess makeover in the castle at Disney for a real long time. Now that she was turning 6-years-old we figured it would be the absolute perfect age to do it.

They call it the Bibbidi Bobbidi Butique and you can either do it in cinderella’s castle or downtown Disney in Florida. The whole package cost about $200. you can get packages for less but after visiting the Disney Store and pricing their i figured it would cost about the same to just let her pick her outfit while we were at the park. So after being nervous about whether or not it was worth the money, we made it to Disney and her birthday was the big day to surprise her with the boutique. Continue reading

Is the Disney Hopper Pass worth it?

We took our kids to Disney World in April and we bought a 5-day hopper pass for each one of us. The nice thing about Disney is that once you hit day 3 the prices for each day drop a ton. I think we paid around $7 or $8 for each additional day after day 3. The thing that I have to wonder is if the added hopper option was worth it. I think it was for the last day but a waste of money for the first 4. Continue reading

Taking the pacifier away from my 2-year-old

My son was the king of sleepless nights until he was two-and-a-half years old.

For the longest time we could not figure out what was keeping him awake and then it took 2-days and BAM sleep! The funny thing, well funny now, is what we had to do to get him to sleep. Ya it was easy, wish we would have thought of it a lot sooner!  It was Continue reading
