Here comes the Bride

Oh I love weddings. I love going to them and I loved to plan and have my very own wedding. It was so much fun. I love to watch a new couple pledge to be together forever. I always hope the best for them since I know that marriage is not what it used to be anymore. My friend that is getting married next month has been with her future husband for a while. They are really happy. She is not worrying about fitting into her dress because he has gained a little weight since she bought it. I was telling her maybe she should try a weight loss supplement to take with her meals. That way she does not have to try and starve herself for her very important day. A wedding day has so much stress involved with getting all the plans perfect I don't want her to also have to worry about her weight. I know she will fit into her dress and look just beautiful for her new husband.

Easy way Out

Did you ever take the easy way out of something? Well as humans I am pretty much sure that we all have done it at lease once in our life. I know what when Ken and I first started to move out on our own it was easy for us to just go with insurance companies that we know our parents went with. It might be easies for us but that does not mean it would be in our best interest. I started to look at different car insurance quotes right away. I wanted to get the best price and the best coverage. I looked around and called many different place. Eventually I found the one that we are still with today. Don't get me wrong I still call every once in a while to make sure I am still getting the best coverage at the best price possible. It is funny actually because now my parents have also switched to get the price we are paying because we have better coverage for less money. It pays to shop around.

Have a Cold?

Have you ever tried cold eeze? I have never because I notice that they are pretty expensive. I have heard however that they work really well if you have a cold. I am really interested in trying this sample. That's why when I seen it I signed up very fast. You never know how long these samples last online so if you do it first thing you have a better chance. It is cold season since the weather is changing. Here is a sample for you.

Pimples

Last week it was beginning to be my time of month. Usually when that happens I get one small pimple on my face. However that was not the case this month. I was afraid that I was going to get teenage acne or something. It seemed like I had one pimple after another. As a matter of fact I still have a pimple on my face that seems to be lingering around. I started to use different acne treatments because I really hate how I look with a huge red spot on my face. I usually do not like to do my makeup or even get dressed up. I guess I could just hide in the bed room and that would be fine with me. I sure hope after this pimple goes away that will be the end of them for a while.

Had the Baby

Well my cousin finally had her baby the other day. She and I now both have three wonderful kids. I know that she would like to have another on in the future but I am hoping that she will wait until she gets everything together first. I talked to her on the phone the other day and she was sounding a little depressed. I was beginning to worry about her because I know sometimes that comes with having a baby. I know that I could have used a depression treatment after I had Ben. I was so overwhelmed and I did not know what to do with him. I wish our apartment was bigger so that my mom could have stayed with us for a while to help out. Having your first baby can be pretty scary that is for sure. I don't think that I have felt depressed with the other kids. I figure it is because I know more of what to do with them. Hopefully soon my cousin will feel a little better.

Laundry Soap

Well there is nothing better that finding a free sample of laundry soap on your cabinet when you ran out of soap. Well there is nothing better to me anyways. I have to say sometimes with Ken and I both doing laundry he sometimes forgets to tell me that we have run out of soap. Its fine I have no problem with it because I am just thankful that he is helping me get it all done. I just need a sample laying around every once in a while. Here Is a wisk sample for you if you feel the same way.

What's Your Story

What's your story? Do you have a really big weight loss story that you would like to share? Well if you do I think you should write about it. I was not to sure when I started blogging but if you do also then maybe you can inspire someone else to loose the weight just like you did. Maybe you will even inspire me to do it. I like reading people that have success stories with loosing weight the old fashioned way. It seems like now days people are just having weight loss surgery or taking diet pills to help maintain their weight. I am personally scared of all of the above. I don't believe in using all these treatments. I know I could loose more with a little exercise and better eating habits. We really do not eat that bad around here we just eat to late in the evening. That I know is really bad. If you have a store please share it with me. I would love to read it.

Halloween

Well last year I have to say I was not feeling the best since I had the flu. I did however dress up for Halloween because I promised Ken that I would since I knew he really wanted to as well. I have no idea what I am going to wear this year. I know we always try to buy costumes when they go on clearance. That way we can save money. I personally think that it is silly to spend a ton of money on an outfit that will be only used for a few short hours on one day of the year. I would much rather drop the big bucks on a cute outfit they will wear many times throughout the winter. Either way I have no idea what the kids are going to be this year. I suppose once we dig out the Halloween stuff we will have a better idea on what we bought from last years clearance sale.

Free Makeup

Well I really do not know about you but personally I like to try my makeup before I buy it. It is one of those things that if pretty expensive and if I do not like it I am pretty much stuck with it forever. I will then just throw it away. That's why I like samples. And trust me if I like the sample 9 times out of 10 I will then purchase the product. Here is a sample of Olay if you have not tried it before.

Keeping warm

Well if you have not noticed winter is just around the corner. I can tell when I have the windows open in our bedroom at night that it is getting colder and colder by the day. I have been telling Ken for a while now that if we get everyone in the house their own electric blanket we might be able to save on heating costs in the night by turning down the temperature in the house. I personally like to sleep int the cold anyways but sometimes I worry that it gets to cold for the kids. Last year I was looking into getting them a twin size one for each of their beds. We did not do it but I think this year I might see if it can save us some money on our heating costs.

Help with Benefits

I know that so many people in the world are disabled. It is really sad to see people that are actually homeless because they need to get different medicare supplement plans and just do not know or think that they can not afford to do it. I did not really know much about it until I started to research it a little more. I did not know that there are companies that help you and do not get paid until you are approved to receive your benefits. That means that there is no up front cost so you do not have to worry about affording the help to get the benefits. It sure does provide a lot of relief to those that are already struggling with no work and no pay.

Third time Around

Well since Aidan is the third baby we have had our baby things have been used a lot. We have a stroller that we use for outside because it is so dirty. We do not even want to take it anywhere because we would be really embarrassed to be seen with it. The kids have used it playing and it is full of sand and mud beyond belief. When we found out Aidan was on the way we were looking at phil and teds explorer stroller. I wanted something that was more modern and easier to push around than the regular stroller we used with Ben and Maddie. This stroller seemed like the perfect fit. I liked that it has a front swivel wheel and that it comes in other colors. It is actually a pretty good deal if you buy it online. I have seen them for much more at the store.

Flash Drive

I really have not a clue what to get Ken for his birthday. I know he likes tools but since we got a house he has bought more tools and I never know what tools he already has and what tools he still needs to get. I know that he keeps this flash drive on his key chain that hold a lot of information on things that he needs. He always seems to forget things when we are out so he keeps all his notes about things like the car stuff right on this small flash drive. I know that if I could actually get a hold of it there just might be something that he wants for his birthday on it. However I do not really know how I could do it without him having a clue as to what I am doing.
He also has it full of his school information as well so I would need it long enough to sift through some files. I loved buying him tools when I knew what he had and what he needed. He loves getting new tools as gifts but now that he has so many and he was given so many from his dad I seemed to have lost track. I don't know much about them so I guess I will still keep thinking. I only have a few days left. I hope I think of something.

Just in Case

I have to say I am a 100% just in case type of girl. I always like to be prepared for the future. I do thins with just about everything I do. That is why when we go on even a small trip I am way over packing. I always think what if something happens and I need something for the kids. I like to have just about everything that I might need handy in case I can not get it at a store nearby. You just never know what will happen. You can not prepare for certain events in your life. And since one event can change your whole life I want to be prepared for it. That's why I was looking at http://www.broadviewsecurity.com/ just the other day. I waned to be prepared in case we need to be. I don't want to wait until someone has broken into our house before we get home security system. That would be silly and way to risky for me. I need someone like the Home Security Team to give me the security that I need to be able to be gone from our house on a long vacation and not worry that things will be the same as I left them when I return. There are some things in life that you are just not able to replace and I happen to have some of them in my home.
With everything I do before I jump into things I checked with consumer reports. I like to make sure they are recommended by other customers that have used their service before. No sense in having a company that is disliked by other as I am sure I will also not be as happy. I like to make sure places have a good rating and are well liked. I like customers service to be friendly not crabby. I also like them to speak English so that I can understand. Plus have the same benefits of the more expensive companies on the market. With their rating I am sure I will be both protected and happy because I am saving some money.

Perfect

I have to say I don't think that we are good pet parents. I know some friends that are always bringing their dogs everywhere. They actually treat their dogs as if they are children. They make sure they have the top of the line stuff and they are always buying them dog treats. They always tell me that they get them from Costco and they even have coupons in their own store coupon book making the treats even cheaper. They are there now and only are available until September the 12th. These treats are just perfect for dogs because they are all natural and are made with real chicken. My dog actually loves chicken I just am always afraid to give it to him in case there is a bone. I know dogs can not have chicken bones. These treats are made in the United States and even help freshen the dogs breath. That is the main reason I was looking into them. Bailey has some pretty smelly breath and I would like something to make it better. I personally like to break the big treats into smaller ones to make them last longer. Check them out for your favorite pet.
