Hello Hello

The other day I went shopping with my mom and my sister. We went to a few stores and when I was shopping I remembered Ken telling me that he needed some new belts. Well I tried to call him numerous times but my cell phone was not getting a good signal. I really could have used a wireless cell booster. I would connect with him and then my phone would drop the call. I was so upset because all I needed to know was what size his old belt was so I could buy a new one. Well I got so frustrated with my phone I just gave up all together. I finally got a hold of him when I went outside. I guess I will just have to pick up a new belt another day.

Working Out

I am kind of excited that Ken and I have decided that we need to exercise. It was a part of our day until last year when we went on vacation. We used to do it downstairs when the kids went to bed. Yesterday we decided to start it again. We have decided that we really need to push each other because right now we are both very weak in the exercise department. I did not know that there was a pre workout supplement that gave you more energy and helped you burn more calories. I might have to look into this because at the end of the day I'm already tired and could use all the energy that I can get. I am sure Ken would be interested in trying it as well. Maybe it will give us the extra push we need.

Investing

How do you choose to invest? Well I have to say we really do not have a special way of investing. I know that some use the collecting of different coins or maybe even a gold bar. We are not really collectors of these things we just choose to have a regular old savings account. I know that collecting thing really takes money and most of all knowledge of what your investing in as well. I don't know much about investing but I would really like to lean more about it. I will have to research it to learn more before we go to invest lots of money into it. I wonder if any of my family members do this kind of investing. I will have to see if they have any tips.

Uniforms

Did you ever have a job where you had to wear a uniform? I have actually had a few jobs where I needed to wear one but most of the time it was just a shirt that I needed to wear that was of the companies logo. I can not say that I ever had a job that required a specific shirt and a pant as well. I don't know that I would like to wear a uniform. I am not really liking the washing that goes along with it. It seems like they would only give you a few and you would always be doing the wash.
When it comes to nursing scrubs the market is so open. You can pretty much wear whatever you want. When you are in the medical field you can wear scrub tops that are very vibrant and colorful as well as ones that are action packed. They have so many these days with different designs to suite everyone's taste in a uniform. That way you can still be fashionable and wear a uniform at the same time. I think it is better when you have your own unique style when you choose your scrubs.

Facebook

Did you ever realize how many different free samples and free products that you can get on facebook. I have to say just about every single week I an getting a coupon for a free product just because I "liked" them on facebook. That is my reader tip of the day. Get connected on facebook and sign up for different blog sites that alert you when free samples and products are given away. You really can get a lot of free stuff and if you get your coupon you can always take your like away later if you really don't like them.

An obvious pair of motorcycle boots

Guest post written by Emma Eller
I really do love shoes. They're my favorite accessory and way to make a statement, so I use that opportunity to do that with them to its fullest. I mean, I might as well take advantage of that!
So when I decided that I wanted a pair of motorcycle boots, I went online to look at some real ones that I made to wear when riding a motorcycle. When I was browsing through some pictures of those boots and imagined myself wearing them, I came across the site SatelliteStarInternet.com. I read through it a little bit and then switched over my home internet service to them.
The pair of motorcycle boots that I ordered have these swinging chains that hang off the back of them and just look super rugged, which is exactly what I wanted. Because they're so tough looking though, I have to be kind of careful about what I wear with them so that it doesn't look like I'm wearing them with a costume. But they look really great with plain old skinny jeans and even leggings and dresses.

A Beautiful Day


I don't know if any of you noticed that this past Friday happened to be a beautiful day here in Illinois. Well it was for our part of the state anyways. We did not do anything special but we did get to play outside after school. The kids and I played for a few hours as a matter of fact. When Ken came home he also joined us in playing outside. We played catch with all three kids and they actually got to ride their bikes a little as well. Aidan rode a small bike for the first time and he just loved it. He really did not know how to pedal the bike yet but he just pushed it around with his feet. It was still a little muddy from all the snow melting so I kept the kids in their rain boots so that we could just rinse them off when we went inside.

When Ken was home he was walking me around the yard telling me the projects that he wanted to start this year. I know that he wants to seal the driveway and we would also like to get the garage painted as well. Then he started telling me that he would really like to give the kids a larger play area. We currently have a small slide and a sand box as well. I would not mind getting rid of the sand box and checking out larger wooden swing sets to replace it. It would keep the kids more entertained and cut down on the mess that sand brings. I really like the one pictured above. I know the kids would love the club house up top and the one on the bottom. Madison absolutely loves to swing so it would be right up her alley.
One thing is for sure and thats that our whole family is looking forward to spring. We really want to make a lot of home improvements this year on the outside of our home. It would be nice to have a big play area for the three kids to enjoy themselves while we are getting other jobs done.

New Glasses

I have been blessed with good eyes I guess. In my family every single person has glasses. They might not wear them all the time but they are suppose to wear them. I don't know how I do not need to wear them but I am pretty thankful because cheap eyeglasses are pretty hard to find these days. Ken does not get new glasses like he should but I can not do everything for him. I already have to make all his appointments for him in order for him to go to the doctor or the dentist. It seems like I always tell him he should see the eye doctor again but he never wants to so I just leave it alone. I don't want to be the hounding wife so I let things go sometimes. I am just hoping that the kids will not need glasses but if it happens it happens. You never know what the future will bring.
