Hydroxycut

When I think of weight loss products the very first one that comes to my mind is hydroxycut. I think it has something to do with the fact that they are always advertising it on the television set and they they are always getting famous celebrities to endorse it for them. It seem that if they get famous people then they also get more customers to buy the product. I have however seem the hydroxycut side effects and they do not sound to good if you ask me. I personally don't like to use anything with big side effects even though I know that a lot of different pills have side effects. I think there is a better way to achieve weight loss through diet and healthy eating as well as exercise. I have a plan to try and get myself a little healthier and I hope I have the will power to stick to it.

It was an Accident

Did you know that so many people get in injury accidents every single year. I personally have been in only one this year and I am hoping to keep it that way. Accidents are no fun at all especially if you are hurt or someone else is injured in the accident. An accident where someone is hurt is often thought of as an auto accident but it can be much more. A lawyer tucson can help you get the money you deserve after an accident of any kind. They are a personal injury lawyer. It means whether you get hurt in an auto wreck or even on the job they can help you get your bills paid and money for your pain and suffering. I have never personally needed a lawyer before but I am sure it is a very popular thing when someone gets injured or has a death because of an accident. I hope an pray this does not happen to anyone in my family but you just never know.

Mothers Day

Well mothers day is right around the corner and I am looking forward to it I might add. On mothers day Ken usually always makes me breakfast in bed and I have to admit I love it so much. As a matter of fact I can not remember the last time I was not served in bed on a mothers day. Since it is also mothers day for my mom I always try to give her a nice little personal gift that she can always use and remember that I gave it to her when she uses it. I was thinking this year of a custom print mugs online with maybe the kids pictures on it. I know that she always drinks her coffee so I am sure that she would like a personal mug. I really don't know what else to get her for the special day. I sometimes get her things for her yard and I know that she really likes that as well. I will look around to find the best gift although I am sure she will like anything.

Always Calling

I really don't know why we have so many people calling all the time from different schools but we just always do all the time. Ken is always getting calls from different
accredited online university that promise him a degree in a very short time. Some of the universities we have heard of before and some of them are ones that we do not know anything about. I am not really into the online university thing but if it would help him to get his degree faster than I might be up for the challenge of finding out who they are and what they have to offer. I know that some people really like online schools over going to an actual school everyday for classes. These differentaccredited online university sites are popping up more and more and I would like to research them. I am just happy that Ken is getting his schooling done and that we will have a better future because of it. I hope he gets done soon but as long as he gets the degree that he wants that's all that important.

Patio

Well if you have not read my other blogs that you would not know that this summer Ken is working on a new patio for ourselves. I think that I am going to love it because I have always wanted to be able to get a really nice colorful set. I would also really love a modern set like the ones that zuo makes that are very different form anything I have ever seen before. I think not only would it be really comfortable but also a very nice look in our back yard. It would give Ken and I a very nice place to relax after we get the kids to bed in the evening. It is always nice to have a place for just mom and dad to relax after a nice long day with the children. They have some really nice stuff that I would love to see in our new space. I have to look it over with Ken and maybe we can pick it out together. I would love a bright color or a really dark color. I guess i have not really decided what I want yet. I am just excited to have something new in the yard.

Chocolate

I have a huge bad habit and that is eating candy. It is one of my favorite snacks. That is not really something that I am proud of but I do have to work on it. I love everything thing chocolate and I really love chocolate covered cherries and pretzels. I know that Ken is just as much as a candy eater as I am and I know that he loves the cherries covered in chocolate as well. He is one of the first people to buy them around the holidays. I personally don't really like the cheaper ones but I am all about the good chocolate. And when we are talking about good chocolate online is the place to go for good quality candy at a less expensive price. They have good price and good candy. It is a little to late to get things for the Easter baskets but we can always order some for every day enjoyment.

Coffee

Are you a huge coffee drinker? Well I to be honest have never tried a cup of coffee before in my life. I always however suck up on the free samples because I pass them to my mom who is a huge coffee drinker. Here is a free sample of coffee if your interested.

Christmas Past

Oh how I remember the gifts of Christmas past. I remember when I was a little girl I was an only child. I don't think that that made me a spoiled child because I had so many close cousins and friends. I loved the Christmas season because it was the time that I got to spend with my favorite cousins and we all got together as a family. My one uncle would always buy us all the gift of different Beads and we would all get together and make different necklaces and bracelets all night. It was always a great time. In the evening I would always go home but then come back the following day for a sleep over with them before they left to go back home. Christmas memories always make me happy around that time of year. Every year we could count on my uncle for the same gift. It was funny at the time but we also enjoyed it at the same time.

Playing Sports

One thing that Ken and I agree on is that we think the kids should play sports. We know that it is really good for them to get the exercise of running around and it is also good to teach them good sportsmanship with other kids their age. I don't want one of those poor kids that never get to do anything because their parents are to lazy to get involved with their lives. That really makes me sad to see kids getting neglected. I guess I just always like to get my kids involved in new things. I really think that they enjoy it just as much as we do and they get exercise as well as learning new things. Not once did our kids ever object to doing a new sport. If they did we would figure out why they did not like it and try to work something out. Since they are in sports we try to buy them small gifts at the end of the season. We have never done football yet but maybe next year we will get Ben signed up to try it. We will then need football gifts to get the kids at the end of the season. Just a small little something for the kids really makes them happy. Most parents get something for everyone which makes it really nice.

Protected

Every once in a while Ken comes at me with different ways to try and save a little money. The very first place he always suggests is the car insurance. He always tells me that we can go down from full coverage on the cars since we now own. I always decline the offer. I tell him that I would rather pay the small amount that we would save in case we are even in an accident. I really never looked to see how much we would save but I am not really interested in it either. I love to save money just as much as the next guy but I don't want to compromise our coverage for savings. If you are looking for a deal you can get cheap car insurance quotes right online. You can ask them what it would cost to give you the coverage you are looking to have. I personally like the full coverage just in case I should ever be at fault in an accident. You just never know and I don't want to risk it.

Back in the Day

One of my favorite jobs that I ever worked at was at a pharmacy. I loved it because I made some really good friends there and because the job was just a fun place to work. It was an old time pharmacy and we did not have the modern technologies that the stores have today. I think that the main reason the store went out of business was because there was a lot of shoplifters there because they knew that we did not really have any inventory or any security cameras. Our eyes were pretty much all the security that we had, and even sometimes that was not good enough. We had to see the person pocket the item and then wait for them to leave the store with it before we could call the police. A lot of times by then it was to late and they were gone. We did not have the modern things like a cordless barcode scanner to keep track of where our merchandise was going. I really wish the store was still open today I probably would still work there. I put in my two weeks notice because they were going out of business and I needed a job to pay for my car payment. I loved the job and I would say it was one of my favorites.

Exercise Pants

Last Christmas I remember asking my sister what she wanted for Christmas and she told me that she wanted a pair of yoga pants. I really did not know what they were because I did not know that exercise pants really had a specific name. Well it turned out that a local clothing store sold the pants that she wanted. She did not want them for exercising but she wanted them because the school that she goes to allows the kids to wear them. They have a very strict dress code so if they have something that the students are allowed to wear the kids usually always buy some. I really wanted to get her some as a gift but when I went they did not have the size that she needed. I did not know that they also sold them online or I would have had an easier time finding a gift. It took me forever to try and think of something that could be a good gift for her since I did not know about the website. I might just get her a couple pairs for her birthday since it is right around the corner.

Outside

I love to go outside. More than I love to go outside though the kids love to be out there. I have to think that it was because they were born in the summer and because of it they love the outdoors. They would be happy doing just about anything outside. My favorite thing to do out there is to sit by ourfire pit. We always do things like roast hot dogs as a family or maybe marshmallows as well. The kids love spending that time together as a family and so do we as parents. I have to say that sitting around the campfire is one of my all time favorite activities of the summer season. Ken was actually going to start chopping some wood for some upcoming fires if it would ever stop raining around here. I really wish that it would stop because we have all be wanting to go outside and do some yard work and some other outdoor activities.

Free Razor

What is better than a free item? Well if you ask me I would have to say nothing at all. I was able to score a free Gillette proglide razor on the internet just by liking them on facebook. I guess you can also get a free sample by watching a small youtube video. It seems like a really nice razor. I have not gotten mine yet but I am looking forward to it. Here is the link if your interested in grabbing one.

On the Road

Have you ever been on the road and had a problem with your car? Well that has happened to us one time when we had one of our other cars. As a matter of fact we were on our way home form a long trip and my parents were a few miles away from us so it was nice. We just called my dad and he fixed the problem with the car. That time we ended up being pretty lucky. That is not always the case. Since I always go places by myself with the kids I thought that joining a roadside assistance club would be a really good idea. It would put my mind at ease when I was traveling alone with the kids. I would know that we would always be protected if we should come across car problems. They would help you out with your car and then I would not have to worry about being some place stranded with the kids. It makes me feel better knowing I have a back up plan. I am all about back up plans now that I am a mom.

A New Job

To be honest I can not even remember the last time I filled out an application. Right now I am a stay at home mom and there is now job that I would rather have in my life. I love being home with the kids all the time. Don't get me wrong sometimes it is a lot of work and sometimes I have a crabby attitude but for the most part we have pretty good days. I would not want a job right now even if I was offered one with really good pay. Did you happen to see all the different columbus jobs that they are looking to fulfil? It seems like the job market is really booming around that area. I don't thing that we are doing so well where I live but hopefully soon it will pick up again. It is so sad that some people are still looking for work. I really hope that everyone that needs a job will soon find the relief they have been needing.
