Remember the days

I remember the days when I worked on of my very first jobs. It was at a little pharmacy in the town that I grew up in. The place was tiny but I loved the job. I really wish that it never went out of business but they were really behind in the times and that is why they went under. They never had anything close to the POS systems they have today. Everything there was done by hand. The inventory was priced by hand and kept track of by hand. I always wonder if they would have updated maybe they would still be in business. With these systems you can keep track much better of what you have in the store and where it is going. You never know if it was stolen or if you sold the products. There are not to many mom and pop places left and if they are still there for sure they have a POS system by now.

Saving Money

It never used to be this way but now that our family has grown to be a family of five and I still would like to have just one more I always try to save money. I don't know why I did not start to clip coupons when we did not have any kids. I am sure that if I would have we would have had a whole lot more money back then.
Now that I clip coupons I am able to buy more things at places that I shop to save money. For my kids I always shop at drugstore.com for all of their medical needs. It makes it easier that I do not have to drag them all to the store. They have great online coupons including free shipping. So it actually saves me more money because I don't have to pay for the gas to go to the regular store. They have many other stores and coupons online also, check them out. Start saving now and you will be amazed at how much more you can buy.

Get Traffic

As a blogger I am always wanting to gain traffic to my sites. I want to have the most people visit my sites as possible. I want to be heard. Not that I care if people like my blogs or not but I would like to be a writer that people enjoy coming to, why not. So how do you get yourself out there. Well a directory listing might just be your answer. You can see and keep track of your listing to see what your stats are and who is visiting your websites. If your site is your business it might just help you to gain tons of new customers. You should check it out it might just be useful to your business.

Free Issue

On one of my favorite websites I noticed that they are always using coupons from this magazine. I was then curious to see how great this magazine really is, but I did not want to pay for it. It was a little pricey and I don't want to get it if I know I will not like it. So I found that they are giving away a free issue. Here is the link if you are interested.

Patio Set

One thing that Ken and I really enjoy is sitting outside. I love so sit outside when it is really nice outside and when the sun is setting. Since we have lived in this house we have had a picnic table and a regular table for the outside but I still have yet to get a really nice patio furniture set. I want one that is big enough for my family to sit at but that does not require much maintenance. I really don't have the time to rush in the cushions when it rains nor do I have the memory to do so. I really like their lounge chairs. They don't have any cushions so I don't have to worry about them getting wet and soggy. It would also be a nice chair to relax in on a bright and sunny day. I might have to save up for them for next summer.

Personal Moisturizer

Well on my hunting for new free samples of different products I came across this free sample of a personal moisturizer. I really have never tried using one of these before but I will gladly accept the free sample. So if you also would like a sample of this product then I have posted the link for you below.

Alway wanted to go


You know I have this friend that always goes on a Caribbean cruise every single year. She has been doing this since I have was in high school. I was always asked if I wanted to go with her but my parents would never let me go. I know they were worried but I always wanted to give it a try.

Well now that I am an adult I am very eager to go on a cruise that I get to choose the destination. I have always wanted to check out St Maarten. I have heard so many great things about it. I would actually love to go for Ken and I's tenth wedding anniversary. Oh how nice it would be to take a trip and to leave our three kids at home with grandpa and grandma. I had a coworker before that said it was the most beautiful place to go. It had tons of tourist attractions and shopping, as well as the beautiful blue waters. Oh I wish I could go right now. I could really use a vacation.

Body Scrub

When ever I take a shower I am always using a body scrub. I really think that it makes your skin softer and makes it look a lot better. I like the way it feels when I get out that I have exfoliated my skin. They are giving away a free sample of a product form St Ives right now. Here is the link if you are interested.

Be Prepaired

One thing that I always like to do is to prepare for the future. I do not like to wait until something happens in order to get motivated to take some action. It is easier to know what you are going to do ahead of time rather than waiting for the last minute when things can be stressful. I know Ken feels the same way that is why both of us have a life insurance policy. We checked out term life insurance rates online and decided that it would be a very good idea since we have three young kid to also look after if something bad should happen to one of us. We would not want to be in a bad position. So after reviewing what they had to offer we both thought it would be a great idea so we went ahead started researching it a little further after all going with the wrong agent could be costly. Check it out before you make a choice.

Free Forzen treat

Here is the link. Sign up fast because I am sure they will go fast since the summer heat will be here any time.
