Wallets
I have to say they have thought of it all when it comes to scamming. It is pretty sad that we regular people have to buy special rfid blocking wallets now just to stop things of ours from getting cloned or stolen. It is pretty neat that we have thought to make something just to block the thieves but sad that it is even needed in the very first place. These wallets can stop people from stealing your numbers and also help with keeping your magnetic strip in tact. It makes it easy to make a small investment to save you from a big problem later on if you happen to get cloned. They have special sleeves that you can use for your cards. It does not make for a big bulky wallet just for extra security. Pretty neat if you think about it.
Save the Date
When Ken and I got married we did have to send out a few save the date cards to a couple relatives that lived out of state. It was nothing really fancy just a note to basically tell them that they needed to get their calendars ready because we were getting married. They are also nice because we had a few relatives that were flying in from far away it allowed them to get plane tickets if they didn't already know when the wedding was going to take place. My cousin had some really cute cards when they got married in Las Vegas last summer. It was a magnet that you could stick on the refrigerator. I thought it was pretty handy because I seen it every time I went into the kitchen. They have some really cute different styles for every wedding need.
Ceiling fan
When we first bought our house there was a ceiling fan in the living room. It was very ugly but at that point I did not care because I wanted to save some money rather than spend it right away replacing things that worked just fine. Well as luck would have it the very first time we turned it on was the very last time as well. It never worked again. We then realized that we should replace it and also put a light there that was more modern. We decided to go to our local hardware store and we purchased our first Hunter fans. We bought one for our living room and one for our bedroom as well. After that we just loved them. I love the way they look in the room as well as the air out put from the fan itself. It really is a nice fan for the price of what we paid. Don't get me wrong it was not the cheapest fan on the market but for the price it was well worth the investment. I would like to replace the one in Aidan's room as well sometime soon. Hopefully sometime this year.
Free kids Meal
I personally have never heard of this place before but maybe some of my readers will know a little bit more than I do about Moe's southwest grill. They are offer a limited amount of free Kid’s Meal at this link. Print one out if you have one near you.

The Hose
I remember the very first year we moved into our house. I did not know different hings needed to be done to a house to repair it for the winter season. I remember the very first year we did not disconnect the hose from the outside and over the cold winter months the line froze and was leaking in the basement. Ken had to do some plumbing work and get it fixed. It was thankfully just a very small fix but we never owned a house to think about doing things like that before winter. I also never knew what a teflon hose was used for until I read about it. I think that it would be great to have a high pressure hose around the garage. It is great for high temperatures and many other uses as well. They can be pretty expensive if you do not shop around for them. I'm sure not everyone needs a hose like this but it would be a nice gift for the person that has everything. Maybe for Ken's dad this year.

New Year
I have heard the phrase new year new you about a million and a half times over the past years. It seems as if the diet pill companies always pump their products around the new year. It is because everyone always makes new years resolutions around the start of the new year. Since it is the new year I guess it would be a nice time to start a new diet. With ephedra diet pills you just might be able to keep your new years resolution. I have not really started to make resolutions this year but rather I have made goals for myself. I tried to make them reachable goals rather than to drastic so that I can actually achieve them in the future. How about you? Did you make any new goals?
Vacation
About this time last year we were planning our vacation to Disney World. I was so excited that Ken was going to see it and the kids for the very first time. It was amazing watching their faces as they seen it. It is always a very fun and emotional time when you get to go after waiting for many years. Ken could not believe how awesome it was and was already talking about going back before we were even home. This year we have not yet started to plan our vacation as it will be a little smaller of a trip since we just got back fro Texas. I was thinking about beach rentals outer banks this year. It will be a nice relaxing vacation but still really nice to spend time with the kids and family. I am looking forward to summer and another vacation with the kids. I have to admit I live for vacations. I cant wait to begin planning it.
Free Shampoo
If you know anything about shampoo than you know that nexus is a very expensive brand. They do sell it at the local drug stores but it still is pretty expensive. I have never had a bottle of it myself as I usually buy a less expensive brand. Here is a free sample if you would like to try the really good stuff.

My Favorites - Any Day, Any Time
Thanks to Erasmo Cortez
When I first started listening to Glenn Beck on the radio about a decade ago, I think I was part of a very tiny group of fans. I enjoyed listening to the crazy humor and political commentary of this self-proclaimed rodeo clown and talk show host, but my friends had no idea who he was. A few years after I started listening, CNN Headline News gave Beck a spot in its evening television line-up. I was hooked, and I watched every night.
After his strong showing on that network, Beck was recruited to host a new show on Fox News Network. I'm sure many of his fans just switched channels and followed him to the new network. At my house, there was one problem. The new show was on at 5 p.m., when many of us are typically at work. The show repeated every night at 2 a.m., when I'm nearly always asleep.
Around this time, I signed up for satellite television at my home. Problem solved! With a DVR, anyone can record their favorite Direct TV Packages shows to watch later. You really can't beat the convenience of being able to track your shows, store them and watch them whenever you have free time. Now I can set my own schedule, so I can follow my favorite talk show host any day and any time.

Awesome Review!!!!
I am so happy to announce that a company emailed me and actually asked me to review one of their products. I am rather excited about it so I can't wait to let all my readers know about the product I receive. First let me tell you what I am going to get. As many of you know from reading my other blog sites Ken and I painted out living room last summer. I wanted to go with a neutral brown and I also wanted to take out mirror down. Well now I am still awaiting to find the perfect modern décor to go on the wall where is once hung. I want something in the middle as well as two wall sconces on the side. I am so excited to get this new piece of wall art so that I can finally finish that wall. I will let you know when I get it and what I think. Stay tuned to find out!

Watching Satellite TV And Having Fun New Year's Eve
Is there any other New Year's show than Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin Eve with Ryan Seacrest? I really couldn't tell you if there was or not. This is the only one I watch. I just love the entertainment that is always presented with this one. When you are satisfied with what you have why go looking for something else.
I always watch Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin Eve with Ryan Seacrest on my BestChoiceTV because I think it gives me more of what I want. Just because I only watch one New Year's program doesn't mean that I don't watch other things during the year.
I'm so getting excited about the good time we are going to have this year because we have invited some friends over to help us celebrate. These guys are the best. We have known them pretty much since we got married and we get along great. We like the same things but that doesn't mean we are boring. We like to laugh and talk and we even play games when we spend a lot of time together.
Oh yeah, and they have kids our kids age and that helps keep them busy too and kind of out of our way while we have fun. Now who could ask for more than that?

Making Wine
Ken was talking to our neighbor the other day as they were shoveling the sidewalks and they were talking about wine. I have really never been a wine drinker but that is because I have never tried it before. Ken said that Al came out with a glass and asked him to do a taste test. Ken said it was really god and asked him what it was. Al our neighbor said it was his Christmas gift to his friends he made some homemade wine for everyone this year. I did not try it but Ken said it tasted just like real grape juice. He said that Al should get some stainless steel barrels and make it in larger amounts. I heard that wine gets even better if it sits for a long time. Our neighbor is pretty good at making things so it did not surprise me that he could also make wine. He makes some really good pasta sauce. He is mostly Italian so that is not surprising either. I will have to try some next time he makes a batch.
Read Reviews
I personally always read reviews. It is sometimes hard to find a review that you can really trust. I know that some places have bad reviews and that really does not reflect what they are talking about. I like to read honest reviews from people that have actually used the product before. Take the best diet pill review for example. It can be read by millions of searchers every single day. I like a place to have reviews because I like to know how it worked with others before I would go and recommend it to a friend or spend the money on it myself. It is amazing how much people spend in the diet industry these days especially in the month of January alone. It is one of the biggest selling months. I think reviews are a very important asset to a company.
White Teeth
One thing that I look at the very first time I meet someone is their teeth. I am a bog teeth person. I really think that they reflect hygiene for a person. I like a person that has really nice teeth. That is one of the reasons that I liked Ken. He had really nice teeth. I personally like to have my teeth whitened on occasion. I have tried the crest white strips but they tend to hurt my teeth. Ken likes them however so I ordered him this free sample.

Xbox
Ken has always been a video game lover. He is not the over obsessed ones that are into gaming all the time and getting the magazines delivered in the mail but he enjoys it in his free time. I have to admit that I also like to play the video game systems on occasion. I don't have very much time for it and I would rather read a lot than play games but it is fun every once in a while. One system we do not have is the xbox 360. We have looked into getting one and also the xbox 360 controller but we have not really made a purchase as of yet. I don't know if Ken really wants one yet since he is really into the wii right now. I am sure in the future we will get one as they come out with new features for it.
Jewerly Lover
I have to tell you that I love jewelry. I love it so much that I wear it every single day even when I am not planning to go out or to dress up. I am a little picky about my jewelry because I don't like stuff that turns my finger green or hurts my ears because it was fake. When I was younger I always used to have rings that would turn my finger green after wearing them for a long time. I have since upgraded to only real jewelry. I don't have many cubic zirconia rings rings anymore because I prefer to have real diamonds. They do make some very nice jewelry that is not a diamond however. I know some can not afford the high cost of diamonds so cubic zirconia would be my next choice. I really like the ring pictured above. It is very stunning.
Hair products
I have to tell you I love having free hair care products in the mail. Since I have curly hair it is always important that I change my products so that I can keep my dry hair moisturized. It seems like I always have dry hair and I always love to try out new products for free. Here is a free sample of one of my favorites.

Missouri To Face Iowa In Insight Bowl
Guest written by our friend Donnie Donovan
There are going to be a lot of good people out there at the Missouri versus Iowa matchup at the Insight Bowl in Tempe, Arizona. You have to understand that the Missouri Tigers and Iowa Hawkeyes both have extremely good tailgaters who can travel well in a given situation. You want to make sure that you set your alarm system (Texas ADT Home security specials) before you go to the bowl game so you don't end up missing some of that great tailgating action.
Missouri happens to have a seven and five record all time against the Iowa Hawkeyes. You have to admit that coach Gary Pinkel is likely feeling confident about the game given that two of the Iowa Hawkeyes starters on offense are suspended for the game. The 00-17 Tigers have already been applauded for using a more aggressive style of defense that happen to lead to wins over the University of Oklahoma for example earlier this season. Iowa on the other hand has already been out West this season and they lost to a very capable Arizona Wildcats team early in the season in Tuscon, Arizona The fact that the team already made such a trip early in the season should help with the large amount of stress that can be put upon a team if they are not use to the concept of making such a trek.

Medical Supplies
I really do not have much use for medical supplies. I do not really know anyone that gets home health care and I don't have any sick family. I do always wonder where place buy those point of care carts because I could use one for my crafts that I am always making. It seem like it would be good to hold a lot of different little things that I always use. Sometimes I think outside of the box and use things for things they aren't intended to be used for. It does not really matter because if I am making the purchase than I can use it for just about anything. You can however use it for medical supplies if thats that you need it for as well. They have many uses and they are available online for purchase.
