Cooking Out

My family does everything backwards. During the summer months it's just to hot to have cookouts unless you have a pool close by. Now that fall is upon us we will be enjoying those cookouts. All this next week we will be in the low 80's which is the perfect weather for hanging with the family and eating some yummy food. Growing up in the North then slowly migrating to the South, we have a little of both at our cookouts. When my husband and I met we brought in a few of our favorites to make a new tradition. In the north the main side dishes were... macaroni salad, potato salad, baked beans, and cottage cheese. You cannot have a cookout without those 4 items. In the south they do pork, whether it be ribs, loins or shredded. For those who think when it comes to cooking out you cannot have the best of both worlds you can indeed. Whenever we do have cook outs I have several requests. My macaroni salad is to die for. What are some of your favorites when having a cookout? … [Read more...]

Purchasing A Domain Name

When I first started my blogs I was up in the air on domain names. I knew I needed one, and a free one wasn't an option for me. I wanted to be known by name, not that one blog on wordpress.com. Over the years the price of domains have went up pretty high. I remember when you could get one for about $5, now I am paying double and triple that a year. However, with a little searching you can find codes for cheap domains. Such as the 1and1 coupon I found which will let you register a com/org domain for as little as $1.99. When I purchased my domain I was just starting out so I was pretty clueless, but when my husband got his we used a 1and1 promo code so that we were not breaking the bank if he decided he would prefer a different domain. My husband has personally owned about 4 different names. After he hits the button to make the purchase he thinks of another name he likes better. With having to pay $15 each year to renew my domain, no way will I let him purchase through a more … [Read more...]

With Halloween just around the corner if you are having a party this year it's time to get everything in order. Halloween parties are my favorite! Not just because of the fun costumes, but because of all the neat things you can do with the foods for the party. If you are like me you like going all out. I have found so many fun ideas on pinterest. Pinterest has everything from fun ways to decorate right down to fun ways to make the food. We got worms... and... even fun meal ideas. Pinterest is my go to when I want to do something different. One thing I have found about the neat ideas on pinterest, is they're most frugal friendly. We want our children to remember the night, but we also want to stay on a budget. One thing I have learned over the years, is by reusing certain products from around the home you can have one heck of a party. Turn those toilet paper rolls into spooky eyes!!! Or better yet turn that toilet paper into a fun game! These are the … [Read more...]

Remodeling The Guest Bathroom

We have lived in our currently location off and on for about 11 years. We have two bathrooms, one in our bedroom and one for guests. Or what we would like to say our daughter's bathroom. This bathroom has a place for a bathtub/shower; however, we never felt the need to have one installed because our daughter used our shower in the master bedroom. It wasn't until recently, we decided it was time we see about remodeling the guest bathroom. I guess it had to do with having a family member move in, and I don't want to share my shower. I have been looking at different lighting to go in the guest bathroom I want lighting that will set off the shower. We are in the process of installing a tile shower. The bathroom isn't a very big one so we thought a shower would be best. When it comes to remodeling there's so many things to take into factor. How many of you turn to the internet when it comes time to remodel to get an idea of designs and cost? The internet is my main go to place … [Read more...]

Security Cameras Come in Handy

There has been some issues around here lately, my husband and I have 3 security cameras in place. Two I received for review, and the one I won. I have to say I love all three, the one actually records and uploads to a cloud server, this allowing me to check the feed while I am away or if I have been sleeping. The other two I have set up to email me when it detects motion. I went outside this morning and noticed someone had been in my yard, because a few things are missing. With the drama going on I knew who it was and why they took the items. HOWEVER, they have been informed by the police they CANNOT come in this yard without permission, and we have no trespassing signs in our yard. This lady thinks she is above the law, she thinks she has say over everyone and everything. She found out the hard way she doesn't have say over everything, and if she comes in my yard again she will find out the hard way she isn't above the law. This is the reason to have security cameras, I want … [Read more...]

Does Past Debt Got You Scratching Your Head

Does money issues have you putting those credit cards on hold? Has it got so bad where you have stopped paying credit cards? Did you know there are places out there that can help you lower those bills so you can pay them. I knew long ago I would be bad when it came to those credit cards so I never got one. Having one would be great for emergency reasons; however, those who get them for that reason end up charging them up for other non-emergency items. Don't let that credit card debt keep piling up, and stop those annoying calls by making plans to pay off that debt. With Christmas coming up most will probably be going over board and making several charges, if at all possible try saving so much out of your pay check each week and make this holiday a non credit card one, if you don't have the cash for the item, don't get it. How many of you have several credit cards? … [Read more...]

Monster High Costumes

We went to Walmart last night and they had a display where the Monster High Costumes once were. It looks as though every little girl in the county will be going as those Monster High girls. Last year my daughter went as lagoona blue. This year they have more costumes, and Monster High has become a bit more popular. I can say this much at least when we go to the store we have a selection of Monster High dolls now. Before as soon as they hit the shelves they were sold and on ebay with jacked up prices. I remember when the $22 sweet 1600 car was on ebay for almost $80 dollars. I mean really some people are worse then the people running our oil supply and gas stations. My daughter never got into Barbie dolls, so when the Monster High dolls came out I wasn't sure she would actually play with them once she got them. To my surprise she places with them for hours at a time. She has roughly 22 thankfully she earned the money from Grandma and Grandpa, to purchase most of them. I think … [Read more...]
