So what are your plans for tomorrow? Will you be hanging with the family, or out with friends? I will be hanging with my sister's family, and we will be snacking, playing the Wii and drinking TEA! Yes, I said tea, we use to drink some vodka and orange juice, but now we are boring old people. I just wanted to remind everyone if you are out drinking, DO NOT DRIVE. It is okay to have a good time just remember your limits, and if you get to wasted call someone. I have included a number that will not only take you home, they will also take your car home, and it is FREE. So there is no excuse for drunk driving accidents. When you put yourself behind the wheel drunk, you not only put yourself in danger you put all those other innocent people's lives in danger as well. How would you feel if a child died because of your stupid actions. Use your brain, have fun and call Tipsy Tow if you drink. Tipsy Tow offered by AAA: You DON'T have to be a AAA member to use the service, offered from … [Read more...]

Shaving With Seasons
How many of you use the season to determine your shaving habits? "Raising Hand" I am so guilty of this, during the summer I shave about 3 times a week, sometimes more it all depends on my mood. However, in the winter months, I shave maybe 3 times a month. Okay, I shave more than 3 times a month, but I don't shave no where near as much during the winter months. Why? Well it is simple, I wear pants so who is going to see my legs besides my husband, and during the winter my skin tends to get rather dry, so shaving leads to a lot of cuts. My husband also shaves with the season. During the Summer months he shaves his head almost daily, however during the winter months he allows his hair to grow out, which I don't blame him the winter months can become pretty cold. My husband has always been a clean cut guy, when he first started shaving his dad gave him a shaving brush and cup that was passed down to him, from his dad. This shaving cup and brush has been through three generations so … [Read more...]
Almost Time To Put 2011 Behind Us
I have to admit 2011 has been one hell of a ride. A lot has happened in my personal life, we ended up moving for a short period, and plan to go back to Tennessee within the next few years. For the time being this was the best solution for our current problem. Some highlights in 2011 include: My daughter turning 10! My daughter discovering Santa is momma and daddy. The birth of Dizzy Mommy Chronicles Friendships gained, and friendships lost. I finally got help for a problem I have been battling for years, and I feel better then ever. Okay I feel better then before. Some highlights I hope for 2012: I hope to purchase a home here in Michigan... (But Jammie, you just said you were going back to Tennessee in a few years... mmhmm I did:) ) I plan to get my business off to an awesome start... (you will find out more about this later) I plan to see my daughter turn 11, and spend lots of time at the beach and geocaching this Summer. There is a lot on … [Read more...]
When To Look Into Other Options
Many people suffer from infertility, however, with the technology we have today, those that suffer can still become parents. Whether it's adoption or through artificial insemination. Did you know that a third of the time infertility is due to the female, and a third is due to the male. The other third is either due to both, or no issue being found. For those having a hard time conceiving don't give up. Weigh out your options and see what way might be good for you. If the problem lies with the female you can always consult with an egg bank. The reason for sperm and egg banks is to help those achieve their dreams of becoming parents. Often times such services are over looked because one feels ashamed. Never feel ashamed for wanting to become a parent. I have a few friends that have ran into infertility issues, but they didn't let this small bump in the road stop them from becoming parents. Yes, finding out you may not be able to conceive is heart wrenching, but thanks to technology … [Read more...]
Judging Others
You know what bugs me? When I watch my facebook stream and I see nothing but other people judging and bad mouthing someone else. I understand people often put to much of their information out for the world to see, however, it is often done so others will reach out to them and give them a shoulder to cry on. Not start all the gossiping. I noticed the other day someone mentioned something about divorces, and how it was wrong for people to congratulate them on their divorce. I sat here wondering what gave that person the right to judge the one celebrating her new life. I mean does this person know how the other persons marriage was. Maybe she was beat daily, or abused mentally. I am sorry but if I was abused mentally or even physically in my marriage I would be screaming to the roof and praising all for being out of the situation I was in. I just sometimes do not understand people. Another thing is how they will sit there and say one thing but do another. I mean really come … [Read more...]
Cultivation Of The Nopal Cactus
The Nopal fruit, or Nopal cactus as it's more commonly known as today, is a fruit found primarily in the mountainous regions of Mexico. The Nopal is farmed regularly in these regions as the rich and rocky soil offers the essential nutrients the Nopal needs to grow to it's full potential. In addition to the soil the Nopal benefits from higher elevations by it naturally having less pests. These key factors help Nopal farmers produce healthy and more abundant Nopal crops. The main reason the Nopal is farmed so much in that region is the great benefits the plant receives. The reason the Nopal is cultivated at all is very much the same. The prickly pear is harvested as a traditional food product of the country and for it's nutritional and therapeutic benefits. Some reputable companies such as Trivita utilize the cleansing and anti inflammatory properties of the Nopal cactus to produce their Nopal powered wellness drink Nopalea. The drink offers the health promoting effects of the … [Read more...]
Winter Blues
For some Winter can be very depressing, I think a lot of it has to do with the fact it is so cold it is hard to do things. During the Summer months we are outside most the time, but during Winter we are stuck indoors, unless we want to freeze our behinds off! Did you know one way to help cure those winter blues is doing some crafts with your children. I have found that when I spend more time with my daughter doing fun things such as making cards, building houses from whatever we can find, or even playing the Wii, it helps with me feeling all blah. Sometimes all it takes is a nice hot cup of chocolate, some family time, and winter will be over before you know it. Look how fast Christmas got here. Come 2012 I have a lot of things in store for my sites, as well as my business. I want to get my daughter involved as much as possible so I will even be having her make things to include in the store. Thankfully I will be starting in the winter months so it will make the time go a lot … [Read more...]
Can You Believe it!
Five, more days until that man in the red suit comes down those chimneys! Make sure no fire is lite he may have to go some where else. You know when I was growing up, I always wondered how Santa came in when a fire was lite. As my daughter got older she would ask how Santa came in since we didn't have a chimney. I would explain with his Magical key. Once she discovered Santa was make believe, she wanted to know who called her, and how the letter was wrote. So I showed her all the cool tools moms and dads to keep their children believing. I think one thing that made the finding out so much easier on her, is the fact I have raised her that it is better to give then receive. I think that is a lot of what happened to our economy people in the higher up places got a bit greedy, and the lower ones are the ones that suffer from the aftermath. I hope 2012 becomes better for all and things make a big turn around, I know it will take time but it is possible. I am making a pledge for … [Read more...]
Great Deals For Less
For many people, the economy has put a halt to their spending. So we are finding other ways to get those nice items we want. I have turned to finding awesome deal sites on-line such as NoMoreRack. These sites allow me to get nice products for my family, for cheap. I first learned of NoMoreRack through their refer a friend. Their refer a friend gives you the opportunity to refer your friends to their site, and as a thank you, they send you nice items. I have to admit though, when I first heard of the refer a friend the first thing that popped into my head was NoMoreRack had to be a scam. I was having hard time believing they were really sending out items such as ipads, to those who referred so many friends. So I did a search for NoMoreRack scam, several things came up, but I like to dig deep into things. I try to never write a company off based on some bad reviews. I know people tend to get mad at companies for many reasons, and they like to get as much bad reviews out their as … [Read more...]
