Thanksgiving Menu

Have you started that Thanksgiving Day menu yet? Are you doing a traditional dinner or just whatever? I know growing up we always had the works on Thanksgiving. Mom would make a big turkey, and all the sides to go with it. I remember we had a big deep freeze and it would be covered with food, and all the family would come over to help us eat it all. When I was living in the South, my husband's family did things a bit different. We had our normal Thanksgiving a few years in a row but then we switched it up some, and one year we went out, another we made it be an Italian feast. To be honest, I prefer the good old Turkey dinner, the main reason I love having all the left overs. It means I do not have to cook awhile, and do you know all of the meals you can make with left overs! My favorite is turkey salad for sandwiches. Yummy. What are some things you prepare for Thanksgiving Dinner? … [Read more...]

Why You Should NOT Use Cheap Shaving Products

How many of you try to save money by grabbing your husband's shaving products when you needed to shave? As females we are always trying to find away to help save money in our households, and if it means grabbing for our husband's shaving cream we usually don't think twice. I mean have you priced the shaving cream for women? I have and it seems like everything we need cost a fortune. Recently, I have started to notice something though, I decided to treat myself to my own razors and shaving cream, and my legs have thanked me. While using my husband's products I would always get nicks, one time I was done shaving went to leave and noticed my leg was nothing but a bloody mess. I honestly thought all these cuts were due to me trying to shave rather fast. However, it wasn't. It was due to the fact men shaving products are not intended for us women! Although, we seem to think we are saving money by reaching for our husband's shaving products we are not. Let me explain why, #1 although … [Read more...]

I Have The Best Husband Ever

Most of the time anyways. Today I received a package that weighed 145 pounds! No lie, the fedex man shows up, and asks my husband if he could by chance help him, that he had a package that was 145 pounds! He asked my husband if he had any idea what it maybe, my husband informed him that we get so many packages that it was a bit impossible to guess. LOL Your probably wondering how that makes my husband the best one ever right? Well what came in the mail today was a headstone for my baby brother. Yes, I got a headstone to review, this thing is amazing. My brother has been gone for 24 years, and there is nothing to show he is even where he is. Well, I made a mistake and I got his date of death wrong... I have him passing 4 days before he did. I am super upset about this, however, I can almost swear he died on the date I put, I always remembered it so many days before my birthday, and so many days after my older sister's birthday. Well the date mess up on my part has been upsetting … [Read more...]

Searching For The Best Insurance

As parents we want to make sure our children have the best medical coverage possible. We want to assure ourselves if something were to happen we know they will get the best care. Often times our employer will offer our families a medical insurance plan. However, in my experience it has been just basic insurance with a high co pay. When my husband had medical insurance on us through his employer it covered very little. We were paying $60 a month for the insurance plus we had a $30 co-pay every time we went to the doctor. We decided it was time to look into other insurance coverage when we received a bill showing the insurance company only covered .27 cents of a $151.00 bill. Trying to find cheap inexpensive medical coverage that is also good is not easy. However, as long as you know where to look you will have no trouble finding coverage that will be perfect for your family. One thing to remember when looking for insurance is how good it is for children. Some insurance maybe … [Read more...]

Family Law

Whenever you or a family member go through a divorce chances are it's in everyone's best interest to have a lawyer on their side. Whether it's to determine who gets the kids, or who gets the house. Often times divorce can be very hard, and get extremely ugly. So having a go between will help make the divorce a little less stressful. Plus it helps to have someone that knows the laws on your side. If you're unsure how you would go about finding a lawyer that will be able to meet your needs, you can always look in the yellow pages. If you are like me, and you do not have a phone book, use the internet. A simple search will bring up all the information you need, to take the next steps in contacting a lawyer. For instance if you are in the Barrie area you would search something like "Family lawyer Barrie" If you … [Read more...]

Thinking About Quitting

It won't be long and it will be time to make those New Year's Resolutions. How many of you are planning to quit smoking in 2012? I know one of the two main resolutions are weight loss, and to quit smoking. Both are difficult to do, especially solo. However, with some will power and a lot of hard work, both can be done. If you are serious about kicking the bad habit, maybe ask for an e-cigarette this Christmas. I have heard many great success stories from others who have used this method to quit. There are a lot of great companies out there that sell the e-cigarettes. If you are not sure which company would be best for you, you can always do a search for "electronic cigarette company", and do some research. When doing your research look for companies that guarantee their product. I have always found the companies that do offer some sort of customer guarantee are the better companies, because they are standing behind their product. I know my sister is trying to quit, and she is … [Read more...]

What Should I Do With My Savings?

When you were little you might have had a jar or a piggy bank filled with coins that you hid under your mattress or in your closet. This might have been an effective saving strategy when you were young, but now that you are older and your savings fund amounts to more than small change it’s time to start thinking of a different way to hold onto your money. Your savings are important, and where to keep them should be carefully considered. If your savings are not in the optimal account you could be missing out on a lot of money in gathering interest. Whether your savings are short term, mid-term or long term, it is a good idea to keep them somewhere that is accessible, safe, and will allow them to grow. The amount of interest that your chunk of savings will accumulate depends on which type of financial institution you use and which type of account you place the money in. You will also need to think about how accessible you want your money to be. Are you saving this amount of money … [Read more...]

Kids Say the Funniest Things

Tonight as I was about ready to cook dinner, my daughter informs me she has a loose tooth. My remark was "wonderful, I hope the tooth fairy knows where you moved too." She comes into the kitchen and says "I know you're the tooth fairy, or else you wouldn't have said wonderful, in a sarcastic way. Plus, I was saying Shaytard's on youtube, and they were going into sontards room, to remove the tooth and put money under his pillow" Sweet, now that she knows I am the tooth fairy I get to save all my dollars, and know she knows I am Santa as well so no need for that fat ol man to upset her on Christmas if he doesn't bring her what she wants. At what age did you stop believing in Santa? Have your kids got to that age yet? I think my daughter has known for some time, every since she was 6, she has been telling me it was impossible for there to even be a Santa. Now I know for certain my baby at the age of 10 doesn't believe in Santa. Now let's hope she doesn't tell her baby … [Read more...]
