If you haven’t realized it yet I LOVE to shop

Every year I have this wonderful idea to wake up as early as I possibly can just to bust through the doors of the store that has the best sale going on. It’s the famous day after our gobble gobble turkey day called Black Friday. I never can get out of the door before 8:00am and usually miss out on those door buster deals. Come cyber monday though and I’m on it! There’s something so much better about shopping from the computer.

Things have changed! Now there’s a website that you can purchase the items that are on sale at 5:00am right from your computer. Who wants to go out in all that crowded mess when you can purchase the items right from the comfort of your home? Not me! The website is already compiling their list of what is going to be on sell this year on Black Friday. Don’t want to keep checking back to see what’s been added? Then enter your email address and they will update you as new ads are added.

They great thing is I can start planning my Christmas shopping now. I’ve already found some great deals that my favorite stores are having. I just might have to stock up on some of the stuff Target has on sale and maybe turn around and double my money on ebay. This definitely is a site worth spending some time on.

Friday Favorites

It’s been a few weeks since I’ve displayed my favorites of the week. This week I’m going to do something a little different. I’m going to give some of my favorite highlights of my week.

  • My mom got a great job and I am so happy for her!!! Congrats to you, Mom!
  • Jayden read an entire book to me all by himself. I only helped with the really big words.
  • My husband is still here even though I’ve been a hormonal psycho wife – I love you, Gino!
  • I completed my 2006 taxes and am pleased to know that I’m actually getting a pretty nice refund
  • My husband is going to start reading the Book of Mormon with me – HUGE STEP!

Say No To SPAM

This world has now become just one big party on the internet. If you aren’t a part of it it’s like you’re hiding under a rock and are missing out on some the best times. Some of the best friends, some of the best advice, and probably one of the best get aways from life that I’ve found…. sad huh? If you’re not a part of this your missing out on SO MUCH!

Unfortunately, with the way our economy is people are starting to not be able to afford things, and this includes the internet. A very important thing that I personally believe should be in all homes. I mean, let’s face it. Wouldn’t you rather email that crazy aunt of yours instead of making that phone call to check on her?

If you or someone you know cannot afford the high prices of the internet you definitely should be high tailing it to getisp.info. They are a website that can help you find low cost ISP providers. They even have information on a no cost access plan from NetZero. You can’t beat that!

This isn’t all they have to offer. They also have tips on how to speed up your computer, are you tired of all that spam flooding into your email? They can help you with that! If you have a wireless network you need to make sure you’re protected. They got tips for that too!

Head over and start protecting your computer today – or get your friends and family hooked up with the world they’re missing out on!

Inspiration to moms

Something that we all should remember. Here’s a quote from Gordon B. Hinckley..

“Do the best you can. And remember that the greatest asset you have in this world is those children who you’ve brought into the world, and for whose nurture and care you’re responsible.”

Our homes don’t have to be perfect. The main thing that matters is that our children are getting the love, care and attention that they so deserve. They are the reason we exist.

Shop-a-holic’s Dream!

A wonderful site has been launched in the UK that is every shop-a-holic’s dream! Dealtime is a website that you can get all of your shopping done and you will get the best deal out there! There are so many different categories to choose from electronics to wine. The best part of this website is they search for you for the best deals and link you to them. Just go and check out all the options that you have to choose from when searching for an iPod.

Forget going store to store or website to website searching for that deal. Now you can get it all done in one place. This would be the perfect website to use during the holidays to get all of your shopping done for your friends and family. You wouldn’t even have to leave your house and hit those busy malls, and you’d be getting a much better deal.

One thing I really liked about this website is that they have appliances. If you have a washer or dryer that’s gone out, now you can go here and get the best deal!

MAJOR Mom Brag!

When Jayden was younger and he’d see a piano he wasn’t one to go and bang on it. He tried to position his fingers on it and even tried to read the music. Unfortunately, living in Sacramento I never had time for anything let alone piano lessons. I always knew in my heart that this little boy had something really special about him.

Starting in March of this year I started taking Jayden up to the Bishop’s house to get piano lessons from his daughter. Within just 3 months Jayden has shocked us all. First let clarify that Jayden has energy like none other! The minute we walk through those doors for some reason he thinks it’s time to play around, joke around and you’d think by the way he was acting that he wasn’t getting anything that she was saying.

If she points to a key Jayden knows exactly what that key is. He has C Chord memorized and 1 Chord memorized and she even did a duet with him yesterday. If he calms down enough to play a song for her it’s perfect. When he’s clapping and counting the notes his voice is going with the tune of the song. This has always blown me away and I asked her yesterday if this was normal. Her eyes got big and she shook her head and told me that Jayden is at the same level as some of her girls that she’s been teaching for 2 years.

He’s only 6 years old. Can you imagine what he’s going to sound like when he’s older. He is a talented little boy and something in me always told me this. I’m glad we got him into lessons when he was younger.

On another brag note….. Thursdays in Jayden’s class is library day. Jayden got a Dora book and read the entire thing to me with VERY minimal help!! Way to go, Bubby!!!!!

Who doesn’t love free shipping?

My UFO Experience

Great! I’m never showing my face at my husband’s work EVER again! He’s told one of his friend’s at work a story about me that’s kinda embarrassing and his friend told another person and that person told another person and when Gino was leaving for work yesterday his boss said, “Make sure your wife doesn’t get abducted by an alien tonight.” and laughed.

It was in 2005 and it was night. My backyard had a big tree and the night sky was BLACK. I was out back with the dog and I looked up into the sky and there was a UFO hovering over my house. I panicked. I didn’t know what to do. I wanted to grab the dog and Jayden and get in the car and leave, but I didn’t see the point since the UFO could easily follow us. If it was going to abduct us it was going abduct us no matter where we were.

Gino was at his friend Justin’s house playing Madden. I called in a panic explaining to my husband that there’s a UFO over our house and I don’t know what to do. I’m crying at this point. Gino sat on the phone speechless, because this is really kinda out there. I mean come on, how would you react if your other called you freaking out over something so random and weird So, they are just in shock and I hear Justin say in the background, “Dude, wtf is wrong with her?” After I convince Gino that there really is a UFO above our house he’s about ready to come home until I say. “Oh, wait a minute. Nevermind! It’s just one of those blimp things.”

I will probably be made fun of for the rest of my life.

What shoes are to a woman is a watch to a man

My husband thinks he needs a new watch every year. Christmas rolls around and I can bank on a comment of “A really nice watch would be nice this year.” I guess he forgets about all the other nice watches he has. Which, he got every other year for either Valentine’s Day, Christmas, his birthday. Come on, how many watches does a man need? Apparently it’s like shoes for woman for some men. I guess everybody has their thing, right?

The Watchery sells luxury watches like this beautiful Harry Winston at a HUGE discounted price. I’ve spent some time looking around on their website and I’ve completely fallen head over heels a lot of what they’re offering. One aspect that I LOVE is that if you purchase a watch from them they will give you a free watch! You could get 2 Christmas, birthday, father’s day… whatever holiday it is presents for the price of 1! Father’s Day is right around the corner, and you know your dad and husband would love a luxury watch! If you don’t like any of the watches they offer for free you can say – No thanks to those and take 80% off of a large selection of other watches. They even have Ebel watches at a price I’ve never seen before. My husband would LOVE this!
