ProBlogger Book Review

Sunday, May 18th, 2008

I looked forward to the arrival of my book so I could be one of the first with my ProBlogger book review. However, when ProBlogger Book: Secrets To Blogging Your Way To A Six Figure Income arrived, I was more than a little disappointed. 

Perhaps I expected too much from this book or maybe I thought it really did contain some “secret” that few others knew. But it didn’t. It was a ho hum book. All the information in the book can be easily found on the Internet, most of it on the ProBlogger blog.

Happy Mothers Day!

Monday, May 12th, 2008

Yeah, I know it’s late, but I wanted to wish all you stay at home Mom’s a happy Mothers Day! Stay at home Mom’s, as well as all Mom’s really, need a little break from staying at home and keeping the home fires lit.

So for this Mothers Day, I’ve decided on a little history lesson.

How Mother’s Day Started In The Ancient Times

The practice of honoring of motherhood is rooted in antiquity, and past traditional often had strong symbolic and religious overtones. Adoration was bestowed upon female deities or the Church. It has only been the last several centuries that honoring motherhood has become popular for the individual women.

Once A Month Cooking Tips For Stay At Home Moms

Saturday, May 3rd, 2008

If most of you Mom and Dads out there are like me, there never seems to be enough time or energy at the end of most days to prepare a good wholesome home cooked meal. Wouldn’t it be nice if cooking these good ole fashioned meals didn’t take forever to prepare? I read a blog the other day where the lady cooked once a month (for the most part) and froze all the food and then reassembled the frozen food at a later date to create her family’s meals. I found this quite interesting as I sometimes would make a week’s worth of meals on Sunday and freeze them so we could have them throughout the week. Now, if you don’t know how to cook, well, Houston, we have a problem! You can skip this article :)

House breaking my Pomeranian

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007

Some of you might know that I finally caved in and the Family bought a small Pomeranian.

I’ll admit, it’s a cute little fuzz ball. A cute little destructive fuzz ball!

However, now the time has come to house break this little fuzz ball and he’s not taking kindly to it. I Googled “house breaking a puppy” and followed some simple advice from several websites. Nothing seemed to work until I found this site “Pomeranian Puppy Training.” Dawn has reviewed a book on house breaking a puppy so I bought it. She was right! This book helped us house break our new Pomeranian Puppy, even though he resisted, I think he “get’s it” now!

Is It Only Me?

Friday, August 17th, 2007

Is it only me, or do those self serve checkout kiosk that seem to be popping up everywhere annoy anyone else? I’ve had it with them! It normally takes me much longer to check out with one of those than it does with a cashier!

Plus, they don’t give us a discount for checking ourself out and bagging our own groceries! Call me old fashioned, but when I go grocery shopping I want to be checked out by a person who is bagging my groceries also while I’m organizing my wallet and writing a check out for the amount.

A New Change At This Blog!

Sunday, August 12th, 2007

I’ve had some fun with this blog and have received some good feedback. Several friends have been goading me into just start blogging about other stuff other than all the junk email they fill my boxes with!

I’ve decided to oblige them and from now on, I’ll be posting things out of the blue, for no reason at all. Things that happen to me, things that I like/don’t like…anything. It sounds like it should be fun, so sit back and enjoy.

If you want to jump in, feel free! I’d love to hear from you all. After all, isn’t that what a blog is all about? Two girls…or hundreds of girls getting together and chatting? LOL

Life Saving Tips For Women Everywhere…and Guys Too!

Sunday, July 8th, 2007

Bloggers Note: This is the classic chain email. There are some good tips here, but I’m not sure about all of them. Remember, this is an internet chain email, take the tips with a grain of salt. 

For those not from Kansas City, on Tuesday they found the body of 18 year old Kelsey Smith, a girl that just graduated from the high school a week earlier. So sad so senseless. Kelsey was abducted from a Target parking lot after doing some routine shopping.
