I Have been looking at doing a little decorating... What should I do?

I know I am pretty private about my home life- but just to let you in on a few secrets - I moved about 8 months ago. Into my own house!  This is the first time I have ever lived ON MY OWN .... And now it is about time to make it a place of my own.  So... On to decorating!

The first room that I did was my sons room.  He had to have a room he felt comfortable in and that he enjoyed to be in...As I was looking for furniture for the rooms, I did come across this - elements international bp700drw - brook white dresser with optional mirror (white finish).  It is cute, but my son really didn't like it as much as I hoped - he ended up getting a Familiar dresser from his grandpas house.

The next room that got any personality was the kitchen.  It is the first room that you see when you walk in my front door.  And the easiest way to decorate a kitchen is by using vinyl placemats modern.  Vinyl placemats are the way to go - especially with young kids.  They are super easy to clean up!

But there are times where worrying about how your house will look when others come over and you will drive yourself insane.  That is when you need to get a walgreen blood pressure Kit. Once you realize that your blood pressure is up, you will know how to control it.  My suggestion - when decorating becomes more stressful than fun .. its time to walk away and hire someone! (either that or get a friend to come in and help you.  Someone you trust... and has similar taste as you)

How to organize your Online Content - using Clipix

Being a blogger, I tend to have a Gazillion projects going on at once.  I'm either Pitching for an event, Posting about some pretty awesome products, or drooling over products that I would love to have for myself. I have never found a good way to keep my thoughts in order... I have tried using spreadsheets and email lists - but when i go back weeks or months later, I totally forget what my notes meant.  Now I have heard about Clipix.  I am sure that it is going to be easier to keep track of the items I want to get

What is Clipix? clipix is an useful tool that is changing the way that people organize their lives.  It was created to solve the problem that everyone has - Seeing tons of things online every day and never having a good way to organize them.  

What are some of the things that I have clipped on my Clipix board?  Well I just started clipping - to see how it works, but I will tell you this.  When i go through my and enter bloggers giveaways - I will be clipping the items I love most (from either the blog's home page or the manufactures home page).  That way When I am ready to look for a new product or a new company to feature I will have some ideas of where I would like to start. I have also been helping one of my friends with their "Ideal Wedding Dresses" So this is a great way to share some of the things I found for her.

Have you signed up for Clipix?  If you havent - then Why Not? You have no clue what you are missing.  What are some of the things that you are looking forward to clipping?

Teenagers

Thanks to Roman May
My husband knows someone from his work that has two teenage sons. He was eating lunch with my husband the other day, and started talking about all the trouble he is having with his boys. His boys have started getting into trouble at school and have become more and more rebellious towards all authority including their parents. He has really had to start buckling down with the boys and keeping tabs on their school work and everything else they are involved with. The boys have even been caught more than once sneaking out of their house at night. So finally he had to talk with someone about getting a security system that would not only keep the bad guys out, but one that would also let him know when his sons were attempting to sneak out at night. That is when he contacted adt security services. The company was able to set up the system without the sons knowing that they had it installed. So now whenever they try to sneak out of the house, their dad is notified on his cell phone and can go to the place in the house that they are attempting to leave from. They don’t know what to think now. They just know that now they are getting caught.

Being a Blogger....

Being a Blogger has brought a new light onto life.  Ever since I have started blogging I have met many new people....And learned many things.  I have managed to find a new me in the process.

Being a Blogger - I have a "family" that is ever growing.  They may not be genetically my family - but they are about as close as you can get sometimes.  I've shared many heart to heart stories with Bzzing Mom,  Am able to feel like I am in High School when talking to Woven By Words, and have learned So much from This Mama Loves Her Bargains.  Plus many more! Every one of them I consider a "family"

Being a blogger - I have realized you can not ever judge a book by its cover - or a person by what he/she wears or does.  Being a blogger I have learned who my friends are - and may never meet them face to face.

I wouldnt give up being a "Blogger" for anything.  Yes, sometimes it can get stressful... or overwhelming... but in the end.  It has made me... ME!

Are you ready for Valentines Day? Let EdenFantasys Help

I have been doing a ton of Window Shopping for Valentines Day myself.  And where do you think I am shopping?  If you haven't guessed it - I am shopping at EdenFantasys. com.  This has become my  favorite site to shop at.   Not only do they have sex toys - but for those who dont need them or want them - they do have  a great line of other products.  Some of the other products that EdenFantasys Carries are Candles, Body Products, Books, Lingerie and even clothing.

Some of my favorite products by EdenFantasys are their clothing line.  I have recently purchased a couple shirts from the website.  I love their tank tops.  I personally Love the way my back looks - So I always look for a shirt that is Revealing in the back .  I purchased the Sexy Cowl Front O-Ring Back Tank top.  This is a Sleeveless Tank top that features a Draping Cowl Neckline.  The back features a Strapy O-Ring.  This tank top is defiantly flattering  I just wish it was a hair longer - but i know over time as i loose the rest of this baby belly - it will fit even more perfect! I will have to admit that this tank top looks great in the picture and Super Amazing in real life!

This is the tank top that I think I am going to go after next!  How hot is that?  I love the deep V cut, but it doesn't show off EVERYTHING you own.

Make sure you check out EdenFantasys for your Valentines Day needs.

*I received a gift card to EdenFantasys in exchange for this review.  All opinions expressed are that of my own. 

CHECKS

Thanks to Lemuel Craft
Last week I started to write a check for my son’s tuition at his preschool and realized that we had run out of checks. We rarely use checks, so I only have to order them a couple of times per year. Since we found some WildBlue Deals on internet, I decided to utilize it and order checks online. It is so much cheaper and less of a hassle to order checks online than at the bank in my opinion. I like picking out the design on the checks. Before I was married, I would order checks with animal prints or flowers. Now that I am married, my husband insists that we have some checks that are not so feminine looking. The last few pads of checks were very boring looking and were just plain blue. My husband liked them because he thought that they looked much more masculine than the checks that I normally pick. For this order, I think I will try to find some checks that are not as boring. It is really not that important what your checks look like, but I always look at peoples’ checks when they write me one.
