Money Saving Tip

I have a new favorite holiday money saving tip this year that I will employ every single year from here on and beyond!! PERSONAL SHOPPERS!

I have discovered a service that has saved me much frustration and a ton of money! I have several "personal shoppers" that I heavily rely on to shop deals for me and review products that I know without a doubt my five adult children, their spouses and my nine grandchildren will absolutely LOVE and that are financially the BEST deals anywhere. Those "shoppers" are, of course, my daughters who love to shop, I just tell them what I'm looking for throughout the year and when they see it, they pick it up for me, often offering addition ideas for my consideration!

Secondly, it is FROM DATES TO DIAPERS.COM and other review sites, like Wal-Mart’s 11 Moms, that I refer to as my "personal shoppers" because they have firsthand knowledge about the products I know people love to give and receive!! What a great tool and they do a fantastic job!! Thank you to all of my "Personal Shoppers," your service has saved me not only $$$$ but time.

A Little Extra

I often hear husbands say they wish their wives could get paid to shop! Well, I am delighted to report to them that their wives can truly do just that. You can get paid to shop via a Visa debit card and you can get paid to turn your friends on to the same.
Shopper's Hotline pays you to scan all of your purchases and send them the information every week, (they provide the scan key device), take surveys or surf the net (I haven't taken that step yet). They not only pay you but you will also be entered into fabulous sweepstakes to win great prizes. Just call 1-877-999-2949 (Operator 10) and give them this 9-digit number 038123356
The best part is - It's FREE to join!

Spring Spa Event

My friend Jennifer Poe has launched a new business! She is a successful attorney with a "hottie" Scottie husband and an adorable 2.6 year old son named Tommy! She has decided she just can't stay away from these hunks as many hours of the day her job demands. So, being the all nauturale woman she is she has decided to go into business and sell the botanically-based line of products by Arbonne International. Check out ARBONNE.COM

We are having a Spring Spa Event with facials and foot spas! Ooh! what pampering - can't wait. She offers many spa selections including Girls Night Out, Look Great, Feel Great, Mother/Daughter, Unwind Evening and Make Me Over. I think I'll be having lots of these parties!!

If you're interested in a special time for you and your friends and an opportunity to sample some pure, safe and beneficial skin care products, email Jennifer at jennifermpoe@yahoo.com and she'll share with you how you can get 35% off on products.

Blogging!! How Do You Do That? And A New Vocabulary!!

I so enjoy my computer and use the internet primarily as a research tool, it's better than doing book searches at the library! Libraries don't have the same appeal to me anymore yet I must confess that I covet books and love to hold a good, old, musty smelling book in my hands, shifting and wiggling all over the place to snuggle up to read it. It's one of my favorite things to do. Can't do that with a monitor.
And now with my computer I have entered the cyber world of Blogging! YEA!! I think....
My dilemma is like waiting for that requested book at the library!! I'm impatient and have a love/hate relationship when it comes to learning new things on the computer. This is where I feel not so young! Younger people have no problem hitting keys, editing Html, creating web pages full of pictures and little blocks full of flashing whatever they're called, creating avitars, tagging, etc. What's a Mr. Linky?
I look at my daughter Christine's blogs (not just one) and I think to myself, Wow, what an intelligent, creative person she is to put this all together!! How fun! But after looking at it for a few minutes my eyes, no wait, my mind gets blurry!! I'm trying Christine!! I'll catch on...
For now I'm learning how to add a Mr. Linky and what to do when I'm tagged! And I'm Googling a bunch of new words I know aren't in my Webster's 1828 dictionary!
To my new blogging friends, Thanks for all your encouragement.

I Want to be a Babywearin' Grandma (aka Mimi)!

Christine at From Dates to Diapers is giving away a Rockin' Baby Pouch... Check it out, Ladies! My favorite pouch from Rockin' Baby Shop is the "Oh, Oh, I Love You So." Boy, I thank the genius that came up with this design (even though it's about 20 years too late for me!). It would be so nice to have one to carry around one of my 8 grandchildren on the fabulous fieldtrips we often take together.

Welcome...
