Hey Everyone Well Things have been.. interesting since I last wrote I guess. I didn't mean to leave you hanging with the Ameila Bedelia giveaway as my last post but- it happened. I always try to never leave sponsored giveaways /content/reviews -it is just a "thing" with me, but it isn't that big of a deal ha ha. Anyways, the giveaway has really done well - way better than I had thought- I don't hardly do them, and didn't really know where to promote it. someone added me to a FB group and from there it got picked up on someones giveaway blog and well the rest is history! I might do another giveaway soon if this keeps up! Friday David and I tried a Mexican restaurant right out by the house which is right beside of lowes/aldi but I am not a big fan of Mexican obviously- since I don't like cheese and most places act like you are crazy /can't get something you order with out cheese right- but they did! and it was AWESOME!I got fajitas and the hugest marg ever. It was awesome AND … [Read more...]

Ameila Bedelia Prize Pack Giveaway #ad #sponsored #ameliabedelia #Books #OvationBrands #HomeTownBuffet #giveaway
I received an amelia bedelia prize pack just like the one I am giving away in exchange for writing this post! all thoughts opinions ideas ,etc are all honest and my own. Your mileage and experiences may vary! If you are one of my loyal followers, you all know I hardly EVER do a giveaway! If you are new here though- well now you know as well! However, when the opportunity for this one came along, it appealed to me on a variety of levels! My background - other than blogger and social media maven like my blogging cards say, is Elementary Education with a concentration in English Education- and I mean English in the reading/grammar,etc type of sense! Anyways, when I got contacted to do a giveaway of Amelia Bedelia goodies I had to say Yes! Not only do I have the background in Elementary Education and English but I have a mad love for books- and that includes children's books too, and I also collect them! I was happy to recieve a box of chock full of goodies that appealed to me on … [Read more...]
Changing the Tone (my moms ringtone that is)
Hey Everyone Well.. today has been a pretty steady day so far.. actually I can't believe it is already 23o! My mom had stopped by on her way back from the chriopractor to bring me a elevation (church) shirt she got at goodwill- which I could tell was the newer aqua green colored ones they give to first time guests, it is like the grey one I got when we started going. I had been wanting one but I was too shy to ask for one, and I figured if we ever got Davids mom to go with us again I would just have her get one for me. Anyways, obviously someone never even wore this one.. it is still creased and feels brand new! I also changed her phone ringtone too ha ha. It was a pain in the butt, but I did it! Today has actually been pretty steady with writing back and forth emails, writing a few things on the site and trying to eat lunch. I know that David and I are going to have a big ole fresh salad for dinner.. and I sent him a message and told him did he want a list of what to get or me … [Read more...]
Review: Playster Streaming & More Service #ad #sponsored #review #playster
David and I have pretty well NEVER had cable or satellite for TV except for a couple of brief times in the last 9 years! This stretch that we are on right now has exceeded what I had thought we would keep it for because it was cheaper for us to bundle everything while I had no cell phone, and just use our home phone. Since football season is over and we both have phones again we will most def. be cutting the cord again. We are big fans of seasons of tv on DVD, streaming on a few different sites and we love the savings too! I honestly think that we were married for 3 years or more before we ever had satellite and I hated it! I finally had it out with them when they took our payment out 3 times in a row and only wanted to give me a bill credit- when I had other bills due! When I got a chance to review for Playster, I was pretty excited, because I am always excited about streaming services and sites, and I love to check them out and have different options in case I can't find … [Read more...]
Tuesday Ten (91) Things to do this Spring
Ok Well.. Every post I ever write is one of these sorts of posts isn't it (lol) I am always talking about got to do this and got to do that - anyways here are 10 more spring related things I am going to try to come up with- if I can! Spring Cleaning! I mean.. cabinets, drawers, closets... the whole she-bang! Have a yardsale with cleaned out goodies- I think the goodies I had left over from last time got ruined because my mom decided to store them in this stupid box thing in her driveway and the bottom came out! Start walking around the Apt place with Marley again Maybe do a few days a week in the "gym" here at the apt place- in the evenings start getting up bright and early- working on this one but still not really there- thanks cold weather Keep working on reviews at the pace that I am, if I can! I don't want to lose my mojo! Do some prep work on Vintage Soap. Maybe. Find some sort of way to have a little bitty "garden" with tomatoes or something that would work for … [Read more...]
Love Low Key Times
Hey Everyone This weekend was the MOST LOW KEY WEEKEND EVER lol... which is good because after all that time change getting up early insomnia mess last week I def. enjoyed the rest! Also, this weekend coming up we have winter jam and since we have the Jam nation tickets we'll basically be gone the whole day... just like when we did the Elevation concert last summer. I have one snag in the fact that my mom has known I was gonna be doing this for a few weeks and she knew she was going to watch Marley for me, and now she isn't sure if they are going to be home or not! Something with my dad and splitting his Bees and going to Virginia!' My mom is trying to get him to hold off until Sunday since he'll be off Monday (I think David will likely get Friday as his extra day) anyways-she doesn't want to mess up any plans my grandma would have for the Holiday as well..and she actually would rather wait until the next weekend, so I guess we'll see. I honestly wasn't really into going to this … [Read more...]
