Hilarious!

This is too funny! Go read this eBay auction. This mom, Dawn, is a fantastic writer. And look! She's also got a blog! Good reading!

Moving in New Jersey?

Are you in or near New Jersey? Are you planning on moving soon and need a moving company in NJ? Check out www.homebulletin.net and get a 'free competitive moving quote'.

I think that's a fantastic idea! I love having all the names and numbers in one spot! No more digging around the phone book trying to keep track of who I've called and who offers what services.

Ebay

I listed something on eBay 4.5 hours ago and it's still not showing in the searches. I find that a bit odd. They sent me the email saying that it's listed. I know it takes a while to show, but 4.5 hours?????? That's a bit much, I think.

Blog Rolls

I'm noticing that not all my blogs on my blogroll are showing that they're updated. Anyone know a reason why?

Moderation? Or Free-for-All?

What is your opinion on this parenting debate? I'm of the camp that allows my children to have things in moderation, hoping to thwart their desire to eat sweets until they're sick. I've even used this in my own life, while doing Weight Watchers. If I allow (and make note of it, of course) myself to have one cookie/cake/whateversoundsgoodatthemoment, I don't have the desire to eat the whole cookie jar of cookies.

I'm hoping the Princesses will follow through with this moderation when it comes to their finances. I'm trying to teach them that credit cards shouldn't be thought of as "free" money, because, we all know, it's far from free! Wish me luck!

Saving Money

Every time I shop online, I look for a coupon to use. A dollar is a dollar, you know, and hey, I'm cheap!

www.keepcash.com has a ton of discount codes and coupons for a bunch of different stores. The website is updated daily with the latest deals. I can't believe all the coupons I've found on that site! I've seen many stores on there that I shop online at. I'm definitely bookmarking this site.

I've been looking for Disney Crocs. I've found them at www.shoebuy.com and there's even Shoebuy.com coupons. I'm so excited! I've been wanting these for quite a while and to get them even cheaper makes them a great deal!

Before you buy anything online, go take a look, I'm sure you'll find a money saving coupon!

How Walt Disney Cartoons are Made

I found this really interesting, especially since I'm reading the biography of Walt Disney and reading through it all and then to see it in action is pretty cool.

Virtual Sandcastles

Youngest Princess and I just built some Sandcastles. It was a lot of fun! You had many options to choose from and you could even color the sand. You got to add fun little things like beach balls, seagulls, crabs and even flags to the top of your sand towers. It was really easy to do, even Youngest Princess colored her sandcastle by herself. She even wants to go make some more. I guess she loves digging in the sand whether it's real or virtual!

The website even has a sandcastle gallery so you can see what sandcastles other people have built. Some of them are quite extravagant! I've always been envious of people who can make sandcastles actually look like something! Mine usually look like what they are.....upside down buckets. Thank goodness for the internet, where my sandcastle looks like something!

Make sure your speakers are turned up too! There are sounds of seagulls and waves crashing on the beach. If you close your eyes you can just imagine yourself sitting there with a cool breeze blowing over you and a cool drink in your hand.

Go build your own Sandcastles. It's a blast! I even built one without youngest Princess. I really wish I was sitting on that beach right now!

Free Coloring Pages

Have you seen the site that has Free Coloring Pages for kids? The Princesses are going to love this site! Good thing we have enough computers here to go around, or I'd be having to give up some of my computer time!

I've been playing around with it. I colored a page with Tigger and Pooh. Yep, they even have Disney pages! I was thrilled to see that and the Princesses will be too! They're as big of Disney freaks as I am. There's also Pokemon, Barbie, Hello Kitty and Bratz, just to name a few. They also have subjects such as holidays, food, transportation, sports and more. Oh goodness, I just looked again and found a My Little Pony page. Youngest Princess will be picking that one as her favorite, I'm sure!

It is really simple to color your page. Find the page you want to color, click on the color you want and then click on the picture where you want the color to go. Simple as that! You know what else is cool? You can upload your own coloring page and color it in. When you're done coloring, you can save your picture to show your friends and family, just make sure you're registered first.

See, it starts as:

and it becomes this in no time!


It doesn't matter if you're 3 or 83, go check it out! I bet you'll have fun!!

Bindi the Jungle Girl

As I was browsing through videos at The News Room, I came across this video.

Steve Irwin's daughter, Bindi, is creating a TV show following in her father's footsteps. It's called Bindi the Jungle Girl and will be on the Discovery Kids channel. I love watching her, she's so animated and seems to be 'down to earth'.

The show will be about conservation and education of the wildlife around us. Some scenes will include Steve Irwin, since he was involved in the first few episodes.

I think Bindi's father would be proud! Her mother, Terry, thinks so as well. Anything I've ever seen about the late Steve Irwin shows he cared about family and animals. This show has both! My Princesses will love this show. They're both animal lovers.

I couldn't believe all the videos at The News Room. Anything that has been in the news was there! The clips aren't "last week's news" either, (although you can find last week's news too)! You can see really recent news clips easily. The whole site was easy to use. Inserting the video clip into my post was a piece of cake. I clicked on the copy button and it was copied! Simple as that!

Go try them out for yourselves! You're bound to find something of interest to you!

TIssue Alert

Lisa posted this on a message board we're on. Over on the right side of the page is a video showing a soldier coming home from Iraq and going to school to surprise his 6 year old son. Definitely a tear-jerker!

I would like to publicly thank all of our service men and women for the sacrifice they've given for all of us!

Yay! Another Nerd Husband!

nevetS asked me about how to program the remote to run the Roomba. My husband actually programmed it, so I'm not sure the actual steps, but I guess that the remote has many different options that you can program it with. The Roomba was actually one of the options. He just told it what button would run it. LOL

Thanks, nevetS for visiting and for being a self-proclaimed Nerd Husband!!

Poor Sanjaya

Poor Sanjaya. He really needs to go home. I sometimes wonder if the American Idol powers that be are keeping him for a purpose. Anyway, I was browsing blogs and Julie had this Saturday Night Live parody of Sanjaya linked on her site. Hilarious!!
