My husband and I both work from home.  We’ve been doing this almost a year and we still do the majority of our work from our kitchen table.  Most of the time there are laptops on my kitchen table and it drives me absolutely crazy.  We have recently started working on creating an office in our home so that we can try to keep our work life separate from our family life.  So, we have been looking at some desks and some office chairs and some office supplies.  I actually like the idea of creating a desk by having two longer tables that come together and meet in the corner of the room.  I’d love to have filing cabinets as the base so I have a place for all of my files.  I think it would work out just great for us and be more affordable than buying a desk.

I’m not sure if you’ve noticed, but medication is expensive!  If you live in the US and you don’t have insurance there aren’t very many medications you can afford.  A few months ago I was really sick and had to go to the doctor.  I was more concerned with how much my medication was going to cost than how much the doctor’s visit would cost.

If you’re like me and can’t afford the medication you might you need, then you should look into Canada Drugs.  Now you might be a little concerned about buying medicine on the internet but according to their site this Canadian pharmacy is safe and affordable.  If you need to buy Celebrex or any other medicine you may want to look into Canadian drugs.  I looked into an infertility drug that I would like to use and found the price to be quite reasonable.  I know I’m going to keep this site in mind when I need to get medication so that I can check their prices before I spend a lot of money on medication in the US.

I am so sick of the snow and cold winter weather.  I need spring to be here!  I can’t take the cold, depressing winter anymore.  So to ease my pain of the fact that we probably have another month of winter left I am making plans for my hubby for this summer.  I am hoping he will be building a new front porch on our house.  It’s quite beautiful inside my head.

I want him to rip out what is there- yucky, ugly concrete that the previous owners painted gray which is now peeling.  I want it rebuilt with beautiful wood.  I want tons of flowers- and I really want some window boxes to dress it up.  I am thinking that it would look nice if I added a window box to each of the windows in the front of our house too, to kind of keep things the same.  Our deck that was built last summer needs a little sprucing up as far as flowers, so some window boxes back there would look good too!

I wish I could start a countdown to the nice weather, but where we live it’s impossible to know.  It will be here someday and I’ll be out there sprucing things up!

Since I have moved several times I know how bad things can start to hurt on your body. With our last move the biggest headache and pain ended up being was our truck rental, and not finding were we needed to go. There was just one problem after another. Even after things were sorted out- driving a big truck you’re not used to driving isn’t much fun.

If there’s a next time we move we are going to look into using a one way rental service, hire someone to do it for us, or get a new GPS. This would be perfect for long distance moving.   Or you can always find a friend with a curt trailer hitches on his truck and hope he’s willing to make a million small trips to help you move. Or look for a moving company- these companies come to you, pack everything and drop it off at your new home or location. So if any of you are ready to move look into paying someone to do it for you, if you can afford it, it will save you a huge headache.

I believe that all pregnant woman should have the best medical care that there is.  I think it is in the best interest of the families to have screenings done of the unborn baby as well.  I will be very clear about this- I am 100% pro-life.  But, I still think that First Trimester Screening is good idea to do.

Why?  If there is something wrong the unborn child then families will have time to adjust to the news as well as set up the best care that there is for the child.  If you know your child will have Down Syndrome then you can be prepared for that, rather than shocked at the birth of your child.  This is most definitely in the best interest of the child and parents.

I do not believe in abortion, ever.  Even if there is something wrong with your unborn child.  But, I do still recommend all pregnant woman have screenings done to check for any problems.  Please feel free to comment with your thoughts and opinions- even if you do not agree with me.

Once the healthy baby has arrived, get some hoya de monterrey cigars and celebrate!

Some days it’s hard to remember to even speak to your spouse, let alone try to make time for some romance. Here are a few things you can do for your hubby to remind him that he is still important to you:

1. Aim for giving him a compliment every day. Tell him how nice he looks, what a great dad you think he is, how thankful you are that he works hard, etc. Just come up with something nice to say to him everyday.
2. Send him an email, a text-message or an IM just to say hi or I love you.
3. Give him a card and write a nice note in it about how much he means to you.
4. Get some marine binoculars and go bird watching.
5. Buy him tickets to see a favorite sporting event.
6. Let him watch whatever he wants on TV without any complaining from you.
7. Give him a nice back rub without expecting one in return.
8. Leave him a little note in his car telling him how much you appreciate him.
9. Cuddle under the electric blanket.
10. Listen to him when he talks to you. Stop whatever you are doing and just listen.

Do you know what is frustrating?  Being on a diet.  I hate it.  I haven’t lost a single pound since the new year.  It’s my own fault, of course because I haven’t worked at it.  I still eat what I want, snack way too much and never exercise.  Yet, when I stand on the scale I am frustrated to see that same old number.  I wish there were fat burner pills out there that I could take and still eat how I want and still lose weight.  Of course there are fat burner pills for me or mens fat burner pills for the guys. We all know that isn’t how it works though.  Even if you take diet pills you still have to eat healthy and exercise in order to reach your goal.  Maybe I’ll start soon, you never know.

I know the holidays are over but I’m always shopping and thinking of what I can get people for Christmas.

Some of the guys on my list to buy for are very hard to shop for.  But today I may have found a solution for some of them.  I’m thinking that maybe I could buy some of them some board games, or even few game tables.  Now I have never tried purchasing something like a game table before but they really do look like something some of my male relatives would want to have.

There’s always things like coffee and food I can buy them too.  Maybe some movies or video games too.

For the ladies on my list who are hard to buy for I think that getting them some of best food storage containers would be a great idea. Who can’t use some fun ways to store your food?

How about you?  What do you buy for those hard to buy for people?

When I was young I was very tiny.  I had no idea how fortunate I was.  I ate what I wanted and I stayed teeny-tiny.  When I went away to college I wasn’t as active as I had been when I was younger.  I was in class all morning, at work in the afternoon and studying in the evenings.  There wasn’t much time for being active like I had been.  And my eating habits didn’t change.  So I started gaining weight.  Just a little at first, but before I knew it I was 20 pounds overweight, then 30 pounds… you get the idea.  I didn’t want to take diet pills, mostly because of the diet pill side effects. But with the power of the internet you can find the info on just about any diet pill out there. Or even if you need to check out what the lipozene side effects are.  You can always get that kind of information on the internet.  But make sure you check with your doctor too.

Acne can be very difficult to treat.  My teenage daughter has terrible acne.  We have tried every over the counter acne treatment there is.  And we have tried all sorts of prescribed treatments as well.  We have finally found something that is working for her.  I have seen her self esteem go way up since her acne has started to clear up.  Different things work for different people and it can be hard to know what treatments to use.  There is a lot of information on the Internet so check out the acne treatment choices and see what you can find that will work for you.
