I love this Oregon eco solar weather station

I have been seeing these eco solar weather stations everytime I go to my friends house and I have been wanting one for myself. I didn't know where to buy one so I went searching on the internet for one. I found the Oregon Scientific Eco Solar Weather Station,Charging Clock,Wireless Sensor and that is exactly what I was looking for. I always wonder what the weather will be like that day and now I will know.

I also like that I dont have to keep buying batteries for this weather station since the solar panel recharges the batteries. The clock on the weather station is always precise and I do not have to worry about adjusting it for daylight savings time. These weather stations are really cool and I am glad I was able to find one.

What a great way to play house

My kids like to play house. I have looked and looked for a sturdy little house that wasn't going to break my wallet and that was big enough for them to play in. While looking online I found the Step 2 Neat and Tidy Cottage. This little cottage is sturdy enough for my kids to play in and not break it. This little cottage has an interactive telephone and doorbell. My kids will love playing with the phone.

The clear and spacious windows on the house will let me know that my kids are okay playing in there and O can keep an eye on everything going on. I might even join my little ones playing in this little playhouse cottage. When I was growing up I had a treehouse and this little cottage is the next best thing.

A dvd carrying case that will protect your dvds

One of my favorite things to do is collect movies. I have so many movies that sometimes my kids lose the dvd cases that go with the movie. I hate having my movies just hanging out without a case so I bought a 100 dvd carrying case for them. I like the organization of having my movies tucked away safely. I also like having the ease of taking my movies on the road when we go on outings. My kids tend to get fussy if we go places that takes hours to get to. I just pop in a movie and keep them entertained and having this carrying case helps a a lot.

I am bing on organization and knowing where my dvds are at all times makes me feel better. I no longer have to worry about my dvds getting scratched because they dont have a case. I also like the lock that comes with this carrying case. If you have movies that you do not want others seeing or touching you can lock the carrying case and noone will have access to your dvds.

A picnic table for the backyard

One of my favorite things to do during the summer is have picnics and bbq's. I dont always feel like going to the park and wait for a table to become available though. My hubby suggested that we buy a picnic table kit and build our own picnic table. I thought he was crazy for a minute but then after I really thought about it the picnic table seemed like a good idea. My kids liked the idea of helping daddy build a picnic table. The picnic table kit was less than 80 dollars which was a big plus for me since you know I love bargains.

Getting to enjoy the outdoors while my kids go swimming and playing around in the backyard is definitely a wonderful way for me to relax. Now that I have an area to sit on I like hanging out more in my backyard. My hubby likes that he has a table to put all the food when he is barbequing so getting a picnic table was a really good decision.

My place of Zen

My favorite place to be is my bedroom. I love going to sleep in my nice comfortable bed. I love decorating my bedroom because it is my place of Zen. One of the things I make sure I have is a nice comforter set to make my bed look nice. One of the nice comforter sets I say and liked was this Better Homes and Garden comforter set . I like neautral color tones and this comforter set provided just that.

I make sure I have some yummy smelling candles in my room and I make sure my relaxation cd is in my stereo. There is nothing better than coming home and relaxing in my bed after a hard days work. My hubby tells me that he loves coming home and relaxing in our bedroom.

Breakfast will be delicious

I love making pancakes for my family. I hate making them on a pan so I went looking for an electric grill to make them on. I didn't want to be spending tons of money on a grill so I bought the Magic Chef Electric Grill. This electric grill easy good to make pancakes and bacon and eggs if I need to. My sister in law likes to  use the grill to make her flour tortillas but I am not good at making them from scratch. I usually wait for the holidays to buy my grill but I just could not wait tha tlong to get another one.

For some reason I find that my pancakes come out better in these type of grills. I have used pans but they dont come out as nice as they do on electric grills. I think these grills make a great christmas gift for anyone. You don't have to spend tons of money on a grill this Magic chef electric grill will be perfect for any morning breakfast you want to make.

A laptop at a awesome price for anyone going to school or needing a laptop

School will be starting next month and a good laptop will be needed for those starting college. I know I didnt want to spend too much on a laptop that I was going to be using for emails and word documents. If you are a college student on a budget I suggest getting this Dell Inspiron 15.6" Laptop with 4GB DDR3 Memory and 500GB Hard Drive.  This laptop costs 359.99 and it is a great deal for a Dell laptop. I have had a dell laptop and it lasted me over 5 years which is a very long time in my opinion.

I also recommend getting your high school child a laptop. My teen had so much work to do on the computer and her brothers and sisters were constantly fighting over who got to use the desktop computer next. I could not believe how much work high schoolers get. If you have a very busy household I suggest getting a laptop for the house or for one of your older kids.

When do you start your christmas shopping ?

I know christmas is still 6 months away but since I have a big family I start shopping for my nieces and nephews early. My nieces are teenagers and are big into music so I got them the Ematic E6 3" Inch Touch Screen Color 4GB MP3 Video Player & 5 Mega Pixel Camera. My nephews are much younger and they are happy with a remote control helicopter or remote control car.

When I am shopping for my sister I look at titanium womens jewelry because that is what she likes. My brother in law is way more simple to shop for all I have to get him is anything sports related. I know it seems crazy to shart shopping for christmas so early but when I find a great deal I make sure to get it because I know it will come in handy towards christmas time. When do you start your christmas shopping ?

A flat screen tv that is within my budget

Finding a television that is priced within my budget can be hard at times. All the tvs that I can afford are usually either 32 inches or smaller. I wanted at least a 40 in flat screen that would cost me less than 300.00 dollars. I know that could be quite a task to find but with enough searching I came upon a t..v that was in the price range I was looking for. The Westinghouse 40inch LCD 1080p 60Hz HDTV was exactly what I was looking for and the price was 299.98 which was around what I was looking to pay for it.

I didn't want to spend so much money on a tv that my kids are going to be using. I have gone through a lot of tvs since I have had my kids and I did not want to spend tons of money buying another tv. This tv will be perfect to watch movies on and is just the prefect size for the family room. What do you look for when making your tv purchases?

Keeps things neat and organized

If you are like me you like things neat and organized. I noticed that what has helped me is putting labels on my boxes and then storing them in the garage. I have labeled all my kids clothes and have packed blankets and labeled them til I need them in the winter time. The Brother PT-2030 Desktop Office Labeler is the perfect labeler to get the job done. This brother label machine usually costs 49.99 but right now you can buy it for 19.99 at staples.com

If you know me you know that I am always looking for bargain finds and this one is a really awesome one. I have labeled my spices in my kitchen cabinet and I have gone as far as labeling the kids toy storage bins so they know where their legos and their little toy soldiers go. Some people might say I am going overboard with my organization but I like to keep things neat and organized.

A great price on a Kingston microSD memory card .. what are you waiting for go and buy one

Many cellphones or mp3 players need microSD memory cards to hold photos or music. These cards can be expensive and I know firsthand when I bought one for my cellphone. I really wish I had looked online and shopped around when I got my phone last year. While I was shopping online I saw an awesome deal on a Kingston 16GB microSDHC Flash Memory Card with SD Adapter. A card with 16gb will usually run you about 50 bucks but I found it for 8.95 plus free shipping. You know I stocked up  on these memory cards since all my kids have cellphones and mp3 players that requre these micro memory cards to store things.

I know I might sound a little crazy to buy more than one but when I spot such a good deal I cant help but stock up on the item that is on sale. I know all of friends who are into electronics and photography know what a good deal this Kingston 16gb memory card is and I am sure they will be stocking up too. To all of my readers I sugget you go and order yourself some of these cards too.

Ribbonwick Candles For My Unique Style

I am always looking for something different for my house. I love anything unique. If something is different, you can bet I will be interested in it. Another thing is that I have candles all over my house. My house smelling good is such a big thing for me, so when I found these Ribbonwick Candles, I was too eager to order them. The flame glowing in a ribbon-like pattern is so different and unique. Not to mention the most important part, the smell! They all fill the room with the best fragrances. I get so many complements on the candles when I have company over, and I just love that!

I will be having a spongebob squarepants marathon

I am always looking for awesome shopping finds and when I find something at a bargain price I literally squeal and jump up and down and quickly order whatever it is that I have found. This time I found Spongebob Squarepants first 100 episodes on dvd and being the big Spongebon fan I had to have it. I wouldn't normally splurge on dvd sets but this set was only 29.99 and free shipping so I jumped on that really quick. This set will normally sell for 107.99 so that more than fifty percent off savings.

I dont think anyone should pay retail price for anything. It is just a matter of looking for bargains and having a little patience.I will gladly cut coupons if it saves me money. I am always looking for bargains and when I get whatever it is I am looking for and it is less than retail you know I am a happy camper.

Jammin to the oldies

Shopping for my  dad isnt always easy. Luckily I like shopping for gifts in general and buying gifts for my daddy is my specialty. I love giving folks ideas on what to get their dads or the father of their children. I spoil my dad constantly and if some of my gifts make great gifts for your dad then I am glad to have shared my thoughts or gift ideas. I recently ordered my dad a Grace Digital GDI-IR2550P Pandora WI-FI Internet Radio because he loves listening to music while he works in his garage.

My dad likes to sing and dance while working on his many projects. I love hearing my dad sing and getting him this WiFi internet radio gave him more channels than he was getting on his regular radio. My dad isn't into new technology like I am but he sure loves getting more radio stations. If your dad loves music just as much as my dad does he will love this Pandora WI-FI internet radio.

Have your kids cool down in this hot weather

Are you just barely making it through this hot weather we are having? My children hate this hot sticky weather just as much as I do. I got them a Intex 10 foot x 30 inch Ocean Reef pool. You don't have to spend a lot of money on a pool this pool was 49.98 which a great shopping find considering that this pool normally costs 99 dollars or more.  I wanted a pool that was easy to assemble and this pool is just that a very easy set up pool.

This pool is just what my kids need to cool down and pass this hot summer weather. I think I might take a swim in there too if the weather gets too hot. I rather spend 50 dollars than having to spend hundreds of dollars on a huge pool that will be too big for my kids anyways. The pump that comes with this pool will keep it clean and that is all I need. I am glad I found this awesome shopping deal. I also hope it helps any one of you looking for a pool for your kids.

Found the series I loved to watch with my dad

One of my favorite pastimes is to watch shows that I watched when I was growing up. My dad and I would sit and watch reruns of The Twilight Zone. My dad loved getting popcorn ready and sitting down with a comfy blanket and pillow and just watch the episodes. When I saw  The Twilight Zone : The complete series being offered in Amazon and at a reasonable price I knew this was a great gift for my dad. I am planning on wrapping it up and giving it to him for his birthday.

While I go with my dad to look at exhibit manufacturers I will be planning a little party and thinking about all the things that I need to get done. I am lucky that his girlfriend is going to help me plan his surprise party. I am glad that I have his gift set now if only I can get some kind of idea what kind of cake he would like. Maybe when I go with him I can ask him during the car ride.

Wonderful activity table for your child

I am always looking for cute little tables for my children to do art and color on. I wanted a table that was their size and that was easy to clean. I found what I was looking for in this Crayola 4 in 1 art center table. This crayola table is just what I needed. This Crayola table has Chalkboard surface, Erasable surface & 2 drawing surfaces. My kids can pick a area to use and let their brother use another area.

I find the little chairs that come with it adorable too. This table  includes lots of Crayola Accessories: (24) Crayons, 24-pieces Colored Chalk & (2) Erasable Marker, 24-pieces of colored 8.5"  x 11" paper and that is a bonus in itself. The best part is that this table only costs 29.99 which is quite a bargain especially when you get so many things with it.
