Earn Rewards While Shopping

I love those store cards where you earn points or get special savings when you use it. If it is something you would normally use, it is like free stuff! If the free stuff is gas, like with this Visa reward card, wow!  Who would not want to earn some money off these gas prices?  I know I do!  I have a lot of school clothes and school supplies to buy, in addition to college books for my husband's oldest child, so earning back something for purchases we have to make - bonus!

Kohl's Coupons

It's been a busy year, but I'm back! My kids keep me jumping and this economy keeps me stressing.  When is it going to get better?  I just ordered some clothes for one of my girls from Kohl's and I used Kohls coupons to save money.  I have become a coupon queen and always look for coupons for whatever I buy.  Clothes are definitely no exception.

Car Insurance with a Teenager

Does anybody know what happens to my car insurance rates once my teenager gets her driver's permit or driver's license? I'm worried they're going to double or something!

My oldest will be going into high school next.  It is hard to believe that over the next four years, she'll start dating, learning to drive, and will become an adult.  Wow!

New Mom Baby Gifts

Every new mom has a standard list of things they need for a new baby.  How do you give the "standard" required baby stuff that every new mom wants but make it unique for mom and baby? 

I know!

Personalized Baby Gift Baskets

Yup, you give personalized baby gift baskets just like the one in the photo above sold by Baby Stuff Gifts.  Isn't it cute?  You can order for boy, for girl, or for twins! 

I always wanted a set of twins.  I thought one of us girls in the family would have them since they run in the family for each generation but it didn't happen.  My little brother is the only one left to have children yet so maybe he'll get the twins!  That'd be funny - the last to have kids would get double the trouble at once.  Love it!

Organizing a Boy's Room

I need some organization help for people who know how to save space.  I want some type of display shelving for my son's room that doesn't take up floor space for his trophies and awards (as well as all his books). He has no room in his bedroom because his drum set is in there taking up a quarter of his floor space. I'm not sure what is the best option on how to organize everything so it looks nice, is sturdy, and big enough to hold what I want it to. 

We have that storage problem in every room of our house actually.  What I wouldn't give for an actual utility room, walk-in closets, and a master bathroom!

Your Secret for Losing Weight

I am so thrilled that my weight is coming down again!  I have 19.2 pounds left to lose.  With my fat reduction eating plan (thanks to gallstones) and the increase in my thyroid medication, I am finally seeing results.  I am wondering if there is something else I an do to lose it a little quicker.  It seems like I've been unhappy with my weight forever (in reality, it's been five years).  Wow - five years.  That's a lot of years to be unhappy every time I look in the mirror.  How depressing. 

How do you lose weight safely?  I've heard some people talk about http://www.dietpillswithephedra.net/, others restrict all processed, fatty foods, while others exercise religiously.  What's the secret?  I wouldn't mind a little healthy push in the right direction.

Work at Home Mom

I am a work-at-home mom.  I guess my title, if I had to give one, would be freelance writer.  It makes me a decent income for extras in the house and allows me to set my schedule around my kids' schedules.  I have thought about how to become an affiliate and if it is another branch I should look into. I'd definitely like to increase my at-home income!  If I can do it around cheerleading practices, soccer, and homework - all the better!

2010 Hot Christmas Gifts

I found out over the past two days what the hot toys are for Christmas this year!  I was wondering what they were.  Apparently the XBox 360 Kinect system is one of them because they're sold out in the stores I've been to so far.  Another hot item is the Monster High dolls (Frankie Stein, Cleo de Nile, Lagoona Blue, Clawdeen Wolf, and Draculaura). 

I'm not sure what is hot for the teenager girl age, perhaps the best acne treatments? Kidding. My teenage daughter wants books (including a journal), a necklace, Legos (yup, she loves those building sets like the ships and stuff), and some PSP games.
