WORDLESS WEDNESDAY (WHAT COULD SHE BE THINKING?)

NEED TO GET A LOAN?

In Today's economy every one of us are trying our best to find ways to improve our daily living. Trying to stretch a buck is like performing a miracle nowadays. My BIL Angelo has been trying to set up a restaurant business since he is such a great cook. The only problem is where can he get the money to open his own restaurant. I must admit he does not have a perfect credit score but its not that bad either. He refuses to get a loan from the Bank saying that he would rather find something that doesn't require a lot of paper works and doesn't need a big collateral. I thought maybe he should check out Personal Loans and see what they can do to help him.He can even get a loan for up to $15,000. If your like my BIL and in a tight spot check out Personal Loan Mania and read some of the FAQ that most customers ask. They can help, all you have to do is to check it out and see what they can do for you.

SPRINKLED FUN

The weather has been so wonderful that it was time to take out the Dora sprinkler from its hiding place in the shed. Friday we had to drop off Kayla to her mommy's since she has to spend 3 out of 4 weekends with her mom. Saturday we left Kaitlyn with MIMA so daddy and I could wash off the boat and put the for sale sign on it. We got done before 12 and was home by lunch time. After we had some hot dogs we decided to let Kaitlyn have some fun outside with the Dora Sprinkler. She had a blast and would try to get Dora but the water would stop her, lol. She is such a trip, to bad her sister was not with her this time. So without further delay, here is my little actress.......

CHECK IT OUT

Spring is really here. We all are enjoying a beautiful warm weather where you can just go out without a sweater or jacket. The kids are specially loving it, they get to play outside with bubbles, chalks, the swing set and most of all the ever popular sand box. Everyone is preparing for Summer's arrival and with that Ralph also has to make sure to get a good credit check to know our financial standing. Ralph has been trying and working on improving his credit score by paying off some of the debts that he had. Its tough doing that since some of his debt has increased due to interests. When I get my papers in the mail Ralph will be getting me my own credit card so I will know how to handle paying my credit card bills and build up good credit. For a person that is not very familiar with using and having a credit card its important that to know some of the terms and what it means and this is where CARD HUB can help. They have a glossary of terms complete with explanation of what it is. That's one service you cant find in a lot of credit score checker. This summer be prepared and check it out.

IN LIMBO

For weeks now, I have been contemplating about going home for a vacation. I don't think its going to be possible since things are getting bad and the economy is not looking to good. Just yesterday Ralph called to inform me that 20 cops will be laid off and a months leave without pay is going to be enforced on all cops. That got me really worried about Ralph's job and our finances. We are not rich, we just make ends meet. My decision not to go home is the right thing to do. My heart is aching to go home and see my family but my brain is telling me to wait and think first. I don't want to force the situation and put my families finances here in limbo. Its really really hard for me, Ralph feels so bad about this and worries that I wont love him anymore. Life is about tough choices and sacrifices. I know one day when the time is right we will be able to go back for a visit, but its not the right time. For now I'll just make do with talking and seeing my family through the eyes of the web cam, that is better than nothing.

POTENTIAL LIFE SAVING KIT

As my mother turns a year older and wiser I cant help but worry about her health. She is not as healthy as I would like her to be, to top it off she has gained a lot of weight. Her hormones have been out of whack since she had to have a hysterectomy and one of her thyroid had to be removed. After all of those operation was when she started gaining a whole lot of weight and adding more complications to her Rheumatic Heart condition. It scares me to think that I may after all have that condition since its hereditary.

Now that I'm a mother I worry about my health since I have my two little girls to think of. I know there are also mother's like me who have to think about the future and that is where C'elle comes to our rescue. The company has come up with a way to harvest stem cells in a woman's menstrual blood. What we women dread about monthly could potentially save our lives and the lives of our loved ones. With the easy to use collection kit, harvesting that potential life saving stem cell is within our reach. For a limited time offer you can get C'elle for only $299 ($400 off on the regular price) when you use the promo code : CN400. Its time we take care of ourselves and have safety line for our future.

THUNDERSTORMS

The day started off great with the twittering birds, warm sunshine and cool breeze. We were surprise how nice it was outside since it was suppose to rain the morning. Kaitlyn once again was out the whole afternoon. I had to put her down for her afternoon nap first. She slept for over 2 hours and was fully charged when we went outside in the front porch. We all went to the bus stop to pick up big sister and my was she happy to see all of us there. The kids kept playing in the front porch and also the backyard. We had pizza and cheese steak for dinner and ate on the back deck.

It was a different story after about 8:00 p.m. though, it started to rain cats and dogs. It was just pouring and then the thunderstorm started. I'm a grown woman but the thunder just scared me since you could feel the house vibrate. The sound and the flash of lightning was also scary. Thank God it didn't last that long of else I would never would have been able to drop on my daily visitors and readers. One thing with kids is that when they finally fall asleep they are deaf to anything, well almost, lol.

KNOW MORE ABOUT FORECLOSURE

Its no secret that the economy has affected everybody around the world. People have lost cars,properties. The most sad thing about the economy is that some families has had there homes foreclosed on them, leaving some homeless. My BIL even hit a rough spot when his house was also foreclosed on him less than 2 years ago. Here is good news for people who are living in the State of Ohio with stop foreclosure ohio.There are ways to stop having your house foreclosed on you,check out the site for more information on how you can save your home. I hope they would come up with more talk about how to stop foreclosure in different States as this would be a big help to many families right about now. Take action now and lay claim to your home again.

PINK LITTLE SANDALS

Her pink little sandals. We got that at Walmart and every where we go people always say her shoes look so cute on her and ask where we got it. As you can see Kaitlyn doesn't have the nicest nails around,lol.. MIL and I always talk how ugly her toes are. Its just her nails are growing upwards and its just hard to trim and make it even. Still she has cute little toes and it amazes me how fast they grow, she is between size 4-5. She only gets a max of two shoes since she is still growing and it would be such a waste to buy her more and she wont be able to wear them a lot. This one she has almost worn out, she loves wearing this since she can run around in them, jump and climb.In another week or two she will probably outgrow this.

GOOD HEALTH INVESTMENT

Being a parent is one of the most wonderful thing that happened to me. Conceiving, nurturing a tiny human being inside of me was an eye opening journey. Giving birth was special and one that I will never forget. Children are gifts from God, a gift worth protecting, nurturing and worth preserving. As a mother I worry about the health and well being of my girls. I always get scared about certain illness and diseases that my kids may get. Every little sniffle, cough, fever and parent/parents start to worry about the kids. Its in our nature to find a way to make sure that our kids get healthy and stay healthy. We all know that there are some common diseases that kids are usually prone to. One of them is leukemia and different forms of disorders. We are planning on having a new baby and it helps to be prepared for health issues that may come up in the future. To help safeguard the health and life of our kids, lets think about getting Cryo-Cell , it's harvesting the stem cells found in the umbilical cord of new born infant. Scientist have found that the umbilical cord contain stem cells that in likeness to bone marrow transplant. Banking our child's cord blood may save the life of a loved one, a sibling or parent. Here is a testimonial of a Cryo-Cell customer :

"My children are the most precious gifts that I will ever have and I want to do everything I can to make sure they are well. While I was pregnant with my first child, I would see articles and ads about cord blood and it bothered me that it was so expensive but what if I one day needed this blood. The reality of having only one chance or it really went in the garbage kept me wondering if I would regret not investing. What if he had cancer or his dad or I were sick, would that blood have been the cure? Through research, I came across Cryo-Cell International, Inc., a company with the most reasonable rates and the assurance of two holding facilities.

When I was pregnant with my second child, we wondered if one bank was enough? Finances were tighter and should we spend the money? Then we realized that his brothers blood might not match for the new baby. The next day, stories were breaking about how Cord blood had saved or changed the lives of children, one cancer, one cerebral palsy. Then we discovered that a friend was diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma. He didn't bank his daughters blood and wished he had. Three years prior, I lost a friend to renal cancer when she was 29. We felt like it was our answer.

We are just beginning to see miracles that this blood can bring. We have two "life insurance policies", that is how we look at it. If anyone in the family gets ill, there is a chance that the blood could save our lives. If we don't use it, then it is there for our son's children."

Sincerely,
mother of Parker and Davis

TREAT FOR THE KIDDOS

Good Friday we took the kids and one of Kayla's friend Kelly with us to chuckee cheeses. This was Ralph way of thanking Kelly for giving Kayla the price that she won at Girl Scout. I know Good Friday is a time to pray and reflect on our mistakes, I have done that and every single day I thank God for saving us from our sin. Kids have no idea what's going on, Kayla knows that happens on Good Friday but she still doesn't understand everything. Anyhow, the kids had fun and they were very well behaved and no meltdowns. It was a different story though on our way home, they had gooey and melty ice cream all over there mouth,lol...

BUNNY LEFT BASKETS OF GOODIES

And then there was the Easter Bunny who hopped and hopped around the house. Dropping all those Easter Basket filled with toys and goodies. Well that's what we told Kayla how we got the Easter basket of goodies for her and her sister. Easter Day we had to drop her off at her mommy's since it was her year to have Kayla. We dropped her off at 9 am and Ralph picked her up at 6 p.m., we had a late dinner so we could eat as a whole family on Easter. We just had Ham, corn, mashed potatoes, spinach, and of course 3 kinds of dessert. They loved the Easter Basket that the Easter Bunny left them.

A FREE VACATION?

Hopefully the wet days are over and the sun will take over. The next few days will be warm, dry and sunny. Spring has sprung its wings ready to take off in the wind. Each day summer is getting closer and closer. Its time to start thinking about a great vacation that we could take our kids to. A vacation where we all can enjoy the same activities together. We have never been to Florida and I have only heard wonderful things about places to do and go in Kissimmee. Lots of fun outdoor activities, water parks, restaurants, festivals and events, shopping, theme parks, golf and many many more. How about if I tell you that your vacation could be free? Yes, you read it right, Kissimmee is giving away:

• 3 weekend getaways for 2 people (3 days/2 nights)
• 2 week long vacations for 4

All you have to do is enter the Kissimmee Sweepstakes and that vacation could be for your family. A vacation would be a great but when we could get it for free, that's just super!. Right now, I'll start planning what our itinerary would be. As parents we always make sure our kids have a blast so we will probably head on to an outdoor activity first that includes sightseeing and a day at the park. Going to a Theme Park where the oldest can have her choice of adrenaline pumping rides while the little one can settle for the simple rides. The water parks since both our girls love the water and of course something for Me and Ralph maybe a little luxury activity. Winning that week long vacation would be awesome. Don't forget that drawings will be held on or around 4/1/09, 5/1/09 and 6/1/09.. We still got a chance to win, enter now.....
