Bringing together a very special Christmas play

Guest post written by Erin Hinson

Last year our church Christmas play never really got off the ground because of a whole bunch of different things that happened that I just won’t get into. Well, this year we wanted to make sure that the Christmas play happens without a hitch. Lots of people were really sad last year when it didn’t happen, so I’m determined to deliver the best Christmas play possible.

I’ve been doing a whole lot of research online to see if I can come up with some really cool costume ideas and while I was doing that about a week or two ago, I ran across some information on Miracle Ear. After I looked through it a little bit I decided to go and get fitted with some hearing aids. My kids have been telling me that I need to get some for so long now anyway.

I found one kids Christmas skit that I think we’re going to include in the play. I love adding a little something here and there, but only if it’s going to add to the overall experience.

Real Estate

Posted by Gaylord Campbell

I have been a real estate agent for over 30 years, but since the real estate market took a dive a few years ago, my family has had some financial struggles. With three kids in college, we’ve had to make some adjustments to make ends meet. My wife began working at the local middle school as a receptionist, which brings in a significant amount of money each year. We’ve cut down the amount of channels we receive with our cable, and we got rid of our home phone and only use our cell phones. I went to www.ShopElectricityRatesTexas.com and found out that I could save money on our energy bill. My wife began using coupons on groceries. We have also tried to limit the number of leisure drives we take in the car in order to save gas money. I believe that the housing market will pick up eventually, but it may take several years for the market to recover. In the mean time, we will continue to figure out ways to save money until I can find another career path.

Love saving money

The Author of this post is Velma Baird

I love to save money. It’s probably because when I was young, our family was very poor and could not afford much of anything. I even had a teacher who bought me a coat one winter because my parents couldn’t afford to buy me one. As I got older, I always paid attention to how much everything costs. I started working as soon as I could and was committed to save enough money to buy a house. I got married after I felt that I was financially stable enough to support a family. After 10 years of marriage and two kids, I had saved up money again to move into a bigger house. When we moved into our new house, I found the cheapest provider f or cable and internet. I have a friend who suggested I use Texas electric rate to find the best deal for energy rates. I couldn’t imagine paying full price for anything, including our utilities. My children tease be about being cheap. I usually ignore them, but I always think to myself, “They will never know what it’s truly like to live without money.”

Working too much…

Thanks for the guest post by Donn Schroeder

Although I’ve always been raised to make sure that I provide for my family financially, it’s really put a strain on my marriage how much I work. You always hear stories about the absent father that is never home, and the wife that gets irritated because said husband is never home. I never thought I’d say this- but my life has turned in to that exact same thing. My wife says that not only does she feel like we don’t spend any time together, but she said that she doesn’t feel safe in our house all by herself when it gets dark at night and I’m having to work later. In order to save my marriage, I took off a week of work to spend time with her, and also went to home-alarm-systems.COM/ to get a security system. Even though she says that there will never be a ‘me’ replacement, she appreciated the effort I put in to make her happy, and we have been doing well for the past 3 months. I know that I’ll have to continue to make my family my number one priority so I don’t lose the most important people in my life!

Can’t Load

I realized that I can’t load a paid post network anymore, after not doing so for many months. You know? The one that keeps asking people to buy gold? It’s just that I was informed that I have some offers grabbed for me, so I logged on again. :P

So, I can forget about this network once and for all.

I only work for one network now and can’t remember be bothered about the others.

New Venture

I started my first business by buying a franchise and joint venture with friends but now, I don’t think I will get another franchise again. It’s costly to get a franchise but it provides you a good start as almost everything has planned out for you, and you just need to attend some training and fork out your money and make it works.

Since we are trying to set up something new some time this year, hubby and I are thinking about starting everything on our own, by hiring a branding company. It’s still too early to shout about it, but I do hope that it will work out fine.

Let’s see how it goes.

Interior redesign

After so long, we tend to get bored with our homes. The colour scheme is too bland, the curtains are tiresome and the layout in the living room doesn’t seem to flow any longer. But if your budget doesn’t stretch to a complete remodel and your time frame doesn’t allow for painting and wallpapering the entire house, you don’t need to feel you can’t make a change. There are ways to rework existing spaces and dramatically change the look and feel of your home without getting the builders in or hiring an interior decorator.

A really easy, almost instant way to change a room is to alter the lighting. A few new lamp shades on side tables instead of wall or ceiling lights can soften a room, making it feel more sensuous and relaxing. At the same time, a dramatic, bold centre lamp hanging from the ceiling over the dining table is a simplistic way to add colour and drama to an otherwise average room.

Lighting shouldn’t stop with light bulbs. Natural lighting is crucial to opening up a room, making it feel more spacious and welcoming. Change heavy drapes or blinds for sheer muslin or light, coloured curtains. If you want to ‘dress’ a room, particularly a pale or light coloured space, adding a flash of colour at the window with eye-catching curtains is a great way to do so without so much as touching the walls.

If you do want to spruce up the walls, but lack the determination or finances to do so, then make a lasting impression on just one wall. The ‘feature wall effect’ is well tried and tested, but don’t feel like it is too passé for you to give it a try. Make the most of fireplaces and stairways, as these are great places to draw the eye to. If you lack traditional features, don’t worry, interesting angles and shapes look just as good dressed up in a patterned paper.

Soft furnishings can act as a pick me up and inject a new lease of life into your room. You can change the cushions, bedding and even sofa covers every season if you wish adding a freshness every few months.

In the bedroom, this is easily done just by remaking the bed, albeit in new colours. Bedding now comes in all colours and fabrics so you can opt for brown silk one season followed by white cotton the next.

Pricedropper offers a wide range of bedding sets as well as other essential homeware items.

Parades at Thanksgiving are great!

Guest written by our friend Jamie Gross

Thanksgiving Dinner is something that is a great thing for people to take advantage of and spend time with their families. Personally, I love the ability I have to watch my favorite Thanksgiving Parade on my Direct Star TV after dinner. My mother and father take advantage of this as well because family time is very important. Although parades are great, the most important thing during Thanksgiving is spending time with friends and loved ones. My parents divorced and I have the opportunity to see them both on Thanksgiving Day. I get to spend more time with each of them then if they were together!

The favorite food of mine during Thanksgiving is cranberry sauce and stuffing. I enjoy mixing them together and then eating turkey and gravy. These have been my favorites since childhood and I am proud to say that I will never grow out of loving them. I enjoy the talk that my family has with me and my fiancé, and the precious time that we spend together. Enjoying a holiday dinner is better than anything when you are spending the time with your family

People need to always remember that thanksgiving is not about the food and parties, but about being thankful for your friends and loved ones. For after all without them we would not be here enjoying our special times.

Blogging Job

Sorry that I’m overloading your blog feeder with dozens of posts today. I’ve grabbed some assignment which are not going to bring me any gold coins but a decent amount in USD. It’s an addict. Even if I can just reject the assignments, but I am so used to grabbing them first, and then figure out how to get them done. LOL!

I’m glad that the kids are watching TV now so that I can work in peace but not for long. I have to get them bathed again as they played outside in the evening, and they are not resting to catch their breathe. I thought of watching some series tonight but then, maybe I shall continue with my blogging job.
