Ohgoodness!!
Posted on December 12, 2011I have cupcakes on the brain! 
I eat , sleep, drink, breath cupcakes lately. Not a bad thing if you like cupcake, which I do! I am constantly looking up cupcakes on this site and that site. Here an there and everywhere. I and always talking about my cupcake business this and my cupcake business that. My poor husband has just about had it I think. He is such a patient man.
I’ve been talking to my ‘business partner’ and we giggle like school children (which is funny because she is a freshman in high school and I am in my thirties not a freshman in high school, hahahaha) about how we want to get a little shop and decorate it all cute in hot pink and have everything ‘cupcake’. From the curtains to the switchplate covers.
Yeah, you read that right. They make cupcake switchplate covers, pretty wild, huh? That’s what I thought , too! So, the next step for us is to go and see a man about a license and see what all that entails. Just because some day I wanna do more than just person to person sales out of my kitchen (I’m happy to do that for now, but some day…) I’m hoping and praying it only entails a little paperwork and a little elbow grease and not a lot of $$ cause that I don’t have a lot of.
So, some prayers would be appreciated and if you’d like to help in the $$ department, I’d be happy to give you my PayPal address
Thanks for Stopping By!
Cool Stuff You Have to Have! (OR Not)
Posted on December 09, 2011I came across something today that I thought was interesting. Coins. Not just any coins, though. I have heard of collector’s coins before. Silver coins. Gold coins. Uncirculated coins. Proof sets. The list goes on and on.
One thing I’ve never heard of before, personalized coins. Yes, that’s right, you can buy coins that have just about anything on them. Of course, you can’t spend them. They are obviously for collecting purpose’s only.
I thought for all those genealogy buffs out there it might cool to get your family crest on coins and give them to your family for Christmas gifts or something fun like that.
What are you buying this year for Christmas for your loved ones?
She Did Not Just Say That!
Posted on December 06, 2011One thing I’m glad I don’t need to worry about any more is being pregnant. I am done having babies. Thank the Good Lord! Don’t get me wrong, I love babies. As long as you can cuddle and love them and then hand them back to their mother!
But one thing I find a little irksome is that back in the day when I would have found plus size maternity clothes helpful, you couldn’t really find them anywhere. Not ones you wanted to wear anyway. You could find plenty of them with loud, wild prints that made you look as big as the side of a barn, but who wants to look like that?
Now I can find really cute clothes that make me look like the radiant mother-to-be that I am (if I was) and not just some bigger-than-a-barn heifer who can’t keep her hand out of the cookie jar! Yeah, I just said that, for real!
So, go get yourself some cute looking maternity clothes, or not, it’s your choice… 
See Ya!
Saving a Penny…
Posted on December 05, 2011Sometimes you get what you pay for. Sometimes you don’t. Let me explain. There are times where it pays to spend more on something. Jewelry, for example. Going from 14K gold to 10K gold isn’t really going to make a huge difference in the look of a piece. The value will go down as will the cost. If you trying to save a little money, it’s an easy way to do so, without really comprising the integrity of your purchase. You’re still getting a nice item. If you have some kind of allergy to cheaper metals, this won’t work for you (my MIL can’t wear anything less than 14K gold).
On the other hand, sometimes you don’t want to buy cheaper jewelry. My husband bought me one of those pretty mother rings from a local retail store and the stones kept falling out. We kept taking it back and they kept replacing them. They didn’t give us any problems about replacing them, but finally I just returned it and got my money back. But for the record, The ring wasn’t that cheap! We spent the same amount you would anywhere else you would buy the same ring! (Okay, maybe not quite as much, but still)…
The point is, some things (flour, sugar, butter, some soups, some jewelry, some pasta, napkins, etc,) you can buy random inexpensive brands or whatever happens to be on sale at the store when you are there. Other things (chocolate, cream soups, certain pastas, eggs, lunch meats, etc) you have certain brands that you buy because they are known to produce a good quality product!
Thanks for stopping by, Catch Ya Later!
Rewards Cards
Posted on December 01, 2011Rewards cards are a really good way to #1 save money, as you can often get a percentage off on purchases and #2 earn rewards on the purchases you are making. Depending on the type of card you get, you can earn different rewards.
Some cards give you cash back. Some give you gas. Some cards offer merchandise as rewards. Whatever you choose, you are sure to find something to your liking.
More often than not these cards have no annual fee to worry about and they even offer fraud protection. And, you can get a great low introductory rate on all your balance transfers from other cards to one of these reward cards!
Some friends of ours make almost all their purchases on a rewards card from a major retail store. Each time they buy something they earn points which they can spend on things in the store. When they get enough points they go and spend them in the store or online). So basically every time they buy gas, groceries, toilet paper, they are earning points to buy Christmas and Birthday presents or whatever else they want to spend their points on!
It’s great! I need to get one of these!!
What Would You Spend Your Money On?
Posted on November 30, 2011I’ve been thinking. Dangerous, I know. Teehee. We have our house up for sale and I think it would be nice for the hubs and the daughter and I to be able to spend a little of the money we get when we sell it on ourselves for whatever we want. Not a lot but just a little bit.
So, I was trying to come up with what I would spend a little bit of money on if I could. Anything I wanted. Would I spend it on make up? purses? jewelry? unlisted shoes? And then it hit me! I know exactly what I will spend my money on!!
I am going to spend money on my new cup cake business!! I need so much stuff for it! I need boxes (for transporting from parties) and carriers (for transporting to parties) and a new bowl for my mixer and….the list goes on and on, and I’ll get it all… little by little!
Life is Good , I am Blessed and I hope you are too friends,
BBBBRRRR…..
Posted on November 18, 2011I always struggle when it turns cold as to how I am going to get my exercise in because not only am I lazy but I also don’t like the cold. so, it’s really a double whammy. It’s not good at all.
A friend of mine from Montana used to own a pair of redfeather snowshoes. She would walk all over in the winter time with them. Just for fun. And exercise. I always thought that was a cool way to get exercise in the winter. That and cross country skiing. I’ve done that before, But I’ve never used snow shoes. I think that would be fun.
HHHmmm…now I wanna see my friend, and go to Montana, and go snow shoeing…
OK, TTYL!! BYE!
Blind In One Eye and Can’t See Out Of The Other
Posted on October 19, 2011I cannot believe I am sounding more and more like an old person every day, I swear! Not only sounding like one, but looking like one, too. And acting and feeling like one.
I find myself having aches and pains that I didn’t have before. Saying things I didn’t say before. Did you read the title of this post, for the love of Pete? Or that last sentence?!?
What is this world coming to? The other day I was reading the ingredients on the back of a can and I had to hold it like 2 feet away from my face to read it, like a little old lady. Next thing you know I’ll be buying a pair of those hideous reading glasses off the end cap at the local drug store. You know the tortoise shell ones, or the bright multi-colored ones, made to look like stained glass.
It’s all becoming so clear to me. I’m.Getting.Old.People. and I do.Not.Like.It.One.Bit. but what can I do, its better than the alternative, I guess.
Carry On…
BBBRRRR….
Posted on October 18, 2011So I heard that since we had such a nice summer, we are in for a really bad winter. Did anyone else hear this? I heard it is supposed to get really super cold and we are in for a lot of snow.
Of course, I heard that about last year, too and it wasn’t that bad. So, I guess we’ll see. I mean, we got snow, but I don’t remember it being all that terrible compared to years past.
I am going to be prepared though. I’m gonna go get me some of these really cool heated gloves I found online. Those will keep me warm all winter!! Gonna have to stock up on batteries, though…
Carry On
Money Is No Object?!?
Posted on October 12, 2011Do you ever just get online and “window shop”? Just pretend that you’ve got money burning a hole in your pocket? I do that sometimes. I like to pretend that I can have anything I want and money is no object.
If only that were true…
I came across some pretty sweet michael kors watches I wouldn’t mind tucking away in my jewelry box. Although some of them are pretty expensive, they look like they are pretty well made and they do have a free shipping offer!! Might make a nice gift for that special someone in your life??
As always dear friends…
Need a Computer?
Posted on October 07, 2011Those of you who know me know that I am all about saving money and getting the best deal I can! When you are living on a very limited budget, you don’t really have a choice but to be about saving money. But even if I wasn’t on a limited budget, I would be about saving money! Because really, why would I spend more than I have to!
I know some people have the mentality that “Hey, I have the money, why not spend it?” Um, NO!! That is not me! I am all for saving money anywhere and everywhere I can.
So, when I asked a friend of mine, “where can I find the latest laptops?” He told me about looking on some of the top online sites. So, of course, I got right online and looked and sure enough, I found lots of them, and for some pretty good prices. So, if you are in the market for a laptop, just follow the link!! I think they probably have what you’re looking for!
You’re Welcome! And as always…
Gifts…
Posted on October 05, 2011I love personalized gifts. Simply love them. Because they are personal.
They say, “I thought about YOU when I bought this gift.” It’s all fine and good to buy someone a random gift and I’m all for the gift card. There is a time and a place for every gift. but a personalized gift is just…..special.
I like to peruse this one site where you find different kinds of gifts. Everything from personal retirement gift ideas to baby gifts. They have shirts, mugs, golf balls, a little of this and a little of that, it’s great.
Hey! Maybe I’ll find something for the boy for his birthday there!!
