Business Card Printing For Everyone

It is so cute to see how my kid sister is handing out her newly designed and printed business cards to anyone that will take one. You see, she is a stay-at-home mom that was blessed with a set of twin boys, Terry and Jerry. She used to be a working woman and is having a hard time adjusting to the transition of becoming mother.

Just about every day that it isn’t raining or snowing, sis takes the boys to the park where there are a lot of other moms and dads networking amongst themselves while watching their kid(s) on the playground day after day. It seems that the business card printing industry is a big deal for these dedicated parents to hand out with all of their contact information to the other adults that they run into during their day.

Offerings of Good Drums

My sister and my niece have been staying with me for a few months now since it is more logical due to the financial crisis we both are experiencing. I only have a 2 bedroom home so my sister and I ended up making the garage into a play area or hangout area for my niece, since she has been asking about having her own space.

When we finished it up, we talked about purchasing some good dynasty drums for her to play around with since her old drum set was ruined by their dog at their previous home. I searched around on the net to see what I could find and that was suitable for her and our pockets. I came across a really cool site that offered good dynasty drums for an unbelievable prices, and was excited for my sister to see. When I finally got her to sit down and take a look, she was amazed at the prices and immediately ordered one we both thought she would enjoy.

In no time it had arrived at the house and was ready for us to set up in my nieces new hang out room. When my niece had come home from school she walked into the garage and was shocked and ran over to the drum set and immediately took to it. She is enjoying her new drum set and hang out room to the fullest. I couldn’t be any happier or more thrilled and I know my sister and niece are too without question.

Dollars and Sense

My brother-in-law is currently dabbling here and there with Stock Trading.  At dinner last night at my parent’s house the conversation was mainly concerning Online Trading, Mobile Trading and IRA Accounts. I have to tell you that most of it was way over my head. I’m surprised to find that I really don’t know all that much about the Stock Market and all of this economic business, so I’m happy to be learning about all this Online Broker business through him, he is a good guy with a good head on his shoulders.

My sister and he have been married since high school, over 20 years now and they have managed to do quite well for themselves even with the economy in such turmoil as it has been the past few years. So I’m inclined to trust him to a certain extent and am thinking about entrusting him with some of my savings to see if he can make me some much needed money. My parents are contemplating the same thing, so I hope it all goes well. If things go sour there would be much hell to pay and I’d hate to see anything come between family members and their money.

College Grants and Scholarships

My sister’s youngest son is heading on for college soon and her life is jammed full of researching colleges on the Internet and the endless filling out of forms.  She was telling me of a web site that provides free access to an extensive list of grants & college scholarship opportunities that she uses.  Our teenager and I will be confronted with the same challenges soon, that is if she makes it out of High School and believe me sometimes I really wonder.

She isn’t still 100% sure of what she wants to do with her life and I am sure there are numerous kids out there that are in the same boat.  It seems the majority of them want to become famous celebrities with lots of spending money.  So we aren’t even sure what classes to check out and it sounds like the classes for becoming a rich Super Star are going to fill up quickly.  And of course money is a huge factor so we are definitely interested in college financial aid to help ease the strain on our already strained bank account.

Big sis really has been urging  me to start checking out the processes soon and she informed me about a website that she has been using a lot that has their college scholarships and grants database updated constantly and is user friendly, which is what I need.

I never went to college so this is a whole new ballgame to me.  I’m glad that my sister is dealing with it now so that she can assist us when the time comes.  Both my sisters excel at researching on the Web and I learn so much from them, as I always have in this crazy life of mine.  I’m so grateful for both of my sisters, I don’t know what I would do without either one of them and most of my brothers are pretty awesome also!

Tee Time at Myrtle Beach Come June

My sister just called and has invited me to go with her and her husband to spend a nice relaxing long week end at one of the best Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Resorts come the end of June. They just got their tax return in the mail (crazy quick I know, right) and have decided to live it up for a change. Things have been so depressing with the economy and the extreme winter weather that we all need a nice break before we all lose our minds. Wasn’t that so cool of her to include me in on the fun in the sun at the Myrtle Beach Resort that she has made reservations at come summer!

She went online and did a quick research and found a great Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Resort that has some great golf packages to offer. We all enjoy a good game of golf now and then. Our parents got us into golfing at very early ages and it has always been a great family activity that we try and partake in as much as possible. So golfing at one of the great golf courses that Myrtle Beach is so well known for sounds wonderful!

Knowing my sister as well as I do I can imagine that she has found one of the better Myrtle Beach Resorts that they have there and we are all in for a great treat. It has been a rough couple of weeks for me at work and this is just what I need to keep me going. Thanks sis!

A Good Quality Raleigh Cleaning Service

Spending some time online looking at gift options for my sister. I think she would really appreciate a raleigh cleaning service that would come into her house and get it a good cleaning, from top to bottom. She has been very overwhelmed with the new baby and her two and a half year old, which isn’t allowing her the time that she needs to get everything done that normally she would be right on top of.

The Other Woman, Inc sounds like they would be the perfect fit for what sis needs and wants. I have heard about The Other Woman from other people and they all seem to be satisfied with them. Word of mouth is still the best way of advertising, with the Internet falling right on it’s heels. I hope that this gift from me to her will make her Christmas a good one and that we have many more Christmas holidays ahead of us all.

Blank Music Sheets

Bless her heart. My niece Feori is asking me to order her some blank music sheets at musicians friend again. Her mother is really struggling with fiances right now. Being a single mother isn’t an easy job and I like to be able to help out when I am able to. If Feori needs something that her mom can’t get for her, it’s the least I can do for her. This girl is really talented when it comes to music. We aren’t quite sure where she came up with this type of talent. No close relatives on either side can dance, sing or play any type of instrument that I can figure out.

But I do know that she is a good kid going through a tough time and if music keeps her busy, happy and out of trouble, I’m right there with her on that. Now all I have to do is figure out what I am going to get her for Christmas.

Paid Online Surveys

Both of my sisters have been looking for various ways to make an extra buck during this economic crisis that we have found ourselves right in the middle of, with no light being seen at the end of the tunnel. My youngest sister has started walking dogs for a working neighbor that just purchased two adorable German Shepard puppies that are being kept in their crates all day. It’s not much money, but it all adds up and she really enjoys dogs, so it is a win win situation for them both.

My oldest sister has taken to doing paid surveys online, which sounds pretty interesting. She has found a website by the name of Getpaidtotry.com that has you take surveys of 250 words plus in order to be paid from 20 cents up to $50, which is nice chunk of change, wouldn’t you say? So my sister is spreading the word around for others to check out this offer to complete surveys, which can be done at your convenience right from home, and I’m thinking of registering myself. I have been known to cooperate with most surveys that I’ve been asked to participate in, so I might as well get paid for my efforts along the way. And since I spend a good amount of time at my computer it wouldn’t be an inconvenience for me one bit.

I’ll let you know what I find out and how it is all going. Wish me luck!

Sexual Harassment Attorney In The San Diego Area

It breaks my heart to keep hearing the same old story from my youngest sister, who moved all the way across the county and eventually landed in the San Diego California area. She has had the worst luck finding a job. Nothing comes cheap in the entire state of California, much less the San Diego area and if you don’t have a decent income, things can spiral deep down before you can even bat an eye. You want the great weather, you got to pay dearly for it!

Once she finds a job, it doesn’t last long. Each time she is complaining that it is some form of sexual harassment. She is a beautiful girl and she does bring a lot of attention to herself, but a girl has got to draw the line some where before she ends up searching online for the best san diego sexual harassment attorney that there is and take this nonsense to an entire different level for once.

I say a prayer for her every night before I lay my head down, along with a long list of close family and friends.

A New Baby In The Family Expected in August

My sister Jenny is expecting their fourth child in August and she is just now starting to show her baby bump. You would think that since she already had three kids that being pregnant would be almost old hat by now. But this pregnancy was not exactly planned. It was a nice surprise. Jenny is a great mom and she loves doing things with her kids. After her last baby almost five years ago, she thought it WAS her last baby so she gave away all her maternity clothes. Now she needs to move out of regular clothes and into maternity clothes and money is really tight, so my family is going to pitch in and help her buy several things so she has nice clothes to wear to work.

As important as it is to have some nice work clothes to wear Monday through Friday, we also need to start looking for baby items as well. Yard sales and Flea Markets are always a great way to get a good amount of baby related items. But there are some things that are better off being bought brand new. And course there will be a couple of baby showers being held that will help out with numerous items as well. They will most likely through her one at work and of course friends and family will be planning on one as well, so that will help out with a lot of things for her and the baby. This is so exciting, we haven’t had a new baby in the family in quite a few years!
