A special day

One of the biggest events in anyone’s life is the day they get married. It’s a special day that everyone can enjoy. Our family has a big event coming soon and we are all excited about it. My cousin Judy will marry soon to a wonderful young man named John. We are all hoping the day will be a great memory for everyone.

The best part is that everyone will participate. My son will be one of the grooms and my daughter will be one of the bridesmaids. They can’t wait for the big event. My daughter has been looking for something to wear that will stay within our budget. She has been looking for cheap bridesmaid dresses that she likes. We believe that we have found just what we where looking for.

Another aspect of the planning is the wedding invitations. These are very important as everyone will keep them in their scrapbooks for the rest of their lives. Having ones that are memorable will help them stand out against all the other memories that will occur. This wedding is sure to be one that will remain with us for a long time. I hope everyone will be able to attend and enjoy this special moment.

For the Baby Mamas

Tomorrow is Mother’s Day, and I know that a whole lo of mothers are dealing with raising up their kids without the baby daddy helping much, if at all. I know a lot of guys who brag about having different baby mamas, but I think ti is not a good thing and noting to be bragging about. How can these guys ever be a good role model for their kids if they have to spend time with 3 or 4 different women and their different kids?

I hope if you are a baby daddy that you find a way to honor the mothers of your children tomorrow. Even if you just help your kids draw and color a homemade card that says Happy Mother’s Day – at least do something to help the kids tell their mothers they love them. Better than that, take the kids to the store and let them pick out a small gift for their moms. Its the least you can do.

Happy Easter

Easter means a lot of different things. For me, it mostly means getting together with my family for a wonderful ham dinner late in the afternoon on Easter Sunday. Dinner will be an assortment of side dishes and a variety of desserts.

This year I might try one of those Honeybaked Ham Store spiral sliced hams. I know they are very expensive, but everyone raves about how good they are. I like ham a lot, so I think I’ll go for the best I can buy this year.

Hope everyone has a nice Easter tomorrow.

Pinch Me

I knew it was Sunday when I woke up. I even remember that it was supposed to be SaintPatrick’s Day this weekend. So why did I not look for a green shirt to wear today? My brother took too much pleasure from pinching me for not wearing green today.

New Year’s Eve in Times Square

Thanks for the article from Antone Medina

Since I live in the suburbs of northern New Jersey, I always go to Times Square for New Year’s Eve. I make sure to take the day off from work and leave my house by one in the afternoon. I bundle up because being in New York City for an entire day in December is so cold. Some years I swear that it feels like icicles form on my face. Once I am dressed for the occasion, and the weather, I feed the animals, set my home security alarm from Security choice and head out for the train station. The ride into the city on the train is always exciting. People are in such a festive mood and groups of people will start singing and dancing. That is not something you usually see on a train into New York City. New Year’s Eve is my favorite holiday just for this very reason. The joy of the holiday season becomes infectious and everyone is just trying to have the best possible time. I usually meet up with a group of people at Penn Station and we have a day full of activities setup. I like to walk past Macy’s and the famous Christmas display which is usually still up. Then we all head to Times Square to get ready for the ball drop. The countdown is my favorite part.

Cool gifts

Since Christmas is over, everybody has had time to check out the gifts they got for Christmas. Some gifts are always better than others and that is the case as well this year. My kids got the best of the bargain as my son really enjoys the video game boxhead 2. He has played it constantly and it’s hard to get him to come to dinner.

My daughter also struck it rich when she received the game called age of war. She really likes it a lot and it is surprising that she likes such a game as that. I have been enjoying my gifts as well. I got some golf clubs that I am dying to try out as soon as I can get away to the golf course.

My wife also has been sporting some of the jewelry she received for Christmas. She is glad everyone liked their gifts and has been busy blogging for money on the internet. She plans to use some of the money she makes to buy birthday gifts for the kids as they will be here soon. All in all, everyone’s more or less satisfied with their gifts. It was a great Christmas and I hope that next year’s Christmas goes as well as this one did.

Happy New Year to All!

I just wanted to wish everyone a happy new year! The last year was a little tough as far as the economy is concerned but I am convinced that things are turning around. I hope that everyone will have a great year and do all the things they want to do.

I am happy that everyone in my family is healthy and doing fine. I hope we can continue the trend this year. I have a feeling that this year will be a lot better than the last and I hope is for everyone else as well.

My Must See Christmas Special

Author: Joyce Mccall

I love the holidays. I love all of the cooking. I love the decorating. What I really love is all of the Christmas specials. If I had to pick what Christmas special I would pick out of all of the rest, it would have to be Frosty The Snowman. It’s a classic and is still by far my favorite Christmas special.

You can usually catch Frosty The Snowman on CBS right after the Thanksgiving season. We anticipate it in this house! We always watch Frosty The Snowman on our direct tv satellite deals. The kids and I always curl up in our favorite blankets with our favorite snacks. You have to love how adorable Frosty is and we always get a little misty eyed when he starts to melt. It’s such a sweet story.

My daughters love Frosty The Snowman. I’m so happy for that since it’s my favorite, too. There are so many new Christmas specials coming out that sometimes they overshadow the classics. My girls would rather watch Frosty than any of the newer specials out there. If you haven’t seen it yet or you haven’t let your kids see it yet, now is the time! Let them get a little Christmas cheer from a classic.

Temptations

One thing about the holidays is that it is so easy to eat too much. There seems to be food all around our house and everywhere we visit. It doesn’t take much, a bite here and a bite there and the next thing you know you have put on a couple of extra pounds. I know this happens to me as I can’t resist all the great foods that are here. The only bad thing is that getting those extra pounds off can be difficult.

My schedule is very busy and I don’t always have time to exercise a lot. On the other hand, I am concerned about weight loss and wanted to find a way to get the pounds off. I went on the internet and found a lot of information about weight loss pills. They can be an effective way to get the results I was looking for quickly. I decided to find out which pills would help me the best.

I studied all the information I could find. I even talked to a few friends. It turns out that the best weight lose pills are available online. All you have to do is order them and they will be delivered right to your home. I feel so much better knowing I will soon be down to my regular weight. I will also be glad when the holiday food temptations are over!

Setting up the Tree

One thing our family did this week was to set up our Christmas tree. We had gotten the tree at a local stand and brought it home. Everybody lent a hand in getting it set up and we got out the decorations. We put all the lights on as well as the tinsel. Then we started with the bulbs.

After we had worked for awhile, the tree started to take shape. I held my youngest up on my shoulders so that she could crown the tree with a star. When we were done, the tree really looked good. You can even see it through the window from the street. I love this time of year and hope everyone else does as well.
