helping others and learning science

January 16, 2009

do you like helping others? always givbing what you have to help the needy. parent bloggers network has teamed up with quaker oats to spread the word of start with substance.

i always donate clothes to goodwill, and food to food banks, but i really need to do more.  my husband is persuing his degree in chemistry, so he is giving science back to our community. trust me he spends every minute he has on his research.

i don’t know if this would count but i have been helping my sister in law. she’s a single mother and has been having a lot of trouble. so thats kindof giving back.

my goals for 2009 in giving back is just donating more clothes and helping people in need i know, in my community and whatnot. It’s kindof hard to give to much, when you don’t have much yourself.

i would like to adopt a family for christmas this year if i can, or for any holiday. help with gifts food , decorations etc. thats if i can get out of this neediness myself.

a new line of healthy snacks

January 14, 2009


i’m always looking for a healthy snack, exspecially when i’m on the go with my kids. no worries though special k has a new healthy snack, thats not a breakfast.

special k has come out crackers to let you snack without feeling guilty. they come in two flavors multi grain and tomato basil

they come in a box, or you can get them in the to go pouches. a healthy snack on the run.  i like the tomato basil flavor, although it is still a little plain.

the healthy part, a serving is 17 crackers and only has 90 calories. plus each serving has 8 grams of whole grain.

me and my family are enjoying a new healthy snack thanks to mom central


windows mobile smart phone

January 13, 2009

i don’t have a cell phone, probably one of the few in the world. to me they are to costly. if i did i’d want the best of the best, internet, phones are just getting to complicated so something thats comfortable to me.

i am doing a tour with the windows mobile smartphone. i’m so excited about it, if i had a phone this is the one i’d get. it works with windows, which i have always used, so i’d be more comfortable using it.

some of the features of the window smartphone is

games, they offer over 500 game titles. perfect if your ever stuck in a waiting room or something and need to pass the time.

check my email on the phone with microsoft outlook. convienant if your on the go.

so easy to transfer pictures from your phone to your computer. i hate lugging my big camera around everywhere, so thats definitly a plus for me.

keep appointments in order with the calander.

there are a huge variety of smartphones, but i would choose the samsung omnia. it’s part of the verizon network (can you hear me now) ha! i love that commercial! the omnia is touch screen mobile phone and combines features of a smartphone and digital camera into one. once again i love, because i hate lugging my camera around. having one on my phone would be so cool! it even lets you send photos to family and friends, post online or on my blog, even crop photos.it carries a 5.0 megapixel.

so i don’t use a cellphone, but if i did i would definitly go with a windowsmobile smartphone. it’s everything i need to stay organized and keep in touch with family and friends.

for more information on the windows mobile smartphone, visit their website

thanks to mom central

a dirty house on new years is a dirty one all year

January 9, 2009

thats the way my mother always put it. so i try and organize and get everything clean after the holidays.  my main problem is we live in a apartment and my kids get to many clothes and toys for christmas.

so i always go through and get all the old broken toys and nonfitting clothes out to make room for the new.   well i stilll have a hard time parting with things though. like a special dress or toy.

getting finances back in order is a biggy to, exspecially if you have credit card debt from the holidays or something. i try and manage what i spent and then figure out what i can put towards whatever needs to be paid off.

cleaning out your refridgerator, is a must After the holidays with all the left over food.   i try and make a weekly list of leftovers and what days to eat them. i hate to waste food.

one of my biggest prioritys after the holidays is family time.  vacation ends. school starts again, work starts again etc. so trying to spend time together, before our lives become busy and hectic again.

a big thank you to parent bloggers network for making this post possible, and sc johnson for some wonderful tips on getting things back in order after the holidays
