Gimos Kidwear is the place where the boys got these adorable shirts. In the photo you can’t tell put the striped shirts have a sketch of a dinosaur on them, that is just so cute! Gimos Kidwear is so adorable, I wish I could stock the boys closet with everything in their line of clothing. I really had a hard time choosing which shirt I wanted the boys to wear together but finally the stripes won my heart.
Another thing that I am blessed for is finally finding a belt for my son, Pnut. He is forever pulling up his pants and until now I could never find a belt that would fit him. Gimos has kid’s belts in their accessories category if you are in the market for one for your kids too. I can not tell you how happy Pnut was to finally have a belt like his big brothers. He wore that belt with so much pride!
Budgeting is a huge thing in our family. I am so thankful that I have budget software to keep me organized and focused. Budgeting although never easy is something that everyone should practice. If you don’t have budgeting software I would suggest finding one that works for you. I know many of you stay at home moms already live on a pretty tight budget and with budgeting software you can see exactly where your finances are going, where you need to pinch some pennies, and where you need to save a few. Budgeting has been nothing but a life saver for me. I have been doing it since I learned how to balance a checkbook. If I can recommend anyone to try something new in their homes it would be to create a budget.
You may have a husband or someone that you know in your family that is a construction worker. Putting in cables is what they do. If this is the case then you might want to consider passing on this website for CAT5e to them. I do not know much about this subject but I do know that for some people this is their life. There are many more people in the world more knowledgeable about this subject that I am. But this is a website to pass on valuable information to people that might need it. So if this is your cup of tea, have fun with it.
Many of you may be out there thinking of developing a line of makeup, skin care, or perhaps something else. Developing the product is the hardest part. After development you will need some sort of clinical laboratory service to help make sure that the product that you created is right for the market. Once testing is complete you can start marketing and shopping your product all over the place.
Moving is such a daunting task. I hate moving, I hate the thought of moving, I hate the process of moving. But alas despite how much we hate moving most of us will move several times in our lifetime. When it comes to buying a home and finding the right mortgage for that home we can often times become too overwhelmed with the task. Finding the right mortgage lenders is also equally important. Make sure you find a lender that you feel comfortable with and someone that you can trust.
Starting a business is never easy especially if you are in the technology business. If you are in the technology business you know just how much all that techy equipment can cost you one pretty penny. Trust me, I’ve been there. Have you ever thought about buying used equipment? Do you know how much money you could save if you bought used cisco instead of new? A ton! Used is typically the way that I go with just about everything that I own. Who cares if someone else used it before you, if it works then the more power to using used!
Congratulations to….

For winning the four $20 Smoothie King Giftcards. I know I am a little late officially announcing the winners which is due in part because of my frantically packing up my house for moving in a week. But never fear all winners have been notified and should receiving their prizes soon. I will be having more contests soon after I get up and running at my new home.
Dressing up that boring toilet seat of yours can be quite a task. Sure there are those fluffy covers that your grandmother uses but what if there was something more interesting, more up to date, more fun!
Actually there is and it is called Toilet Tattoos. What are toilet tattoos you may ask. Think of it like a giant sticker for your toilet seat. You know those clingy window things we all put on our windows come holiday time. It is like one of those but it adheres to your toilet seat. The best part is that they are completely removable and reusable so you can change out the design as often as you change your clothes if you really wanted to.
Check out the Toilet Tattoos website to see what designs they have available.
This has been a much anticipated review, I’m sure. The Sony Alpha DSLRA300K 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera with Super SteadyShot Image Stabilization with DT 18-70mm f/3.5-5.6 Zoom Lens is the camera that I received while attending the Sony Mommy Blogger Event. I have never used a DSLR before so I can firmly say that learning to use the Sony Alpha over the past few months has been nothing but effortless. The camera just takes absolutely amazing pictures! Along side the Sony Cybershot, I have all the cameras I need at this very moment. I haven’t even bought any new lenses for the Sony Alpha yet, so all of the photos that you see are taken with the original lense that the camera came with.
The Sony Alpha DSLR is one of the first camera’s with a tilting live view finder that I love using to take low angle shots or to take photos way up high. The Sony Alpha is great for taking professional looking photos of the kidlets or artistic photos of still life. If you have been thinking of upgrading from a point & shoot camera to a DSLR, I would HIGHLY recommend the Sony Alpha not just because I attended the Mommy Blogger Event but because this camera continues to blow me away each and every time I use it.
Below are a few examples of the photographs that I have taken using my Sony Alpha…


These are just a few examples of what the Sony Alpha can do with the default lense, you can view more photos on my flickr page.
One mom blogger who attended the event, put it this way concerning her former love for her Canon DSLR…
“Its like I went away for the weekend and I had an affair. I don’t know how to tell my old camera how I feel about my new love.”
Many women who were more experienced with DSLR camera’s couldn’t stop raving about how well the Sony Alpha performed and how they will never go back to their old DSLR’s. In internet speak….
Do you use a DSLR? If so what kind and why?
Are you thinking about purchasing a DSLR in the future? What options are you considering?
