5 Helpful Tips for Holiday Tech Shopping
All year around a different new electronic comes out that the kid's want,especially when it was just less then 2 months before that request they wanted a different one!! I wonder what is next!!As soon as i learn how to work one gadget another hit the shelfs.All the iPods and computers my kids master i have to ask them to teach me.When i see some of the prices for these items it just floors me.I have a "system" that i go by everytime i think about making a purchase for anything.I hope my 5 tips for holiday shopping helps you out.Please feel free to add to these.
- Prioritize- Is the item something that is really needed or is it something wanted? Can it fit in the budget without sacrificing a bill or another needed expence?Stick to the set budget for the item you plan to spend your money on.
- Plan- Take a few weeks and look at your Sunday Newspaper ads,scope out prices,check out if any of the Department Stores in your area offer price comparison.
- Search the Web- Join cash back sites on the internet so you can get a percentage of your cash back for your item/items.Most cash back sites offer money just to join.Read different feedback/reviews on sites that others leave about the quality of the product.
- Deals- On different holidays sales are always available.Black Friday is a good time to shop or Cyber Monday offer internet sales.Join Mommy Blogs that always post about the deals and bargains.I find alot of deals a day before the holiday or on the holiday or day after.Stores that sometime are going out of buisnss offer alot of marked down prices.
- Do your homework- Keep all reciepts,all ads if you used them for price comparison,keep up with your warrenty if you purchase one or if one is included,ask the salesman all about the item ask what the return policy is,if you put the item on layaway you want to know all the information on any fees, cancelation fees,if item goes on clearence will it get marked down while on layway,grace periods.

10 Tips for stylish layering techniques for all occasions
Im sure we all have our own different likes and dislikes about the different seasons of the year.I personally don't do well in the heat,it makes me cranky but i have no choice but to be in it at times due to where i live.As far as the winter,i try to advoid the cold especially when it snows!! When i have to go out into the heat or the cold i make sure im not only dressed to impress but im dressed to be very comfortable!!Spring time is my favorite time of the year because it's not to hot and it's not to cold!
I hope the tips that i share will be helpful to you and please feel free to leave some of yours!!!!!!
- Tank tops- These are my #1 favorite to wear any season of the year.Anyone can wear them and be comfortable.Men,woman and kids can wear them in the summer under any shirt to protect from sweating.They go great under t-shirts,sleeveless shirts,v-necks,ect. they are so thin and blend in so well.For woman they are great with covering up the lace trim of our bra's and straps.
- Vests- My son loves wearing vests!! He wears them in the warm and cold weather with the sleeves attached or he will unzip them and go sleeveless.They are so comfortable and their so easy to slip on and off.
- Turtkenecks-A turtleneck is so good to wear and they come in all different colors and styles.You can wear the turtlenecks that are sweaters,t-shirt turtlenecks that are lower down on your neck in case you don't like the feeling of having clothes on your neck.My daughter wears alot of her dresses in the winter that are turtlenecks.They keep the cold air from your chest as well.
- Long Sleeve shirts- Long sleeve can go under any type of shortsleeve or longsleeve shirt.It gives you that extra protection from the cold air.They are helpful for those who has to wear uniforms that are thin to stay warmer.It's best to wear them as a solid color.
- Wool- Wool sweaters are good to wear,if your skin is sensitive you can always wear a tang top under it or any t-shirt.I usually wear a long sleeve shirt under it with the color stciking out for the fashion look!If i get to warm it's easy to just take it off.
- Tights- For any weather tights go good under skirts,the skirt can be jean material if you would like,its all up to you.Tights also go well under those jeans everyone wears for style,they have the holes under the backside and knees.You can wear them under dresses as well.
- Solid Colors- Many different colors go well with the solid black or white colors.When you wear a solid white or black longsleeve under a bright color shirt it goes well.It's easy to find clothes that will go along with what ever color you choose.
- Double socks- In the cold weather i get cold feet inless i double up my socks to keep them warm.I double them up as well to help fit into my sneakers so they are tighter.Sometimes i buy my sneakers a bigger size so they last.Or my socks might be to long i will tuck them under my toes.
- Stomach Girdle- For those of us who has to tuck in our belly this is the perfect solution.You can purchase them with the bra attached.I like to wear them under skinny jeans and i always wear them in black to blend in with my outfit.The good thing about wearing a girdle is if your wearing one of those shirts that tie around the back of your neck it supports you with the built in bra.Any clothes that you need a strapless bra with will work with the stomach girdle.
- Bras- For those of us who love our lace bra's without the patteren showing through your clothes it's good when you wear layers of clothing.Or if you have workout clothes on you would wear a sports bra.With all the above clothes any bra would work out and still hold up good with the different layers.Again,you might want to keep the colors to black and white according to your shirt color.
Please feel free to add to this list!!

My Favorite Road Trip!!!
With being a Mother im sure you all know what it means to have children in elementry school.It's always alot to do as far as participating with all the field trips and activities that require parents to be involved in!!!!
Last year my neice had a fieldtrip to the zoo.Her mother(my sister)signed me up to be a chaperone along with her.I was excited because i love animals and i haven't been to the zoo in years.
We had to wake up at 6am to start the 3hr drive.Some of the kids choose to ride on the school bus and 6 of us choose to drive in my sisters van.We followed behind the school bus,to be safe the bus driver drove like 10 miles under the speed limit so the trip took alot longer on the road.
We had 4 kids with us in our van,we sang alot of songs and played the "I spy" game!! We didn't really get tired with all the fun games and toy's that we took along in the van.We had music,a portable dvd player and the laptop.We took turns taking pictures with the camera and shared hard candy.
We were able to talk to the bus driver with the cell phone,i couldn't believe it when she said many of the kids fell to sleep on the bus.There was so many neat things to see on the way and they were missing it all!
As my sister was driving she couldn't help but look out the window at the deer with us.We were so focused on the deer in the grass that no-one noticed the deer that took off accross the road right in between the bus and our van.My sister had to slam on her brakes,it happened so fast.Everyone was safe and in their seat belts.No-one was hurt and the deer disappeared in less then 2 seconds.
Before we knew it we were so close to the entrance.We were finally at the zoo.
It was such a fun trip!!! I look forward to going every year now!!
Are you planning a road trip?Please feel free to share your experience!
I hope that my tips for your road trip will help you as we learned them along the way!!!
- Always have your tires and brakes checked before your road trip just incase a deer might run in front of your car.Have everyone in a seatbelt as well.
- Make sure if your the driver you have your eyes on the road every second of your trip,you never know what could happen in the matter of seconds.
- Take along games and things that will keep the kids buisy.Sing different songs and use your imagination just like as you were a kid again!
- Always plan your trip with a little extra time window incase there's a need to stop at restrooms or to get a snack.

Winter safety tips-
Winter Tires are designed to deliver safety and control in snow, ice, and cold weather conditions. Many people think that all-season tires can deliver this same performance, but this is not true. The superior traction that winter tires deliver, as much as a 25 to 50 percent increase over all-season tires, can very well be the margin you need to stop in time or turn to avoid trouble.
