Breast Cancer Facts
How are you with Breast Cancer Facts? As it turns out I’m NOT very good with breast cancer facts! Did you know that breast cancer is second only to lung cancer?? I had no idea! Did you know that if detected early with stage 0 you have a 100% survival rate with treatment? Stage II a 98% survival rate with treatment. The survival rates are the lowest for the 1V (level 4) patients. It’s so very IMPORTANT to do a monthly self exam!! EVERY MONTH!!! See your doctor once a year!! Get your mammogram as ordered by your doctor!! I found some of the myths and facts really interesting:*Cancer of the…

Girls CAN DO it!!!
I absolutely love THIS video!! This young lady at age 12 started building her dream car from SCRATCH!!!!!!!!!!! Now at 14 years old and a true inspiration!! This video brings back such great memories of DH and our oldest Selena rebuilding her Suzuki’s transmission. They were a greasy mess from head to toe!! They did such an amazing job! Selena beamed with pride. It is so important to teach girls they can DO anything they want to!! I believe that we should teach our children equally!! Girls AND boys should know how to change a tire, check their oil, cook, laundry and clean. Of course, I also wish I would…

United States Flag!! Long may it wave!
The United States flag flies out front of our house and has for years. What I don’t understand is why is it so hard to find United States Flag? I live in Southern California it’s not like I’m over seas. Shouldn’t American Flags be one of those things that are easy to find? When we finally find retailer that sells flags, we usually buy a couple. We do not want a ratty tattered flag out front. I finally got smart and started looking on line for American Flags. A HA!!! Why wasn’t I looking on line to begin with?? I found the site I will be buying our flags from now on!!…

Cafe Escapes! YUM!!
It would have been polite of me to ask if you would like a cup… but…. well, the first one was soooo tasty I drank them all. The Cafe Vanilla is heaven! You don’t add anything and it’s better than that Star place! Soooo much cheaper too. (Not to mention that I didn’t have to change out of my pj’s and slippers) The Hot Cocoa? Ohhhhh man!! I didn’t even miss the little bitty marshmallows. Rich and creamy and available in both dark chocolate and milk chocolate. Not too sweet either. YUM!! Cafe Caramel, again, don’t add anything. This is a coffee shop How about a Chai Latte? Black tea…

Miele Vacuums
Does anyone else think that appliance’s take a suicide pack?? I’m sure the appliance’s in our house have. First the washer, then my car tire. (I’m so talented I got not one, not two but THREE nails in the same tire yesterday!! Yup new tire on order, because of course they don’t carry that tire in stock! So now no car till Tuesday!! (I’ve never wanted to go somewhere… anywhere more in my life!) So anyway, the vacuum gets wind of all the chaos and now it’s time to look for a new vacuum. There are a lot of vacuums out there. I think you can get any color, any…

Diet Diet DIET……..
I hate to diet. It’s so hard to lose weight and it really seems harder to lose the older I get. Yes, I know the basic rules eat less, move more. But, I’m weak and lazy. I’m always looking for help! (I’m also trying to find any store that doesn’t have a Girl Scout in front of it!! I’m a sucker for those Tag-a-longs. Girl Scout cookie time does me in!!) As I was saying I need help to loose weight. So I started searching the blogs and bulletin boards for hints and tips from other dieters. I found a site that had great things to say about calcium pyruvate. What I…

Wedding Favors
Planning a wedding is a stressful deal when you’re trying to save money!! It’s easy to get carried away with all the bright and shiny things. I know… I’m famous for my impulse buys! Seriously! ME? Shop by the list alone?! NEVER!! I stumbled on a wedding favors site tonight that is beyond A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!! The prices are jaw dropping low. Some items that I never even knew existed like embossed décortive wedding cake boxes. What a great idea!! You could use it as a favor box or get rid of all the extra cake. When DH and I were married we had WAY too much cake left over… who did we…

Who loves Elmo!? WE DO!!!
Yes, it’s Elmo over load….. we LOVE ELMO!! I’ve told you this before if Alice could drive, Elmo would have a restraining order against her. To say Alice LOVES ELMO, is an understatement!!!!!!! We have a lot of Elmo related things around the house…. (in the car, in the garage, in the bathtub….) Except… I’ve been searching high and low for an adult size Elmo t-shirt!!! Thank you TVStoreOnLine.com not only did I find the PERFECT Elmo t-shirt… but it’s an extremely well made t-shirt. This Elmo t-shirt is perfect, 100% cotton, pre-shrunk and licenced by Sesame Street! The neck opening isn’t one of those tight fitting, stranglers. I truly hate a tight…
