Zenni Optical

The holiday season is right around the corner, and I'm sure like many people...I'm not the only who is trying to save every penny I can. With the economy the way it is right now....it's so important to spend wisely! Whether it be gifts you're buying, or items you're buying for yourself.....watching what you spend is one way to make sure that this hard financial time doesn't get too tough.

One way that I've started to cut spending in our household is a very simple way....using more coupons! I never used to use any....but now with money more tight and things more expensive....I find myself cutting as many coupons as I can. Myself, and my husband also find that we are willing to do little things that will help us to make more money...like taking surveys, etc. Every little bit extra helps immensely! Finally....the third thing we do is simply look for deals on items we would normally buy. For instance, I am currently in need of new prescription eye glasses. I've looked and looked, and the absolute best prices I find is with ZenniOptical.com. They sell the stylish glasses I'm looking for right online...starting at only $8!! Isn't that great? I can't help but appreciate their low prices and good quality, as it really is one way to help us save money and still have the things we need! I have enjoyed looking through their huge slection of frames and styles.

If you're looking to save money in these difficult times....yet need important items like eyeglasses....check out Zenni Optical who wants to help you!

One Year Old!

Today is Kaelyn's birthday...I can't believe she is one year old already! It's so crazy how quickly the time goes. It honestly feels like yesterday that we were in the hospital and holding her in our arms. Although today is her birthday, tomorrow is the day we're celebrating her birthday with a party with some family. It should be a really fun time...I'm sure looking forward to it! Today we're going to have a relaxing but fun day with Kaelyn with some gift oepning! I'm sure she'll really enjoy that! We'll be sure to post pictures very soon!

Allegro Medical

Whether it's a breast feeding pillow, a blood pressure monitor or even Pediasure, Allegro Medical has it all...and right online! They are one of the largest independent online retailers for life enhancing products in the US. They have been around for over 12 years and serve over 1 million customers. I was pleased to see that they offer products pertaining to nutritional supplements, exercise equipment and even baby supplies. These are definitely categories that I could find a great deal of items in. Searching through their site I found it to be very easy to use which is one reason I'm passing their site along. Allegro Medical is definitely worth checking out if you'd like to learn more about them and the medical supplies that they offer.

The Doctors

Recently I have been watching a new show called The Doctors. I find it to be very informative and educational. I really like that they have different opinions on there....as it is far more realistic than some of the other shows like this that I've seen before. They talk about all kinds of great topics....whether it be acne treatment, vaccinations, women's health, or men's health...they have it all for every kind of viewer. If you've never seen it, you really should. It's very interesting!

Wednesday Night

I love Wednesday nights...it's always a reminder that the weekend is almost here! Only a couple of more days and we'll be celebrating Kaelyn's birthday and having her party. I'm really excited. I'm sure being so busy the weekend will go by quite quickly...but that's ok....every minute of it will be so much fun!! It will be great to get the family together and celebrate her first birthday! I think she'll really enjoy it too.

Black Friday is Coming!

Black Friday is a shopping day I'm really looking forward to. I do every year, but this year more than ever. We have more people to shop for this Christmas season and I need to find the best deals possible! As many people know, this is the day to do that! If you've never been shopping on the Friday after Thanksgiving...you really must! It's the best possible day to get all those great holiday gifts. This year I'm hoping to plan ahead and get all the ads so I know exactly what I'm looking for. I think with all the crowds of people...it's good to know what you want so you can get in and out.

Recently I came across a site, iblackfriday.com, that makes it possible to see the blackfriday ads. They also offer email alerts to let people know when the ads have been posted. What I like best about this site is that it's a very user friendly site and makes planning easier.

It may sound a bit selfish, but the first thing on my list to find a cheap deal for is a camera. Just yesterday our camera broke and we are desperate to find a new one before the holidays. Since they are quite expensive, we have thought about waiting until Black Friday...as we know they will have outstanding deals! I'm hoping there will be some Best Buy Deals.

George Foreman Grill Review Coming Soon!

Yeah, I'm so excited!!! A couple of weeks ago I found out that was going to have the opportunity to review a new George Foreman grill!! As a busy stay at home mom...I am happy to have any thing that will make cooking easier and more healthy for my family. I really feel that this grill will do that and am SO excited to get it in the mail. I am not sure which grill it is, but anything made by George Foreman is sure to impress! I would guess it should be coming in the next few days probably. I will let you know what it's like coming from a parent's point of view in a video review...so stay tuned!!

Drug Rehab

Have you ever heard of Promises Treatment Center before? I hadn't until just recently, but was impressed with what they do and wanted to pass it along for others who might be interested! They hep to provide a place for those looking and seeking for sobriety. If you or a loved one is in need of a treatment center that brings hope and healing, and best drug rehab...this is the place to look. They take their position very seriously and only have your best interest in mind. Learn more by visiting their site today! You won't be sorry you did!

Snow on the ground...

I can't believe that there is still snow on the ground!! Yesterday on our way home from my brothers, we ran into quite the little blizzard. It was almost white out conditions in some places, and sleet like you wouldn't believe. It was not nice and I was very relieved to be home. Now, this morning I wake up and find more snow on the ground. It hasn't all melted away yet, but hopefully by the end of the day it will. It can't be winter yet...it's not even November!

Giving to Charity

There are a lot of great sites out there these days, and I recently came across one. Have you ever heard of www.agoodcause.com before? I hadn't until just recently, but am so glad I happened to come across it! They are a global partnership between 700 NGO's like Save the Children, Red Cross and many others!! I respect this site and what they do very much. They want to help with animal welfare and human rights....and overall just make the world a better place! Who doesn't want that, right?!? So how do they do this you ask? Well, they allow shoppers online to support their favorite charities. It's really simple when you work with this site, because all you have to do is download the AidMaker software and the rest is automatic. Basically you can support your favorite chairty for free. The retailer of the online store you're shopping at will donate some of what you pay to your charity. Isn't that great? I thought it was very impressive. If you'd like to learn more about them as I did....check out their site today!
