Healthy Holiday Eats

Thanksgiving is rolling around the corner and now is the time that I start gathering recipes to make sure that my menu plan goes into fill effect. This year I am going to try to take most of my dishes and make them as healthy as I can make them. For instance, one of our fave dishes to have during the holidays is lasagna. As delicious as it is, it is so easy to pack on the pounds with all that pasta. Now of course I am hoping that the same things doesn't happen this year once I'm cooking where wee needed some work done on our pipes, I'm going to tell hubby be sure to keep tap and die on speed dial just in case. This year I am going to try eggplant or zucchini as noodles and cook it as I usually do. Try it and you wont even miss the pasta.

Diet And Alcohol Drinks

Are there such a thing as a diet friendly drink? Let's say you go out with friends and you want to enjoy a drink, you don't want to be left out so you drink water or something similar. Well you don't have to. Wine is actually a drink that most dieters can enjoy besides light beer. If you are going to have alcohol, be sure that you drink small amounts and of course drink responsibly.

Beach House Rentals for Fun

We love to travel and about 2 years ago we got one of those rentals and it was a great moment for us, the kids had so much fun and the hubby and I had a blast. We decided to plan something and soon, and this time we are thinking about beach house rentals destin fl. When looking up information online about it, it sounds like everything that we need to relax, these past few months have been so hectic for us and we just need to relax. If you are looking for a great getaway with relaxing fun, be sure to check out and book you and your family one of these great rentals.

Halloween Shopping

I swear that almost every year it seems that we make plans to get costumes but then change our minds only to get something last-minute. This has happened the last couple of years. Ao this time, with Halloween only a couple of weeks away, we made sure that we knew what we wanted. We want a theme so it will most likely be superheroes which is always a hit and super easy to find the costumes in various shops. One of the many reasons why I love online shopping is that it is helpful for last-minute shopping with out the crown hassle!

Protective Outdoor Cushions

For the longest time we have always moved our outdoor furniture inside whenever we thought the weather was going to change, or even just keep it in most of the time, which kind of defeated the whole outdoor furniture part. This was because of being worried about getting the cushions soaked and how hard it would be to get it dry and back to its form. Well we found to that we can actually get cushions specifically made for this and not have to worry about it. You can have it delivered cut or cut the foam yourself to fit your furniture wit the outdoor cushion. How awesome is that? Now we do not have to worry about getting it wet and constantly bringing it indoors to avoid the wet weather.

Purchasing Art Supplies

One of the things that I have always been interested as a kid is getting into drawing and painting. I remember getting home from school and watching Bob Ross on the screen and just being so amazed at what he can do. Now of course I would need a few lessons but find out I can learn online as well. I know where to get my art supplies to help me get started and you better believe I will make sure that I have what I need and more. I cant wait to see what I am capable of doing since this is something I have been wanting to try for ages.

Plus Size Shopping Online

I notice that many women are always complaining that there are not enough shops for all their plus size needs, the ones that are in the department stores are usually shared with regular size clothing and the styles are frumpy looking, no one wants that! Thats why onestopplus.com is a great site with the latest fashion in accessories and clothing. Check it out or send the link to someone who is interested.

Cheap Jewelry Online

I love jewelry because I enjoy having nice things that I can accessorize with. Another great reason to purchase jewelry online cheap is because they make great gifts for that special someone in your life no matter who they may be or the occasion, I saw some really great earrings that my mother will enjoy and thinking about making it a birthday or christmas gift. Either way I know she will love it and the prices on these jewelry are insanely cheap and affordable.

Father's Day Gift Ideas

With father's day around the corner, what will you get that special guy this time around? I find that each person is different, for instance what my dad likes is not the same as my hubby or father in-law. The best way to do it is to find out what they are into and try to get something that pertains to that.

Perfect gift with ipod touch

I enjoy shopping for others especially for the holiday season. the best way to do it is to have it done months before. Have it planned out and shop inline for great deals. Waiting to shop later on will often leave you with stress and wondering what to get your friends and loved ones their gifts at last-minute. This year, the ipod touch is on my list for many of my friends. They love the apple products and this will be a great gift for anyone of any age that enjoys music because no matter what genre you listen to, you can have your playlist at the touch of your hands. This is a great gift for the holiday season.

Casablanca 70th 3-disc set

This such a great gift for anyone who is a fan of casablanca. This is one of the many reasons that I love the warner bros website because they have so many deals and ways to save on some of the many popular products we are a fan of. If you know someone who would enjoy this, go ahead and get this for them.

Fancy Home furniture

I love fixing up my home with new furniture pieces because the compliments I get when I welcome people in our home is just a great feeling. I think that buying a few pieces at a time while focusing on certain rooms is a great way to go. I need to change the dining room and going for a classy look with Thomasville help. I have bookmarked the site and already getting many ideas of what I want and when to start. I find that fixing up the home to make it your dream home is so relaxing and very rewarding once everything has come together the way you imagined.

Celebrities and Twitter

I do not have a twitter but I do however give a glance when it makes headlines on forums and such. Twitter is a great tool to keep in touch and I guess tweet everything that you are doing...but many celebrities show just how stupid they truly are. I have seen music artist such as rihanna curse out fans..granted the so called fan started it but hey you are a celeb, have some class. yeah I know they are human too but acting in such ways is is not professional. Twitter has made me see hoe truly dumb..because many of them cannot spell, and classless they are.

Touring Texas

Thanks for the guest post by Donn Schroeder
My youngest daughter now lives in Tyler, Texas. It is a small town in the northeastern part of the state. She is a long way from her Georgia roots, but at least she is still in the south. My daughter is a GRITS – a girl raised in the south, and having been raised in a much larger city than Tyler, she initially had a difficult time adjusting to life there. Her husband is an attorney, and his father wanted him to come back to be a part of his firm. They are in their early thirties and have not started a family yet. Both are career minded. My daughter works from home with an internet business. So, her main concern, when they decided to relocate, was that she would have high speed internet service there. Her in-laws sent her toSATELLITESTARINTERNET.COMto ease her mind and she had a connection at home the day they moved in. I am anxious to visit her, as I have not been to Texas. I know the state is very large and I would have to travel a lot to see the major cities but I hope to be able to do that.

Save money and eat less meat

Meat has been so expensive these days and we find that eating less of it or eating a couple of meatless dishes per week has helped us save. What we do is make meat the side dish instead of the main. It is so cool to find recipes and make during the week that we can cook that does not involve meat.

Purchasing Gold Coins Online

My friend was telling how her husband has been looking into purchasing gold coins and bouillon and I never really gave it much thought until I found out how much of a profit it would be. This site also lets you buy and sell which many people are looking to do now. If you are interested in buy gold coins, check and see what they have to offer, there is a nice selection of bars and coins that buyers would like.

Making a List and checking it-twice!

A list of what you have that is. I like to make a list of everything that we have in the pantry and this saves money because you will not be left saying something like " I know I have this" and can't find it, buy another and find the original. Whenever you go food shopping make a list of what you bought, what you plan to use it for and so on.

Family Guy

Guest post of the week by Bradley Guthrie

One thing that I really don’t get is adult cartoons. This really boggles my mind. Why would an adult want to watch an animated show about basically nothing but silliness? As it turns out many adults like to do that and we have evidence in that fact with The Simpsons and Family Guy. I have seen The Simpsons and don’t really care for them but Family Guy is a little different. IT is quite funny and they talk about subjects that you wouldn’t expect coming from a cartoon. There is a baby on the show named Stewie who talks and sounds like a grown man but is actually a baby. The dog whose name is Kevin also talks and walks on his hind legs like a human. Stewie and Kevin have all kinds of meaningful conversations like how to pronounce Cool Whip among other things. On one episode Stewie sits by his mom on the bed and repeatedly says “mom, mommy, mom” until she finally screams “What?!?” at him. To which he replies, “hi.” Check your DirecTV listings.

Fitness and eating right

many seem to forget that when you do start a fitness routine, it's not jut about the workouts, it's also about eating healthy as well. Many people will go to the gym and grab a burger afterwards because they think they should reward themselves for an hour worth of workouts. Not only did it defeat the purpose, but now you will have to workout maybe twice as much to burn what you just ate.

Purchasing a Jogging Stroller

This is just one of those inventions that you know a mommy came up with and it's how beneficial these strollers are. I didn't have one with my first kid, but with the others, I decided to get a jogging stroller so that I could be in shape while also getting my baby some fresh air. I love it and every mommy should get one. We do need to keep in shape if we want to keep up with them as they get older because they will make us exhausted, trust me I know, but with one of these, it makes it easier to get around and go for a little run with your little one.

Stylish Switch Plate Covers

I have never been interested in switch plate covers until I landed on that site and saw how many different varieties there are available. There are so many styles and designs to choose from its like shopping for a new toy. I am getting a couple for my kids room and of course a nice funky looking one for our room. This can make all your switches stand out and give it life again instead of those plain standard colors.

AMC's The Walking Dead

This one of AMC's series that I have to admit I enjoy so much. I thought it was going to be your typical zombie bring show, but it is so much more and because of that I tune in whenever it airs. If you love shows or movies where it's about what would you do to survive in the case of an out break, this show will let you see what its like to survive, or try to survive.

Crime Dramas

Written by Sonny Quinn

I have direct Tv at home and I watch way more crime dramas than you would think someone sane would. I’m not just talking about CSI I’m talking about Medium and Criminal Minds and everything in between. I just don’t know why I’m so obsessed with these shows but I think it has something to do with the fact that I always wanted to be a police officer but never did. I think it’s so much fun trying to solve a crime and I know that at the end of the day I would make a really good police officer. I think my husband thinks I’m crazy because I watch so many of these shows and some of them are actually kind of gory but you know, that’s just something they do to draw in more viewers. I could do without the blood but I have to say it does make it a whole lot more realistic at the end of the day and that’s okay with me, you know? That’s what I like.

Is the Internet killing cable TV

There are so many things accessable on the internet these days that it makes me wonder is it even worth it to continue with cable? Between Netflix and official websites having the shows on the site for fans to view, it makes it easy and cheap to cut out the middle man altogether. Sites like Hulu and network sites have shows that you can just click and watch on your free time, I love it.

Fast POS Hardware

I have been to some stores, mainly department stores and have noticed that they do not have up-to-date check out system. The problem is that many customers do not want to wait on a line where it takes forever to get their receipt on their purchases because they need a fast POS Hardware. This site has different scans and machines that will be useful and faster than most hardware that is out in the market. Next time I go shopping and run into such problems, I will just send them that link haha!

Winter in New York

So far we have had a pretty good winter and by pretty good I mean no snow, well nothing that sticks anyways. It is still to early to tell because it is still February, but we are hoping no snow storm at all, especially since many of us are still scarred from the snowstorm in 2010-11. That was horrible and the worst we have seen in ages.

Skiing year round

I love the idea that if I wanted to go skiing, no matter what time of the year it is or weather, that I can find places that offer slopes that I can satisfy my need to ski. I am the type that loves to go shopping for the gear, I make sure that I have everything needed especially my ski goggles. I love the excitement I get on these getaways and just going down the slopes, it's an experience everyone should feel.

Track your steps

Walking each day for 10,000 steps have been shown that it equals to an active person. Use a pedometer, which you can get at amazon.com, and see how many steps that you actually walk. This is great if you are not moving around ona daily basis, these steps will ensure that you get your body moving.

Attention spans

Contribution by Prince Raymond

Have you ever noticed the way movies seem longer than they are sometimes? I was using our http://www.tvbydirect.com/directv-deal/Laredo-MISSOURI-MO-direct-tv.html to watch a movie just the other day. It was one I had seen once in the movies, but that I had not seen since. I think it is called the Holiday. It is about two women who switch homes for two weeks to escape from their lives. It is interesting because the things they try to escape end up coming and finding them. They face their challenges and by the end of the movie, the two women really prove themselves to be strong, independent women. When I first saw the movie, I did not think it was very long. It seemed as if we were hardly in the movie theater at all. When I watched it recently on the TV, it seemed much longer. It is possible it has something to do with how focused I was when I watched the movie the two different times. Whatever the case, it really surprises me the way in which we perceive time sometimes. It changes all the time in life and even watching a movie shows that.

New Year, New Shows

One of the things that I do look forward to is new shows and seeing whats interesting to watch. I am a very picky person and it would take a nice plot and storylines to keep me entertained, but the thing is I have a habit of not giving certain shows a chance because of how it looks when I first view it. People would recommend shows to me and tell me oh my it is so good and the best and so and so, but I need to make that decision myself, usually if a lot of people like it and it gets rave reviews, I will most likely enjoy it as well. So here is to new shows to entertain me and keep me interested!
