Tax time means stress time

Man oh man, so its a new year and this means that forms from your job will start rolling in or if you are like me and self employed or independent contractor, you need to do this crap yourself and gather your earnings and pay or else the big bad IRS guys will come knocking. I swear tax season scares the hell out of me, never know how much I am going to owe. Also I wanted to point out, to avoid those huge fees, it is best to pay your taxes quarterly. This option hurts your pockets less. ANDDDDD always contact a tax professional if you are unsure. This is something that I will be doing. no way I could do this on my own, don't want to risk it!

Snow storm in the south

So much have been happening since the year began and we are already at the end of the first month of the year. So many snow storms, so much snow here in NY, but what's really amazing is that the people in the south have been getting snow and shutting things down for like what? One inch of snow? I get it, they are not used to that kind of weather, no snow tires, and other things to be prepared. It just seems so funny and reminded me of when we had the earthquake here and we panicked while people on the west coast laughed at us. Yeah we are kind of laughing at you now.

Benefits of Portable Heaters

I love portable heaters, I think that they are one of the best things to have ever been invented and I will tell you why. The other day we were having problems with our heating system, something about needing to change the boiler, I am not sure all I know is that my DH was supposed to take care of this. Well guess what, he didnt! It got really cold last week and the nights are brutal. No heat, but luckily...we had..cozywinters.com heaters. That's right, purchased one of these babies and was nice and toasty the next day. They can really warm up a room like no other. These are great for apartments and offices and more.

Back to school Time

Its seems like summer is almost over and now it is back to school time, which also means, school shopping. While I was compiling a list of what the kids need, my youngest said we should have a back to school concert type show for when the next time the family gets together which is labor day. I was cursing my fave site and landed on yamaha dgx 640 at musicians friend and figured this looked so cool. Not sure what the plan is but the whole concert idea sounds great and I am sure putting n a show for everyone would be awesome.

How to grill indoors and grilling flavors

Whether you live in an apartment, or it is cold outside to use the grill, here are some great ways that I have personally used and have had success with delicious grilling meats. OK first of all, you cant use a regular grill indoors, too dangerous! We have an indoor george foreman grill which could be used on the stand and looks like this
This is great for grilling just about anything you would use on a regular outdoor grill and its so easy to clean. Now here is the best part of getting that nice grilling flavor......are you ready? An indoor smoker! OMG this thing is a life changer. My boys love the great flavor hat it gives our meats, fish and veggies. I did my research and the best indoor smoker is Camerons Products Stainless Steel Stovetop Smoker
. The way it works, you put the woodchips that it comes with on the bottom and the meat goes on top, cover it and voila. It does not get smokey at all to the point where it would be bad if you lived in an apartment, you can smell the nice hickory or whichever flavor of wood chips you decide to use. You can choose to cook ti al the way in the smoker, but what we did was smoke our meats for a few to get that flavor and then transfer it to the grill and let it finish that way. The results are fantastic! With this method, you can easily grill indoors and not miss the flavors of an outside grill. This is a great way for people that live in apartments and want to grill indoors. All of the products that we have purchased and used are very affordable and will not burn a hole in your pockets.

Making your own Junk food

We all crave the unhealthiest foods from burgers to candies and sugary stuff. I find that whenever I am craving the not-so-good stuff, it is kind of healthier to make them yourself. Thee are plenty of sites that have copy cat recipes and boy do I love them. Another benefit of doing these is that not only are the cheaper to make, but you know what is in them, therefore although unhealthy much more healthier than actually going out and ordering it.

Having Healthy snacks available

I am one of those people who definite have to work on keeping my weight where I want it and I find that one of the tricks that help me do this is having healthy snacks available at all times especially when I get those cravings. Have you ever just sat at your computer and you just feel the need to just eat? Chats me! Some of the ideas of what I keep handy are: Fruits..always have fresh fruit in the fridge in Ziploc bags for those on the go, nuts..peanuts, almonds or a trial mix with raisins, is yummy. Another great tip to keep you from grazing or over eating. Fill up just amount for one serving in ziplock bag and once its done, that's it..snack time over!

The Cigar Shop

One of my go-to gifts for the guys in my life, whether it be my dad or my father-in-law, I find that getting something from the cigar shops is not a bad gift and they usually enjoy it. If ever their special day comes around, or something to give them around the holidays, browse through the site and check out what they have to offer.
