Windows and Best Buy Make Buying a New PC Even Easier

Let’s be honest… do you still have an older computer hanging around that is running XP or Vista? I’ll admit it if you do. With all of the hot new ultrabooks out there, it’s never been a better time to get a new PC or laptop. One of the biggest hassles/issues people complain about when buying a new PC is how to get their data from their old PC to the new PC.

Arm & Hammer Ultra Last Clumping Cat Litter

ARM & HAMMER® Ultra Last™ Clumping Cat Litter I have two big fur babies. I love them bunches, but I can live without the smell the can make on a daily basis (if you kwim).

I had to get into the routine of cleaning the cat box every day, but with four kids and now … [Read more...]

  I’ve recently been in the market for printing services and have done my fair share of searching. I found a great resource at Uprinting and I thought I should share it!

I knew from experience that hand written numbers on torn off shreds of paper tend to get lost easily. … [Read more...]

Small “Wins” Lead to a Successful Day & Future | Quaker Oatmeal

 I’ve learned that making New Years Resolutions just don’t work for me. I begin the year with every good intention… but things happen, I get sidetracked or I plain old lose my willpower. This year I have started making small lifestyle changes instead of one huge resolution. My first change is to start thinking of myself… sometimes even before the family (*gasp*). I start first thing in the morning. If I can grab a quick shower and … [Read more...]
