Have You Heard of No More Rack?

Everybody likes to shop online and save money, but have you heard about the latest shopping website that can save you money? It’s called No More Rack and it can save you mucho dinero mamacita!

No More Rack offers deals of up to 80% off on items you already buy! Unlike some of the other deal sites – shipping is super cheap – 2 bucks per item! Wow!

For instance, today you can get a $49 dollar Derek Heart dolman tee shirt with sequins on it, for… get this…. $12 bucks! Basically cheaper than Wal-mart, right? That is a crazy good deal! They have deals for men, women, children, home, pets, and they even have a deal that goes towards different charities, under the charity tab on their website. Today’s charity deal is a necklace that is 75% off and is selling for $25.

I like to use daily deal sites to pick up items throughout the year to use in my gift closet. I keep a certain number of giftable items on hand so I don’t have to rush out to buy presents if I need them at the last minute. Do you do that?

Channel flipping

Thanks for the article from Glenda Hanson

My family is really bad about flipping back and forth from channel to channel while we watch different programs. We use our direct tv arizona and just go to one channel and the next whenever commercials come on. We are really bad about doing that when sports games are on too. We have a handful of sports channels, which makes it easy to go back and forth to see every game. Sometimes it is just changing from one football game to another when multiple games are on TV. Other times, we will watch two or three different sports at the same time, like hockey and basketball. That is the benefit of advertisements during TV. You get to watch a little bit of everything while you are waiting for the ads to end. We do not just do it when we watch sports though. We do it even with different sitcoms or movies that come on. It is probably because we are very impatient, but I like to think of it as multi-tasking and we have certainly gotten to be very good at it. Sometimes it annoys the people that come to the house to watch TV with us, but we really cannot help ourselves.

Christmas Fever*

Guest written by our friend Trent Horton

I hope that this holiday season is better than the last years Christmas fiasco. I have never been the type of person to stress about the holidays but after last year I can safely say that I know what a bad holiday looks like. My mom was sick the entire Christmas season with the flu, which was caught by everyone that came to visit us. My wife was pregnant at the time and was constantly complaining about feeling discomfort and not being able to get a good night sleep. However, the one bright spot that came from the entire holiday season was the fact that with all the people we had visiting us we knew that it would that we should probably update our basic cable package to satellite TV, we were simple referred to www.Direc4U.com and our probably was instantly solved. Now maybe next year the holiday season will be a little bit better and everyone can enjoy each other a little bit more.

For My Kids…*

Thanks for the post from Barney Crosby

There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for my kids so being a stay at home mom was just a choice I made when my husband’s job required him to be at the office longer every day. My son actually has special needsso it’s been really nice for me to be at home spending more time with him and I feel like I’m helping him acclimate to life, too. I love being a mom and dealing with all the day to day stuff like the home security family alarm and the laundry and taking my daughter to school… I never imagined I would be staying at home full time but I guess you do what you have to do when your kids are concerned…am I right? I love my new “job” and I’m even thinking about talking to my husband about having another baby but I can tell you right now exactly what he’s going to say. I don’t know that I blame him, either, since the two we have sometimes feel like plenty to handle!

Country Life

Guest post written by my buddy Aldo Mays

It’s been tough moving out here to the country since I’m such a city girl at heart but I knew what I was getting into when I decided to get married to the love of my life, Ben. He has always lived on this farm and he had no intention of leaving it and he makes a nice living for himself out here with all the dairy cows. I think I may even start up a small cheese shop on the property just to give myself something to do out here during the days! I had to put my foot down on a few things when I moved in like redoing all the décor inside the house and installing an air conditioning unit. I also talked Ben into checking out www.wildbluedeals.com with me which was a great idea since now I can get on Facebook and check my emails whenever I feel like it. I’m getting used to being all the way out here but it’s definitely an adjustment. Ah, the things we’ll do for love!

And the Winner is….

Thank you for all the great comments about the toys you buy your children! I tried to log in last night to post the winner but WordPress was down. Anywho, the winner of the Eco-Friendly Toy Castle, chosen randomly using random.org’s number generator is….

My Big Secret

I’ve decided to tell you my big secret, the thing that makes me hang my head in shame and feel like I don’t have it all together. So here it is:

I cannot remember anyone’s birthdays and I never get cards in the mail!

My friends have pretty much come to terms with the fact and I don’t think they hold it against me! I have a stack of unmailed birth announcement cards in the closet, and I have Christmas cards stuffed in the garage that never got sent. No one in my extended family has seen wedding pictures yet. I only remember people’s birthdays if they remind me. It’s a real problem.

So you can imagine how excited I was when I found Paperless Post. Don’t call these e-cards, they are like fancy, schmancy stationary that you can personalize and send out to loved ones. They make it super easy to import your contacts from any email provider you use and click, click you have updated all of your friends and your favorite Aunt can’t say she never got a picture of your baby. Sorry Auntie!

Look how pretty:

Happy New Year … Almost

Guest post written by Zack Trotter

It’s almost new years! And you know what that means–time for my annual road trip to NYC to see the ball drop! Yeah, I’ve made it a bit of a tradition with a few of my guy friends that we always go (at least, for the last three years–does that count as a tradition?) up to see the festivities. It really is a great time!

We’re not really the party type–we more so just have appreciation for really iconic American moments. Last year, we stood out in Times Square for 10 hours waiting to get our spots! It was absolute mayhem, but such a great feeling to ring in the new year there. I’m excited for 2011 in other w! ays, too, though. I have a lot of goals to accomplish. For one, I’d love to get into internet hosting and try to start up my own site online. I think that’d be so cool! Especially so future employers can see it and notice how I’m getting connected and learning the new technologies so many of them will need. It should be a good year ahead!
