Moneywise

I despise how the media is creating such worry about the state of economy (and the Piggy Flu).

Several years ago my husband and I joined a Foundation Group through our church. Through this newly married group we discussed important things like oneness, communication, finances and the like. The financial stuff we went through changed the way we viewed "our" resources. It. Was. Transforming. Enlightening. Resolving. So, here we are, in this "crisis" and we aren't afraid. We know where we stand. We are prepared. We do not fret. We know Who is really in control. We see "our" stuff as not really ours, but as God's and we are simply stewards of His resources.

If I lost you at Christ, please don't quit on me now. Check out Moneywise. It's a group of people committed to walking you through a better perspective. If you aren't ready to meet with someone, just click on the articles provided or start with reading one of their suggested books. You won't regret it.

Memory Foam

"They" say we need 8 hours of sleep a night, at least. 9-10 would be even more functional. So why do I hate spending money mattresses? (Can anyone else relate?) I know sleep is important for so many reasons but I just feel gipped when it's time to buy a mattress.

My husband and I talked about getting a new mattress since ours is like 10 years old. But, he is a lot like me, hates spending the $ on that. Instead he bought us 4 inch Memory Foam for my birthday. It came with two memory foam pillows too. Oh my, how I love our bed again! I am sleeping so much better now. I mean, it's not like I never wake up at night, but it's improved so much. Some nights I don't wake up at all! I wake up feeling more rested and with less aches and pains.

The Electrolux Pronto 2-in-1

My good friend, Marisa, gave shout out to this little gadget on her blog. So I thought it was worth passing on to the few, the lovely, the amazing peeps that read this blog. I hope it makes your life easier!

The Electrolux Pronto 2-in-1.

A-mazing.

I have had the most difficult time trying to figure out how to keep our wood floors clean. They were always dusty, and it took SO much time to sweep, and then there'd always be a dust line after I swept. We had an I-Robot that did a good job, but it broke like 6 months later.
So, I had a friend at work tell me about this little beauty and I went out to buy one for myself.

FABULOUS!

It picks up all the dust, Bella's fur, etc... It's cordless and it has a detachable Dustbuster if you need it. Only three negatives: 1) doesn't pick up large chunks, 2) doesn't mop, 3) lasts for about 20 minutes off the charger.
So, it's great for quick clean ups before the guests show up.
I highly recommend it!
