Innovative Tutor

Before I know it, my daughter will be in school. When she is, I want her to have the very best schooling possible. It's important to me to offer her the resources that she will need to succeed and understand each of the subject areas. If she would happen to struggle in a specific area, I believe my wife and I would check out Score Learning Centers. They are a place where children ages 4-14 receive the help and tutoring they need by an Innovative Tutor who makes learning meaningful and fun for them. If you have a child and want the best schooling for them as well....you should look into Score if tutoring is something you are interested in.

Fun Thanksgiving

Well, we sure had a nice holiday with our families this past week/weekend. Thursday we got to spend some time with each of my parents, and then yesterday we got to spend time with Jen's family!! It was great to see everyone and to introduce Kaelyn to some of the family members who hadn't met her yet!! Christmas time should be fun too!! I'm pretty sure that we'll get to see even more family members that haven't met her yet.

Parent Resource

My wife and I recently had our first baby. Having her has really made us realize how important it is to us to find the very best of everything for her. We want to find the best doctors, the best baby stores, the best gear, the best baby product and the best services. We were thrilled to come across Lilaguide.com, an addition to The Knot Inc, because here is where we can find honest reviews by real parents. Whether we're looking for the best stroller or the best place to get her a haircut, this place has the answers. I was really impressed with all they have to offer parents like us, and I think you will be too. Anyone who is a parent will appreciate the honest reviews and recommendations this site has to offer. Take a look today and see what you think.

Christmas Lists

Last night Jen and I were asked by my step mom to get our Christmas lists to her. Neither one of us really know what we want for Christmas. We feel like we have the best Christmas gift already...our daughter Kaelyn. Having her has really helped us put everything in perspective and has made us realize that we really have everything we need or want. I've never had such a hard time putting together a Christmas list before...I'm really going to have to think about it.

Having a Daughter

When Jen had Kaelyn and we found out that we had a girl...we were so thrilled!! We would have been happy with a boy or a girl and would have been thrilled no matter what. Having a daughter is just such a blessing and we love spending time with her!! She's such a little angel!! We love how the clothes in her closet went from greens and yellows to pinks and purples!! It's so much fun having a little girl!! I can't wait to see what it's like to have a son someday too!

Computer Security

Over the years I have learned how important it is to keep all of my computers protected from the viruses and spyware out there. I was happy to come across Software Security Solutions recently because they are the best resource out there for computer security software. They have a layered security solution which allows customers to find security software like anti-virus, anti-spyware, exploits, and firewalls all in one place. This helps to save customers time and money because they can find it all in one place and will pay less than having to buy each one separately in the stores. You can find more information about this company and what they have to offer, including ESET, on their site today.

Family

Jen and I are sure enjoying being parents!! It's been keeping us very busy...but it's the best thing in the world. We just love spending time as a family and watching our little girl as she grows and learns new things every day!! We sit there and watch her sleep even. We're very proud parents and couldn't be happier to have started our family!! What a blessing!

Special Gift

Today while I was at work, Jen was getting the mail and saw that there was a package on our front steps. It was from her Dad's aunt. It was a gift for Kaelyn which was really special. She had made Kaelyn a really nice blanket that she will be able to use for years and years. What's even neater about this gift is that she said in the card that it was not only from her, but also from Jen's grandma. Jen's grandma has Alzheimer's, but when she was well she used to sew and sew. Esther knew that if Vi was well that she would have made something for Kaelyn, so she put her name on the card as well. I thought that was pretty special and so did Jen.

Weightloss

There are many people out there today who struggle with weight issues. Because of this, there are many people who have taken advantage of the safest and least invasive weight loss surgery solution called the lapband system procedure. This is a great thing offered to those who are overweight and want to live a healthier lifestyle. Basically what it is, is a skilled professional places a gastric banding around the upper portion of the stomach. This helps to make the stomach smaller and helps the patient to feel full more quickly. Patients eat less and ultimately lose weight quickly and safely. I think it's a great procedure that others should look into. If you have weight problems and would like to learn more about this procedure check out Journey Lite's site today.

Family Time

The past couple of days have been so nice for me. When my daughter was born, we right in the middle of our busy season, making it difficult for me to spend much time with her or my wife. Now, with the cold weather here, I've been getting to spend a lot more time with both Kaelyn and Jenna and I couldn't be happier!! Hopefully with winter on the way I am going to get to spend lots more time with my family now!

Score

Math can be a very difficult subject for many young children. I remember hating math and not doing very well in it when I was young either. If my daughter ever has a hard time in math, I'm going to look into Score Learning Centers and getting a math tutor for her so she doesn't have to struggle through it like I did. The Math Tutors at Score are very good at giving children an innovative tutoring environment that makes learning meaningful to them and fun!! If you have a child that needs some assistance in math...check out Score today!

Dry Skin

This time of year is very cold where I live. One of the things that comes along with this cold weather is dry skin!! I just hate dry skin, because it seems that no matter how much lotion I put on...it's never enough to make the itchy dryness go away. Even our daughter has some dry skin on her face and feet. I feel bad for her, because I'm sure it's itching her as well. Hopefully with time, the dryness will go away...it's not fun!!

The Mist

I've never been a huge fan of scary movies, but Stephen King has made a few that I really enjoyed. Many people know Stephen King as being a genius when it comes to creating scary movies. I think of him as being creative when it comes to his movies, whether they're scary ones or not. Probably my favorite movie by Stephen King would have to be the Shawshank Redemption. This is a movie that my wife and I both really enjoy!! We own it and have watched it many times. I wouldn't go as far to say that this movie is super scary...but it does have a great story line and one that keeps those watching it on the edge of their seat. That's my kind of movie. For those of you who enjoy these types of movies...and don't mind a little scare, you should definitely check out this site describing his newest movie, The Mist. The Mist by Stephen King is supposed to be quite the thriller, and even one that I think looks pretty good. It's going to be coming out on November 21st, so you still have time to make plans to go see it. Try to go with someone who you can hold onto though...as I'm sure it will be quite scary at times!!

Lunch Time

I can't believe it's already noon already! It's that time of day when I really need to start thinking about what i want for lunch!! Will it be egg salad or one of the other leftovers in the fridge?!? Normally we don't have a lot of leftovers, but since Jen's mom was here for a week and cooking yummy meals...we have lots to choose from. I'm thinking the egg salad sounds the best today though.

New Mixer

Most of us grow up having many different recipes that we just love!! Although there are many as a kid that I really enjoyed...I have grown to love different types of food more and more as I've gotten older. One recipe that I really love, that my wife's mom introduced me to is Banana Bread. Now, I know most people have had banana bread before...but until you've had Vicky's banana bread, you haven't truly tasted the best!! This is probably one of my favorite things to eat...I'm pretty sure I could eat a whole loaf if I really wanted to! There's something about it that makes it better and different from the other banana bread that I've had in the past. In case anyone out there wants to try it...the recipe is:
1/2 C Butter
1C Sugar
2 eggs
2C flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/4 C mashed bananas
and chocolate chips if you like. Then you just bake it at 350 degrees for 45-55 minutes. Trust me, you'll LOVE it!!
The one thing that I don't like about making this recipe though, is our mixer. We have a cheaper mixer that is not very powerful. Before I make banana bread again, I'd like to look into getting a powerful mixer like the Hamilton Beach® Eclectrics® Mixer. The Hamilton Beach® Mixer would make the process much faster and much more enjoyable!! If you'd like to learn more about the Hamilton Beach® Stand Mixer and how it could make your baking experiences more enjoyable, check out their site today!

Christmas Goodies

Now that we're already half way through November, I can't help but look forward to the holidays ahead. I just love the Christmas season!! I especially look forward to all the goodies that are made each year. My favorite are probably my mother-in-laws sugar cookies...as they just melt in my mouth!! The frosting on them is outstanding as well!! I think my wife said that she was going to try making them this year if she gets the chance. I can't wait!! Yum!

Krillion

Anyone who knows me probably knows that I would love to have a new flat screen television sometime in the near future. Right now our priority is Kaelyn...but at some point having a television like this would be a dream come true. When I'm ready to start seriously looking, I think I"m going to look into using Krillion. They make it easy to find big ticket items like this by helping you find local places where you can find one. That way I'm not searching all over the web or shopping all over the city trying to find what I'm looking for. It's really a great way to conveniently find exactly what I'm looking for. If you're looking for a sony 32 inch LCD or some other kind of television...I suggest you let Krillion help you out.

Helping Out

Even though it's the busy season and I get home late many evenings...I've still been trying my best to help Jen with as much as I can around the house. She does some work online, as well as taking care of Kaelyn and the house during the day. Sometimes it becomes exhausting a little overwhelming for her...so I've been helping out with whatever she needs. We work as a great team which is nice when life is a little hectic like it has been lately. Thankfully though, the busy season will soon come to an end and I will be able to spend some more time at home with my beautiful wife and daughter!

Finally

Well, we received the news today that Jen's brother and his wife finally had their son. They were due the day before us...but unfortunately went over two weeks past due. Thankfully both mom and baby are doing great and are actually headed home today!! We're so happy for them and can't wait to meet our new nephew. It's going to be such a fun time at Christmas this year...with two new babies around. I can't wait.

Capella University

If you're pursuing a higher education, it's important that you look into all of your options so you find something that's right for you. For most of us who work...finding a college that works with our schedules can be next to impossible. That is...unless you know about Capella University and their great online degree programs that you can do from the comfort of your own home. capella university was founded in 1993, and is a fully accredited online university. They offer all kinds of graduate and undergraduate degree programs...all of which are very good. If you'd like to learn more about the programs Capella offers to see if this might be a college you're interested in...then please take a look at their site today! They're only a click away.

You've Got Mail

Jen was pretty excited to get a package in the mail the other day!! She does some blogging for a company called Payu2blog, and they do different promotional things to get the word out about different products. Seeing how Jen is a teacher, and now a new mother...she was thrilled when they were giving people different children's toys to try and review. She got three really neat games and things....stuff that our daughter will be able to use when she's a bit older!!

Facebook

I don't know about you, but I really enjoy the different social networking sites that are out there these days. One of the most popular, and probably my favorite is Facebook. I've especially enjoyed it now that we have Kaelyn here with us...because I continue to post new pictures each day! It's a great way to share the things that are going on your life with others, and stay up to date on what's happening with people you may not see very often. I just love it!

Martin Worldwide

Martin Worldwide is a leader when it comes to the direct marketing industry. They offer mailing list products to clients that are very impressive if you ask me. You may have heard of one of their most successful products, ResponseCom. This is a program mixing US Response and US COnsumer databases to give clients a multi-dimensional database that is very versatile and easy to use. What's so special about this program is that it was created by using decades to tracking and compiling of information...give you the best program possible. If you'd like to learn more about Martin Worldwide, the list broker, and their programsn...take a look at their site today!

Busy, Busy, Busy!

With Kaelyn here I am noticing that we have much more laundry to do. Jen and I usually do laundry once or twice a week...but with all the onesies, socks and clothes that she goes through each day...we're finding that we do laundry almost every day now. I guess that's ok though. We need her to have clean clothes to wear. It sure does keep us busy though.

Thermostat Help

Ever since moving into our new house, Jen and I have been trying to figure out our thermostat. It's one of those newer digital ones and we are just confused as to how it works. It seems that when we set it for a specific degree, it will get way to hot or cold in our house. For instance, if I set it on 70 and look at it a while later...it will still be running but says that it's 73 in the house. I think the degrees are a little off...because 73 makes it too warm in our place!

Credit Cards

Finding the right credit card can be very difficult. I mean, it's easy to get a credit card, but finding one that's right for your situation is what can be tough. For those who are serious about finding a good credit card, take a look at CreditCardSearchEngine.com today. They are actually the web's longest running sites for online credit card comparison.

Golf Anyone?

Wow, the weather lately really has me wishing that I had some time off. If I did, then my father-in-law and I could probably go golfing. I'm sure the grass on the course is starting to die some, but we could still get in a good round of golf. It's perfect weather...not really too cold or too hot! Maybe if I have a day off coming up here soon we can go...that would be a lot of fun!

Family

Lately, with the baby here now...I haven't had much time to be online and make some money posting. It's not a big deal though...as spending time with her and Jen are my top priorities! I will do my best to keep up with some posting here and there, but life has changed and it's not all about making as much money as I can. Now all I care about it is spending time with my family and not missing a moment!

Investments

The Monex Companies is a a leader when it comes to the investment of gold, silver and other precious metals. They have been around for about 40 years and have helped thousands and thousands of investors invest...even invest in rare coins. Monaco Rare Coins is actually part of Monex Companies and they make it easy for you to find the producs and and programs that you've been looking for. What I like best is that they have an experienced staff of professionals who want to help you. They're dedicated and committed to helping their customers and that's something that is very impressive in my opinion. If you'd like to learn more about this company and coin collection...take a look at their site today.

Family of Three

I still can't believe that I'm finally a Daddy!! The past 10 months went by so quickly...and Kaelyn is finally here with us. It's just such an amazing and surreal experience....I'm loving every minute of it! :) She's so precious and such a wonderful baby!! It's fun to look at her and see the different features that remind Jen and I of ourselves. Each day I look forward to coming home and seeing her and my wonderful wife! We're now a family of three and I am overjoyed!

Zoe

While Jen's parents were here over the past week to help us out with the house and with Kaelyn...they brought their dog Zoe. Zoe is such a sweet dog and so lovable. However...she has NEVER been around a baby before, and she doesn't really know how to act around them. Zoe is used to getting all of our attention because she's so sweet...but now that Kaelyn is here, Zoe was second in line when it came to attention. She was pretty good...but you could tell that she is really nervous around Kaelyn...not knowing exactly what to think of her. We had to keep her away from Kaelyn most of the time...as she just gets too excited around her. We don't want Zoe to accidently hurt Kaelyn by stepping on her or something. Hopefully with time Zoe will become more and more used to Kaelyn and the other grandchildren.

PowerOptions

If you've never heard of PowerOptions before, then you may want to take some time and check them out soon. They offer a complete suite of educational materials and free customer support....as well as necessary data that you will need to invest with stock options. Using their SmartSearchXL technology, you can easily find, compare and analyze stock option trading. What's so great about this program is that they make it really easy and convenient for you to sort, filter and analyze stocks and options online. It's really a one of kind program that can't be found anywhere else! If you would like to learn more about PowerOptions and the option screener, and how it can help you take a look at their site today.

New Nephew

My mother and father-in-law are pretty excited, as they get to head down to Texas in a couple of days. Jen's twin brother and his wife are expecting their first baby and actually went into labor yesterday. Her parents are really anxious to get down there and meet this little guy after he's born!! I don't blame them. How exciting to have two new grandchildren within a two week time period!! I wish that Jen and I were able to go down and meet our new nephew as well...but it's very hard to do much traveling now that Kaelyn is here and so young still. That's ok though, we'll get to meet him over the holidays.

Weather Lately

Although it is a bit chilly outside...it's been much nicer than it was over the past couple of weeks. I'm torn as to whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. The reason being is because, if it continues to stay pretty warm...our busy season will continue. I'd really like for it to be over though, so I can spend some time with my family!! The only downfall to it becoming colder though, is that winter will be here then and then we have to face the bitter cold and snow, which is not fun!!

Wedding

I had a cousin that got married this past weekend!! The wedding was sure nice. Jenna really wanted to go, but with just having Kaelyn a week before that she wasn't quite up to it...and she wasn't really wanting to take her out with all those people quite yet. I'm sure we'll take Kaelyn out soon...but we just want her to build up her immunity a little bit before she's around lots and lots of people who are holding her and stuff. I think this is a good idea. My cousin and family members will get the chance to see them another time.

Wow!

I can't believe our little girl is almost two weeks old already!! The time sure does go by quickly. I mean, everyone told me that the time would go quickly, especially having a little one now...but I never imagined it would go by this fast!! It shows how important it is to cherish every single moment because they pass in an instant. That's why I am so thankful for cameras. We are able to capture all kinds of things that Kaelyn is doing each day!! Her baby book and photo album are going to be full before we know it...haha.

What a night

Boy, the days just fly by. Where does the time go? I've been busy with Kaelyn, home and life in general. I'm not able to blog as much right now but, soon will start back. Being a mother is the greatest! To have this special gift from God is just amazing. She is beyond words. I love her so much.
