I finally figured out how to share videos, not like it was complicated but apparently for my brain it was! This song, Via Dolorosa, is a song I could listen to over and over again. The melody is soothing, but the message in the words is overwhelming. I realize the Easter season is “forgotten” until next year, but the true meaning of Easter should never be forgotten in our hearts. He died, that I might have life. I had to laugh a few minutes ago and wanted to share my find with you. Every so many days I check my Sitemeter report (read more about Sitemeter) to see how much traffic my blog has as well as where traffic is coming from. I try to use keywords effectively and I like seeing how I’m doing. Well, today’s visit to Sitemeter showed quite a few referrals from Money Saving Mom’s site as well as a few others I expected because of Mr. Linky. Then there were a handful of Google searches. This is where I had my laugh. Someone from Germany was referred through a Google search for “bible illustration bleach water.” Hmmmm… Definitely worth checking out since I didn’t remember writing anything about a Bible illustration with bleach and water. One click on the Google search and I discovered that I was search result #4. Turns out Google picked up on my Continue reading A Laugh Courtesy of Google March 30 is the official one year anniversary of my last day in the “real” workforce. Woo-hoo! “Real” meaning the daily stressful 8 to 5 grind of working outside my house. To some, that is the only respectable workforce, and if you are one of those “some,” I’m sorry. After one year of working from home, I wouldn’t trade my life for a million dollars. Seriously! No amount of money could convince me to return to the “real” workforce. If you are considering becoming a stay-at-home wife or stay-at-home mother, make the plunge and do it. You won’t regret it! Initially, you will probably miss the daily socialization with others and the routine of your job, but over time the value of being at home far exceeds those things.I am a stay-at-home wife (meaning no children) in my early 30s and am perfectly content with what I have. In fact, I’m enjoying life in Continue reading What I Wouldn’t Trade for Anything I had a delightful surprise in my mailbox on Thursday! Apparently, without my knowledge, I did a CVS Hershey’s deal that earned me a $5 CVS gift card! I have no idea when the deal was from or what I even bought to make the deal, but I’m still delighted with my $5 gift card!Also at CVS this week, I took advantage of the great price and the ECBs on the Clear Care contact solution. I love this stuff and it is hardly ever on sale anywhere. I did, however, mess up on my transaction. The Clear Care was $7.99 and earned $3 ECB. I paid with $5 ECB and $3 cash. I should have used a $2 ECB and earned a dollar rather than lose $2 by using the $5 ECB. Oh well. I’m wiser for next time. Later in the week I went back and used my mother-in-law’s card to buy another Clear Continue reading Super Savings: CVS, Kroger, Wal-Mart Who didn’t come to my home? The ladybugs!!! The invitation was there in October and November, just like it is every year, but for some reason, they decided not to visit. I have put off celebrating their lack of visiting for about 4-5 months because I just wasn’t quite sure they weren’t coming. However, I think it is safe to say that 2007 was the year of no ladybugs! Yay! My vacuum cleaner is still sighing with relief.For those of you who live anywhere else in the world besides West Virginia, you are probably thinking, “What is this crazy lady babbling about ladybugs for?” If you live in West Virginia, particularly in an area with trees, you know exactly what I’m talking about – the annual influx of Japanese (I think they are called Japanese) ladybugs. For those blessed to not have the ladybug invasion, I’ll explain.Each year about the time that the first leaf Continue reading I Opened My Home, But They Didn’t Come |
