Hiring a Mover or Helper Just Got Easier



Photobucket
As the spring and summer months roll around and we get to working on outdoor and home improvement projects, you may find yourself in need of a little help  The other day I ran across this great site, HireaHelper.com.

It's a place where you can find movers, day laborers, cleaners.  For example, if you are in New York City, and you want to find New York City Movers, you just type in your zipcode and the day you are needing help, and then you click "compare prices," and a list of service providers will come up for you.

Sodastream Review and Giveaway

Photobucket
When I first heard about Sodastream, I was amazed and I knew I had to try it! At our house we drink a lot of soda or "coke" (because in the South everything is called a coke regardless of brand or flavor. hehe).

And I knew this would be a convenient product to own, and not to mention, it's just fun!

Needless to say, I was thrilled when I got the opportunity to write a review for Sodastream!

Peanut Butter Cracker Balls

I just love peanut butter candy! Last year around Easter I shared a recipe for Homemade Peanut Butter Cups.  And this Easter I've got another peanut butter treat!

This is one that I just threw together as an experiment one night.  It's based on this traditional peanut butter cookie/candy recipe that I shared back in January. And I think you'll find it's the perfect sweet and salty combo candy!

We've had kind of a strange winter around here, but I think the warm weather might be hear to stay for a while (knock on wood).  And this means it's going to be time to get out in the yard and do a little a little yard.

I have to admit, my husband does the mowing and most the hard work, but I do help with the flower beds and the general clean up.  And regardless of who's doing what, I'm always interested in finding products that can make our yard work easier!

Healthy Cooking and Salad Bar Vegetable Stir Fry

To help with his weight loss goals, I'm thinking back to his diet routine, which was very high in vegetables, fruit, and protein.  Here are some things he used to eat during the day to stay on track with his weight loss goals:

Bedroom Wardrobes

I'm starting to do some of my spring cleaning and organizing. One of the challenges of having a smaller home is the lack of closet space available. That is why whenever I get ready to design a baby nursery, I'm considering adding a wardrobe to the supply list.  They are great for creating additional storage space.

A while back I wrote about the selections available in bedroom furniture at Bedstar, The Online Bed Superstore. At the time, I did an overview of their selections, from their king size beds to their chests of drawers and dressing tables, but today I took a look at their selection of wardrobes.
