Christmas shopping

So, now that my son's birthday is practically behind me, I can start to think about Christmas shopping. I am running way behind this year from what I normally am at. Usually, I have everything bought by now! Being in nursing school as really messed me up when it comes to time or money for that matter! I can't wait until next year when I will hopefully have more of both:)

Skin Care

With all of the stress of going to nursing school, my face is paying the price for it right now. I am on the lookout for some really good acne products. I have not had any pimples since I was just out of High School, but now they are back. Before, I thought it was from having bangs or from using hair spray, but I guess I was wrong because I don't have bangs and I don't use hair spray in my hair either.

Netflix

One thing that we just figured out, is that you don't really need cable! We have a PS3, and we are able to watch Netflix with it and there are so many really good movies and even children's TV shows that I don't even miss having cable! And it is just $10 a month for the service too! You really can not beat that. In this economy, every penny counts too, we are so happy with it!

Heathy stuff

One of the most important things that a woman can do when she is pregnant is to make sure that she takes her prenatal vitamins. I know that I sure did and have 3 really healthy boys to show for it! One thing that I did not think of though, but wish that I had, is natural prenatal vitamins. I mean, to me, that sounds even more healthy. Would love to hear from anyone that has actually taken them too!

Save some cash!

So, today my oldest son turned 7 and we wanted to do something special but didn't have a whole lot of money to spend. We decided to head on out to Jacksonville to Chuckycheese's. We ended up spending $50 for pizza, drinks (with the optional plastic cups), a cake and over 150 tokens. Not too bad for entertainment and food with the cake too! We got 20 free tokens just for my son having a great report card and then I went to the website http://www.chuckecheese.com and signed up for the email list and got more printable tokens. One of them we bought 60 tokens for $15 and got another 40 free! Plus we got 30 tokens with our pizza meal. So we had enough tokens to keep everyone busy for 2 whole hours of playing. I think it was a great deal and lots of great memories made:)

Nursing School!

So, most of you readers know that I am now in nursing school. Hopefully I will be graduating in April (as long as I continue to pass all of my classes). One thing that I have noticed, is that I do a lot better in my classes when I highlight notes in it. One thing that I was thinking about is that, with so many students in college that potentially will make good money soon, one great way to advertise a business would be with some good promotional highlighters. I mean, most of the students that do well, would use them!

Back yet again!

Well, it has been a little while since I have written in my blog. I have really missed it too! I have been sooo busy with my 3 little boys and nursing school, it has been really hard to do anything just for me though. But I have decided that I am going to start doing it again though, because I just miss and enjoy it soo much!
