COSTCO vs SAM'S CLUB and things of that nature

Here's the deal:

I have a Costco membership. Because of this  it may seem as though I access to a wondrous  world of endless possibilities but let's face it, those possibilities can only go so far. This is why I am extending my hand out to those of you who live in my area that are Sam's Club members.

With our powers combined we could rule the world. Let me know if you're interested in a shopping trip.

Now, I'm not only limiting my powers to those who are living near me- if you are a coupon collector such as myself and have found yourself with too many coupons you don't know what to do with (such as myself) then I'm proposing a coupon exchange.

It's easy- all ya gotta do is email/ message me  what you're looking for and if I have it I'll be glad to send it out.

This is helpful for those a variety of people:
- large families
-people with diet restrictions
-needing specific products/brands
-those stocking up on household supplies
-cleaning supplies
-private/light catering
-people who are looking to host a particular party and don't want to purchase in unnecessary bulk
..and other things of that nature.

Think of it folks, the possibilities are endless :)

Updated Resolutions: Activities for Kids


I have found that it is easy to make an every day chore in to a fun-filled learning activity for a four year old.  

Something so simple such as folding the laundry has turned into a game of retail store in which we neatly fold the clothes and place them on display in our rooms for customers. Just the other day we made a game out of shoveling a rock pile from the front yard in order to  level out the front a bit better. As we "played" in the rock pile she was rewarded with picking a few rocks out that we would be able to keep. 

Unfortunately each and every one of the "games"  I came up with were short-lived.  Although she's four, my daughter is a skill-full player the constant game of life we have going on. About three minutes into playing store she got up, declared herself manager and took off for a "coffee break".

When it came to shoveling the rocks, I fastened a brand new shovel of her very own out of an old juice carton  so that she could "play" but instead she took it upon herself to inspect the rocks. A little while later I noticed that I had spilled rocks onto the sidewalk. Excited about my new found discovery, I told her that I had I noticed some of the rocks "trying to escape" the yard. As  I called for her help to gather them she calmly explained to me that the rock swere merely trying to get a bit of fresh air outside of the gate. 

Again, I enjoy changing these every day chores into fun-filled learning experiences for my four year old; it's just her perception that we need to tweak.
