Real Life: Hand washing our laundry!

Well last night I washed a load of laundry and went to start load #2 and my washer filled with water and then froze! It didn't do anything after that! I'm assuming the motor blew or a belt broke or something! Either way it's not working! So today I washed 1 load of laundry by hand and tonight, after I finish writing this, I am going to do a few more loads! I do not go back to work until Thursday so I am planning to wash as much laundry as possible by hand until Thursday! <>My goal will be 10 loads! And yes I have that much laundry!! LOL! Wish me luck! I pray that my hands and wrists don't go out before I can get the majority done!

Real Life: My boys always amaze me!

Tonight I was sitting here doing my CashCrate stuff and earning a little extra money and I got a little hungry so I asked my husband to go make me a sandwich. He told me to hold on because he was watching a tv show and wanted to wait until the commercial. So after a minute I noticed my 2 year old was standing on a chair by the counter doing something so I went to check what he was doing. He was in there putting peanut butter on a hamburger bun for me :) He was making a sandwich for his mommy :) It was so cute! I swear my boys win my heart over time after time! I got some pictures of him doing this because I want to put them in his scrapbook! Do your kids ever do things like this?

Real Life: A little outside fun!

Tuesday was such a beautiful day! The sun was out, no rain, there was a slight breeze. The only complaint I had was the mosquitos. However, I did handle that easily. I just got a slightly damp log and set fire to it to cause a little smoke. The smoke drives away the mosquitos. It works very well!

After I got the mosquitos away my husband came home from work and set up the slip n slide for himself and the kids lol. They had a blast! I think my husband likes those sort of things more than the kids do! I got a few pictures of the kids having fun in the water. I wish I would have got some of my husband but I didn't.

Real Life: A little extra money!!

So a few years ago I was a stay at home mom! I would do nothing but play with my son all day! This was great and fun yes but I wanted to try to find a way earn an income to help out with bills and what not. So I did some research to find things I could do from home so that way I wouldn't have to get a babysitter! I tried Avon! That wasn't for me! I tried selling things ob Ebay and that wasn't for me either!

Later I came across a few sites that you can do from your computer that are ABSOLUTELY FREE to join and use! I read a bunch of testimonials and asked people for proof of payment and what I saw wasn't fantastic but it was still something!

One LEGITIMATE site is CashCrate! I personally made money from this in the past! I stopped about 2 years ago when my second son came along and I didn't have much free time to do it anymore!

I have been looking to make a second income since I only work part time as of right now and I don't get many hours! I was looking into getting a second part time job but I don't have time to do that since my husband works full time and is the one who watches the kids while I work! So I thought and thought! I finally decided why not try CashCrate again?!

So I looked up a person who used CashCrate so I could sign up under them and help them with their referrals! I joined yesterday and I am a lot happier with CashCrate this time around! The offers are worth more and there are more ways to earn money now also! If you have tried CashCrate in the past and stopped I recommend you start again! It seems that its easier to earn the money now!

I signed up last night around midnight and today I have already racked up a little over $3.00! Which is great! By the end of the night I should have around $10.00 Im assuming if I put a little time into it! So far I have only been on there about an hour total!

If you are interested in earning a little extra money please feel free to let me know and I will help you out! You can take a look at the site and join by clicking HERE! Remember is it COMPLETELY FREE to join and use! No scams!!!

Real Life: A Family Vacation!

Last March was my 3 year Wedding Anniversary and my husband gets a 2 week time slot at that time every year when his job closes down for Spring Break! During this 2 weeks we always plan a bunch of fun family things to do! Since we got married we had plans to go to Disney World but we never got to go because every time we had money to go.. something else would always come up!

Well, finally last March we were able to come up with the money with no problems in the way to keep us from going! So we finally got our Disney World Vacation!

We did all of out own planning and ticket buying and everything else! I looked into a few vacation planners but after doing all my own research I figured I could plan it all myself and so I did!

We had 5 days at Disney World with the Park Hopper option. We had 10 nights at a moderate hotel. Plus we went to Ripley's Museum and Gatorland! We spent around $3,000.00 for everything! This included gas to and from Florida from Indiana and food plus whatever we bought while we were there!

My husband has been to Disney World many times in the past but as for myself and my boys we had never been! So when we got there we were all very excited and surprised with all the many things to do there! Although my husband had been there before he said this time was by far the best time he has had! We took loads and loads of pictures some of which I will add to this post!

My husband has a blog of his own where he explains a lot of things at Disney World including but not limited to tips and tricks to saving money and time! If you would like to check that out can find it at:

Please go take a look and see if there is anything there to help you plan your Disney World vacation!
