Did you know that September is National Coupon Month ? AND also Shameless Promotion Month ? Well guess what?!
I have just written an article on Examiner.com related to coupons and now I am shamelessly self -promoting it ;) But, really I think it's an article we could all use right now about saving money on groceries. And you can always click the button/link over that ---> way to read my other Examiner articles . Enjoy :)

The Friday Five

I love music! How about you? And I always liked making my own mix tapes and such -"back in the day" =D Which is why I love my Ipod! I love that you can buy A song and make your own music mix with different songs you like - So, that brings me to today's Friday Five -I'm going to hit shuffle on my Ipod and see what 5 songs comes up-I love doing things like this-How fun!

1. Catch my Disease by Ben Lee -Oh that's a good one!

2. Day-O (Banana boat song) by Harry Belafonte- =D I think I got that song after I was thinking about Bettlejuice (the movie)

3. Online by Brad Paisley -That's a funny song and video!

4. Who will save your soul by Jewel -Another good one -I love that line "There are addictions to feed and there are mouths to pay"

5. In my car (I'll be the driver) by Shania Twain -I like that 1 too!-Go figure since it's my Ipod huh? ;) I do hope she comes back into the music scene -I heard she's been getting back into the public eye here and there since her divorce and everything

Wow-That was fun I was surprised that not much "newer" songs came up-I do have some I promise! Well, that's it for today as you can tell I have a pretty eclectic taste in music maybe I'll have to do this again sometime -Bye for now :)

Reminiscing

I'm not sure if everyone likes to reminisce or if it's just fun remembering all those childhood things being a child from the 80's/90's. But, it's nice to remember Strawberry Shortcake,Care Bears,Cabage Patch Kids,Smurfs,My Little Pony,She-Ra/He-man. Some of those being great TV shows too and other shows like ThunderCats,Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,Full House,Blossom-(Yeah I even remebering doing a class poster about the TV show Blossom ;) Or even the songs/singers gotta love Debbie Gibson and the New Kids on the Block! =D I could seriously go on & on. But, really to me it is nice to think about those kinds of things- Recently my dad brought some stuff from storage he still had when we were kids- for me and my sis to go through. And we found some classic "vintage" stuff -Like this California Raisin stamp set,old video game player/video games like -Frogger!, and even our old keyboard-See pic:But this got me thinking if our kids will reminisce about things from their childhood what kind of things will they remember? I have to say I was glad that Care Bears-etc did come back some so I could share that with my daughter-Maybe we'll have that in common! But I'm sure there will be some stuff that's so "classic" to their childhood. Maybe Dora and Diego ? Maybe-Webkinz ? When I was younger I'd never imagine such a thing as Webkinz -I mean the internet just became popular when I was graduating highschool or somewhere around there ;)

And speaking of electronic gadgets maybe instead of the old frogger games they'll remember their Gameboys or Nintedo DS. And they'll probably remember how Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus was SO big with the TV show,CD's, and the many,many products she "they" are on.

What do you think- Do you love reminiscing? What things do you think your kids will remember?
