Great Quote & Advice to Live By

A friend's profile on Facebook had the following quote from Sarah Jessica Parker:

“As we drive along this road called life, occasionally a gal will find herself a little lost. And when that happens, I guess she has to let go of the coulda, shoulda, woulda, buckle up and just keep going.” - Sarah Jessica Parker

I think this goes for everyone and we have to just keep Truckin'!!

Love it!! Hope you do to!!

Saving On Groceries

What has come to be known as Couponing - The sending out or turning in of rebates and coupons, especially the regular redemption of a manufacturer's coupon for cash - has become very popular within the last year or 2. Today we are all looking for ways to save money! It has also, pretty much become a game to see how much money can be saved!

Thanks to my friend Ali, I have come across a great website to help you save money on your groceries!! The website Southern Savers, was started by a stay at home mom with 3 kids, attempting to save money to pay off a loan. This hobby, shall we say, became a regular activity for her and she is now helping others do the same. The website reports the weekly deals at several grocery stores common the the Southeast and certain national drugstores. It matches the deals to coupons found in the Sunday paper, store coupons and online coupons and breaks down your savings. Several other resources are provided. I highly recommend checking it out!!

Mother's Day

As I'm sure most of you are aware, Mother's Day is soon approaching (Sunday, May 10th), so it's time to plan on how you want to celebrate these special people in our lives!! For some women I know, this is the first time that in addition to celebrating their Mother's, they will be the one celebrated! Or, they may have just added a new bundle of joy to the bundle(s) they already have. What a special time!!

Here are some gift ideas for that special Mom in your life:
Get 15% Discount on all purchases made from MyJewelryBox
High Quality Yoga Accessories at Unbeatable Prices

The modern Mother's Day holiday came into being due to efforts made by Ms Julia Ward Howe and Ms Anna Jarvis. In 1912, Anna Jarvis trademarked the phrases "second Sunday in May" and "Mother's Day", and created the Mother's Day International Association. Mother's Day is celebrated to honor all mothers and express gratitude for the hardships they bear in bringing up a child. The Resolution for having a dedicated Mother's Day was signed by US President Woodrow Wilson on May 8, 1914. Since then people across the world have been celebrating Mothers Day with joy and devotion. It is celebrated on various days in many places around the world. Most countries including US, Australia, Canada and India celebrate Mothers Day on the second Sunday of May.

The Benefits of Coffee

Coffee: The New Health Food?

Plenty of health benefits are brewing in America's beloved beverage.


By Sid Kirchheimer, WebMD Feature

Reviewed by Michael W. Smith, MD


Want a drug that could lower your risk of diabetes, Parkinson's disease, and colon cancer? That could lift your mood and treat headaches? That could lower your risk of cavities?


If it sounds too good to be true, think again.


Coffee, the much maligned but undoubtedly beloved beverage, just made headlines for possibly cutting the risk of the latest disease epidemic, type 2 diabetes. And the real news seems to be that the more you drink the better.


Reducing Disease Risk

After analyzing data on 126,000 people for as long as 18 years, Harvard researchers calculate that compared with not partaking in America's favorite morning drink, downing one to three cups of caffeinated coffee daily can reduce diabetes risk by single digits. But having six cups or more each day slashed men's risk by 54% and women's by 30% over java avoiders.

Coffee: The New Health Food?

This article is great news if you're a coffee drinker!! I love having my cup of coffee everyday. Take a look at the article and the following websites for information about healthy, organic coffee:

South FL Weather & The Beach

Well, some of the great things about living in South Florida have certainly showed themselves this weekend. My Aunt was in town from Kansas and she of course wanted to go to the beach. No matter how often or infrequent you go to the beach or even if you aren't a beach person, once down there, it's always enjoyable. A day like today really makes you say "I really need to take advantage of this more often." Today, the weather was great. It was breezy and not too hot and it allowed for us to enjoy the outdoors all day right before the effects of the cold front could be felt! I love when it gets cold down here cause it's just right. We don't freeze too much but we get to enjoy some of the colder weather (that's if you like it). So all in one day we got the warm beautiful beach day and the colder air!!
