The Dangers of Candles

Although candles are safe when you are keeping a close watch on them, I wanted to post this photo of the candle I was burning on our kitchen ledge, when my ear could hear a crackling noise.
Next thing I looked and the whole side of the candle was burning away, with the dish filled with wax, and a flame shooting out the side! Yeesh! Keep watch over your burning candles- things CAN happen.

Review: POP Chips

Snacking is Fun!
Our home was lucky to recieve a box full of great tasting Pop Chips.We recieved original,bbq,sea salt and vinegar,sour cream&onion,salt &pepper,and cheddar.
These were tasty! I wish we would have had more.Almost like a mini rice cake, flavourful and crispy. Their healthy and delicious-all natural, no preservatives,no artificial colors or flavours, no cholesterol, no saturated fat and 0 grams of trans fat. Our family loved these since we have food allergies to so many snacks.
Pop Chips are available at many retailers, or can be ordered directly online.
We would definately give them the thumbs up.

Ways to Save Money on Your Home Business

When it comes to working nothing beats having a home business that you can run to bring in the money you need to pay your bills. But with a home business sometimes comes the need to scale back and save money wherever possible. This may seem like it is a near impossibility but if your home business is like many you are on a limited budget and really don't have a choice.


The good news is there are plenty of places where you can save in your home business that you may not have considered before, here are a few of them:


Advertising: Every business, including a home business, needs to advertise. This can be rather costly but you can combat that cost by doing a lot of the advertising yourself. Instead of hiring a company to get your home business name out you can hit the streets and do it on your own. Join the local Chamber of Commerce and other social networking clubs and begin to meet and greet people who will help you to build your home business. You can also do some self advertisement online utilizing some of the social media outlets such as FaceBook and Twitter. The point is to get motivated and get your name out there.


Create your own website: This sounds scary on the outset but rest assured that you too can create your own website these days. There are many website builders that have premade templates for you to chose from that will create the entire site design for you. All you will have to do after that is simply plug in some text and pictures and before you know it you will have just created a professional looking website on your own. The savings you will realize is simply amazing.


Comparative shop everything: Compare prices on anything and everything that you can. If your home business is online then you can price shop different web hosting companies and save yourself some money by electing to go with the most cost effective one. You can also price your Internet provider and compare what you pay with other providers. This can instantly save you money on a monthly basis. Compare prices on everything else as well from computers to printer to printer paper. Saving a little here and there begins to really add up over time.


Hire your family: If you are at a point in your home business where you find it necessary to hire on some help then go the cheap route and hire your family. Your spouse is probably more than willing to pitch in a bit and if you have kids then you can also get them to do some tasks for you as well. The added help usually only costs you a few hugs and kisses and maybe an increase in allowance.


Running your home business in a successful manner requires you to be savvy and thrifty all at the same time. By cutting back on some little things you may be able to breathe just a bit easier when it comes time to pay the bills.

Wishing You All A Happy New Year Ramblings

How many of  you are going out tonight and celebrating? Perhaps having friends in, or sitting with your honey for a few drinks on the couch, waiting for the New Year to ring in? I'm not too sure what I'll be doing by midnight or if I'll be staying up.We didn't go out.The girls both were going out tonight.

Anyone with  New Year's Resolutions? That's something I don't think I've ever done.

My daughter,Erika, said there was people buying up all the fireworks at the convenience store today,( one of her part time jobs), but it's so cold here in the winter that it doesn't make it enjoyable.We did try it a few years in the past but were so cold. I didn't even get out of the vehicle- just Gerry, my brother and his boys did.More enjoyable for things like that in the summer.

We will be taking down all the Christmas decorations tommorow. How long do you keep your decorations up for?

I would like to wish you all  a very happy New Year, filled with all your dreams and wishes, good health and happiness, from our family to yours!
