Love Rocks with Tiny Prints

With Valentines Day approaching fast,it is time to start thinking about gifts for that special someone.I was browsing around looking at things yesterday when the Princess came in the room and asked what I was doing.I told her looking for Valentines gifts and of course she thought I meant for her so she points at the screen and says,"I want that one" to a huge,heart-shaped  box of chocolate.I agree with her,I want one too!

Over the course of my life I have selected some wild gifts for Valentines and done some crazy things too.I once sent my man a balloon with a big smiling picture of me on it.Another time I though I would go the sexy route and get myself a new lingerie ensemble to show off for my sweetie..too bad he came home with a few friends and no warning for me.I have dedicated a song on the radio,sent flowers to work,even made myself into a chocolate treat..all for the one I loved (or thought I did at the time).

I like that they have cards to suit everyone.My boys freaked out when I told them kids give each other Valentines in school.Gage made it a point to tell me no way was he giving lovey cards to the other boys in his class.I tried to explain that he can pick cards to suit his style but I don't think he believed me at all.

I like to be original or at the very least customize my gifts to reflect my personality or that of whomever will be receiving it.You can do this too by heading over to Tiny Prints and creating your own cute cards right now!

Box Tops for Education

I don't know about you,but I have been collecting box tops all year.Being that this is the first year we participated in public school,I was surprised by how many things had the tops on them that we already use in our home.

The Steelers Win!!

In case anyone didn't watch the hard hitting game yesterday..the Steelers beat the Ravens 31 to 24.Although both teams gave it a good try (and both made some stupid mistakes),the Steelers once again came out victorious.I myself believe the score would have been even more had the officials not been set against the Steelers from the start; but in the end,the best team won.Now only 1 more victory to go until they are in yet another Super Bowl..Go Steelers!!!!!

Gage loves his new Spectrum guitar and Heartland America Review

The top gift on my oldest sons list this year was a guitar.Gage told me he would do without anything else if necessary to get one.Because Gage is only 9,I  didn't want to invest tons of money into something he might get bored with or just decide he didn't like.When my mom asked what the kids wanted this year,I passed on Gage's message to her so she decided to make this her main gift to Gage.

You would think this would make me happy right? Well maybe if that didn't involve me tracking down a guitar that could be handled by a very rough 9 year old boy,in specific colors,with an amp and accessories included at a reasonable price! This was no easy feat.I started off by searching for electric guitars using my favorite search and win site.. Swagbucks. After hours of roaming looking from site to site to find just what I needed,I came across Heartland America. I had never been to this site and figured it would take forever to find what I wanted but thankfully the search for junior electric guitar resulted in the perfect find.There it was,right in front of me..Gage's perfect gift!

The Spectrum Custom Pro Guitar features a maple neck and fingerboard with jumbo frets, glossy black finish, black pick guard,  it has an adjustable truss rod, tremolo arm, 5-way pickup selector switch, two tone controls, volume control plus 10 professionally recorded backing tracks. Comes with plug-n-play mini amp, guitar strap, extra set of strings, cleaning cloth and picks! I found this at Christmas so I got an amazing deal.Normally $129.99, I got this for only 69.99! Plus because of their promotion at the time,I got free shipping with tracking which is normally $7.95. I also added a 1 year product agreement for only 4.99 reduced from $9.99. All in all I had it paid in full at only 74.98 from the normal price of  146.92!

Right now you can get this same package for $89.99 plus 3.95 shipping.Yes it is more than I paid but still a great discount price!

To say Gage was thrilled with his present would not be doing it justice..Gage loved his "big" gift,but you can bet he was gad he didn't have to do without any other ones too.

Philli -VS- Green Bay 16-21

As you know,I am a football fan.I have had a fascination with the sport since I was a teenager.Everyone knows I am a die hard Steelers fan.but I watch like all the games I can,especially during the playoffs.This has sure been a crazy weekend for football.I was surprised at the outcomes of a few games,especially the Philladelphia vs Green Bay game.

Now,I am not a fan of either team,but, being a betting person,my pick was of course.Philli..boy was I wrong!I have to say Vick just didn't look like he wanted it today.From delayed throws to just plain bad ones,he was not showing much for those looking to recruit him.Of course the bad catches,dropped balls and missed opportunities didn't help the cause any either.I expected much more from them as a team,but then again a team follows it's leader and well..in my opinion,they didn't have much to follow.

Green Bay did a good job of shutting down their offensive drives and Philli just couldn't get it done.Now it's off to face Atlanta Saturday for the Packers.Although they did a good job tonight,I don't see them doing the same thing to Atlanta.My pick for the game is definitely the Falcons..they just don't play around and I see them putting it all over Green Bay.
