Paying Bills Online

I was doing bills today and started appreciating the fact that I have many of my bills taken directly out of my checking account each month. It makes my job easier....having fewer checks to write, and fewer stamps to buy. In fact, over the years I've added more and more bills to the "easy pay" option and love it!! We began with our auto insurance being taken out...and now some of our student loans and even our cable bill. If you don't have any of your bills taken out automatically, you should look into it....it's great!

Baby Products

Wow....before having Kaelyn I had no idea that there were so many baby products out there! I mean, there's something for everyone, isn't there?!? There are some really creative, and experienced people who have come up with some of the products for sale today. It really helps to make the lives of parents more convenient. I would say the only things that haven't changed much are diaper bags...although those from Ju Ju Be are quite nice and unique....and probably some of the toys that are still available. Other than that, at least since I was a baby...it seems like everything has changed in style, color...you name it. I wonder what they'll come up with next?!?

Great New Job!

With Scott's new job he has lots of perks! The benefits he gets are incredible. With his last job there were many things that he wasn't able to get....one being an allowance for work clothing and the other being much time off. This job is completely different. He has great ours, great vacation time available, a gas expense account, as well as an allowance for work uniforms. It helps us financially when his job will pay for some of these things. The only thing that they don't offer is money for shoes. Scott is in sales, so he's on his feet a lot. Tonight I think we're going to go to the mall and see if we can't find him a pair of shoes. Hopefully we'll be able to find something reasonably priced and nice.

Auto Body Shops

Somedays I don't think life could get any busier. I am sure it could...but it just feels that way sometimes when I'm trying to balance everything. I have found that I multitask a lot, as well as find the fastest way to get things done. For instance, I use the internet for many things now...work, communication, bills, shopping etc. I even do searching online. Like, if I need to find a local body shop in my town, I simply get online, look through maps and reviews and ratins and find the right one for me at autobodydowney.com. It's so easy and convenient...it makes life much easier that way. Now I can get online and find estimates and make appointments for the downey body shop all from my computer. It doesn't get much easier than that, now, does it?!

Is Winter Around the Corner?

It's really cold out the past few days. You can definitely tell that Fall is officially here. The leaves are beginning to fall and the temps are dropping....a typical Fall here in the Midwest. I have to say that I don't mind watching the leaves turn colors this time of year...but I do not like this cold weather at all. You'd think I would be used to it after living here my whole life, but I am not!! It's miserable having to put on layers just go outdoors. I hope that this isn't a sign winter is on it's way....
