Want A Better Bathroom?

June 29th, 2008 · by Head Mommy · Uncategorized · No Comments

I always wanted a bathroom suite so when I had the opportunity to review this site let me tell you I jumped on it since planning my dream bathroom was going to be so much fun. I know I need to find more fun things to do but honestly a great bathroom is like having a personal spa. At least for me it is. Right now my bathroom..I can’t even take a bath in it the tub is too small and you have to move inch by inch to roll over from one side to another. That just isn’t cutting it people! I am too adorably chubby to deal with that.

Now the perfect bathroom suite for me would be the size of a master bedroom with a claw foot tub or jacuzzi tub…and a shower system with the six heads that massage your whole body. Granted, I wouldn’t have any clue on how to design it to make it look nice. But  a girl can dream can’t she? I have a dream…that one day I will have a bathroom suite that will make Oprah jealous. Yes, I am evil. Now on to the more important subject..my beautiful spa. They had gorgeous selections of whirlpool baths which with a couple of candles some beautiful not overly fragrant flowers a T.V. installed in that bathroom…well I’d be a giant prune for the rest of my life. I will install a food tray slot in the door so I wouldn’t have to leave and people can just drop off my food and get away. Since, its your personal time in the bathroom. DO NOT DISTURB ME IN MY SANCTUARY. Granted, for the mom’s out there. That will never happen if you have wee ones running around. But once they are in bed for the night…Have your partner watch out for them and you..you relax in that bathroom since you deserve it.

Now if you are not salivating over these selections..well I just don’t know what kind of help you would get to fix you!

Book Review: The Prosperity Bible

June 29th, 2008 · by Linda · Books & Authors · No Comments

The Greatest Writings of All Time On The Secrets To Wealth And Prosperity

Tarcher/Penquin published a compilation of nineteen authors from Napoleon Hill and Benjamin Franklin to Emmet Fox. These are the best teachers, with true success stories, you will find on the subjects of wealth and prosperity. This book is a goldmine! They’ve even got Florence Scovel Shinn, who was my introduction to the Universal wealth laws many years ago.

When I received this book to review I grabbed it and screamed! The cover is navy blue with silver writing which causes you to want to open it and begin, anywhere! It’s like a magical blue box. No doubt in my mind that it will become your official “nightstand” book. Read a couple pages or a chapter before retiring at night and let the message invoke itself. Each of the nineteen authors has their groundbreaking wealth and prosperity books or pamphlets re-printed in this book - 19 books in 1! Several of the individual books are already on my bookshelf, despite being worn and highlighted, and a few I hoped to purchase soon. The law of attraction in action? You bet - it works and this compilation more than proves it.

There is something for everybody. Although the subject matter is theoretically the same, each chapter will approach it from a different angle to help each reader grasp the importance of our day-to-day tasks, attitudes and thoughts. These authors have inspired and paved the way for a myriad of contemporary authors - Louise Hay, Wayne Dyer, Rhonda Byrne, Anthony Robbins, Shakti Gawain, Deepak Chopra, etc. - and continue to this day. You cannot put this book down and walk away with “hogwash” under your breath. I truly, sincerely hope you get this book for yourself and take your time with it, reflect on its messages and implement it into your life. You will be so fortunate (in more ways than one) when you do.

My family and close friends - should they be reading this - already know what gift I will be buying for each and every one of them.

Rating: ★★★★★ This book breaks that scale. It’s a 10, seriously.

Amazon.com Coupon Codes!

June 29th, 2008 · by Head Mommy · Uncategorized · No Comments

Coupon Codes Mall for me is a new site with great resources. If you are a frequent reader then you know how much I love my coupons and how I love to save every penny I can on an item. Heck, who doesn’t it? If you don’t well then I wish I had money like yours!

Coupon Codes Mall has a great resource for the millions if not billions of Amazon customers. Their Amazon Coupon page is filled with hundreds of coupons you can find through the percentage off.  Being me of course I went straight to the 90% off. They had an amazing collection of suits. I am so bookmarking this page, I have been wanting to get Fil a suit for the longest time. Every man needs a staple suit that he can wear to any occasion. Wedding or funeral. We always are on short notice for the latter so I think having one so we don’t have to keep going out the night before and getting everything ready for the funeral/mass the next day would be a lot nicer than running around like a chicken without our heads.

They had a gorgeous collection of Cuff Links, belts and even dozens of items for women. For their 90% off section I found through this website they had almost 400 items I could get at a steal! I was in heaven let me tell you! Granted some of the search results did not bring up 90% items but still they were an amazing steal! However, Amazon needs to get its act together their furniture and decor section brought up cellphone chargers! However, sifting through I did find a few nice finds.

Check out the site today and tell me which other places you found through them that had some amazing steals!

Cord Blood Banking Services

June 29th, 2008 · by Head Mommy · Uncategorized · No Comments

This topic which may be new to you, was unknown to me. When this company purchased a review from Pajama Mommy I thought it was high-time for me to learn exactly what Cord Blood Banking is, and its benefits. However, this may be very controversial to some people. Please note that we always focus on the positives and give a non political or personal view to topics such as these. We only want to inform you what it is and the benefits that you personally can derive from it.

Now if you were like me and were not familiar with the term I had to do a little research. Cord Blood Banking means you’re freezing your umbilical cord for use of the stem cells if any thing were to happen to your wee one.  According to their website over 45 different disorders have been treated with the cells from your cord blood so this is actually something serious you need to talk to your partner about, or if you are doing this alone you may want to discuss this with your doctor. Cord blood storage is something I really didn’t know about but I am definitely going to look into it because you never know what you may have or may need in the future. If everything with your child is fine that is great and I know everyone is happy for you. However, for some they aren’t so lucky. The cells from saving cord blood could cure or treat variety of disorders your child may have that if you hadn’t saved it, your child would suffer their whole life from.

Their fee’s are a lot less expensive than I imagined. It is cheaper if you store it for 20 years. However, discuss with your doctor the appropriate length and if you plan on having more children if the cells can be used for more than one child so that way you aren’t spending this per child. For 20 years it can cost over $3,000, however for 1 year it is a little over $1,000 so financially it is cheaper to go for the 20 years than it is for saving it for 1 to 5 years.

Book Review: The New Science of Getting Rich - Revised for the 21st Century by Wallce D. Wattles, Edited by Ruth L. Miller

June 24th, 2008 · by Linda · Books & Authors · 2 Comments

At first, this book did not sit well with me. Why can’t we just leave a classic alone? It’s like movie colorization; if the film was made in black & white then for goodness sake let it be black & white. The original book is a classic and for good reason.

In 1910 when Wallace D. Wattles wrote The Science of Getting Rich, legend has it that he wrote it for coalminers to better their financial situation. Whether or not that’s true, the writing in 1910 was much different from our 21st century but very well written. Wallace was an extremely intelligent man with an actual equation on how to become rich. He explains in precise detail how it can be done. Also, don’t forget one of the greatest teachings, “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” That’s part of what Wattles meant.

But it’s so much more than that. He will continually elaborate on “There is a Thinking Stuff from which all things are made and which, in its original state, permeates, penetrates, and fills the interspaces of the universe.” One of his examples is if you are wishing for a sewing machine, don’t just sit and think about it expecting it to materialize, there is action on your part that you must take. You can and will become rich if you follow his instructions.

I’m sure it is well-documented by now that Rhonda Byrne was given a paperback version of Mr. Wattle’s book a few years ago and went on to become rich and famous worldwide for making The Secret. Now, if that’s not taking the information from the original book and applying it, I don’t know what is.

Is this book a good read? Yes, for those who have difficulty with the original, because Ruth L. Miller breaks down the paragraphs and chapters for a more updated explanation. An added perk is the original text is included. Here’s the irony: if Ms. Miller’s wish was to profit from a great writer who perhaps is one of her favorites then she succeeded and kudos to her.

Rating: ★★★★★ Getting your hands on this book is something you should wish for.

Tools to Life: Self Help and Self Development

June 20th, 2008 · by Head Mommy · Uncategorized · 2 Comments

There is a lot to be said about self help programs. My mother has been using them for years and I grew up with all the as I thought “annoying” responses and advice. Sometimes I had wished I just had one of those “normal” families. However, I am not grateful for the fact that I did not. I am more open to things that most wouldn’t be had I not learned through my mother.

Recently, I have gone through the turmoil and hit my proverbial rock bottom of my life.  I have turned to local support groups, reading books and getting into more of the self help. Granted, I have to watch the amount I am spending so I cannot necessarily goto a counselor as per setting money aside for the upcoming wee one. So I have been doing what I can and when Tools for Life purchased a review, I was genuinely thrilled with the fact that it had come at the right moment. I am taking full advantage of this site and everything that it offers. Finding support groups and a team of people who are going through what you are going through. Granted, I could go to CODA or ALA-NON or any of those local groups, which I have found helpful. However, sometimes in my “off-time” you need to still focus on yourself. Focus on being better is my main priority.

I know a lot of my lovely readers have things in their life they need help with, websites like these are absolutely worth every penny you can put into it. However, the best part of this website is the fact that it is 100% free. So that is what keeps me going back. Knowing that they aren’t demanding payments for me trying to find and connect to those who are going through the same issues that I am. Their variety of Self Help  programs is just amazing. They have inspirational motivation programs which keeps you wanting to move forward. My last absolute favorite thing is that they connect you to life coaching support groups sometimes you need someone to step in and help you. We can’t take on all the problems at once. Sometimes we have to cherry pick what we’re going to choose to deal with that day. That is our right.

So sign up today and help yourself to some self help..erm did that make sense?

InGrid Safety of Mind Safety of the Home

June 19th, 2008 · by Head Mommy · Business, Home & Garden, Parenting · 4 Comments

I had the great opportunity to review an easy to install home security system recently. I absolutely loved it. This system is perfect for business owners to home owners.

Your security system is similar to Vonage where it is connected to a high-speed internet connection. You receive a telephone, a base unit, sensors, grid extenders, and a key chain remote.They have built in redundant systems in those incidents where the internet does go out.

Let me tell you it was super easy to install. I cannot stress that point enough. You didn’t have to worry about walking in the door and only having a few seconds to disarm the alarm. They offer so many better options and you get notifications sent to your email letting you know when people are coming and going throughout the day or night.

This is a great monitoring system for small businesses (tracking foot traffic during the day, and suspicious behavior at night.) The best way to tell which system is best for you in checking out the comparasion chart. I love reading these since I like to know what I am missing from this place or that.

I live in a pretty decent neighborhood but there is always that chance, and with the new baby on the way even though I have a basement apartment I still want to feel safe if I have a baby-sitter or when the wee one gets older and can watch his or herself. I just want to make sure i know whats going on when I am not around. Granted you could get one of those teddy cams but they have limited visibility. With InGrid you may not exactly see whats going on in your house but you do know when people are coming and going, and being able to arm it from a keychain or a computer from overseas. You don’t have to worry about the “Did I live the oven on?” syndrome we all get when we’re traveling.

The best part of InGrid is the simple fact that they are always striving for new and improved systems. They are working for cellular redundancy, and video alarm verification.

Now you may be wondering….This sounds all to good, so how many limbs do I have to chop off to afford this system? Well it all depends on how you set it up. You can buy the home kit and work month to month but the kit is a little more expensive that way. ($399.99). The monthly amount for their monitoring services is $29.99.

Now you can still get notifications without their contract but you won’t have a team of professionals on the other end ready to notify the fire department, or the police. So I definitely think getting the contract is not only better financially (it brings down the home kit by $100) but you also feel safer.

I definitely love it and recommend it to my friends and families. You should too! Check it out today InGrid Home Security Systems.
