IT’S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN……

August 24, 2009 – 3:10 pm
Yep, back to school is here. I know the dreaded words that say the summer is over, and back to our crazy daily lives. I don’t have kids, but I do know that when it was back to school time for me, my favorite part was the new clothes we would get for school. Now new clothes are never easy on the budget; but my mom and her friends came up with this tradition that we used to do year after year, and it was a huge success! So if your budget is tight this year try this! Host a clothing swap Invite friends and relatives to meet at your home for a 2-hour clothing swap. Everyone brings clean kids clothing and puts them into designated piles (i.e. girls' tops, boys' shirts, skirts, dresses etc.) Everyone gets to take home the same number of freebies as they brought in.

ALLERGY SEASON….YUCK!!!!

May 21, 2009 – 10:50 am
Allergy season is here! And if you suffer as much as I do this time of year; here are some helpful hints that might help you make it through! Marilyn Buy throw rugs Replace your carpets with throw rugs, and you'll achieve two major benefits. First, you'll eliminate your home's biggest collector of dust, pollen, pet dander, and mold. Second, you'll make keeping your home allergen-free much easier. Make at least one room a sanctuary If you can't afford central air and don't want to rip the wall-to-wall carpeting out of every room in your house, there's still hope. Make just one room a sanctuary. Do it by air-conditioning the room in summer, sealing it from the rest of the house (by keeping the door closed), replacing carpets with throw rugs, encasing linens in allergen-proof cases, and keeping it dust-free. Keep it clean People with allergies fare better when dust and grime ...

Can beer actually reduce your risk of Cancer? Well new research say it just might! Here’s the latest on the subject from msn.ca. Marilyn The Latest Trick To Reduce Your Risk Of Cancer How can soaking steak in beer cut your risk of cancer? You don’t often see advice suggesting that a person should eat more beef.

Sickness In The Work Place

January 22, 2009 – 11:37 am
Achewww! Ewwww…could someone get me a Kleenex - quick? How often in the weeks between Thanksgiving and Easter do you find yourself backing away from a drippy, germy, sneezy, co-worker who can hardly stand up but just had to come to work ? It seems there are two “sickness styles” in the workplace: Type 1: Stoic Sick This person is of the attitude that as long as you are breathing you’re well enough to work. These are the people who are so committed to getting the job done that they will come to work barf bag in hand, with 105 degree fever and work through everything from minor heart attacks to broken limbs. Type 2: Silly Sick These people are of the attitude that the slightest ailment or injury warrants three paid sick days, complete with co-worker sympathies. These are the people who wear even the teeniest of ailments like a ...

But we lack every detail in the strategy department – and we’re going to look at that right now. Get Real First and foremost it is extremely important to make realistic goals.
