A better New Year

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

Since last year was pretty much an economic disaster for many people around the country, I decided to take a few steps to improve my own financial situation. Starting with the New Year, I have made a resolution to improve the way I handle my money and find ways to save the money I do have. One expense that I thought I could lower was car insurance. My current rate seems a bit high and so I am looking into going with another company to provide it. It would be nice to shave a few bucks off that bill!

Another thing I have done was to investigate other options. I was lucky to run across a nice little article online that has 30 Ways to Save Money. There were a lot of interesting tidbits of information on the page and they helped remind me of some of the bad practices I had gotten into. It’s amazing how we can waste so much money on little things that don’t seem to cost much!

I was talking with my sister about the situation and she reminded me of another way to save. She told me how she had been using coupon codes from the internet to save money. I checked it out and found that I had missed a lot of opportunities to save money over the past year. I am serious about not letting that happen to me again. I hope that everyone will have the foresight to become more conscious of how we spend our money. I am sure that if you try, you’ll find a few things yourself!

The Holiday Season is going strong!

Saturday, December 26th, 2009

This year’s holiday season has been very busy for us. We were able to accommodate all our family and guests at our blowout dinner. It seems that every member of the family dropped by at some point, and they are still coming strong. The best part is that we still have this weekend to celebrate until we all have to go back to work. Even so, it’s been a wonderful few days off and I am ready to face the world again!

Thanksgiving has arrived!

Thursday, November 26th, 2009

I have always considered Thanksgiving as one of the best holidays there are. It’s always a treat to gather up the family and celebrate the things we have. I am always grateful for the time we are able to spend together with our loved ones. I think that family is important and it’s good to see them all again.

The food is another part of the holiday that I enjoy. We always have turkey and all the trimmings that go with it. I especially enjoy the pumpkin pie and cookies! I guess I will have to suspend my diet for a day or two, but I am sure it will be worth it!

One last blast

Saturday, October 10th, 2009

It’s been a long hot summer and my family is happy that it’s almost over. We are all ready for the cooler weather to take over. But after thinking about it, we all decided that we wanted to take one last vacation before that happens. You know; a one last blast kind of thing. Since we had all enjoyed our last trip to a Myrtle Beach Resort, we thought we would return there for our trip.

As I was searching online to find out what options we had, I found that there were many Myrtle Beach Resorts to choose from. One of the newest ones was called the Avista Resort that looked like the best. The building was really interesting and the grounds around it were nice as well. I also knew that there would be plenty of things for everyone to do when we got there.

We have visited the area before and have always counted on the fact that we would receive great service during our trip. No matter which of the Myrtle Beach Hotels you visit, you can’t go wrong. Everyone is excited about the trip and I am sure that we will have plenty of pictures to share when we get back. The only thing left to do after that will be to start planning our winter trip!
