Things got rocky, job-wise, and CJ made the decision to quit his full time freelance writing gig and head back into the workforce. He landed at job at Martin Guitars but through a temp. agency, so there is no guarantee of a permanent position.

We knew we would have to make some changes because we still wanted our adults only 'DisneyMoon' in March. I mean, I had already started looking for my bass shoes & coupons as well as a new bathing suit!

To save money, we made the decision to cancel our stay at the Polynesian and use DVC points for our March stay. This breaks my heart cause I LOVE the Polynesian but financially, it just made sense.

We are going to stay at Animal Kingdom Lodge - Jambo House. We stayed there in June and liked it a lot. We had a pool view:




In March we got a Savanna view. This should be interesting. So many people rave about the view and being able to wake up in the morning seeing animals roaming around.

These two normally detest each other. Today, however, they did arts and crafts together, on their own, and had fun! *passes out*


They made animals out of hearts. I know, sounds odd. They got the idea from the magazine My Big Back Yard. Here are the finished masterpieces:

No matter your age you likely have some concept of red wagons and what they mean to you. Little red wagons are a great piece of history as well as extremely popular today. The offer dual duty by giving kids something great to play with and providing transportation for their things, their friends and in a lot of cases the children by the parents. Thanks to so many amazing options available now in red wagons you can be sure to find something great that provides hours of great fun for the kids or a great mode of transportation on a long walk.

One of the favorites out there is the Pack and Go Canopy Wagon. This is an amazingly cool way to transport your toddler around the town. You can take those long walks you want in the evening with this awesome jump in and go product. It seats to kiddos facing each other and has a great canopy to keep out the sun. It also has neat cup holders on the front to stash the water in and a pack on the back that stores other things like sun block and snacks. The thing turns on a dime making it super easy to get around on a sidewalk.

Whether you have one or three kids you can find cheap red wagons that will bring the same memories to your kids as you had from your child hood. Who doesn't have an old picture of them as a kid with their radio flyer? There are some things in life that are always basic and become a part of our history. Standing the test of time are those things that you remember that your children can identify with today. They definitely provide an ongoing connection through the generations from a parent to a child. Some things are just worth sharing with your kids and this is one of them.

I've been trying to get work done today but it has been difficult. It all started when I decided to browse the Internet looking for a dependable welding helmet to get my friend's son for a gift. It all went downhill from there.

I just can't seem to get it together today. It's raining outside too, so hat doesn't help! I seriously need a do-over!

I know I'm late in posting this, but Lauren Klein is doing another giveaway! This ends tonight at midnight EST but there is still plenty of time to enter!

Back in December, Lauren Klein Jewelry gave away a 3 Line Stretch Gold Plated Swarovski Crystal Bracelet for the holidays and I hosted this giveaway.

The winner of the bracelet received it and sent a note back with her thoughts on the piece as well as a photo of her wearing the bracelet. Here is what she had to say:

"When I received this gorgeous bracelet, I had to take in a few deep breaths.

Very impressed with the look. There was an added bonus to the expensive

look... the bracelet can be slipped on with no danger of falling off the wrist. I can adjust

it to the level I want also when I feel that wave eccentricity take over me.

When the bracelet is in place, it just sparkles and makes me feel that either someone

or myself has spent a fortune on it."

Does anyone actually read a newspaper anymore? What about using the classifieds to find a job? I don't mean reading the newspaper online either, I mean actually thumbing through a newspaper. It's a new year and i know many people who are looking for better jobs or to make a change in careers.

I would rather look online for jobs, in fact, I just found a nice amount of Dental Technician Jobs online, just by searching for dental and medical jobs and then specifying the area I want.
