Cleaning Up

My friend just purchased a rental property in NC and I am trying to help her out by figuring out how to rent the place out while she's not using it. I didn't realize how much was involved in something like this because most of the people I know have their places in a subdivision of sorts where cleaning and other services are combined. She was lucky and found house cleaning services holly springs nc that have great prices so that she can maintain the place well and know that it is taken care of. I'm so excited for her that she now has a retreat and a source of income!

Keeping my daughter's bedroom reasonably organized

Guest post written by Michele Rogers

Now, I don't expect my 8-year-old daughter to keep everything in her room completely organized and in place. But, it's been an issue here lately because it seems like I can rarely find a clear path on the floor of her room. I would really love to have the space for her to not only walk around but also be able to play in her own room. So I'm taking on the task of really getting her bedroom organized.

The stuff that probably takes up the most room in her room is all of her play clothes. She has so many of them and gets a lot of use out of them. I was online looking up for some good storage solutions for those play clothes and while I was doing that, I ran across a lot of info on Bathroom Remodeling. I looked through it quite a bit and after that I decided to get our guest bathroom remodeled. We had our master bathroom remodeled quite a while ago for some pleasing results.

I ordered her a nice little wardrobe for her dress up clothes in a step toward her organized kids bedroom. It's pink, which is just her style so of course she's going to love it.

Old School

I think it's kind of funny (and sad) that sometimes it seems our kids aren't learning what we did. Well, I'm sure they aren't since standards keep changing and such, but the things I hear asked can be so simple and they have no idea what they are. I overheard someone asking what micrometers are as if it was something completely foreign. I haven't had to sit and do homework in a number of years and having one starting into school all over again is going to totally throw me off, I think. LOL

Costumes

DS has to come up with some sort of costume for one of his classes. I can't remember exactly for what, but there's nothing that can be pre-bought about it, each kid has to come up with original ideas that they've pieced together themselves. I thought that was great considering how many fallbacks there are now, I never would have thought that buying a kit for your mission project would be acceptable. He's decided to go and look through some welding supplies and get a start there. I thought that was a great idea considering some of the shapes things come in. Hopefully he ends up with something fantastic.

YAY for TV!

It's been so long since I've actually been willing and able to sit down and watch TV like a normal person, I had really began to miss it. Since my BF has gone back to work, I've been having some nice evenings sitting around watching "dumb" TV and I love it! LOL! It's really funny to see what types of show's the networks have come up with, I never thought I'd see something about cloning your pets or extreme cheapskates. Of course it is pretty stupid, but I also find it interesting to see what other people do and how they live...and of course, have a good laugh when I think they're being totally outrageous.

Child Safety

One thing I love about my kids growing up is that I don't have to worry about child-proofing every place we stay or end up moving to. It always concerned me that they would get into something they shouldn't be once my back was turned. The thing I never understood is the people that have pools and choose not to use proper pool fences to keep their kids safe, especially when you hear about all the tragedies that happen during each summer. It would be great if it was set into law, in my opinion.

Picking Up Something New

I have always wanted to learn the ways of earning money online but some of it has just gone right over my head lol. I've never quite learned the tricks of the trade when it comes to PPC advertising. A couple friends and I have tried to figure out the ins and outs but it's not as straightforward as we thought it would be because of all the different methods out there.

I think I might have found a place that I think might be able to help me out though. They handle both the advertiser and publisher side of things and have a host of tools and services to help out with. There is even a community there so I know that I will always have someone to turn to and people to learn alongside. That's really what I'm looking for because when I learn something new I like to know every side of it that I can, which is normally why I will choose to start at the bottom of a company. You can never know too much about something.
