We have all been there, you get home from a long days work, start to prepare dinner and that’s when it starts… Telemarketers know that you’re home, busy, distracted and most likely willing to do anything to get off the phone! It’s happened to me so many times that I want to share how I deal with telemarketers. I want to share my top ten answers that I give telemarketers when they call. Trust me these work! I almost get no phone calls at all now from telemarketers. Top 10 Answers to Telemarketers: 10. My Brother...

The 2010 World Cup started yesterday and everybody who knows me understands that there are some days where I will not be available….Many people are showing their support for their favorite team and I am no different. This is Greece’s second world cup appearance and I will be mentally blocked out from the world for each game they play! You have been warned haha. “Respect for the game” means that there are certain times and certain things that we each need to respect as time for ourselves, our own little indulgences....
Just got back from filling up my cart with Royale toilet paper. On sale this week at Maxi! I don’t know about you but I am always on the lookout for toilet paper sales! I was a few rolls away from running out completely but I was holding out for a good sale! Toilet paper can be so expensive… sometimes I see it at around $10 for 24 rolls! Way way too much! I just paid $4.97 for 30 rolls! So on that note for all you toilet paper savers go pick up some quality Royale toilet paper for a great price! Happy shopping! ~Nadia ...
I’m tired….. I hate it when those words come out of my mouth! And to be honest I hate it when they come out of anyone’s mouth! Why do we do this to ourselves? Why are we always tired and always complaining of being tired? If we are tired then shouldn’t we just sleep? My hubby tells me that I torture myself some nights trying to stay awake and he is right! Why don’t I just SLEEP!! I feel like it is such a waste of time! And I really don’t know what the ‘normal’ amount of sleep. How...
We all like making smart purchases and when thinking of items to buy for the house, you need to do your research and be smart. One thing to consider when making a purchase is how much the item will be used, daily, weekly, monthly….this plays an important role in how much you could spend on an item. Very simple, buy quality for items you use daily! For example, you want to buy a new coffee machine. There is a wide range of choices, from $15 and up. We had bought one of the cheaper machines, and you know what, we got a good couple...
“Lower the blinds!!!” “Close the window!” “Shut the door!” These are all sentences I have yelled at my husband recently as I dart into other rooms, down the hallway, back into the bathroom or even hit the deck for cover. Our cozy home is a bungalow… something I am not used to. Growing up I lived in a two level house with a big tree in front of my second floor room. I never had to worry about someone seeing into my room. In our lovely little bungalow however we are at street level… which...
Those close to me know that I have two passions, the first being cooking and the second being gardening. When spring come around I get all excited and start planning what plants I am going to buy and bring those that I store over the winter outside. I have talked about cooking here and now I want to talk a little about how a plant can help bring some life to your home. Being green isn’t just about recycling or buying bio-environment products, it’s also about bringing green to your life and enjoying nature. Ok, so you’re...
Money Money Money!!!! It is a part of our lives whether we like it or not and whether we have it or not! The question is how can we make more, find more, save more? I have the perfect solution…. I got my husband a coin counting jar as a funny gift. Little did I know that without very much effort we would have $150 in no time! Yes when you add all your pennies and change up, it actually counts!!! My advice for the night is start counting your pennies…. you may be on your way to Mexico with the money you find sitting around! I’m...

Hey everyone, I wanted to dedicate this post to my girlfriends who are always there when I need them. According to statistics Canada women live longer than men – 78 vs 83! I think a major reason could be that men are more stressed than women are. The major difference between men and women in dealing with their stress is that we have a better support system than they do. Women talk… about everything to their friends. They share most of their daily issues with the people around, their friends and their mothers. From family...
