What's Coming...

I am in Utah a few days this week training the crew to do more of my job. SCORE!  #winning

When I come back home, after I clean my house (because I know the husband and kids won't) and love on my kids and dogs,and restock the refrigerator, I have some new coupons for you and the following blog posts coming your way:

Popchips.  They're amazing! Finally a guilt free potato chip snack! 

Eden Fantasys.  Yes, a grownup post about the Vivid Girl Power Flex.  Wait for it....It will be on the personal blog but I'll let ya'll know when it's live. 

Fyrflys.  These are just good old fashioned fun! (check out @Fyrflyz on Twitter and Fyrflyz on Facebook)

How to choose???

The Author of this post is Solomon Dejesus

The biggest challenge I faced the entire time I was developing a business plan for my new company was choosing from all of the good domain names available at registrars online. I know that sounds absolutely ridiculous, but my entire marketing plan was based around developing an awesome website that funneled business directly to my front door. If I had chosen incorrectly, the whole thing could have gone up in smoke! It took me so long to make a decision I finally broke down and hired a small marketing agency to help me with the big stuff, which included building the website. I'm actually really glad I took the extra effort because now our entire campaign flows together in exactly the way I hoped it! would. I realized that selling should be my number one priority, but with a background in sales, I knew how important it was to get the business through the door in the first place. Without customers, who in the world was I going to sell anything to?

I Want New Chairs!


My kitchen set is very similar to the one pictured here. Rather than bright white, my table legs and chairs are an antique cream color.  My table top and chair seats are not dark wood but rather, a light oak with a butcher block look and feel.  And my set is what is called a “high top” meaning it is about 36 inches tall; versus my mother in law’s table that is around 30 inches tall.  What I want are new casual dining chairs. My table is in good shape but my chairs are old and tired.  They have been through the use and abuse of two children from toddler to teenage years.  They have lived through four teething puppies and one move that included a very long drive from Utah to Arizona.  Plus, I like the idea of new side chairs (considerably cheaper than buying a whole new dining set) allowing me to change up the look of my kitchen on a tight budget.  Not to mention different chairs would allow me to get some cushions which in turn makes sitting a much more pleasurable experience.  As it is now, the height of my table and the height of my chairs does not allow for the crossing of one’s legs, let alone giving any one a small bit of cushion between them and the hard wood.  I am totally into decorating on the cheap and there is no better way to brighten up a room than by changing around just a few small things.  New chairs and cushions might just take my kitchen to a whole new era in time and I might change the wall color too!
