Scholarships for Graduating Seniors

2012-06-07T07:21:00.000-07:00

College Hunt for Scholarships

I really should of posted this earlier for those of you looking for scholarships for your kids. There are a lot of scholarships available, so everyone says, you have to search for the one that is available to your financial status, religion, ethnic race, etc. There is a site cappex.com where you sign up, there is quite a bit of forms to fill out, but well worth it. It will send you scholarships that you can apply for. You can even pick the school you are interested in attending. The college that you want to attend can also have their own scholarships and grants. You need to be in contact with the schools counselor to help you find the money to attend. Don't rely on your high school counselor to help you get these scholarships and grants. They have so many students to keep up with and but they are there for local scholarships, which is great. They will point you in the right direction to help but you have to go out and get them. Work, search, and search, everyday. Sign up for everything you can. Free Money is Free Money it wont come out of your pocket. Don't forget about the silly ones, Doritos for a year, free computer, etc. I did not find any of these but I know they are out there.
My oldest Graduated this year. She decided which college she wanted to attend and went for it. She applied for the scholarship that was for that college and she received an 80,000 scholarship from that College. She kept in contact with the counselor which found her a grant for extra 16,000!!!! She also received a local scholarship of 1000. Don't let this money fool you it sounds like a lot, but reality is she will need more to go to college. She has worked very hard while she was in high school to keep her grades up, and it worked!! I am a very Proud Mother!! She went after what she wanted. She will be a college professor, and may even a counselor. She is outstanding in everything she does, she has become an individual, confident, and I am proud of who she is. She still needs Mommy though :) Love you Punkin!!!

Be sure to visit the college and make the most of it. Attend small and large ones to see which is comfortable for your child. Most colleges have a website so that they can meet the "new graduating class" This way they can have friends before they attend. Be sure to go to orientation to really get familiar with school, counselors, new friends. Best of Luck.

Eureka Vacuum

2012-02-16T00:30:00.000-08:00

I recently purchased this bold yellow bag-less 12.5 amp vacuum.
If you look in the store at vacuums there are no bags in the vacuums anymore, they are becoming obsolete. I have had my bag vacuum for some time, over five years. I figured as long as it sucked, it still worked. Ooh was I wrong. I noticed my sucking power wasn't working as well as it should, may be due to the fact that I can no longer purchase the correct bags for the machine.

Johnny Cat

I purchased a Eureka. I had already vacuumed the floor once with old vacuum, then I used the new vacuum, WOW~ This picked up so much hair and dirt. Yuk Due to the fact that you can see what you are now pulling out of your carpet, not sure but considering that I had already vacuum once with the old vacuum I was impressed with Eureka. Might I ad I vacuumed my little 8 X 10 carpet 3 X's untill I was no longer vacuuming hair up. I own 2 cats and 2 dogs and I need a vacuum that will pick up all that hair.
This vacuum allows you to take out the canister and take out the filter and wash it. I am loving it. I like Clean. I bought this one on sale for 59.00, it may be cheaper elsewhere but that's what I paid. It is not the one pictured here.

Best Animated Valentine Card

2012-02-14T05:26:00.000-08:00

Happy Valentines Day!

Did you forget to buy a card? Save the trees send an animated card by Jacquie Lawson. I received one of her cards for Christmas. I loved it! It is better than receiving an regular card. You get all the emotion, joy, happiness, tears, all the feeling in one animated card. Please Preview her Cards. You can join her membership for only 12.00 a year or 18.00 for two years. That is 3 paper cards. So this saves you money plus your 'going green'.

This is a little blurb off of her website.
"The classiest e-cards on the web
Back in the year 2000, Jacquie Lawson, an English artist living in the picturesque village of Lurgashall in Southern England, created an animated Christmas card featuring her dog and cats, and her 15th-century cottage, and sent it to a few friends for their amusement. Those friends sent the e-card to others, and within weeks Jacquie was inundated with requests from all over the world to design more e-cards. In February 2002 she teamed up with a few friends and family members to create jacquielawson.com."

www.internationaldelight.com

Leaving the house without coffee this morning because I ran out, I was on my way to buy some. I was thinking of buying one of the small bottles of cold coffee on the way out when I spotted the ICED COFFEE by International Delight. You get your choice of original, mocha, or vanilla. You can buy this half gallon for $3.98, cheaper than buying at fast food place. I already know International Delight is a quality brand. I use their brand of Vanilla Creamer in my coffee. So I never had an issue that this wouldn't be anything but good. Well, This is really good! I bought the original. It is so creamy and sweet, but not so sweet, like some fast food places tend to make it. It has 100% Premium Arabica Coffee, so smooth and Delicious! I am very impressed with how great this is. You would not think that being in a carton that it would taste like it was freshly made, but it does. You can like them on Facebook and enter to win. Sign up for coupons and specials on their site www.internationaldelight.com I am thinking of using this in my truffle recipe. This is also distributed by WhiteWave Foods, where I found the truffle recipe video.

Kindle Fire from Amazon review

Kindle Fire

This is "amazing" quote from daughter.
There are so many free apps to download. Books Galore that are free. Fits perfectly inside your purse when on the go. Battery life is long. You can download videos, movies, books, games, check your email, etc.
She has already read five books. YEAH! This was so easy to get her to read. I go to amazon look at FREE books, put them in a wish list and she reviews them and downloads what she wants. Yea Mom. Now if I can get her to download a game to study math with and have her actually play.
It has froze twice, downloading games. We did have a problem with our wi-fi in house, but we moved the stuffed animal that was attacking our netgear and it works fine now. We have no complaints yet. Owned about two weeks. LOVE IT!

SHARK STEAM MOP

2012-01-17T03:51:00.000-08:00

Shark Steam Mop

This is a great mop. It is very simple, light weight, easy to use, easy to push, removable washable pads. I have never liked mops, I have always got on my hands and knees to make sure the floor is clean. This Shark Steam Mop works great, it really gets the floor clean. It is very simple to use, comes with a measuring cup, a funnel and a Velcro removable, washable pads. You can even purchase more pads individually. You do not use any cleaners in the mop, however I have sprayed cleaner on floor in tough spots. I own cats and dogs so I always worry about making them sick, now I don't have to worry. And you don't have purchase any extra stuff to go with this mop, everything is in the box. Make a note to shop around for this little guy, I bought "on sale" for $49.00 I could have purchased at a local store for $20.00
I really like this Shark Steam Mop and if I was to buy again I would purchase the whole set of Steamers. Did I mention I really like it. Its worth buying!! My daughter even likes to mop now!! Yea for me.

BHG COFFEEMAKER WITH GRINDER

2011-06-09T06:13:00.000-07:00

Looking for a new coffee maker that was not glass and of course I wanted stainless steel on black, I came across the BHG Coffee Maker. It has a pull out filter stainless canister, grinder, programmable, everything I wanted.

Well, I do not like it. It has no inside lines in or on the canister to tell how much water you are putting into it, the removable filter is hard to tell which way to put back in, there is no function on the grinder to let you select your fine ground, and the canister also has a twist on lid, that has to be on and in closed position to make the coffee, it is hard to put back on. I have tried to leave it completely off and the coffee went everywhere, you have to have it screwed on, and in the off position. When pouring the coffee you now have to turn it to the open position and attempt to pour, it is very slow.
I don't know about you but when I wake up in the morning I am not completely awake. And trying to maneuver all these things I have to do is not working it is very frustrating. It should not take me 20 min to make coffee in the morning. Why don't I program it you ask, I never remember, I am too busy with everything else and completely tired when I am done for the day. I am very dissatisfied with this coffee maker for the price I paid. I now use one I have the cost 10.00. Just sad :(

I really want to return for a different coffee maker but I do not know how or where to reach BHG. If you find out how please email me.

Pizza Rolls | The Girl Who Ate Everything

2011-03-25T16:21:00.000-07:00

Pizza Rolls | The Girl Who Ate Everything

Pizza Rolls

Pizza Dough (I bought fresh dough from the bakery or make her dough here)

1 teaspoon garlic salt
2 teaspoons basil
1 cup sliced pepperoni, chopped
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (or pepper-jack)
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Divide pizza dough in half. Roll each half into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick and 12 inches long. Just think about the size of a piece of paper. Sprinkle each half with equal amounts of garlic salt, basil, cheeses and pepperoni. Starting at a short end, roll dough up tightly to form a log. Slice into 1-inch pieces. Place rolls on lightly greased baking sheets. Bake for 10 minutes or until browned on top. Serve with warm marinara sauce for dipping.

Her recipe for dough makes enough dough for 2 pizzas. So if you just have one batch of dough half the recipe toppings. Makes 12 pizza rolls.
