As I’ve mentioned before, I’m planning to start a regular exercise routine when school is out for the summer. I plan to do stretching, walking, and exercises with light weights. I don’t think I’ll need pre workout supplements, but it’s always good to check things out and research for myself. Who knows, maybe they would be good even for the light exercise program I am planning to start.
Aren’t these cute plates? I found these at Dollar Tree a couple of years ago. I know they had them again last year, so they may have them this year, too.
You can plan an inexpensive graduation party by getting paper items there. Below are some more ideas. The graduation cupcakes look great and can be used for any age. The ones in the link below were actually for a friend who just received her master’s degree.

It’s hard to believe that it’s already May. Next month will be June (aren’t you glad I told you that) and that means thinking about Father’s Day gifts. For those of you who have a male relative or friend whose birthday is in June, that means you will be thinking about birthday gifts for him. Some of you may be looking for Father’s Day gifts plus birthday gifts at the same time! Time to put on your “Gift Ideas Thinking Cap!”
Do you “stress eat?” I have been the past month, and now my pants are too tight in the waist. I am determined to lose the weight, though, through healthier eating and light exercise. I don’t need any diet pills since I’ve only gained a few pounds. School is nearly out for the summer, my stress level should drop significantly, and it should be easy to stick to an exercise routine and a healthy diet of fresh fruits & veggies!
If you’re moving to a new area, it pays to do your homework! If you’re moving to Tucson, for example, it would be good to check out an attorney tucson has to offer and check out medical facilities, doctors, schools (if you have children), churches, and shopping areas. You would want to know where the post office is located in case you need their services, where automotive shops are located, and the list goes on. A good idea is to brainstorm and make a list of all the places and services you use at your present location before you move. Then you’ll have a great list to work from when you move to your new location.
With this economy, a lot of people look for sales in order to save money, and many use coupons as well. They watch for sales on diapers, food, toiletries, and the necessities of life. Finding the best price on gas is what a lot of guys (my husband and our son included) like to do, and some might look for automotive items, or lawn care items. A lot of women like to find sales on clothing for their family, toys for their children, and household items. Saving money in all these different areas adds up in a year’s time and can really help!

Mother’s Day came and went so fast. I imagine there were all types of gifts given such as jewelry, maybe a Bella Bracelet. Speaking of bracelets, how many of you had or have a charm bracelet? I did when I was growing up. I’m not sure where my bracelet is and need to look for it, now that I think about it. Charm bracelets are fun to wear and are in style. In fact, I don’t think they ever went out of style.
Hope everyone had a wonderful Mother’s Day! I did, and I’m so thankful for my wonderful family and love them so much! Being a mother is one of life’s greatest joys!

Elizabeth at Table for Five is the writer behind the original “Table for Five” which she started in September 2005 while on bed rest during her pregnancy. She shares stories and cute pictures of their three kids as well as many reviews and giveaways. She states on her sidebar that if you have a question then email her. Nearly four years ago, Elizabeth answered several emails to help Charla (who she didn’t know) get started with blogging. She’s good about helping fellow bloggers!
Kristen at Our Crazy Bunch is wife to an “awesome hubby” who is a Marine, and she’s mom to four wonderful children, two girls and two boys. They live in Florida where she shares about their life living on a military base, her faith, crafts, reviews, giveaways she hosts, and other topics such as great deals she finds. Kristen also shares a lot of pictures of their family and activities they are involved in.
The writer of Pawberry Lane is a vegan who loves cats (did you notice the cats on her button?), traveling, knitting, crocheting, contesting and blogging. This blogger is from Canada where “life is pawsitively sweet,” and she does reviews and many giveaways on Pawberry Lane. She even does reviews on pet products which comes as no surprise, and her cats gladly help her with several of her reviews.

With Mother’s Day being this coming Sunday, many people will be ordering online flowers for the special mother in their life, whether it’s their mother, their wife, an aunt or grandmother. Some people are intentionally ordering flowers today or tomorrow, but many who are ordering at this point in time may have forgotten and may be calling at the last minute. Isn’t it great that flowers can be ordered so simply online?
Mother’s Day is almost here! What do you get your mom for this fast approaching day? Some might get flowers, her favorite candy, or maybe something out of the ordinary like Aruba jewelry. Some might give her something to go with a hobby or a new book release of a favorite author. Whatever a mother gets, it’s the love behind the gift that makes it so special.
