Being a “grandma” with two young grandsons, ages three and twenty-two months, I love to look at baby clothes.  Whenever I’m in the store walking by the baby department, I have to at least glance at baby clothes when I’m walking by them, even if I’m in a hurry.  When they were both little babies, it was so much fun to buy clothes for their birthday!  Baby clothes are just so cute!

Budgeting is a very important aspect of keeping one’s money intact and in preventing overspending.  It prevents the need for personal loans when spending is kept in line with a budget.  Teaching children when they’re young how to take care of their weekly allowance can be a good lesson in planning how to budget and how to make a plan for spending money.

I’m very thankful to have the job that I have.  So many people are still looking for work and are checking out  job postings.  If they’re a nurse then they’re checking out the health care job postings.  If they’re a teacher then they’re checking out the teaching profession job postings.  The sad thing is there are so many people looking for jobs that it’s harder to find a job.  The key is persistence and diligence in looking for a job.  Don’t give up!

We have several pens around the house that have advertising on them as well as several calendars.  Companies are pretty clever to put their ads on things people often use.  We don’t have any custom usb drives with advertising on them, but I know they make them.  Sometimes the products with ads on them can turn out to be pretty good.  One time we had a couple of pens from a hotel that lasted forever.  Those are the type I like to get, quality products!
