Random Thoughts about life in general, living in the big city of Toronto
I just won some money. I just won some money. Hey! I just won some money …
Yes I did. I’m doing a happy dance right now.
Being stuck at home because I’m sick sucks, but winning some money certainly helps out. A lot!
Want to see what I won and how I won it? Go check out my post at My World. I’ve even included a fun video that shows how I came to be a winner.
Hey gang, do you want a chance to win a Nintendo Wii from CellForCash.com? Sure you do!
I believe I’ve told you about CellForCash.com in the past.
It’s an online company that makes it easy for you to sell your cell phone for cash. Cool.
Not only can you enter their contest and have a chance at winning their monthly $100 giveaway, win a great prize like the Nintendo Wii and be entered in their annual $1000 grand prize draw, but you can also recycle your cell phone for free and get cash back for it too.
Did you know that millions of old cellphones are simply thrown away each year in the USA? These cellphones end up in landfills. Hazardous toxic metals and chemicals can leach from the old cell phones into the ground waters and cause pollution. It’s terrible really when you think about it. So why not do your part and check to see if you can sell your old cellphone to CellForCash.com? They’ll recycle the cell phone for you once they receive it.
So what are you waiting for? You can win a Wii if you enter this contest. Go sign up!
My husband was watching an episode of The Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos while I worked on my computer and I started listening when George started interviewing the Post Secret blog creator.
Have you visited Post Secrets? It’s a site where people send in post card confessions or secrets. The blogger does a weekly post of about 20 post card confessions.
Some of the posted secrets are funny, some are sad and some are very revealing:
Some express a wish to return to the innocence of our youth:
I suppose visiting this site is voyeurism to some degree, but when I heard about it I had to check it out.
Have you visited Post Secret before? Or have you sent in your own post card?
This is the time of year when many of us start to think about gifts for the holidays. Not only that, since we are indoors more often many of us begin to think of ways to redecorate our homes too.
If you are a parent you might be thinking of ways to change the style of one of your kids rooms. Perhaps you want to redecorate the baby room in a style more appropriate for your young child, or maybe you have a pre-teen and you’d like to give their room a more mature look? Certainly replacing the bedding will give a room a new fresh look.
Whenever I decide to give one of our bedrooms a new look I start with the bedding. I pick out a bedspread, or duvet with a lovely design and then I pick out accessories and even the wall color, if I’m repainting, using colors that I’ve picked from the new bedding. That way everything is beautifully co-ordinated.
One great place to visit when looking for bedding for teens is VisionBedding. They have a wide variety of unique designs from which to chose.
The bedding designs at VisionBedding are unique because it’s photo bedding. That’s right – photo bedding. There are several pre-made designs to chose from like the coral bedding included on the right, or you can personalize bedspreads, duvet covers, throw pillows, pillow shams and blankets with your own favorite photograph.
Wouldn’t you just be the coolest parent if you re-did your teenagers bedroom with some of the fantastic pre-made Teen Bedding designs from VisionBedding that reflected your teens favorite things such as sports, hobbies, animals or something else they really enjoy?
Some of the pre-made teen bedding designs include car, BMX, basketball, butterfly, Asian, artistic, flower, race car, football, surfer, heart, horse, landscape, and teen girls bedding plus many more great styles.
If the pre-made bedding designs aren’t enough to chose from you can always upload a high quality digital photo or photos and have VisionBedding create custom bedding for you. You might choose from a collage of photos or one single photo to create a beautiful design on a bedspread, duvet or sham or pillow cover.
VisionBedding states that they strive to offer designs to fit anyones’ hobby, personality or style. With the ability to create your very own designs that statement has got to be true.
VisionBedding ships throughout the USA and yes even Canada. Since many of their products are custom design they are made one at a time as the orders come in so you can be assured of the quality.
So what are you waiting for? Go visit VisionBedding. Don’t you want to be one of the coolest parents around?
I’ve just spent some time reading a blog that I just came across called Everyday Weekender. The site is written by a fellow Ontarian who’s written this blog as a celebration of the weekend. Who wouldn’t like a site that’s all about enjoying some well deserved R&R on the weekend?
Not only is this site written by a fellow Canadian, but I think we might have some things in common. He writes about spending time in the garden, traveling to one of my favorite Caribbean islands – the Dominican Republic, Southern Ontario attractions and events, barbecuing, cottage life and one of my favorite cottage type activities – canoeing!
Yes, it was a post about his new canoe that caught my eye. I’m sure by now you guys know how much I love canoeing so how can I not like someone who’s just learning how to canoe?
There’s plenty of interesting posts filled with DIY activities that will help you enjoy your weekends such as this post about making your own Keggerator. Yes, that’s turning a fridge into a big beer keg! I must show Chris this post … or maybe I shouldn’t as I’m sure I’ll end up with a Keggerator in my basement if I do!
I Luv this site.
If all of that isn’t enough to get you to go and have a peek at Everyday Weekender there is the matter of the PR 5 linkback promotion he’s having. That’s right. If you write an article about his blog he’ll link back to you and you’ll get a link from a PR 5 blog. Gaining another PR5 link for my site is nice, but that’s really not why I choose to tell you about Everyday Weekender today. I don’t gush about sites just for links. I really do love this site and I’ve added it to my blogroll already.
