Have you ever heard of or seen mbt shoes? I have seen versions of the shoes. MBT stands for Masai Barefoot Technology, the shoes are suppose to make you feel like you are barefooted or like you are walking on sand. They say that this is healthier for the foot and that it allows for the foot to walk in a more natural way. I really curious to know those of you who have tried these to leave your comments on your experience with these types of shoes, I know of a few companies that offer these types of shoes, but I myself have never tried on a pair.

Did you see the new wii system that is black now? It’s been out on the market for months now. Its looks really nice, but the kids already have a wii so I don’t see myself buying a black one. Before the black wii system came out they did start out with wii accessories that where black, so I guess Nintendo was warming us up for it. But it’s just like anything you buy; they always seem to come out with a better version once you buy it.

Did you know that you can actually purchase business credit reports for as little as $10 online? It seems like there is nothing you can’t find out online now. There is good and bad about this, I mean the good thing is that you can do practically everything online and you don’t have to leave your home. But the down fall to this is that you have literally no privacy now. Everything can be available for a price, if you pay it you can find it out.

What is the best way to tell someone you love them or to share in that special occasion? Send them flowers. I don’t know anyone who does not like to flowers; it’s one of the easiest gifts to give. What is even better is that you can send flowers online with PF. I was on this flower companies website that offers an excellent array of beautifully arranged flowers. But that is not all they sell, you can also buy cupcakes, cookie arrangements, teddy bear arrangements and more. So if you don’t have to worry about finding a gift for someone who has it all, just send them flowers.

This month just flew by and my kids go back to school in just a few days. I guess the saying is true time flies when your having fun. I just can't believe its August 20th? I have been so busy with my web projects lately that there is just not enough hours to do it all. I am still working on redoing one of my websites, still in the designing part of it, since I have been too busy with clients. My hubby had a birthday today and we spent the day together as a family. Now I have to get ready for the kids to go back to school and hopefully this will give me the time I need to complete my website.

I was visiting a website by Carolina Designs
Reality; they offer all kinds of vacations rentals. One of sections that caught
my eyes were the Outer Banks rentals.
If you are not familiar with the Outer Banks its beautiful coastal section of my
state of North Carolina. I have personally never been there, but I have seen
plenty of pictures and it is breath taking.

While I was surfing their site I saw a beautiful
home that would I would love to take my family too. The house is called the
Seahawk and it is 3 stories tall and has a ton of features. As soon as I saw the
house I knew this was a place I wanted to take my family. Its been many years
since my family and I have been on a family vacation. I feel after all that we
have been through this past few years we all deserve a vacation together as
family.

Back in Aug of 08 my uncle was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, at that time my
parents, grandma and aunt were planning to move down here with me a few months
later in the spring of 09. They all came but my aunt, she stood behind so she
could take care of him. That's him in the picture on the right. We had many ups
and downs with him to eventually we were told that the cancer had spread and
there was nothing more they could do for him. In Nov of 09 my mom and dad went
back to New York to be with him, because they said he didn't have much time. I
was unable to be there because 3 out of 4 kids were in school and I didn't want
them to remember him in the state that he was in. In Dec of 09 he finally lost
his battle. I was not even able to attend his funeral which really made me hurt
for a long time. We all lost a great uncle, brother, father and friend. I still
think about him and wish I could of said my good byes. This past July he would
of been 58 years young. So with all this loss in our hearts we do need to laugh
again. I know that is something he would of wanted.

My husband and I managed to sneak away for an over night trip without the kids
to Wilmington, NC. Its been 13 years since my husband and I have been able to
venture out for an over night trip. And it was really nice to catch up on our
time. But I would love to be able to go away with not only my husband and I, but
my 4 kids, my parents, grandma who is 87 and my aunt.  Just to be able to
get away for a week and forget about everything would be wonderful and not to
mention be able to share that experience with the ones you love would be even
more special. I can't even remember how long its been since my parents who are
68 and 64 years old have been on a true vacation.  I think that is
something all families should try to do is go away and forget about everything.
I know for a fact that, that is easier said then done, but wouldn't it be
wonderful of we could all take some time to go away?
