Elsy’s Stay at Home Mom Blog

Ted Murphy got 6 Megapixel digital cameras from HP and I want one. So, Ted this is my story and the reason why I deserve one of those wonderful cameras.

I am a 30 year old stay at home Mom for about 7 months now. I worked in a busy hospital in California for “ever” and moved to Texas in February. I am still trying to get used to staying home. I have 3 Children under 3 and a wonderful husband.

A usual day: I wake up in the morning still tired from the day before, I take twice the vitamins a person should hoping it will give me super woman strength but it never does. At 6 a.m. Dan II wakes up, takes his bottle and plays in his crib until he gets tired and wants to get picked up. Genesis is an early bird, she has been awake for 30 minutes now. Mikey starts crying about 7 or 7:30 a.m. and wants something to drink and be carried.

(more…)

As of today all the kid’s gifts are in the bag like they say. Genesis is getting a doll house, kitchen and dishes to go along with that. Mikey is getting a remote control car from Disney’s movie “CARS” and a work bench with all kinds of tools. Dan II gets a toy for his crib and some toys to chew on since his teeth are coming in now. They all get clothes but my husband doesn’t want me to count those toward Christmas.

This is so cool! I love shopping for my kids. Now I need to shop for everyone else.

BRING IT ON!

Genesis is always wanting to turn the knobs on the stove and my husband and I decided we would buy her a toy kitchen for Christmas. I hope that would keep her out of the kitchen. Anyways, remember that site I told you about earlier where you can get free Online Coupons and used them at your favorite stores and buy stuff with these coupons? Well, I found a cool kitchen for Genesis with 97 cents for shipping at Walmart. Cool don’t you think?

A kitchen like this one should keep her busy for hours on end. It has a microwave, refrigerator, stove and it looks real. It is so cute. I love it. I hope I can find something for Mikey that cool.

I think Genesis is going to enjoy her kitchen.

You can also check out the clearance section that Walmart has online and get the free coupon codes for a better deal. I love to shop when I know that I am getting a good deal.

I also need to get the stuff for Mikey’s Birthday Party ready and I need a cool gift for him. I could always get him a work station like this one —->>>>

Anyways, there are so many possibilities!

Check this out the movie “The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift was in theaters and I was reading this Web Release on the net that said that now Progressive Direct the company that sells cheap auto insurance teamed up with Universal Studios to insert a running tally of the destruction into the recent HD DVD release of the movie.

Now when you watch the movie and the car is flying through the air and hits anything for example and lets say that the door goes flying out, then a display in a small window will say how much that would cost to fix. Is this crazy or what? What you would see in the display window would say something like: “Roof repair: $209, taillights: $451, fender: $618″ and so on.

I guess that these new HD DVDs have 6 times as much data capacity as standard DVDs. Some people in the movie making business are hoping that this will give them more revenue by using for advertisement but others think it won’t work.

In my opinion the idea is good, if you are watching this particular movie and you know that your roof needs repair and you see on the move that it could cost $209 but you thought it could cost more, well then maybe it can motivate someone to go out and get the roof fixed.

But who knows, I do know that it sounds cool and the more technology grows, the easier life gets, right?

I found this cool website. My husband loves flashlights. I know what you are thinking, this is something weird to like but he can be weird sometimes. He has so many flashlights you would think it was crazy. He has one on every car, through out the house, in his emergency kit, under the baby’s crib, you name it, he has them.

Anyways going back to what I was saying, I found this cool website made just for my husband with lots and lots of flashlights. The best part is that you can get free UPS shipping with a $29 purchase. I think this cool be a cool gift for him. I would get a grade of A+ with this gift.

My brother who was in the navy started him on this love for flashlights when he brought home a military one for Christmas one year and he loved that flashlight ever since and every good flashlight out there.

I guess it’s a guy thing, I could never see me collecting flashlights. Dan is so crazy about flashlights. Now that we have a house about 3 times as big as we did before he is in need of more flashlights.

We used to have them on the linen closet, in the bathroom, in the garage (about 2-3), in the back porch, in the kitchen, living room and just about anywhere you can think of. My husband says it’s good to have them in case the light ever goes out but in the 10 years I have known him we only used them once.

He recently saw a controlled fire but did not know that at the time. It was dark and he got his flashlight out and say, ” You see, this is why you need a flashlight”.

Anyways but what ever his reasons, I know he likes them and makes him happy to have a good flashlight. Oh, I almost forgot the time when he was controlling traffic after an accident, the flashlight did help the people in the SUV not to get hit by in coming traffic. I guess, he is right. He needed a good quality flashlight that would give out a good beam in order to have the cars coming see him and the SUV behind him.

Yeap, Flashlights for Christmas will get me an A+ this year.

When I am doing my posts, my paid post or my I need to get this out of my chest post; I just love to know that I don’t have to sign into my email to communicate. I hardly use my phone or my email now a days. I talk to my friends in Texas and California via IM. I love this thing.

I love it because I don’t have to stop what I am doing to have a full conversation with a friend or my husband. My husband and I can talk about what he wants for dinner, he can add to my grocery list for the day, or request his pants be dry cleaned and so on without ever picking up the phone or signing in to his email.

I love IM!

I believe this is the new way to communicate on the net

I read something when I was surfing the net this morning about silver coins that was interesting. I usually do my Dads investments and I read that now it’s a good time to buy silver coins for investment. I read that a company by the name of Monex Deposit Company is selling this and you would not believe who is buying these.

Did you know that the World demand for silver now exceeds annual production, and has ever since 1990? This is one of the many reasons why silver is a good investment opportunity.

Many analysts feel that silver, and specifically US silver coins, presents an outstanding investment opportunity.

This is a bit of history: Since the end of WWII the U.S. government - (Used to be the largest silver holder on the planet) - has filtered billions and billions of ounces of silver bars onto the world market, effectively depressing silver prices. Today, the hold of silver that the US government had is gone . . . and now the U.S. government is a silver buyer.

Wow, I found a site that has free online games. This is so cool, I guess this company was one of the first ones to offer classic Nintendo games online to play. My brother will love it when I show him the site. This are the games we used to play growing up. They have some of my favorites like Bejeweled, Free Cell and Solitaire.

She is a very special lady and she needs a special gift. I want to get her princess cut diamond stud earrings. I think she will love them.

I found this website of a company in Manhattan by the name Primestyle. They offer the finest selection of Quality Diamonds & Jewelry at Low Prices. Knowing how special Crystal is, I know she will love diamond earrings. She loves to wear beautiful jewelry. This company has a variety of quality diamond jewelry that I know will fit her look.

In reading some of the information on the site I learned that when you buy diamond jewelry it should be the perfect piece for the person who will be wearing it. It needs to fit the persons look, personality and lifestyle.

A good jewelry store should be asking you questions about yourself or the person who you are buying diamonds for before showing you any piece. This is something that many stores don’t take the time to do.

Anyways, check out Primestyle you may just find that perfect gift for that special person in your life!
