Do you ever just wander aimlessly around the mall wondering what you should get someone? I know that I do almost every year, and I feel silly doing it every single year. It seems like such a commercialized thing when you are forced to give someone a gift, just because it happens to be December. My family and I all kind of feel the same way, so we decided to get a big family gift that everyone would enjoy, and then going in to the community and doing something nice for other people. We all put our ideas for our big family gift in a big bowl, and then drew out one. The winning idea was a satellite TV subscription for everyone, which I got through Direct TV Gaithersburg. Then, we volunteered at a homeless shelter passing out food to those in need. We spent the time that we would have spent wandering around the mall truly helping others. It was such a good feeling, that we decided to do something like it every year!

We have our house on the market right now and have had a few offers and once we find the right buyer we are off to rent in either Denver or Calgary as we transition and look for a home. We are excited to rent again because there are several benefits to renting. First you are anchored by a lease which can be broke. When you have a house you are totally anchored until you sell it which is the case for us right now. We also miss renting for the fact that you can get a great space in downtown where there really isn’t residential homes. We will keep you posted in the next few months as we transition to a new city so make sure you are checking back for updates.

As a long time Oilers fan the lure of moving to Edmonton has lead me to search the web for available listings and that’s how I came across the website. I was up visiting some family and we caught a game and between the win that night and grabbing dinner downtown I really fell in love with the city again. My wife and I have booth been talking about what it would take to make the move back up there. She is a nurse so there are plenty of jobs for her up there. I am writer so I would start to put a few resume out as well as touch base with a few of my contacts out there. Making the big move is seeming to be more realistic then first thought. We are excited to get back up to Canada again and move into a home right away as we transition into our new lives in Edmonton.

We are celebrating our first Christmas in the new place this year and it should be a great memory to make in our first home. I remember it was hard to find time to go shopping with all the remodeling and moving that went in to setting up the new house. I did however manage to find the perfect gift for my wife this year which I am really excited about because she always picks out the perfect things for me. Take last year for example, she had gotten me a pair or the cole haan penny loafer pairs that I had wanted.

I knew I needed to get an internet connection at home but I wasn’t really sure where to start. I barely knew how to work my cellphone nonetheless get online and research wireless providers but luckily my son Terrence came over and helped. He told me that WildBlue is way faster than Dialup so that was the direction we headed and he picked out a plan for me that he said would more than cover my needs. That’s why I love him…always trying to save me money! Anyway, he gave me a crash course on email and using the web to do some shopping and though I’m still a little leery of typing my credit card number in online I’m getting more used to it. I know my kids really like that I’m able to email now rather than chasing me around on the phone and I feel better about knowing my way around the web, too. I can’t believe it took me so long to do this but you know, when you’re scared of technology you don’t even want to touch it!

The site also had several useful links and resources on different dental procedures, types of dentists and information on financing options available for expensive procedures. Braces for your children can be really expensive and most likely will not be covered with your dental insurance plan. With the financial help available on the site it is a great first step for those who haven’t been to the dentist in a long time and are looking to get teeth and gums healthier.

Summer is almost over which means its bathing suit time. It might not sound right, but this is the time a lot of the hottest swimwear of the season goes on sale to make room for next seasons orders. It is that time of year where vacation plans are being made and you are gonna need the perfect swimsuit to pack for your trip to warmer destinations and why not save money in the process. You can sometimes find suits marked anywhere from 10 to 50% off the original price which means you are going to find a suit that looks great for a fraction of the cost. Its like our post at the beginning of summer last June where we recommended looking at skis, snowboards, hats and jackets that have been reduced for clearance.

I have always purchased my swimwear after the summer months to get great deals and I am able to get a suit that I normally could not afford and that will not look outdated next season. Websites like Aeropostale have great deals on really cute swimwear for boys and girls alike right now so hop on your computer and look around for the best selections and the best prices available on swimwear today!
