What's Going On?

Where have I been? and why am I finally blogging at 3 a.m. on a Sunday morning?

Well, that is about all the time I have around here.

So much is going on! Some good. Some not so great....and a lot of just busy.

I'm still working full time at Mom 4 Life. I'm working from my house, which is nice in the fact that I don't have to pay childcare expenses. But the downside is that I have four boys in my office all week - which leads to things like fist fights and baking soda bomb construction in my office - and and occasional snake being thrown on my keyboard.

I'm also sort of blogging on Let's Talk About Boys - which if you haven't take a look at lately, you will have missed most of what has been happening around here with the boys.

After a year online, I've done some re-evaluating and reorganizing of Those With Young. There is now a download available each Sunday with a whole week of journable devotion sheets to use. The verses are still posted daily, so whichever is the best format for a mom, it is there for her to use.

Ian and Riley leave for camp on Monday and are very excited. Ian asked Riley tonight if he could sit by him on the bus, so that he knew what to do. So cute!

Clayton is busy working for anyone he can get jobs for, so he can buy his own net book. He is almost there!

Bill is still currently working three jobs: 1. Full time customer service for Capital One 2. Part time course maintenance for the Coeur d'Alene Resort Golf Course. 3. His own business (which is in the busy season (Coeur d'Alene Golf Club Repair)

Bill has been singing on our church worship team for the past couple of months. He loves it!....and it is really fun to worship with him in that way again. Being on the worship team at Real Life means singing in all five services every other weekend, so it is quite a commitment.

Bill and I are also going to lead a home group in an area apartment complex starting this fall. It has been really fun to watch how God laid this on both of our hearts and the things he has done to bring it all together. We are really having fun watching how God is already working, and what He has up His sleeve!

One of the things I'm really excited about right now, is a new business I've started. Ya, I know, like I have time for anything else. I know.

BUT, there is a reason this works for me. It totally ties in with everything else I do online, so it isn't something hugely stretching for me.

When I was a stay at home mom, everyone had a great business they wanted me to get in on. I never could get excited about any of them because I just wasn't passionate about it, and couldn't see myself spending even the "10 hours a week" necessary on them. I also struggled asking anyone to help me out by spending money they didn't have on something they didn't need.

Well, I've found something better. Something I can give away for free! Yep! You got it! It is called My Shopping Genie. My Shopping Genie is a downloadable tool that helps you save money with all of your purchases. It simply helps you find the absolute best deal on anything you are looking for. It works with Google and other search engines to bring you your searches by the best price.

How do I get paid? Well, Google pays other sites that drive traffic for them, so commission comes by advertisers paying per click for traffic to come to them. The cost is on the companies who pay Google. I've been lucky enough to find a low investment business that gives the average joe an opportunity to have a bite of the Google pie, so to speak.


So! If you are interested in saving money....consider downloading the Genie. It doesn't cost a penny to you EVER!...and it is very safe.....and it will help get the Gifford's out of debt. LOL! If you take a look today, go here so you can really learn how to use it.

If you want a bite out of the Google pie too, ask me how you can get a license to distribute My Shopping Genie yourself. I can help you with that too.
