The internet made wedding planning easy!

Guest post by Jewel Cole

When you're planning a wedding, you want to do it right. You don't want to leave anything to chance. There are so many things to consider and it seems like there is so little time to make all the decisions. With satellite internet, all your options are laid out, easy to see and easy to choose from. I used the satellite internet Montana connection to plan my wedding and because of it, I had the best wedding I could ever dream of having.

I used the internet to pick my dress, to reserve the groom's tuxedo, to reserve hotel rooms for guests from out of town, to match the color of my shoes to my tiara, to order wedding favors and have them delivered right to the reception site. I booked the reception hall, which turned out marvelously and arranged the menu online from a set variety of options. Doing all this on the internet made the whole process convenient and speedy. I can't imagine what it would be like to visit all the places I dealt with in person!
My mother helped me. We sat at the computer and used satellite internet to get online. It was so quick and easy that we were finished much quicker than my mother expected. She wished she would have been able to do the same when she got married.

Have You Ever...

... had something really funny happen to you and then you think "that would make a great t-shirt"?
... had a fun event that customized shirts would be perfect for (movie preview party)?
... wanted to have a t-shirt customized with your favorite local sports team on it?
... needed a great custom poster?

Well, I have the answer!

 

Cafepress.com is a great website for your customization needs. After clicking through the site, I was really impressed with they have to offer. For example, I have a group of girlfriends I have known and loved for 20 YEARS. Lately, I have been looking for something that would make a fun gift. Take a look at what I found at Cafepress.com! I can customize tote bags! What a cute idea. I think me and my girls would also look great in a t-shirt customized just for us.

On my own, I designed a shirt. The process is very easy and fun. There are several available fonts and images. You can also upload your own images or art work to have put on the shirt.

The options are endless and Cafepress.com rocks! Take a look friends. Tell them I sent you when you order!

In other news, where do you like to go to get reviews on movies? After clicking around, I've decided I like Rotten Tomatoes. Have you ever been to the Rotten Tomatoes website? Today was my first time in a long time. I decided to read more about the movie Inception. Since my little bro said the movie made his brain poop its pants, I decided I better become more educated before I see it.

I found the website to be very user friendly. It's also fun and informative. Rotten Tomatoes seems to be thorough and offers others reviews along with their own. Head on over and find-out what movies are your next must see!

Grandmother Loves Pictures

Guest post from Marge Nova.

I am a grandmother of eight. I love to see all of my grand children individually and to attend their sports games, concerts, family picnics and nights out on the town with my children. Though I live very close to my family I have found that the hughes net Caldwell TX has made it easier to keep them even closer. When I cannot see my children and grandchildren due to busy schedules I can always connect with them online through email. I have found that it has been easier to connect all of my extended family together by having an account with Flickr because I can show my sister and my daughter the exciting events I went to with my son and his children. When I go out to my daugher's children's dance recitals I get to show my son and my sister the pictures of little Lila doing jumps and turns in her pink tutu on stage at her ballet recital. I have found that having an account with a photo sharing website has enriched my relationships with my extended family because we can all be involved and see what another is doing even when we are not able to be there in person. Having an photo account on Flickr takes the email photo uploading process out of the equation and allows the whole family access.

Enjoy Summer Safely

This post written by my buddy Allen Tamera (guest post)

While enjoying the warm summer sun there are a few safety precautions that you should take into consideration.

During the summer we are often exposed to much more sun so it is important to lather on the sun block of SPF 30 or higher. It can be helpful to use waterproof sun block and course be sure to put it everywhere that gets sun. Since kids often need help remembering sun block it is a good idea to put it on them early and plan to re-apply it later on in the day at a certain time.

Keeping you and your family safe around the water should be on the top of your priorities. Swift currents and deep water can be dangerous to even the strongest of swimmers. Of course children should always be supervised when playing by water. When boating all those on board should wear life vests.

Another priority that should be at the top of your list is your home security when you are away from home. During the summer people often travel much more leaving more vulnerability for being robbed. Getting an ADT Security alarm installed is a way to help you feel more at ease when you are away from home.

Summer is a wonderful time to have a good time but safety should still be on your mind.

Kitchen Cabinets (guest post)

The author of this guest post is Sandra Lee Reed

I have been begging my husband for new kitchen cabinets since we moved into this home. Mine are nice, but not near enough storage space. I also wanted to get them in a darker wood to match the rest of the kitchen. I finally talked him into ordering some for me.

We went to a local hardware store to pick out cabinets. It took me a long time to decide which Sears kitchen cabinets that I wanted to buy for our home. I knew this was a decision that I would have to like because we would not be changing them again. I went home with a few ideas and got measurements. I then went back to finally order them about a week later.

We got our new kitchen cabinets installed another week after I ordered them. I was so excited with the way my kitchen looked after they were finished. It looked so much classier. The dark wood made the room match. I was able to fit all my pots and pans into the cabinets. I finally had a pantry that I had been wanting since we moved into this home. I am so glad that we finally did this! It was worth every penny we spent on it.

Using the Internet With My Children (guest post)

Thank you to guest blogger Laura Levitt.

I have mixed opinions about friendship networks and kids. I do not allow my 12 year-old to add adults as facebook friends because I don't think it is appropriate. I may be a bit on the cautious side with my kids, but I don't even want him becoming a fan of any bands or musical groups, because often times these are not official artist spokespersons. In many cases it can just be an adult posing as the band. I do not allow him to be on myspace either, because it is all centered around music and it gets tricky.

I feel comfortable with monitoring some of his friendship network activity. He has his own laptop now which he got for Christmas and has limited satellite internet time. I cut it off at about the two-hour mark. There is absolutely no internet time allowed if he is grounded. He gets to use the computers at school, so I don't think I'm being too strict. My son's Facebook profile is connected to mine and that way I can see that he only befriends kids his own age and family members. I won't even allow him to be linked to friends of the family, because adults are more likely to forget that they have to have child-appropriate content. I don't want Joshua to be exposed to the private lives of adults just yet.

Shopping for My Son's Clothes (guest post)

 
 This is a guest post by Rita Calton

If it wasn't for hughesnet texas I would be spending thousands of dollars on my son's clothing. Luckily, I am able to find the best deals out there and get him great clothes and a price no one could beat. In fact, I sign up for emails at stores like Children's Place, Old Navy, and Gap so they could email me when their website is having a sale. The best thing about these sites is that the clothes are amazing and shipping is only five dollars.

At the end of every season I get an email from www.childrensplace.com. They mark their clothing down to basically nothing. They have what is known as a monster sale, where you could find clothing for children for a few dollars a piece. The best thing is that this clothing is high quality and very stylish.

I always stock up when it comes to children's clothing. Having a toddler, means you go through a lot of clothing. I no longer worry about how much I am going to have to spend on clothing once he grows out of a certain size. I know that I could rely on the hughesnet internet to get me the deals I deserve when it comes to clothing for my son.

Lookin for comfy?

I'm always looking for comfortable lounge wear and pajamas. How about you? Women's pajamas, that I like, are hard to come by. I like soft and stretchy. I also like silky and smooth. I am more of a
pants/shorts/capris/type versus the nightgown/nightshirt type. Who knew a girl could be so picky? I really do like to buy women's pajamas, it's just tough finding the right fit.

Well, you and me, we are in luck! There is an incredible website I have had the chance to search that is entirely WOMEN'S PAJAMAS! That's it folks! And I found just what I like, and a few that I like but didn't think I would. So Cool!

For example,

How cute are these blue and white polka dot women's pajamas? Capris even! These shout summer!

These are my surprise set. They are beautiful and I really like pique cotton. When I look at this set, it makes me want to buy women's pajamas. A few sets even!










So, just to recap, it's the time of year to invest in a new set of fun, summery womens pajamas. AND you should head right on over to www.womenspajamas.com. I know you will find and buy exactly what you are looking for!

Happy Shopping!

Shopping on Cyber Monday

 

This is a guest post by Torri Swims

A few years ago I started to do most of my shopping online. Having HughesNet internet makes shopping online fast and easy. I can also get the best prices on the items I need the most. I was recently introduced to Cyber Monday. Basically, this day falls after Black Friday and it is the same idea but online. I was so excited to find out this exist. What better way to shop for holiday gifts then online. There are so many benefits of using the internet rather than pushing your way through the stores during the holiday season.


The first Cyber Monday I waited up until midnight. I prepared myself and visited all the websites that knew where to deals would be. I wrote down all the websites I wanted to hit and prepared my credit cards. I was able to get everything from my sons new holiday clothes to my mom’s gifts.


It is amazing what deals I was able to find, and I paid little or nothing to have all my items shipped directly to my door. So, next year when you are holiday shopping, do not waste your time in the stores as you could find much better deals online, and it is a much easier, faster, and safer way to shop.

Insight...

FUNDRAISING insight that is. Welcome back Fast Track Fundraising, and a special welcome to FundraisingInsight.org. These websites are two of the best resources out there in order to have a successful fundraising event.
I know school is almost out, but the truth is, this is the time to prepare for the next school year's fundraising. Here are some great ideas for school fundraisers from FundraiserInsight.org and fasttrackfundraising.com; cut a rug with a fundraising dance, organize your event around a holiday like Cinco de Mayo (plan ahead) or Labor Day. For the summer days ahead, you could plan a BBQ as a school fundraiser!

Until reviewing their site, I was completely unaware of how many fundraising products there were out there! For example, you could sell discount cards. A great one would be for Restaurant.com gift cards. Who wouldn't want that?! Another great idea would be to host a free online fundraiser. Your options are limitless!

Prepare for the 2011 school year with fasttrackfundraising.com's high profit fundraising events. Your organization will thank you!
