Love i oldies music! Reminds me of my Granny.

Not a day goes by that I don't think of my Grandmother.  She was my superwoman.  Not only did the woman have 12 kids, but she also was the sweetest person I had ever known.  Her smile, always made me smile too.

We always would listen to oldies, and watch old TV shows together.  My love for all types of genres when it comes to music, is because of my Grandma, and Mom always listening to music in the house.  That, and my Grandma even had music artist posters up of her favorites.

I was never bored listening to i oldies music.  The lyrics, and catchy melodies.  I experienced at a young age that I liked different songs depending on different moods.  That transferred into adult hood too.  To this day I can't walk past a juke box without checking to see what's inside.

When a person says, "Oh I only listen to so-and-so." I just want to roll my eyes, because I honestly believe that without these oldie artists, our concept of music today would not be the same.  I consider them our roots.  With todays technology it is so easy to download, and listen to our favorite oldies on virtual jukeboxes.

I love oldies, blue grass, country, rock, rockabilly, punk, metal, blues, hip hop, funk and rap.  I'd like to thank my Grand mom for that, and all the Road trips between Crownsville Maryland, over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, and to Grasonville, Maryland.  That took hours, but with good music, and company, it went way too fast.

Gifts for my Older Sisters.

Little about myself, I have 4 Sisters, 2 younger, and 2 older.  I also have a younger brother, whom is the baby out of all of us.

Coming from a big family it's easy to know what everyone likes.  It's also easy to see what we also dislike about ourselves too.  We were always close.  Being close makes it easy to find presents for each other.

Growing up outside, as a Tom Boy, bordering the marsh land on the Eastern Shore near the Bay was pretty harsh on some of my sisters skin.  Lot's of freckles, and sun burn over the years along with pregnancies, and weight gain.  I think the best present for people like my sisters are skin care related.

Life really is too short to not baby ourselves, and make sure our skin cells are as new, and healthy as they honestly could be.  I like to give gift sets after their Cool sculpting Fort Lauderdale sessions, something in Advanced Skin Care products for the skin so their skin tightens up, and looks more youthful again.  My sisters always love the gifts, because I make them personal, and something I know they can use, and not just sit on their shelves.  They are just like me, and don't like the overly fake oils that some skin sets him in them that claim they help tighten when really they don't.

In my opinion some of the best gifts to give are gifts that are full of vitamins, and ways to better ones health.   Anything that is a better alternative than what some people think is great for their skin, when it's just Water based fake scents, and no hydration or skin regeneration properties.

People there is more out there!! I am glad that my Sisters embrace the gifts I give them.

The Sparkle Box Book #Giveaway

Make money writing!

The concept behind making money online by writing is ideal for us that like to be creative.  That also stays home, and would rather express themselves online while getting paid to do so.  If you love to write, you can actually make money writing.

Websites like American Writers, and Artists Inc. make it easy to find topics to write about.  Even if you are writing a book, or you free lance for other sites you can still make money anywhere.  Also consider it free training, and experience you are actually paid for.

I'm not kidding, it really isn't hard to find ways to make money online without stupid pyramid like referral scams.  For me, the best way is to find sites that are loyal to their writers, pay reasonable, but also you as a writer have to be prepared to work, while building a great relationship and network.

There are days that I like to get online, and express my opinion on products, and services that separates me from being just a Mom.  I embrace that escape.  I also feel better about myself that I am constantly using my brain outside of Toddler Land.

I love that old saying,  "Only boring minds get bored."

I am never bored, I surround myself with projects like these.  Getting paid for them makes everything I do worth it.

Right now I am laying in bed, typing this up on my cellphone.. milk to the right of me, and a cherry filled brownie to the left.  Life is good.  My 2 year old is being good too.  Now that's a rarity.


The flexibility of writing where-ever I want, whenever I want.  About anything I want, makes me realize how great these opportunities are.  It's not hard to do.  If you can write a letter, you can write for a company while being paid.  Honestly just go with the flow, and see where it takes you.

Some of us used to always write while growing up. Short stories, poems, and songs.  Then comes the excuse that we stopped because of work, and our families.  I refuse to allow having children to stop me from expressing myself.  Writing is healthy, it's good to get thoughts out.

Project Management Cloud Based Software, are you connected?

Find out how Tenrox can help you gain real-time visibility into project status, resources, costs & billing to optimize the productivity of dispersed project teams at www.tenrox.com.

What does it mean to connect to the Cloud?

Connecting to one another has come a long way.  It used to be screaming from the hollars, writing letters, telegrams,  pigeon carriers.. Then came Dial up,  Cable, Satellite, DSL,  3G, 4G, so many satellites, so many towers that having to physically connected to a wire to be networked to one another became a thing of the past.

Remember Serial Ports, and parallel ports? I'm really showing my age now. I'm a 32 year old female that grew up online.

My first computer was a Tandy 2000 from Radio Shack, all I really did on it was Play Commander Keen, and print school work and banners.  Back then you knew your DOS or you didn't get to run anything off your Floppy drives.  Then, in the 1990's I received an IBM with my first windows based software.  The upgrade from the Tandy and Dos, to Windows 3.1 made this girl happy.  I still think if you're a windows user, you should know how to execute any program while in MS-DOS.  After that things blurred together for me, electronics and software started to advance so fast it was hard keeping up with upgrades.  I didn't want dolls, or clothes for my birthday.. I wanted a new computer.  I then received a windows 95 Packard Bell.  After that,  and being on dial-up to high speed internet made such a huge difference.  I cannot express how far hardware and software has evolved. (Remember back orifice, if you do High-five!)

The technological advances since the 1950's for computer networking has came such a long way to what we enjoy every single day too.  The majority of us know no life without being connected. The right now, and the future is being connected to the Cloud.  To be able to be connected completely to your network without the need of a physical server.  It sounds almost too good to be true, but it's not too good.  It is  the now.

It used to be Hard Wired,  Wi-fi, Blue Tooth, and now the Cloud.  For example my printer is on the Cloud, I can print anywhere by just connecting to Cloud Print via Email.  The laptop I am currently typing this up on has Cloud Storage. I can't see life without being on the Cloud.  With Tenox you'll be able to take all your companies computers, handhelds, and cell's that has the app networked together on the Cloud.

But, what if your company has outgrown it's current network? Congratulations! 

It happens all the time, and you shouldn't be afraid of upgrading. Cloud-based Project Management Software from Tenrox makes it easy for online resource management, resource scheduling, project planning, time & expense tracking, project billing & cost reporting.

Now if your company is still using Pen & Paper, you should watch the free Cloud Webinar.

Tenrox is the only workflow-driven cloud solution designed to meet the challenges of managing globally dispersed services organizations and project work forces.

Tenrox 2013 R2 is now available directly from Upland Software or through the company’s Tenrox Referral Partners. Upland drives business results for more than 1,200 enterprise clients with 300,000 active users in 50 plus countries.

Disclaimer: This was a sponsored post, but all opinions on being networked together, upgraded, my tandy 2000 computer nerdism is all on my own.  I truly believe software that makes being connected to the Cloud does, and will make life easier for all business, big, and small.

This is such a unique snack!Not really a cookie,not really a cake and not really a candy.Maybe like a wafer?It's crispy and crunchy and almost melts in your mouth!

The mint Chocolate Chip had a good brownie,chocolate flavor mix.Not overwhelming at all.The salted Caramel was wonderful!It had almost a buttery flavor.
