Easy Crock Pot Chili!

First Let me tell you we moms never have time. And our familys expect miracles sometimes. My husband works long hours and he loves chili on a cold winter morning here in Wyoming. But im not the worlds greatest cook so he makes the chili and stews most of the time. When his hours increased I couldnt bear knowing he worked all the time and never got the things he wanted. This is something I got from lack of time remedies.

Easy Crock Pot Chili.

You will need:

1 large can pork and beans

2.5 lbs beef (browned and drained)

1 large can pinto beans(optional)

1 large can Vegetable or Tomatoe juice ( I use vegetable for the flavor)

1 large chopped onion

1 large can diced tomatoes

Seasonings:

chili powder, pepper,salt,onion powder

I mix all these in crock pot and let simmer for an hour (or longer if you want but an hour is great. My husband has no idea its not the real take forever chili he makes and everyone is happy getting there chili once a week or so in the winter.

Getting kids into gardening!

Gardening can be super fun for the children and the adults. Hard work does pay off when you use some little mommy techniques. I did alot of gardening for my mom when I was young and the work was awful.

When I grew up I thought Id never put my kids thru that. Then two years ago I decided I wanted a garden. I wasnt gonna make my kids work in it though. That year I learned alot.

Amaze Them:

There are many things about children and the most thing I can think of is that they never seem to stop being amazed as long as you dont stop trying to amaze them.

I have great boys and one year in our garden we decided to write there names in the pumkins and see how they turned out. Much to my surprise they were great.

We decided to plant pumkins. Along with various other stuff but pumkins seemed to be our great triumph. The boys helped me plant the seeds and then I did the labor of getting them to sprout and loving them. They watched with no patience.

After about 2 months they were ready. I went out one morning and tried my art work then turned them over so it wouldnt be noticed till a later date.

As they grew I was eager to se the results. About 1 month later I discovered the pumpkins were ready. I was pleased with my results.

When they time was right I sent my boys out to harvest the pumkins and much to there surprise it was grown just for them. So from that monent on I have had help in my garden for the pure purpose of anticipation

Heres what you do:

After you have planted pumpkins and they are still green but big enough to write on, find a sharp object like a stick. On a green pumpkin write your child's name on it. When your pumpkins turns orange have your kids harvest the pumpkins and pay close attention to the names on each. The name you put on will now look like the pumpkin grew in your garden just for them...the engraving will look like part of the pumpkin.

Weightloss thoughts

Do you ever wonder what is making it so hard for some of us to lose weight? It is said to be proven that eating several times a day in small portions can really assist weight lose.

What diets do they have for those of us who have no appetite problem and still cant gain weight? This question has boggled my mind for years. I a desperate to lose weight and would like the answers But all anyone ever says is eat less, excercise ect ect. I have had my health checked and there is nothing wrong but yet to no evail even the doctors tell me to eat less. I only consume about 1000 calories a day. And yes Ive went back to one meal a day because eating more makes me fatter.

I want to know then why is it I gain. I count calories, take Acai herbs (rachel Ray Diet) , and if I eat more than once a day I gain ten pounds in a week No Joke! So tell me....waht are the choices we have here.

Weight lose choices Eating multiple times a day:

If a person eats more times a day it is to prevent the body from going into starvation mode. Meaning only eating once a day tells your body that it isnt getting enough to sustain all its needs and therefor everything you do eat the body stores. Thus you have the weight gain.

If a person has no appetite all those appetite surpressant remedies are to no evail to us. And eating several times a day is way way hard. This increased eating acan also lead these people to gain way more weight before they level out there body and lose anything. Gaining weight is by far the hardest part to endure if your on a weight lose mission.

Weight lose pills:

There are several of these out there also. Green tea, Slim Quick,Cleanse formulas, Lypotrim, Slim Fast, the list goes on. Then you have the one I currently use Acai . This like the other promise the same results and yet to no evail.

I ask you what pills have you used and did any truely help you lose your weight? Most of the high dollar pills have a cost that well outweighs the success of the product.

Best Bet Diet:

As far as remedies to MY weight problem there seems to be none. If you know otherswise then please let me know. I think it is true the old fashion way is the best way to get it done right. Hard work and lots a grueling exercise. There seems to be no other real choices left that truely work. And to be the biggest loser you must be the hardest worker.

OK Heres what I have started doing.

I know that this is alot of info but hopefully Ive arranged the titles so that you can find what your looking for. I have started writing for a few more sites today. Dream alive, 451 press , Sasee, and Common ties. I will let you know how my submittions went and If they are hard or easy to get started for. I really like the common ties site because they seem like it is a starting point. As far as my previous post regarding foodiamoms and Type-a-moms Im still waiting for my ad sense account to get approved once I do I will let you all know how to get it going.

A story for life!!

As a mother of young children nothing should of been amazing to me, let alone embarrassing RIGHT? That's what I thought until one day last summer. We had decided to go on a boating expedition, our three boys my husband and myself. The day was beautiful and sunny as it should be mid summer in Nebraska. We had spent all day on that lake and decided to come on home. So we started to troll in to shore. On our way we passed a young girl who worked at the convenience store I worked at part time. She was not a very well raised child, very deceitful and not something to be proud of. If she were my daughter well....she wouldn't be the way she is. She knew I didn't tolerate the things she did nor did I approve. Not that I imagine she really cared. As we passed by her she sneered, after she about fell off her ski-do. I had to laugh at how much neck-breaking staring she was doing. But we just went on our way and didn't give her a second thought. After arriving to shore and loading up the boat and the children we headed home. It was about a half hour drive so we had the music on and we were enjoying a cool drink. The boys laid there heads down and I leaned on the door for the warmth of the sun on my face. When we arrived to the town before our own town we sat up and continued to drive thru town. We drove for about three blocks then it happened. Out of nowhere an officer pulled in behind us with his lights on. Me and my husband looked at each other in shock. It had been years since either one of us had been pulled over. Interested in what the officer would say we puled to the side of the rode. When the officer came to my husband at the drivers window, I was almost anxious to see what was wrong. When the officer told me I couldn't believe it. Someone in a vehicle similar to ours pulling a boat like ours had been reported drinking and driving. I laughed to myself because we had not drank in years (which is probably why we hadn't been pulled over in years..HaHa.). The officer proceeded to ask us to get out of the vehicle so he could search for alcohol (or signs of). We gladly complied with his wishes. As we were getting out my 5 year old proceeded to let the officer on the passenger side know the most shocking thing Id ever heard from him. He said:"Hi, I just want you to know we drank beer. But only one, my mom said we could because we were REALLY thirsty" The officer looked at me in disbelief. I couldn't even mutter a response, I was flabbergasted. Finally, I managed to let the officer know that my son was speaking of a ROOT beer not the real thing. He however didn't seem as amused as I was finally able to be about the whole situation. Anyway the allegations of us drinking were unfounded and when we started driving on our way again me and my husband pretty much have decided the young lady at the lake, deceitful as she is, made a phone call to put a damper on my day. However what she didn't know was she only added to a lifetime list of family stories to tell.

Moms write

I have been doing research this morning on ways to occupy my time and help others and so far I have found a place called Daytipper.com This is a place I can share my thought on things to help others that i do on a daily basis and Maybe earn some extra cash. Its nice and easy.I also found a couple sites for moms to go do some more advice writing along with others things and get paid. These places are called Foodiamoms.com And there sister site is called type-a-mom.net These site you can share your recipes and advice and youll recieve a share of the adsense revenue for your work. You also retain all rights to your work. Check them out its great.

Fill your time.

I have started another blog to help others find a way to make a little money or at least not get scamed check it out. MY BLOG But Im really not sure about this bloggin thing. I just feel like Im giving information to no one....are there people reading it. Its not like this Blog because I feel like Im journalling here...lol. The other Blog I have plenty of information and experience but geez Does it make sence to anyone. Well lets hope so Because I haev to do something that has some kind of meaning. So far the things Ive been doing are pretty time comsuming So I have had to narrow it down to A few smaller things till I find something that pays bigger. Which is okay about the time I get the Blogs done and a little on my email the baby is ready to wake up. Traffic Exchanges They are enough to drive a woman MAD. So Ive been doing alot of FORUMS?CHATS You have to understand I have limited time with the baby and the house to keep together.

The opportunities I have tried.

Oh yes I said tried...that means I'm no longer doing these and Ill tell you why when I'm done. First off lets talk about the things Ive done that are scams. Then we will get to the opportunities I've done that didn't make me money but aren't necessarily scams. Then we will get to what I actively do now for income online.
OK SCAMS!!! Lets get them out of the way. I don't like talking of them really. LOL That's no surprise.
TeamGdiPro now there is no website URL I can give you because they are gone.
The owner Patrick ran off with alot of peoples money including mine. Now since there gone you are safe but the sad news is they were a team that promoted GDI.
And I want you all to know that Global Domains International And some people think that GDI is the Bad Scam ...but that is not the truth. GDI does make lots of people money, including me still. The team I'm referring to TeamGdiPro had a Global rotator and when we invested in this we earned a percentage of our GDI down lines monthly fees for the rotators and well ...that's the money Patrick took from alot of us.
OK now lets look at A.W. Surveys
Yes Its a Scam. They will never pay you and the people you here tell you they've been paid . Well I believe they have to pay once in a great while to keep getting sign ups. So they pay few and far between.

When I first stared I wanted to work at home...not really looking to own a business just type or do data entry no big deal. I paid for a few sites that I personally didn't think sold me what I believed they were selling. When a site says Make money here it shouldn't mean I'm gonna sell you a list of places you can go to and try to make money. And that's what I got at these sites.

Freelancehomewriters.com
not a bad site they do put all the places to get a writers job all in one place but you still have to sign up to these sites and get hired before you can try and make money. I paid $97 and cancelled they did return my money without hassle though.

dataentrymadeeasy.com
Now this site was more disappointing and I'm still waiting for my refund LOL. They want you to place ads and pay for them that's the data entry part then the catch is...your ads got to get orders for you to get paid. They try to fool you by giving you free ebooks. But the truth is this is not what they advertise before you buy.

homejobgroup.com
Now I must admit when I first saw this site after paying 50 dollars I was impressed until someone told me all this stuff I can find for free by search engine research. The time it takes to do this search is definitely cut more than in half with this site. But I still felt cheated when I realized they gave me info to get jobs somewhere instead of a job opportunity.

There is a long list and Im gonna add more of these types of sites as I go and I will cover sites that do work also tommorow.

Busy Life.

WOW! Today, a full day. Went to town after I went to the school for my oldest sons IEP (individual Educational Program) My oldest has Bipolar, he is 12 yrs old, and he can be a handful at school. So I went in to set up a plan to help control his enviroment. We basically seclude him within the class room so that he can concentrate (per his request) However the schools don't always like to work with us, so I get it in writing and its like magic. LOL Pretty bad we have to have that stuff in writing in our education system but it is what it is. Any way when I was finished with that I decided to go to town for groceries I live about 40 miles from the nearest walmart so a road trip is what it became. My infant usually falls asleep on the way so I can relax RIGHT?? No not today...the deer and antelope were literally lining the highway. Like they usually do this time of year. And I was a little on edge which caused the baby to take no naps. The store wasn't much better and 138.00 dollars later I was done with today's shopping at walmart. But then i just couldn't pass up the thrift store because my hubby just bought a semi-truck and he needed sheets and I save money anywhere I can. Plus the kids needed new ones also. See we moved here in August of 2008 and half our stuff is still in Nebraska and well of course in that half was my sheets and other various important things I don't like living without. But its an 8 hour drive there and I cant afford to take the time to go right now with my husbands new truck and all so I have to improvise. When I finally do get back home its haul in the groceries, let out the dogs, change a diaper, answer the phone (my husband needs phone number I get for him),lay baby down for the nap he didn't take on the way to town and then put away groceries. We would hope that was the end of the day but no no no of course not. Now its time for the youngest to come home and he has a blue sheet which means he hasnt listened in school today and has 6 sheets of homework because he talks instead of getting his work done. There goes my night. He is a great 6 year old, loving and playful but I just cant seem to get him to understand that theres a time and a place. We have been fighting his crud in school for the past two years I hope it stops soon. So Now that I know what my night entails I suppose I better get started with it since it will be long..and my oldest son and my husband aren't even home yet...YUGH!!!

So how do you find Something your interested in doing from home?

Ok well let me tell you its not very easy. But its not impossible especially if you have a little guidance. So first let me tell you you need to find out inside you what you want to do. What do you enjoy? Do you want to answer questions for people, research for others, write articles or books? Or are you looking for the actual business to run. You see on the internet I can point you in a either direction. Work at home or run your own internet business. What are you good at? what do you want in life? Do you want to make a paycheck or a salary?
Whatever it is you need to narrow it down and then begin your search in the internet world.
