Especially at this time of the year we are looking for the best deals online to help our money stretch. Check on the deals listed on this page.

I have found one of the best places to purchase Wii products is on Amazon. They have great prices and if you spend over $25.00 shipping is free. Think of what you will save on larger ticket items just on tax!

To begin your Wii experience you will need the Wii Console. In case you hadn’t noticed the price on this system has recently dropped by $50.00 in most stores. This console does not take up a lot of room and is easy to operate. It can be stood up or laid down which makes finding a location for it quite easy.

Check out Amazon as they offer a lot of “bundle” deals including the Console and various groups of games.

Being a grandma, I have had first hand experience with Wii!! I have come to realize that Wii is more than a game system for the younger set. In addition to all of the games, there are programs to help us older folks get fit, and lots of other programs that we would enjoy. I really have fun times with my grandchildren playing anything from what we call Cow Racing (actually it is Charge on the Wii Play), to Shawn White Snowboarding (yes I even get up on the grind rails!) and Crosswords.

The Wii Play includes such great activities as Billiards, Table Tennis, a shooting range, a point-and-fire game of target practice in the Duck Hunt tradition, Pose Mii, Table Tennis, Fishing, Charge! and Laser Hockey, Tanks and Find Mii, in which you scan the crowds to find the right Mii – Miis you and your friends created make an appearance. Just this one game provides hours of fun and entertainment. As a special bonus this video comes with a remote control.

The Wii Fit Plus is the newest fitness video for Wii. You can input the amount of time you want to devote to your fitness program and/or what areas of your body you want to target, and Wii will suggest a diverse routine for you. You will be having so much fun with the various programs you will not even think of it as a workout! There is jogging, yoga and zooming across a beach on a Segway just to mention a few. If you do not already own a balance board you will need one of these to use the Wii Fit Plus. Amazon offers a bundle deal with the Wii Fit Plus Video and the Balance Board. Please click on any of the Amazon product links above to shop the various items on Amazon and find the current price deals.

I hope that you have as much fun with the Wii System as I do. I am personally looking forward to buying the Wii Fit Plus and Balance Board. This will definitely help me in my fitness program.

You are never too old to have fun!

Do you ever feel like you sit down at the computer to check your email and do some internet marketing around 8:30 AM and before you know it you look at the clock and it is 4:30 PM?  Cyber space seems to consume a lot of our lives.

Being a grandmother involved with internet marketing, I strive to be a good steward of my time.  I enjoy spending time with my grandchildren.  This means working smarter with my online business opportunity!!

Global Virtual Opportunities (GVO) is a Web Host that helps you save money and live better.  You can find all of the services listed below under one “roof”:

  • Lead Capture and Prospecting System
  • Unlimited Auto Responder  System
  • Full Audio and Video Conference Set Up
  • Web Site Monitoring Software
  • Complete Video Producing System
  • Unlimited Domain Reseller Hosting
  • The best Coaching in the Online Industry

GVO includes all these incredible tools, and systems that will help explode your online business. Can you just visualize not only the money you will be able to save having these services all part of your Titantium Hosting Account, but think of the time you will save by having these tools ready at your fingertips to  use!  GVO has professionally created prospecting pages/capture pages, banners and other items that save  you a lot of time.

GVO provides great trainings which I find exceptionally helpful.  It is one thing to have awesome tools at our disposal, but not all of us are technically adept and a little guidance goes a long way in helping me get all my tools up and running. I truly appreciate the assistance the leaders of GVO give us and their passion to help people succeed in their business, whatever it may be.

I have gone the route of spending 12+ hours a day trying to get things done with previous online internet marketing opportunity I was in, and all I can say is~ “This would have really made my life easier”, given me the tools to be successful and definitely would have allowed me to spend more fun time with my grandchildren.

I not only enjoy learning about online internet marketing (we are never too old to learn new things), but I also have a passion to write children’s books and work at my online jewelry business.  I need to work smarter, not harder!  There are only 24 hours in a day and I intend to use them all to my greatest advantage.  GVO allows me to do just that.

So I am here to say, “Thank you GVO for making a more productive, with less time spent, difference in my life.”

Hope you will check out GVO.  GVO offers a two week trial period for $1.00 because they realize  people really need to experience the Titanium Hosting Package, they can’t just look at it!!

I wish you great success more quality time doing what gives you pleasure.

Blessings,

Judy Conway

There is so much in the news nowadays about the economic bailout situation in our country.  How can our young people not hear about it and wonder how it affects them?  I am sure there are many parents wondering exactly how much information they need to share with their children, especially concerning their personal financial situation.  I hope that what I have to say will shed some light on that issue and also help with the guilt that I know parents are feeling at not being able to give their kids all the want.

 

I remember a time in my life that I was suffering from hard personal economic problems.  My girls were 11 and 12 years old.  I was recently divorced and a struggling single mom.  Financially, we did not have much.  It was in 1981 and granted things were a little less expensive.  We lived in southern Florida.  I became a pro at feeding my girls on $10.00 a week.  Although we did not have money in our pockets we had a lot of love in our hearts.  We were blessed to have found an awesome church family at the First Christian Church of Boca Raton.  The first time I walked into that church my thought was, “These people really love one another.”  They reached out to me and my girls and truly showed us the love of Christ.  I am forever grateful to this family of friends.

 

When Christmas came I just didn’t have any money for gifts.  The girls needed new nightgowns so those were more of a necessity than a gift.  I felt so very sad.  My children had been through a lot.  Divorce is not easy on the spouses, but it is very difficult on the children as well.  Christmas Eve I wrapped the nightgowns and put them under the tree.  I sat down with a very heavy heart and cried.  Why is it when we can’t “buy” things for our children we feel like failures?

 

As I sat there that night I wrote my girls notes that ended up being my true Christmas gifts to them.  Sometimes, as parents, we try to hide our feelings from our children.  Don’t under estimate their ability to understand.  I found that with being “real” with my girls we were very close and shared each other’s burdens.  My notes simply, but sincerely, told them how much I truly loved them and was there for them.  I expressed my sadness for not being able to buy them lots of gifts…but I did give them the greatest gift I had to offer….My Love!!

 

The nightgowns were a hit but let me tell you the notes ended up being very special gifts.  I was never afraid to say, “I’m sorry”, “I made a mistake”, or most importantly, “I love you” to my girls.  There were times when the stress of a day caused me to lose my temper and composure and I would find myself sitting on the bottom of their beds tearfully apologizing.  I used to say, “When you came into this world, God did not have instructions tied on your toes!”  I was the first to admit, I was not perfect, and I made mistakes.

 

I hope that you will find in this financially difficult time of the year that you can be honest with your children.  Simple joy will benefit us all more than beginning 2009 in debt and facing a personal economic bailout.  They can handle a lot more than you think and in the long run you will draw closer together and be able to share the best gift you can give each other….the love in your heart.

 

I truly wish you hearts filled with love, an awesome Christmas and a 2009 that will be filled with lots of “Aha” joyful moments.

 

Blessings,

Save money on what you are already doing!

At this time of the year I always remember something I wrote many years ago.  Its content applies today and is just as important.

 

I would like to share this with you.  The title is, “The Greatest Gift”.

 

 

As the last faint sounds of Christmas carols fade off in the distance, and the water begins to chill around your ankles as you soak your aching feet …. What will you really recall about Christmas?  What was the greatest gift?

 

I honestly believe that if a poll was taken as to the true meaning of Christmas, “receiving/buying gifts” and “Santa Claus” would rank as the most often answered.

Will a smile of love and appreciation cross our faces in the midst of scurrying around to find a bigger and better present for sister Sally than what brother Joe will give her; hunting down the fullest and tallest tree, and decorating our dwellings.  Will we remember the real purpose of this Holiday Season, the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ?  Will we stop to ponder about that baby in the manger and how His life and death has brought meaning to our lives?  His life was an example of the way we are to live.  He loved us so very much that He was obedient to the end, even unto death on a cross.

We seem to get so caught up in the materialistic outlook of life we lose touch with the most important gift we have to give, not only at Christmas, but every day of our lives.  That gift is the gift of love.  Not love as the world knows it, but as Jesus Christ lived it.  Instead of, or in addition to, decorating the outside of our dwellings, we should decorate the inside of our “temples”.  We should take Christmas out of our pocketbooks and put it back in our hearts!

Have a blessed Holiday and remember that Jesus is the reason for the season!

 

I enjoy being able to shop when I want to and even do it in my PJ’s in the comfort of my home!  This helps reduce the threat of impulse buying.

 

A true gift this Christmas is Acquire Benefits Group.  It is taking the internet by storm.  They have amazing benefits and over 1800 Online stores where you can shop and get up to 20% cash back on your purchases, or print out coupons for your local retail establishments. This company helps save money on what we are already doing and make money helping others save.  This membership would be a welcomed gift for those less fortunate wanting to save money.  During our current economic condition this is something we all need.

 

So as you are out there amidst the crowds of people trying to find the bargains, and nicest gifts remember what Christmas is really all about.  A simple hug or warm touch can be a greater gift than what money could ever buy.
