Car Insurance

I decided to change my car insurance company to a new one. The old one kept adding new fees for this and that, and it really started to make me angry. I found cheap liability insurance and they promised no additional or hidden fees. That made me really happy. I had previously kept the same company for a really long time, but lately every I turned around, I was getting a bill for additional fees etc. That is something you shouldn’t have to deal with when you buy car insurance. I haven’t had any accidents or anything like that to make my payments go up, so it was just infuriating to have them do that.

Now that I found a better company that has better prices as well, I will not have to deal with anything like that again. My car is my baby and I want her insured, but I don’t want it to put me in the poor house doing it either. I needed to do this before I take my annual road trip when we go on vacation. I plan on driving to Florida and going to Disney with the kids, so it was a definite necessity. Add to that the money I will save on it can go towards our vacation.

We are so very excited to be able to go to Disney this year. Usually we go down to the beach, but now that the kids are all old enough to really enjoy Disney, we just have to go. I cannot wait until we get there. I haven’t told the kids where we are going. They think we are going to the beach and we are going to make sure we arrive in the middle of the night, so that the next morning when we get up we can really surprise them. It is going to be so much fun.

Working on the Garden

I have been working in my garden and getting the soil ready for planting. I also bought some stuff for the kids to plant of their own that I know they are going to love. There are these bio dome gardens and such that are designed towards kids. One is a butterfly garden and there is another that is a carnivorous garden with  Venus Fly Trap, Sundew Plant, Hooded Pitcher Plant, Purple Pitcher Plant and others in them. The boys will adore that one. I cannot wait for them to arrive in the mail. I would have bought it at the Tractor Supply near the house but they were out and the Walmart near me didn’t even have them. I am certain they will come in soon though.

Fasteners

I decided that I will fix the deck out back myself. I just went to www.reidsupply.com to order the fasteners that I will need. I started expanding the deck with the help of a friend last summer. He was supposed to finish it, but then had to move out of state for work and was unable to. We had already bought all of the wood, which has been stored in the shed over the winter. The base has already been up and all I need to do is the rest. It shouldn’t take me very long.

Spring is in the air

Spring is in the air and I am loving it. The Dogwoods are blooming and the trees are finally begining to grow a few leaves. It won’t be long before they are full and green. I am so happy that the cold weather is finally gone. I will get out in the yard this weekend and clean up the broken branches and sticks, because it is already looking like I will have to mow the yard soon. I am not looking forward to the seasonal allergies though. I will have to make a trip to the pharmacy to get some allergy meds. Blech…

Dog training

I am not sure how everyone else trains their dogs, but I found some dog training collars reviews for those who are thinking of using them. I like to research everything before I try one or another. The collars worked very well on my larger breed dogs and they took very well to the them and the training. I haven’t had any problems with them ever since then. Read through the information and decide for yourself.
