As you all know Pajama Mommy does its best to give you the best and great things at the lowest costs possible. Well anyone who has read any of my previous posts know how much I cannot stand businesses who oversell their server space. I recommend several companies however so I know my readers are getting the best quality, service and price for their pennies Pajama Mommy has launched its next set in our giant expansion: HostArcadia! Now please note the support area is a little wonky we’re upgrading to the LiveChat support however we do offer AIM chat in the mean time.

Now you may be wondering other than shouting out to the heavens that you expanded what is in this for me other than a fabulous new thing you’re trying to sell me? Well I’m not actually trying to sell you anything I’m offering you another choice. My personal opinion of a better choice. Since Pajama Mommy is the backer behind the program we are offering our readers and just a select few other sites the chance for a fabulous coupons all year round. We’ll have fancy discounts for every thing we can think off. Granted less money in our pockets, but, I built this site so I can figure out ways to save you money and give you free stuff!

Now this is our “Welcome to the World” coupon. (Oh, and btw I so stole that from Tom and Kate). If you use this coupon “PJM10” you will get $10 off your first invoice. So if your invoice is only $5 dollars you will get the first month free. However it is more effective if you go for quarterly or yearly, to receive the full $10 off. Now for example the Luxury plan which offers 1,000MB of space a month is only $5 a month now. You can pay $15 every quarter, but with this coupon you pay $5 dollars once for the next 4 months and then you’re bill will only be $15. That isn’t bad at all.

Goto the website www.hostarcadia.com today check out the prices I’m sure you will be impressed you can email me personally and ask about the service or email one of the staff members of Host Arcadia. Please note I am 100% devoted to this so you may more often then not get a reply from me personally to show you our effort in great support.

There is a lot to say when you get good products. You know how much I love the all natural small start ups products since when you get in on the beginning before they go huge you not only can make suggestions which will help the product (since everyone wants to perfect their product) in this case for example its true. The owner is such a sweetheart and when I was sent the pomegranate body butter I had an issue where the product was for me a little to slick. So I sent her an email and informed her that my own personal preference  would be for something that wouldn’t be as oily as the product. To which she understood and is looking into a lighter oil based product. I definitely loved that. Since she definitely listened which is remarkable. Her products are great I used them after the shower and the scent mixed so well with my body scrub, and it wasn’t a strong scent but the scent would last for hours.

That was my absolute favorite thing about it. Whats even better is my Grandmother loved it. So when I ran out she bought herself a new tub of it, unfortunately her product was mislabeled so she was sent a different scent which was handled with such graciousness, kindness and with such great communication that exchanging the product was so easy!

So I really experienced it all with this company and I have to say even the mix up was nothing and I absolutely love their company. I will be buying a new tub for myself! You should buy it too. We can have a buying party www.shearadiance.com

have taken up a love for all things knitting. I personally find it relaxing and amazing to see something I worked my little fingers to the bone making is on someone and they are loving it. However, from everything I have heard and read to be a better knitter is the understand the yarn better. What way could someone possibly understand yarn better than spinning it? I personally think that is the best way. So I took my first class. My first yarn isn’t exactly erm…anything I would even let my worst enemy use. So I know I need a lot of help, so when I received this book in the mail it came at the perfect time. I learned a lot of really good techniques and a lot of really good beginning moves. They explain to you how to ply your yarn after which is really awesome since they use plan potters which I had no clue but they make it look so simple! I have to say since my spinning mentor can not possibly hold my hand every second of the day to teach me how to be a better spinner this book has come in really handy.

If you’re looking to spin check around goto your LYS (local yarn shop) and ask if they know of any yarn spinning customers and see if they have any spinning guilds in your area. I rent my current wheel for $10 a month. It really is a good investment and I will be purchasing that same exact wheel since I’d buy the one I am most comfortable with than go crazy and try to learn on some new machine! The only draw back was they didn’t have a drop spindle similar to mine so I couldn’t quite grasp the drop spindle content since I have a bottom spindle not a top.

It is that simple. If you’re thinking of buying a place, whether it is an investment or that big move you want to know what you are going to be paying. If you do not already work a company that is offering you details on your mortgage and you’re doing the beginning searches this is the best place to go to see what you can afford.

This Mortgage Loan Calculator is a no frills calculator, meaning you will not be bombarded with ads galore. When you go to the site they offer all the basic indexes for a 6.5% mortgage. I ran the numbers and I did a 30 year loan which I believe is industry standard. Now I wish the houses around here were only $250,000 since really the pricing isn’t that bad. It is a simple calculator that helps you figure out everything.

They also have a loan calculator which is a really great tool for anyone thinking about taking out a business loan. There is so much you can get from a site who isn’t trying to sell you anything! If you’re a real estate agent like a friend of mine mom is and are creating a website/magazine in your area to boost your business they offer this awesome free widget that allows people to calculate it right on your site. Which means they don’t have to even leave your site. So this truly is a treasure.

Granted you wont make any extra pennies but sometimes its the choice of whats better for your readers or whats better for you? I personally find things that are better for my readers earn me more money in the end! So this is a really versatile site!

I was just at one of my sister-in-law’s house the other day and she set up a chore chart. I find those to be remarkable useful. Heck, I set up one for myself and I’m a grown up :\.

Really these are amazing tools we’ve been using the original idea of them “to do list” but someone finally stepped up and mass produced them for families. I think these are awesome. Currently for my to-do list for myself I use my momAgenda, but what about for the entire family? I don’t want someone man-handling my personal organizer. Well I wanted something that is great and I can just print out in a snap for the next week or even month.

Granted, I am computer savvy but I’m not a designer. I have people who design for me but I don’t always want to pay them to do every little thing so I decided I wanted some for free. As everyone here knows my motto is: “Cheap, Free, and Easy” well what about combining all three for one single site? I only wish they had thought of it sooner!

The website to visit is ChoreCharts. Now when you go in you can download from several different designs and they are currently working on the new part of their site which will allow you to design your own. I can’t wait. I’m so going back and making one! This site also shows you other ways to pay your kids allowance. Through various programs.

Essentially this is an awesome tool, I mean you can customize the chore chart for your family when they are done tweaking that section of the site I am excited to go back. This is an absolutely fabulous find! Some people pay for family planners $16.95 for a set of 50 sheets. How about paying absolutely nothing and you can have as many sheets as you do printer paper. Which would you prefer?

I had the pleasure of getting one of these Baby Belle Carriers and I have to say they were worth every penny. I mean to the point where you know you’re getting quality when you find out some of the hottest celebrities are using these to carry around their bundles of joy.

The carrier comes in a variety of colors which I love the one I received which is the orange blossom which you can see in the top right corner of the picture.

The retail price of this are $99.95 and they truly are worth every penny. The way the baby sits and how they set it up allows for even weight distribution and less stress placed on your back.

When Fil’s brother’s fiance (yes that is a mouthful) found out she was pregnant with her 2nd child. I got together a gift basket for her to make her life a little easier. Of course I waited til the safe marker to give it since I did not want to jinx anything. I included this number and she absolutely loved it. The material is soft and she can’t wait to use it!

I have to say a lot more retailers are picking up on it too. I’m surprised one of the bourgeoisie stores of the Hampton’s haven’t picked it up yet! However, this is the perfect gift for yourself or for a pregnant friend!
