Gold Bullion

Gold coins, gold ingot, and gold bullion are all forms of precious metals. One place to purchase these products is with the United States Gold Bureau. With their professional and dedicated staff, who are well educated in a convenient market with competitive prices. Gold has always been a way for man to show his wealth and history is proving once again that investing in gold is one place to put our money. The stock market today is very unstable which makes the choice to buy gold bullion a very wise choice. Visit them today or give them a call to see what they can make happen for you.

Boating

Cole just left a little while ago to go boating with his friends. On a night like tonight it will feel good to get in the water. It has been very humid all day and the water is going to feel great. When I asked Cole why they were going so late I was told that there was no wind so it was a good night to use the wafe board. I sure hope he stays safe and has a really good time with Dylan, Peyton, and Dale. I'm sure some girl watching is also going to be involved in tonights boat ride.

Dog Sitting

For the past eight days my family and I have been dog sitting for my parents, who have been vacationing in Canada. I sure hope they have had a good time and are looking forward to getting home to their precious Sam Henry. Dog sitting Sam is not a bad thing, however, he is one dog who is set in his ways. I can tell he is missing mom and dad. I think our houseful of kids, the noise, and the business of this household is definitely not for this dog. I can tell you right now that I will not miss all the hair that he sheads, especially in this heat and humidity. I think all parties involved are looking forward to things getting back to normal.

Gold

The United States Gold Bureau offers competitive prices in a convenient market when the time is right for you to invest in gold coins. Not only do they offer these great features but they have a professional, dedicated staff who are always waiting to help with all precious metal investments. In todays world the stock market is very unstable. One day things are going great and the markets are up and the next day it's lower then it has been in weeks. Investing in gold coins makes sense to me. For centuries man has known the value of gold and history tends to repeat itself.

Friday Nights

I, like most people I know, look forward to friday nights. Not only does it mean the weekend has finally arrived, but it is also the end of the work week. When friday night finally arrives, I envision in my mind a quiet peaceful night in which I can relax and enjoy the night, however tonight Becca is having a friend over to play and they are so not following the rules. I don not like ball throwing in the house, mouthing off, or making a large mess. I can honestly say that all of these have occurd tonight. So needless to say, I am not and will not get my quiet friday night.

Basketball Camp

Wow, I can't believe that summer is almost coming to a close and that school will be starting soon. However, before we can start football and school it is time for Waldorf's Basketball camp. Cole will start open gym tonight to help him prepare for his first basketball camp as a high school basketball player. I am so excited for him, after all, this is what all the work as a young child has been for, right? The opportunity to play the sports you love at the varsity or JV level, depending on age and ability. I am hoping he will look beyond all the hard work and enjoy playing the game with all his friends and the excitment of the crowd cheering them all on.

Gold Coins

As we watch all the different news stations it is very hard for me to know which type of investing is best for me and my family. We hear everyday about how the stock markets all over the world are so unstable right now. This makes me very nervous as how and where I should invest my hard earned money. It just makes me very sad and upset to see my investments loose so much money lately. However, I have been doing some research into investing in gold coins. For centuries, investing in gold has been a very respectable way to show ones wealth. As history shows, the value very rarely goes down and even if it does it has a tendency to rebound it's value. The United States Gold Bureau is one company with a professional staff who are willing to help those who are wanting to invest in precious metals. They offer convenient markets and competitive prices.

Toddler Talk

Listening to my two year old daughter just puts a smile on my face. Sometimes we can understand her perfectly and in the next moment she is talking so fast that we just cannot understand anything that came out of her mouth. She walks around talking to her babies just like she is a little mother hen, calling them honey and telling them how much she loves them. Sometimes I think how she pronounces certain words should be put in the dictionary as they sound so much cuter her way.

Favorite Reality Television Shows

Guest post brought to you by Taylor Hartley

Reality Television is a bit addicting to me. There are a multitude of kinds of this sort of tv. Everything from dating shows featuring hot messes to shows about cleaning up messes, there's something for everyone. Although, i am a fan of some of the completely depraved, more often than not, scripted "reality dating shows", my favorite type of reality show is the type that is a little more genuine. I love reality shows that feature everyday people, with maybe a surprise thrown in to make their lives better. Examples of this type of show are ABC's "Wife Swap", A&E's Obsessed, and NBC's "Losing It With Jillian".

My favorite reality show has to be "Losing It With Jillian". I eagerly await each week to catch new episodes, on direct tb in Florida. In this show, Trainer, Jillian Michaels, of "Biggest Loser" fame, travels across country surprising unsuspecting families with her presence, and a stay in their homes for a week. During this week, she teaches overweight families how to exercise and eat properly. She not only deals with each family's health, she digs deep to find the underlying cause of their weight gain, and self-sabotage. This is major life change, and often the struggle is immense, and the results are truly rewarding.

In all, reality television is really fun and a great way to pass time if you're bored and there's nothing on. But, my favorite shows are the ones that truly push everyday people to triumph and become better. I always hope that some of the inspiration and insight will rub off on me.
