Easily Reachable

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

I only buy my girls pajamas at my favorite website which has everything that every mommy needs regarding their kiddie sleeping clothes. The owner is an acquaintance of mine and has been in business since 2007 when she and her husband saw the need to distribute the cute apparel in places, cities or towns where there were no posh kiddie boutique stores to buy it from.

I especially love their footie pajamas for my 4 month old baby Richard. I must have ordered a dozen of those in different designs - pj’s that he could use until he was 9 months old. It is so adorable!

They also have a wide array of girls and boys pajamas up until they read 14 years old. If only we had been exposed in this type of sleeping apparel during our days, it would have been a dreamy sleeping time for me.

Aside from kiddies, they also offer adult pajamas. Right now, they are on discount. I did order 2 for myself. They are very comfy. $17, can you believe it? Other than that, I purchased their nightie - on sale as well. Thanks to you our whole family can now get to wear lovely pieces when we sleep.

The Safety Supplies Are Missing

Monday, April 26th, 2010

The safety supplies that I bought for the office last month have somehow gone missing. I guess that someone thought that they needed them more than the entire office. It was not a big storage room full of safety supplies, like the janitorial supplies closet but it was still about two hundred dollars worth of stuff.

I guess that several years ago, they had a problem here with someone stealing the janitorial supplies so they put a video camera in the closet and caught them. That is exactly what I am going to do now, I am reordering every bit of the safety supplies like I had before and if someone wants to attempt to take them again, I will be able to catch them in the act.

The Office Supplies Store Sent Out Notices

Monday, April 26th, 2010

The office supply store, that used to deliver to my office, just sent out notices that they are discontinuing their delivery service. Apparently, the economy has hit them very hard and they just cannot afford to keep someone on staff for just deliveries. I know quite a few other businesses that get their office supplies delivered from them also that will have to find someone new.

I am wondering if the office supply store has really thought this through, because just one of their competitors will have to start delivering and they will take probably all of their clients too. I know that the convenience of having the office supplies delivered is something that I do not want to go without, even for a short time.

Our Office Supplies Were Stolen

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

The office supplies that we store in the closet were missing last week when we came in on Monday. I know for sure that they were all there on Friday evening, because I remember grabbing a new pad of paper from it shortly before leaving for the weekend. We have a cleaning lady that comes in over the weekend but she has worked for us for over five years and I could never see her stealing from us. I had to call and order all new office supplies from the discount office supplies store that is located down the street. I could not order form the discount office supplies provider that we usually use because they usually take about two days to ship to me and we needed everything right now, to get back to work.

The insurance agency that we use came out to look at what had been stolen and were shocked to see that the people or person who took all the office supplies, left all the computer equipment in the office alone and left with just the contents of the closet. It does sound strange, but maybe they thought that carrying out big computers would draw more attention to themselves then just having some paper and pencils in their hands.

Still Wearing The Toddler Footed Pajamas With No Feet

Monday, December 28th, 2009

For six years, all my son would wear was the toddler pajamas that I had gotten him so long ago. Since they were footed pajamas, when he got to a certain height, I had to cut the feet out of them and he kept wearing them. I decided that this could not go on forever and went out shopping for some new toddler pajamas that had some of his favorite cartoon characters on them. I really thought that it would do the trick but I was wrong.

I then decided that maybe I should just find a company that made footed pajamas for eight year olds. I was able to find one online and I ordered just one pair of footed pajamas to just test out on him. They arrived on a Monday morning and that night, I pulled them out for my son to wear. He was very excited to see that they still had the feet in them and he fit them very well.

I knew that I had made my son happy and I was thrilled to not see him running around in toddler pajamas with the feet cut out because he was so tall. I am ordering four more pairs of footed pajamas this evening and then throwing out all the old small ones that we have.

Switching To Discount Office Supplies Now

Monday, December 28th, 2009

My only regret when firing the old office supply provider we used to have, was not telling the owner what an idiot he was for thinking that people were actually stupid enough to pay the prices he had just raised his products to.

I was made aware of the price increase when my secretary brought me a copy of it that had been faxed over. I compared it to the price list that we had from their old prices and it was a thirty percent hike in prices. I wonder how he thinks that anyone running a business in this economy can pay a thirty percent increase for anything.

I immediately called and cancelled our standing monthly order. I guess that they had never heard of discount office supplies, the new company that I am going to switch to. I had been looking at them a few months ago and wondering if by switching, we would get the same kind of service or not. I do not even care about the service now; I am going with discount office supplies. Maybe sometime in the future, the old office supply provider will figure out that you cannot just raise prices like that, maybe when his company goes under.

I Love My New Hogan Shoes and Prada Handbags

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

When I decided to take off and go shopping for the day by myself, I never expected to come home with Hogan shoes and a couple of Prada handbags. I had never shopped at any of the high end stores before but after walking by and seeing the shoes and the handbags in the window, I could not resist going in.

You would have thought that I had entered a magical land by the way the salesladies treated me. They made me a drink and made me feel like I was their most important client. When I tried on the Hogan shoes, I did not want to take them off, they were so comfortable and they looked amazing on me. When one of the sales ladies told me that they were having a clearance sale on the Prada handbags that were left from last season, I knew that I would be buying at least two, and I did.

I tried to pick handbags that would be able to be worn with many different outfits. That way I could get more use out of them. I think that I did a pretty good job with that, because the two Prada handbags that I purchased are both very neutral colors.

I do not know if I can continue to shop like this all the time, but just splurging on myself every once in a while cannot hurt anything.

Wholesaler Allows Public To Buy Janitorial And Cleaning Supplies

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

I had heard about a cleaning products company that sold their items at wholesale prices. I contacted them about two years ago and they informed me that they only dealt with commercial businesses. I run a daycare and they told me that it did not fall under the commercial heading. Now, I just found out that they have opened up their business to the public and I knew that they had great prices on all of the janitorial supplies that I need for the daycare.

The two cleaning products that they have that I go through really fast is hand sanitizer and bleach cleaning spray. I go through a large container of hand sanitizer about every week. It seems that even with parents bringing me smaller containers of it, we use it so much, that I have a hard time keeping it in stock.

If I can get these janitorial supplies from this company for the wholesale prices that they had two years ago then I can afford to buy more of the items that we need to keep the toys, the walls, and the kid’s germ free. Since the whole H1N1 breakout, it seems like I am being even more conscience of making sure that we clean everything and everybody several times a day.

Best Friend Gets Cheap Funny T Shirts for Graduation

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

I knew I had to get my best friend a great gift for his graduation, but I did not have a lot of money. I thought that giving him a gift certificate from our local coffee house would be a great idea, and then found out that two of our friends had already bought those for her. I wanted to be original, so I thought I would get her a couple of original funny t shirts. I was not sure of where to look, but knew I had seen a few funny t shirts websites before while surfing the web. I searched for cheap t shirts, since I could not afford too much and found so many sites that it was hard to pick just one. I saw some of the funniest t shirts on this one site that also made their t shirts affordable. I could not believe my luck, funny and cheap t shirts on one site. I was so excited that I was able to afford three funny t shirts for my best friend’s graduation gift. I loved seeing her face as she opened my gift and read each one at the party. Everyone kept asking me where I had found these awesome funny t shirts. I think I wrote down the address about twenty times.

I Jumped on the Business Opportunity to Sell a Picture Puzzle Online

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

I was looking for a good business opportunity that would not require me to do a lot of work, and a product that I could easily sell on the internet. I discovered this company that takes a picture that you give them and then makes it into a picture puzzle. You can advertise it from your own unique website and then they just drop ship the picture puzzle to your customer.

I figured that this business opportunity was too good to be true, since most of them are these days. I did not want to get taken again, like I had in the past. I researched this company for a very long time and made sure that they did quality work and that they would do exactly what they said that they would do. I even sent them one of my pictures and had them turn it into a picture puzzle. I was shocked at how cool it was and how the quality of the picture puzzle was second to none.

I then decided to jump at this business opportunity and start making some money from my house. I even told my sister about it, and she was my first customer. She sent them my nephew’s picture and had them make it into a picture puzzle. He loves to help do the puzzle of himself.
