To understand how this website came about, first, you need to get to know me.  I am a penny pinching bargain hunting nanny.  Please don't confuse me with the goats I raise.  LOL  I was born and raised in Corpus Christi, TX but I have made my home in Mulberry, AR.  My husband and I first moved from San Antonio, TX to Rudy, Arkansas in the spring of 1997 and our first home was in our van on a piece of property offered by someone as a camping spot.  I wish we would have had a way to shop on-line at Cabelas.  This is a great place to find hunting and camping supplies.  We resided there for nearly six months before finding a "real" home in Natural Dam.  We lived in the beautiful town of Natural Dam for a while before deciding we needed to be closer to my work, so we moved to Van-Alma.  While we lived there we began looking for our "piece of the pie" and we found it right here in the gorgeous hills of Mulberry just at the edge of the Ozark National Forest.

Although I enjoy my job I was looking for more.  Something that I really enjoyed and that helped people.  It wasn't until my husband decided to help people repair their computers that I realized what a big misconception that people have about Internet shopping.  Did you know that identity theft occurs mostly off-line and that it is safer to shop on-line than what most people realize? Well this is true and you can read all about it at the Better Business Bureau.  Once I realized this I started hunting for many wonderful bargains on the Internet and now I can tell you my husband has created a monster!!  HAHAHA

I am the type of woman that enjoys things of nature such as flowers, gardening, animals, etc.  My favorite flower of all is the rose.  When my husband and I were dating he knew the way to my heart wasn't in diamonds and rubies but in roses, so now when he orders flowers for the garden from Michigan Bulb he is a sweetheart and orders me some roses for that special touch.  He is a very unique person.  He hurts when I hurt and is angry when I am angered.  I remember a few years back I had lost my favorite pet, a scroungey ole mutt named Scraps.  Scraps and I had been through a lot together from him almost dying of parvo to going fishing together.  So what does Scraps do to me our first year in Arkansas?  The crazy ole dog gets himself run over by a truck!  My how that broke my heart in two.  He was a dumb dog but so loveable and I loved him so!  My husband didn't exactly care for him because he wasn't basically nothin' but a lap dog.  But let me tell you one thing that man of mine hurt because I hurt and believe you me this was no act!  We got over that dreadful event and when we moved to our farm we are living on now he bought me a Rat Terrier on Valentines Day.  We named her Ruth and she has been with us ever since.  If you're like me you like to take care of your animals, I have found that Petscriptions and Pet Food Direct are good places to go for your pet needs without the hassle of using gas at today's high prices!  Of course our furry little friends aren't the only ones that need care sometimes.  Us people also need some TLC every now and again.  That is why we go to DrugStore.com, you can you get your prescriptions filled there as long as you  follow the guidelines they set forth under the "common questions" category on the prescriptions page.  This is extremely useful because this causes automatic delivery as well as notification of need to renew prescriptions.  DrugStore.com also has many other items such as personal care items, hair care, vitamins, skin care, baby and kids care, etc.  They also have free standard shipping on orders of $25.00 or more on nonprescription items.  Be sure to sign up for "drugstore.com dollars" for added savings.

One day while my husband was printing out business cards he mentioned that we were running low on ink so I went surfing on the net and started comparing prices on the Internet opposed to our local store that offered ink cartridges and found that we could save $8.00 at 123 Ink Jets.  My husband, as I mentioned earlier, helps people to repair their computers, so he buys quite a few computer parts from Best Buy.  While talking to a friendly tech there, he mentioned that we could save on our long distance calls by participating in Skype for very little cost to those people you call that have Skype too.  Now that is a super bargain that all people can use at their home!

I am not one for knowing the technicalities of computer repair, so I mainly use the computer for shopping for bargains and entertainment and I have found Napster  to be a fabulous place for listening and downloading my favorite music!  You receive unlimited access to 1,000,000 plus songs, you can listen to and download an unlimited amount of music, enjoy 50+ commercial-free interactive radio stations, discover and share music with other Napster members, with Napster to go, you fill and refill any compatible MP3 player without paying per song or album (Of course it is necessary to maintain a Napster subscription in order to continue access to songs downloaded through the Napster service.), best of all it is fast, safe and now legal.  Wow!!  This is all available to you for only $14.95 a month!!  That's a real huge bargain!  Now don't get me wrong my husband isn't a total computer "geek" he likes his entertainment too.  He enjoys watching NASCAR racing on TV.  I don't care for racing much so when he is "racing" with the boys I go to my computer and play pool, talk to my friends or whatever I find that is interesting to me.  Oh my, I better hope and pray he doesn't find the NASCAR.com SUPERSTORE on-line that I found because they have many bargains there!  Man, I better keep him away from there or we will go in the poor house for sure!!!  LOL

Finally when planning a vacation or an extended trip I always make sure that I have enough unmentionables from Just My Size store.  I am sure to avoid the hassle of having to find a second choice hotel because the one I really would like to go to is full!  So I order my reservations in advance at Hotelopia.  Another smart choice to consider are those long, boring rides with no scenery at times so I go to Family Christian Stores and I find some good wholesome reading at reasonable prices.  One very important detail not to forget are the repairs that need to be done to the goat pen before you leave so the goats can't escape and get into major trouble!  I do this at The HOME Depot.  Of course like the old familiar saying goes "Don't leave home without it", I definitely don't want to leave home without God because we all are to take him and his Word along with us anywhere we go!  Speaking about beliefs if you happen to be Catholic, my best friend Rachel happens to be the owner of raylynnsrosaries.com where she has several gift ideas.

I have met many fine people on the Internet and enjoy building relationships.  Don't be shy drop me a line.  Click on the pic below and e-mail me!
