Spring Fling

Our Family went to the "Spring Fling" carnival that was held at our little one's elementary school. It was loads of fun! We watched the kids bounce around all over the place, ate corndogs and pizza, and Big Daddy can never stay away from the bake sale!! He says he has to give every effort to "support his child's school".






The kids went on a hayride, we viewed all the cool things the vendors had to offer and the kids had their hair spray painted blue and orange!

We had such a nice time together and were all Spring Flinged out for the year!

Bring it on Ladies!- Go Boy Power!!

Welcome to world...I am so glad that you are in it today! It is great to be here with you. Extra- Extra read all about it... Ismailwire and Momfiles.com has joined forces once again to bring the maximum value to both blog readers. (Well lets just say my wife won the bet.) I am married to the beautiful Sheliza and she used her womanly charms to convince me to be her blog writer for father issues, and assist with small business advice for her (oops, "Our Readers"). My grown up job is President of Financial Options, LLC a commercial real estate lending firm in SC. I plan on sticking up for the dads that read her (oops, "Our Blog"). As a man, I will be a champion of the man people, I will be a voice for the men near and far. Bring it on ladies! Go- BOY POWER! (What, my wife controls what gets posted ?-Hey No Fair!)

* Wife made put this: "I am really excited about being a part of momfiles.com, my wife was right, and I will obey the momfiles.com rules".

Man, censorship already... on my first post! Fellas, I will need your help to back me up on here. Make sure to help me out by commenting on my post. But in my manly defense, (wife is looking over my shoulder), I 'll just shut up here. Take care everyone and have a great day. Ismail "the Great" ! Go Boy POWER!

Stay-at-home moms may become extinct!

I was watching the evening news last night and the anchor was talking about (what other than) the sticker shock we are facing for gas and groceries. We all are seeing how expensive it is to fill up our vehicles and it seems to burn faster than ever! Then they talked about corn. I guess I never realized just how much corn is so much a part of virtually everything we eat and drink with the exception of fresh fruit and vegetables. Corn is used in the form of corn syrup as a sweetener... corn is fed to the chickens that lay eggs than we cook and bake with...corn is fed to the cows that produce the milk we pay 4 bucks a gallon for... many products contain corn (snacks, cereal, etc...) and then there is ethanol . It is said that gas will most likely go up to $4 a gallon this Summer. Looks like no relief anytime soon. I know that I continue to shop according to sales and combining coupons to help cut back. I even shop 2-3 grocery stores (all located next to each other) to stretch my dollars. I know it is hard for working people to do that. Speaking of which, if these costs stay this way for years to come, does this mean the stay-at-home mom will have to go find a job outside of the home to help support their family? What do you think?

Watch out...here comes trouble!!

Hello friends, hope everyone is having a fantastic day! I am going to have my hubby do a few posts each week. Lots of you have contacted me and think he is so entertaining. Trust me, you just don't know~! He feels like he can offer some advice to the ladies about a 'man's point on view'. I know some of you are laughing right now, because I know I am! ;o) Let me stop making fun of the guy (that will be next week's post with a video clip of how loud he snores!). No I really should stop before I get my stay-at-home mom title revoked! He will also offer other good bits of information and tips dealing with real estate, financing, credit, and "daddy" advice. I always mention that he is a big baby, this is why I refuse to give him a son. Who needs two Dwayne's in the world! Now folks, be open minded because sometimes the man is a little too "out there"! I have signed up for a lifetime of "better or worse". Ha! Ha!~

Digital phone service

Hello all! Today I wanted to give you are warning, in the event you did not already know this. Digital phone service has become a very popular choice recently and saves big bucks when compared to the traditional phone lines. I personally have digital phone for home and business and have been pleased mostly for the savings. Here it comes, the downfall... when you are receiving a call waiting call and click over, beware that the person you were speaking with can possibly hear your conversation on the other line. This has happened to me twice! I now do not bother to click over and just let the calls go to voicemail. You never know who might hear something that was not intended for their ears! My local provider assured me that this was temporary and they are working out the "glitches". So be careful what you say!
