I've found that when I do a deep cleaning in different rooms each day it saves me from having a "clean all day" day. I also try and do a load of laundry each day. Funny how when you have a new addition to the family your laundry doubles. Has anyone else noticed this!?! Doesn't help that I have to wash my husbands uniforms every 3-4 days or he runs out of clothes to wear... I know it means laundry everyday but once again I don't end up with a "doing laundry all day" day.

Take a Walk
With gas prices the way they are these days you never know if they are up or down. Either way if you walk more you'll save money and get fit in the process. I've just recently started walking to the Post Office to get my mail everyday (Those of us who live in rural areas don't have mail boxes right out front of our house!) Luckily the Bank and grocery store are both close to the Post Office for me so I'll walk to those and get errands run if the need arises.
If you are like me and can't afford a gym membership or get one an never use it, then investing in a good pair of walking shoes and walking everywhere could be right for you. If time permits I'll take "the long way" to the Post Office. I like to walk along the town walking path or just a few extra blocks on my way.
What about rain, snow, heat, children... well, get a rain coat, get a thick coat, walk early in the morning and use a stroller!
Well, what are you waiting for? Go out there and get walking!

TV, Movies, Music...
I hate it when I miss an episode of my favorite TV show! Luckily hulu.com keeps at least 5 episodes at a time online for you to view for FREE! We don't even subscribe to TV anymore.
Check out http://www.hulu.com/ for TV and movies
I love to check out funny clips and watch upcoming movie trailers ... I also have a growing playlist of music that I'll listen to while I'm on the computer. Just open up your playlist on another tab.
and http://www.youtube.com/ for movie trailers, music and more

Best Time To Buy in August
August
--Patio furniture: You'll still have a couple of months of nice weather to enjoy your purchase. Retailers usually start marking down pieces around July 4 with discounts of up to 50 percent in August.
--Outdoor toys: Look for discounts of 30 percent to 75 percent on swimming gear, swing sets, beach toys and other items for outdoor fun.
--School and office supplies: Back-to-school time is when retailers offer some of the year's lowest prices on pens, pencils, paper and notebooks, as well as staplers, printer paper, file folders and other home-office necessities.
--Swimwear: It's also a great time to buy swimwear -- as retailers replace bikinis with coats.

Best Time To Buy airline tickets
Tuesdays
Buy your airline tickets just after midnight on Tuesdays as Airlines raise prices for weekend. That is... if you can say up that late. ;)
