Natures Powerhouse

I have three beautiful daughters and all of them are fans of footie pajamas. Why? It is because their mommy is a wearer, as well, when I was younger. I may not remember it but my mom used to tell me that I love wearing them. She even said that I called them: tooty.

This type of girls pajamas are comfortable and gives a feeling of security. Everytime I slip it on my girls, 5 minutes - they’re off to la-la land, sleeping ever so soundly. You see, it does not only have long sleeves to protect your kids from cold, you won’t need to have your kids wear socks; it has a footie. So since birth until 2 years old, all of my girls wore their “tooty” pajamas. Now, they’re grown up and have kids of their own, guess what they let their babies wear to sleep?

“Tooty” pajamas!

With the advancement of technology and all, they buy the pajamas from a website that offers all kinds of children clothing needs. I was amazed at how they shop, nowadays. All you have to do is view the page, click on what you like and confirm your purchase. After a few day, it arrives. Nice!

Our safety supplies came in about two weeks after our janitorial supplies and they were ordered at the same time. I even placed the order for both of them, from the same company. I called them to see what had happened and I guess that it was not their fault after all. It was our accounting departments fault.

When I placed the order, I put in the janitorial supplies order and paid for it. Then I went back in and placed the safety supplies order and paid for it. I guess that I paid for the janitorial supplies with the wrong account information and the accounting department would not authorize it, till they found out what was specifically in the order. It took a little extra time but it all worked out in the end.

The only reason that I have been working for my parents discount office supplies store, is because I was laid off of my job about six months ago. I have lots of friends who are out of work and some of them have even had to move back home with their parents. Thank goodness, my parents are paying me enough money to keep my apartment by working and selling office supplies.

I have had to explain several times, why I went from being a marketing director, to an office supplies clerk but I think that it shows that I am willing to do anything. Plus, I can get any good company that I work for, a good deal on discount office supplies. I do usually throw that in at the end of the interview but it has not helped me out yet.

My parents say that they love having me in the store again, since I used to work here in high school and during my summer breaks of college. It was so nice to be able to just walk in and know exactly what to do but having a job in marketing, is really my passion and I hope that I find something soon.

My little brother just started up his own discount office supplies company. He is currently renting a big storage warehouse just south of town and his little store is doing quite well. In fact, he just hired one of the best website designers in the country to build him a site where he can sell the office supplies on the internet. I think that since he is such a real go getter, the site will really take off once it is done.

He has been working for about two years towards getting the discount office supplies company off the ground, all while working a different full time job till everything was in place. Now, he is his own boss and he loves it. I knew of a few people that needed a job and sent them to him and he hired them right away.

The whole town is talking about his new store and how he has the best prices on office supplies in the city. He has been advertising his low prices for months and I think that no one really thought that he was going to be able to offer prices that low, but he has proved them all wrong and is doing a great job.

The only thing that I forgot to pack for our trip up north was the footie pajamas that I had bought for the entire family from a really neat website. I found the site while just searching for boys pajamas but when I saw that they had sizes for everyone in footie pajamas, I just knew that I had to get them. I think that I got a pretty good deal since the most I paid for one pair was something like twenty dollars.

I figured that I might have a difficult time getting my husband and my teenage boys to put them on, but it was going to be fun trying, or so I thought.

I may see if the delivery schedule on the site where I originally got them would be able to get them to me at my parent’s house before Christmas Eve which is when I thought that we would all wear them. If I cannot get them then I will just check out some of the stores in the area and get them some nice fancy boys pajamas that are of a Christmas theme.

My parents would have gotten such a kick out of all of us walking out of our rooms wearing footie pajamas though, so I am still holding out hope that I can get an order in on time.

My whole company has put their entire lists of wants for office supplies on my desk and I now need to find a really good discount office supplies store to get them all from. Maybe if I find a good discount office supply company online then I can afford to get everything on everyone’s lists. I have already informed them all that I might have to cut the lists a little bit and just get the necessities for now but that I would try my best to get them completed.

A few of my employees have offered to share certain things like staples and reams of copy paper to help me out. I never thought that sales would be down so much that I would not be able to get the office supplies that everyone needs.

I know that I have seen online discount office supplies sites and had thought that they probably sell stuff that is not the best of quality. I was wrong though, because I just discovered a company that has all brand name office supplies but at discounted prices. I placed my order for everything and was happy when the total was not even half of what I thought it would be.

I only had two things on my birthday list this year, and my husband did not get me either of them. I asked him for a pair of Prada running shoes or one of the new fall Gucci handbags that I had seen online. Instead of one of my requested items from my list, he got me a membership to the new gym that just opened in town. I feel like an idiot and obviously he thinks that I need to work out.

When we first got together about five years ago, he bought me my first pair of Prada running shoes very shortly after we met in the gym. He also bought me different types of Gucci handbags as surprises all the time but apparently he does not want to do that anymore and the gym membership shows that.

I am not sure if I should just act like it does not bother me or really throw a fit about it. I do not think that by using the gym membership, it will make me not want the other items. I do know that I will just have to go and treat myself to the things that were on my birthday list. He will probably not even notice them when I get them.

The business downstairs just changed the company that they use for their janitorial products and I went to see why. The owner told me that the company that we both had been using for years, is priced too high. His accountant made him aware that he should really shop around for a cheaper cleaning supplies company last month. The accountant sees other people bills for their janitorial products and knew that he could find a cheaper company pretty easy.

The owner told me that he had cut his cleaning supplies cost in half by switching to this different company and they have overnight shipping. So, if he is ever out of anything he just places the order and it will be there the next day. The company that I use will bring you whatever cleaning supplies you are out of within twenty four hours of you calling them, but they charge you an additional charge of twenty dollars for an extra trip fee.

I took down all of the information about this janitorial products company and told one of my employees to get out the list of what we pay for each of our items and compare it to the cleaning supplies rate sheet from this different company. We ended up switching by the end of the week and are saving about two hundred dollars a month.

While shopping in a nearby mall, I saw a teenager who was wearing a very funny t shirt. I asked him where he had gotten it, and he told me about a website that sold funny t shirts and it was really cool, according to him. I wrote down the web address of the funny t shirts site and tucked it away in my purse. I went on my way and continued to shop for a bachelorette gift for my niece. I did not find anything at the mall that day so decided to go home and try my luck on the internet. I started by searching the fancy boutiques online but everything was too expensive. I then remembered the piece of paper in my purse and decided to check out the funny t shirts website. I could not believe my eyes, at the site. They had a lot of really funny cheap t shirts that would be awesome at a bachelorette party. I decided to order two different designs since they were some of the coolest cheap t shirts I had ever seen. I asked my niece which one she wanted us to wear at the party and she had a hard time choosing between the two funny cheap t shirts.

I was trying to come up with invitations for my daughter’s party that were unique. I did not want to do the same old things that everyone else always did.

Then a friend told me about this bride that did her wedding invitations with photo puzzles. I was curious and thought that this might be exactly what I was looking for. I got online and found a great company that did quality work. I sent them a picture of my daughter that was just recently taken at Disney World that she loved.

They were to take the picture and turn it into photo puzzles along with the party information. These had to be the coolest party invitations that my daughter’s friends had ever gotten. They had to put the photo puzzle together, to see what the invitation said on it. All of the mom’s told me that their daughters loved them. They wanted to know where you could order these cool invitations from, of course I told them. We were the first ones to have them, and now they would just be copying off of our unique find of using photo puzzles for invitations.

I even used them for our yearly Labor Day party invitations this year; they are such conversations starters, when the people get to the party.
