Today would have been my Grandpa's 88th birthday...but he passed away 4 years ago on this day. The top picture is me and my Grandpa when I was probably about 3 or 4 I think and the bottom one is my Grandpa, Me and my Grandma when I was around 22 I think. I'm terrible with remembering dates....ugh.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I just wanted to write a little post to remember my Grandpa because he was the BEST Grandpa ever. He was the kindest man you could ever meet and he cared for and loved his family unconditionally. Some of my best childhood memories are with him and my Grandma when I stayed with them in Florida over summer vacation. My favorite was waking up in the morning to the smell of their coffee and walking out to the kitchen table where they would be reading the paper and finding that Grandpa already went out in the morning to get us Dunkin' Donuts donut holes! I loved that!<br />
<br />
I miss my Grandpa so much and always will! Do you have a grandparent that you miss? <br />

<br />
Today I had to do a post to brag on my dear hubby a little bit! He works so hard at what he does so I had to share! As you may or may not know, my husband, Tim is VP of <a href="http://www.m25m.org/">Matthew 25 Ministries</a> here in Cincinnati, Ohio. M25M does disaster relief and humanitarian aid and gives to the poorest of the poor. They do great things! Visit their website at www.m25m.org and check them out for yourself when you get a chance!<br />

</div>Anyway, on to their record year! Here is some info about 2010 for M25M:<br />
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">The final (unaudited) numbers for 2010 are in, and we did even better than we reported in December. <a href="http://www.m25m.org/" shape="rect" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Matthew 25: Ministries</a> had a record year, indeed. </div><ul><li style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">In total, we shipped 581 truckloads of aid to the poorest of the poor.</li>
<li style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">These containers carried 13 million pounds of desperately needed products to people in need here in Greater Cincinnati, throughout the U.S., and to 18 international locations.</li>
<li style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">We had 22,000 volunteers give of their time.</li>
<li style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">We had 88 new corporate donors. </li>
</ul><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">But here's the truly important number: With your help, Matthew 25: Ministries reached <strong>14.5 million people</strong> in 2010. Wow! Thank you for your support and for making all of this work possible. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div>After you read more about Matthew 25: Ministries, you will see how great they are, so if you were wanting to find somewhere to donate to this year, please consider giving to Matthew 25! You can donate right online and if you live in the Cincinnati area, you can also donate your time by volunteering!<br />
<br />
Here is a little button I made to show my support for Matthew 25: Ministries! If you decide to support them too, please feel free to grab this button to use on your blog! Thanks! :)<br />

I have to admit, I'm terrible at saving money...terrible... I'm a spender and unfortunately, so is my husband! We don't even have a Savings Account, we use an alternate checking account for saving, but nothing stays there... it's sad really. BUT 2011 is a new year and I'm trying to make a change for the better as far as saving goes (and paying off debt!).<br /><br />So, I signed up for <a href="https://www.smartypig.com/">SmartyPig</a> online and automatically have money taken out of our checking account 2 times a month. My first savings goal is a $1,000 Emergency Fund. You can see my little SmartyPig widget on my left sidebar and it will track my progress.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWD0MSwsM_oqTRWczi9Kef_eiem037QXL3hSZ_xGKXru0HuYjWL0mUPcdEF3n-nlp31XOZqUDq4UYHRgNSxHim_ew5azSjABNEKkBz_i4JGylaliGnTUvGZ63Kulwef-PeErJHRiwLPtg/s1600/02b.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWD0MSwsM_oqTRWczi9Kef_eiem037QXL3hSZ_xGKXru0HuYjWL0mUPcdEF3n-nlp31XOZqUDq4UYHRgNSxHim_ew5azSjABNEKkBz_i4JGylaliGnTUvGZ63Kulwef-PeErJHRiwLPtg/s1600/02b.png" border="0" /></a></div>Anyway, the thing about SmartyPig that is cool is that you can share your savings goals with other people and even let them help you fulfill them! You can link with <span style="color:blue;">Facebook </span>and then other people can see your goal and add to it without getting any of your account information!!! How cool is that? I thought it would be cool for a couple getting married and saving for the wedding or honeymoon or someone having a baby, a kid saving for college, anything like that!<br /><br /><a href="https://www.smartypig.com/">SmartyPig</a> is<span style="font-size:large;"> free </span>to join and there are no fees to withdraw your money! In fact, you can actually earn money by using SmartyPig! You really need to go check it out for yourself....<span style="color:blue;">BUT WAIT</span>...one of the ways you can earn money is by referring people. You can refer up to 100 people and earn $25 for each person!!! So...<span style=";font-size:large;color:purple;" >I would love to refer you</span> if you are interested! There is no easy way to do that yet through their site except for sending an email...but they are working on it! So if you would let me refer you, I would really appreciate it so that I can add to my <span style="color:red;">Emergency Fund</span>! :) Just click on<span style="color:red;"> Contact</span><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"> Me</span> at the top of my blog and send me an email asking me to refer you to SmartyPig! Please and Thank you! Then you can refer people you know and earn yourself some money too!<br /><br /><a href="http://s1113.photobucket.com/albums/k502/liviandme/?action=view&current=Chaninsiggy.png" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1113.photobucket.com/albums/k502/liviandme/Chaninsiggy.png" border="0" /></a><br /><input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><input id="jsProxy" onclick="jsCall();" type="hidden"><br /><div id="refHTML"></div><input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"><div id="refHTML"></div>Chaninhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15303616031594394836noreply@blogger.com0
