Monitors are always a good deal on Black Friday and HP is not failing us! Their ER line of monitors are all on sale, starting at $119 for a 22 inch.

I am a super fan of portable speakers! I use them in my kitchen, bathroom, and outside all the time! So I am always looking for great wireless speaker deals for me and as gifts. HP has their Roar Mini Speakers 20% off. They have them in some great colors.

The last item I want to mention is a bit of a splurge. It is the HP Sprocket Photo Printer. This is an instant photo printer that you can pop in a bag. This would be great to take to a party, use in a scrapbook, or any event! It is on sale for $129.

Worship Wednesday

Sing to the Lord

November 23, 2016 NerdMom Leave a comment

This week for Worship Wednesday I wanted to look at 1 Chronicles 16:23:

Sing to the Lord, all the earth! Tell of his salvation from day to day

This was one of the verses in this month’s copy work that I am doing that is focused on gratitude. The worship song that popped into my head was an oldie but a goodie! Since not all of you may be as old as I am, I found a version of “Shout to the Lord” on Youtube that had lyrics. Now you don’t have any reason to not join in on the worship!

Have a great Thanksgiving filled with gratitude!

Worship Wednesday

November 16, 2016 NerdMom 1 Comment

I have recently realized that while I read Bible verses everyday I really needed a midweek worship break! So I have decided to start doing a Worship Wednesday. For me singing out worship helps me to actually close some of my stressful thoughts. I thought maybe you all would like to join me?

I am going to try to pick a verse and a song every week. This week is about joy, gratitude, and sharing!

I am free because of Christ and Christ alone! Because of that I have no choice than to be grateful and draw close to the Lord.

Goodies from Groupon Goods

Holiday season is upon us! I can’t believe it but we are heading into the gift giving season. I love giving gifts, usually. But every year there are challenging gift giving situations. At least they seem to be challenging for me. But Groupon Goods is here to help.

Every year there are those gifts you have to buy. Maybe it is your child’s teacher who you know nothing about. Or maybe it is your UPS person? Sunday School teacher? These are all people you may barely know but you really don’t think the 4th grade teacher need yet another apple mug/pencil/pad/etc. You want to get something fun yet inexpensive! I mean, you may be buying 20 of these type of gifts. flashing-braids

Enter Groupon Goods. That quirky teacher may love some flashing, light up braids for crazy hair day.

Who doesn’t love a shower speaker? I have actually had this one and it lasted for years! And for $8, you can’t beat it!

Need a gag gift for an exchange? Then maybe you should consider a Banana Bunker.

Now don’t get me wrong, Groupon Goods has a ton of high end products for great prices too. Things like Cannon Cameras, Chi hair tools, and Little Giant ladders. But I personally get a huge kick out of all these sweet little bargain pieces!

So go and grab some deals! And Happy Holiday Giving!
