Remember my Scott Giveaway from a couple of weeks ago? Well the generous folks over there have come up with another giveaway for us. To end our 10 Days of Giveaways this one is a GOODIE! A $100 VISA gift card! Yup, check this out:The SCOTT® Common Sense Community is the place where practical solutions and quality products come together to enhance your everyday life. I went and checked it out and they've got some fun money saving tips, time savers and everything in between. Plus you can join in the chat! It's a community of common sense!! LOL!
Scott Common Sense Community is your online destination for tips and advice on life’s everyday challenges. This month, Scott Common Sense Community is all about Change for the Better with tips on building healthy habits, healthy credit, and conquering holiday clutter. For me my change for the better has got to me my life/work balance. Over the past few months I've realized that it's not easy to be a Work at Home Mum and in fact some days I wish I could go to work as that may be easier than trying to balance it all. So I'm a work in progress. Sometimes I want to blog, other times I want to shop for 10 cent flipflops but most of the time I just want to be Tim's wife and take care of my teething son. Anyhoo.....

Our change for the better this month is taking our daughter out of full time daycare and down to two days a week. We're juggling schedules to allow her to be the focus of more of our lives. Wish us luck to not loose our sanity!
I'm subscribed :D
one of the changes I am trying to make is to have a cleaner house. Seriously, laundry seems to multiply and with 3 girls we are over run with clothes. I will be going through closets and donating items not used much or ever and not buying new stuff to replace it.
I want to volunteer at my son's school more.

I am going to try and be less wasteful this month! Trying to reuse items such as sour cream containers instead of throwing them away.

The change I really want to make this month is getting my house organized and declutter. I have been saying this all year but now that I have put my business to rest, I really pray that God gives me the strength and will to do it and keep it up.
I am really trying this month to put the laptop down and focus more on the kids during the day. Coloring can get boring but hanging out with my kids isn't.
my change is to start getting ready for the holidays so we don't use credit cards at all this year.
My change for the better this month would be to control my spending. Especially with the holidays coming up I need to pay attention to my spending habits so we don't crazy at Christmas!

My change is going to be organizing my house so it is more functionable. We seem to have lost our way around here. But we will be back on track soon enough. Going through and donating toys, clothes, food, and misc. items.
The change I want to make this month is to spend less time clipping coupons and more time knitting. I've been consumed with Jewel deals, and now have a full fridge, freezer and pantry.

I would like to be a little healthier this month. Drink more water, start exercising. Of course I say this every month but maybe this will be the month I actually do it!
Thanks for the giveaway! My change for the better: We just bought my son a new bed, so it's time for a major clean-out of his room.
I follow your blog!
We are trying to change for the better this month by trying to reduce the amount of electricity we use. We are hoping to reduce our electric bill by $20. I will continue to dry clothes outside as long as the weather cooperates and when I do need to stop that I will use the clothes racks that we have hung up in the basement. Turning off the computer instead of keeping it on stand by is another way, and trying to get the whole family together on unplugging items that aren't being used is also certain to help.
Thanks for the chance!!

The changes I plan on making this month is to wake everyday thankful for the good and the bad what ever happens. Not let the financial problems control my every minute of my day. Take a little time for me to smell the flowers or have a cup of tea outside on the patio listening the birds sing.

My change for the better is working toward leaving my current job as it is deadend and gives me undue stress. I am saving money every month, so that I can leave this job early next year even if I haven't yet landed another. It will be one step in the right direction for my life path. Thanx!!

I am trying to stretch our food budget by using more coupons and bargain hunting a bit more, along with shopping only from a list and cutting down on impulse purchases. That way we will have more to share with others.
The changes I will make for the better this month are... getting my daughter to the dentist, not getting upset w/ myself if I'm not "perfect," and loving my family more.

changes for the better - this month it is making my work out time a priority. At least 3 times a week to start - eventually I want to get to 6 but realistically 3 is great.

My big change will be spending less time on the computer and more time cleaning house; but it sure isn't happening today!
This month I am making a change for the Better to eat healthier. I'm eating more low fat meats and more fruits and vegtables. I'm making my own lunch to take to work instead of eating high fat, high calorie fast food.

This month, what I've been doing for a change for the better has been really working on organizing my home so that everything is more functional and efficient that way, we save time that we can spend together as a family instead of time trying to find something. This also makes our home more enjoyable.

This month I am starting by becoming a better steward of what God has given me. As a single mom our budget is very very tight. However, I have signed up for a financial freedom class which will help me financially and with my relationship with God. We have also stopped eating out at all, I am cleaning every nook and cranny in my home to give away stuff and have a garage sale. This is also an excellent time for me to get organized. I have stuff I didnt even know I had packed away, which means less shopping.

I am exercising more. Better for my health, and my family!
I am going to try and work less and spend more quality time with my daughter! :-)
My goal this month is to get back on a regular exercising routine as I have hardly worked out at all for the last 2 months. I also want to work harder to eat more fruits and veggies, which is easier for me to do in the summers but I struggle with in the winters.

My change for the better is to teach my oldest son how to make dinner and have him make it one night a week. It doesn't have to be anything fancy, but he needs to plan the menu, shop with me for the food and serve it. This will help me with my busy schedule and teach him some skills he will need later in life.

My change for this month is beginning a new parttime job. Teaching my children to pitch in more on the housework to keep the household running smoothly! It will be good for them to take ownership! Thanks for the chance at the great giveaway!

Our change for the better this month is to increase our eating "organics" as well as our healthy foods. Should be interesting towards the end of the month!
contact info, bratts29 @gmail.com
With this being the beginning of November there are several things on my list for this month:
1-Cleaning and getting the house in order before the holidays.
2-Get holiday shopping done early.
3-Spend less on the holiday gifts but make more of the gifts I give!
4-Hubby has been disabled since Dec 26th of last year. Hoping his health will be better by Dec 26th of this year but not holding my breath. I'd like to ride this crazy roller coaster in better spirits than last month. It's tough when the hubster's down and out for so long!

The biggest change I am planning to make is to find a job. My husband works over 200 miles away and is gone throughout the week. He wants to be able to find a job down here so I need to find a job for he can quit and come home and look. We have also been trying to cut cost and save money.
One change for the better I am making this month is to clean the house top to bottom & get rid of some of the junk cluttering up our house. Yay! to less clutter!!
