Get ready for spring clean-ups with Mailboxixchange

There are so many things that people do to perk their homes up, and now that spring is coming, outdoor tasks will begin to get tackled. One springtime task that you can do for your home is updating your homes mailbox. I know I drive past so many curbside mailboxes that have been beaten up over the winter from the snowplows going past and those same ones will need to be replaced come springtime!

With so many home improvement places, or websites out there, sometimes its easy to get lost in all the departments. There are sites out there like Mailboxixchange that offer great choices, in one department- mail boxes- so that you can shop one place for your needs.

With the selection at Mailboxixchange, you can shop for great quality residential mailboxes, locking mailboxes, multi-unit boxes, components and posts to go along with your mailbox of choice as well. Also, make sure you keep an eye on the site for great deals or sales. Right now, they have a banner featuring free shipping on everything, as well as savings of up to 50% off of retail prices!

Valuable information available through NMEDA

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of NMEDA for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Sometimes its hard to believe that my own grandparents, or even my parents, might be needing a wheelchair one day simply due to older age. Its even harder to believe, that God forbid, an accident may happen and someone that I care for may need one, even at a younger age. The National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association, or NMEDA, is a wealth of resource if you're ever in a position to help someone gain their independence back, and gain their mobility back at the same time. NMEDA is a non-profit organization, that doesn't sell anything, yet educates consumers and promotes safe driving and driving equipment for disabled people. You can easily search their site for qualified dealers near you, or learn more about their Quality Assurance Program.

NMEDA's Quality Assurance Program is the only nationally recognized accreditation program for the Adaptive Mobility Equipment Industry. Its a wonderful thing, to have a great resource like that behind you while doing research and making purchases that can change a life and restore some independence for someone you love. Its good to know that their outlook is that if you want to consistently keep your customers satisfied, you must have a systematic and documented approach to quality. Its a shame more companies and more programs don't use an outlook like that.

I'm happy to know in the back of my mind that if I need to turn to NMEDA, I can, and I know where to go thanks to them. There's a mobility assistance vehicle dealer less than 20 miles away from me, and I was able to get that info quickly and easily from the NMEDA site. Do you have one to turn to near you? Search by your zip code to find out!

Lets talk about things that might pertain to some of my readers...

Its been brought to my attention that certain people have begun reading A Couch With A View. So on that note, I'd like to touch on some subjects and get your input on them, and maybe we can all share with those readers. I'm sure the readers won't comment, and will not take part in discussion, but maybe they will read and gain some insight!!

--Alcohol abuse & family, can one be stronger than the alcohol and put their family and responsibilities above it???

--Dating after a breakup, when is it alright to start dating after a breakup?

--Absentee parenting, when a parent is absent, is it alright for the remaining parent to use their best judgement in all situations or should they take the absentee parent's feelings into consideration?

Please feel free to go into other similar topics, I would love to hear your thoughts and your take on these and anything else pertinent!

Thank you all! Can't wait to hear what you have to say!!

Success Made Simple with GoalForIt.com!

With my children being ages 6 and 2, I've begun instilling responsibilities in them and I've tried to look for great ways to reinforce the qualities they are learning. There's lots of ways out there to do so, and one of them is the GoalForIt.com website. With GoalForIt.com's goal setting, chore charts, behavior charts, and to-do lists, things seem so much more clear cut and easier to accomplish without a major meltdown from the kids.

I do love that the chore charts and the behavior charts are great for kids of all ages, but its even nicer that the goal setting chart can be used by parents, as well as by kids. For instance, if I wanted to set myself up with a goal chart to buy myself a new laptop, I could set that up for myself. But if Boug wanted to set up a goal chart to buy herself a new video game, she could do that as well, using the same format.

One of my favorite things though that GoalForIt.com offers is the chore chart, because, at 6 years old, its time for Boug to start pulling some weight around here with chores. Even if its the simple things that she's doing! I'm loving that they have 50 different background themes for their chore charts, so I can print one out that's perfect for Boug and keeps her attention in it!

This is a compensated post written in conjuction with MomSelect. Although I am compensated for this post, these are my honest and true opinions!
