It's where I go when I want to find out the latest deals, what's happening with my friends and family or just want to spend a few minutes playing a game. <br /><br />The problem is a few minutes on facebook has a tendency to turn into an hour or so. I used to think the facebook games were a time drain but in reality it is all of facebook. While yes it might make things easier, in reality all the information I get from facebook can be found elsewhere. I can email my friends for life updates, I can read my google reader for the best internet deals and I can find games to play anywhere on the internet. <br /><br />In honor of my "resolution" to declutter and simplify our lives this year I want to do a facebook fast. I am not Catholic but the timing and time span just seemed to work and inspire me. So in a quest to remember what exactly I did with all my free time before facebook and maybe even be productive for a while I'm logging off of our big blue friend. <br /><br />I can't get rid of all my online conveniences, I can't imagine what my email would look like if I didn't check that, but hopefully this little (yet hard) change will help me spend more time on the things I find important in life and the world around me.Megan http://www.blogger.com/profile/06620071723953364917noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4815120776324469813.post-25545243291946315592011-03-03T14:12:00.002-05:002011-03-03T14:19:24.231-05:00Soft Scrub Giveaway!As a Soft Scrub Captain I get the opportunity on occasion to try out their new products. Just last week I received a bottle of their newest Total (bath and kitchen) and a few coupons to try out.<br /><div><a href="http://www.softscrub.com/?utm_source=captain&utm_medium=banner&utm_content=toolkit&utm_campaign=captain%2Btoolkit"><img src="http://captain.softscrub.com/img/toolkit/embed/resized/_large/softscrub_total_allpurpose.jpg" alt="softscrub_total_allpurpose" align="left" /></a></div><br />I’ve used the Total line before in the bathroom and kitchen lines, but this new Total product is multi-purpose. One bottle, every room, it will definitely make cleaning quicker.<br /><br />There are a couple of things I really like about the Total line in general one of them being that you can use bottle upside down. Who hasn’t been trying to spray a hard to reach area only to have a bottle leak on you or quit working all together? It’s frustrating, especially if you’re working with harsh chemicals. No one wants to wear toilet cleaner on their hands or clothes. The Total bottle line works right side or upside down making it pretty convenient. You can also adjust the spray to be a sprits or foam which comes in for different areas of your home. I’m a foam girl in areas like my kitchen where I want to hit a stain on the stove and not nearby food or utensils. Then in the bathroom I’m a sprits cleaner b/c I like to make sure I’ve hit as much as possible.<br /><div><a href="http://www.softscrub.com/?utm_source=captain&utm_medium=banner&utm_content=toolkit&utm_campaign=captain%2Btoolkit"><img src="http://captain.softscrub.com/img/toolkit/embed/resized/_large/Softscrub_total_upside_down.jpg" alt="Softscrub_total_upside_down" /></a></div><br /><br /><br />You can also find out more about the Total line and the new all purpsose cleaner on their <a href="http://www.facebook.com/SoftScrub"> facebook page. </a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">GIVEAWAY INFORMATION</span><br />If you haven’t already had the chance to try the newest Total all purpose cleaning product I’m going to give you the chance right now. Take a few seconds and use the ENTER HERE form below to enter for a chance to win your own full size bottle. I’ll draw a winner next Monday and you can enter one time. Good Luck!<br /><br /><iframe src="https://spreadsheets.google.com/embeddedform?formkey=dFVtRGNoTUd1ZDJYQU5ZNlFWYTRteGc6MQ" width="760" height="445" frameborder="0" marginheight="0"

I’ve saved over $513 from using <a href= http://www.paperbackswap.com/index.php?n=8&r_by=megani> paperbackswap.com.</a> If you aren’t already a member I highly suggest you consider signing up. The first book I dove into this year was <a href= http://www.amazon.com/Put-More-Cash-Your-Pocket/dp/B003H4RE2S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1297873871&sr=8-1> “Put More Cash in Your Pocket: Turn What You Know into Dough”</a> by Loral Langemeier. <br /><img src= http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/518iSPchaCL._BO2,204,203,200_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-click,TopRight,35,-76_AA300_SH20_OU01_.jpg height=50% width=50% align=left><br /><br />The one major eye sore that stuck out and almost ruined the book for me was the complete lack of editing. There were misspellings, words out of place, run on sentences, just about every literary blunder you can make. Now don’t get me wrong I’m not saying I’ve never made my fair share of mistakes, heck just the other day I used a their/there incorrectly (and didn’t notice it in time to correct it), but I’m also not publishing a book and expecting to make a few million on it either. I hope that future editions will be scrutinized a little more heavily. <br /><br />For the most part though it’s a pretty good read. The average reader can get through it at a quick pace and the chapters are filled with step by step instructions on how to find, start, and get working on making some extra dough. The book itself is pretty inspiration but like many things I think most people (myself included) will find it hard to continue that motivation and stride into the weeks after reading. I could blame it on the almost seven month old who still isn’t sleeping through the night but honestly if it wasn’t him I’m sure there would be another just as time consuming commitment out there. As Zig says “Motivation is like bathing, you have to do it every day”, I’m still working on my every day.Megan http://www.blogger.com/profile/06620071723953364917noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4815120776324469813.post-24117877537178846092011-02-09T21:55:00.001-05:002011-02-09T21:57:44.023-05:00Is it 2011 already???It’s a good thing I didn’t set any resolutions this year huh? If I had they most certainly would have included things like working out and posting more, both of which haven’t been done.<br /><br />I do, however; have some things I would like to accomplish this year, for this blog and my own personal home. And even though it doesn’t seem like it one of them will be posting on a regular basis. I can’t promise an every day post but I’m shooting for good content at the very least once a week. Now that we’ve hit six months with Owen things in our home are finally starting to settle down and I feel I can once again devote time to On Our Way and getting our finances back on track. I won’t lie they have taken a back burner these last few months and it shows.<br /><br />I was feeling a little “over whelmed” with how often some blogs post and my inability to keep up with them, but over time I have realized that while the sheer number of post on other blogs have gone up actual content has not. I want to provide the readers of OnOurWay useful content.<br /><br />So what are my goals for this year<br /><br />I plan to spend 2011 getting our finances back together which includes:<br />- Increasing our emergency back to $7,000<br />- Opening a Roth IRA<br />- Continuing to save for important things (Owen's education and a car fund)<br />- We also need to work on paying off our student loans this year. I hope to be able to get one fully paid off.<br /><br />But of course I want to do more than just work on finances this year. I also want to spend a significant amount of time reducing the clutter in our lives, on a physical and mental basis. Each month I plan to pick a part of my life and clean it out. I’ll share each area and hope you’ll join me in paring down.<br /><br />So lets get started….Megan http://www.blogger.com/profile/06620071723953364917noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4815120776324469813.post-20445393285803805932010-12-19T21:35:00.002-05:002010-12-19T21:43:15.930-05:00New Cinnamon Burst CheeriosPretend there is a super amazing video embedded right here. <br /><center><br /><img src=http://www.myblogspark.com/s/11916/images/CBC_Image.jpg height=50%, width=50%></center><br /><br />Because there should be, had everything gone as planned, of course you know it never does.<br />Myblogspark.com and Cheerios sent me a package of their new Cinnamon Burst Cheerios and a flip so I could tell you all about their new product. I’ve spent the last two days trying to get my video off the camera. Trust me it isn’t a problem with the camera it is all user error I’m sure. I’ve uploaded videos before, I know I can do it. Maybe it’s the fatigue of still not sleeping through the night, apparently no one has told little Owen that the hours of 10pm – 8am are for sleeping. <br /><br />Anyway, video aside let’s talk about the new Cinnamon Burst Cheerios. <br />We eat a lot of dry cereal here, well let me rephrase that, I eat a lot of cereal. It’s simple, easy to make and even easier to eat, especially when you have a five month old who demands constant attention. I love that the new Cinnamon Burst Cheerios is flavored with real cinnamon; so many products found on store shelves in today’s market cannot make the same claims. For the many of us out there who are trying to make sure we eat more “real” foods it is a definite selling point. <br /><br />Then there are the other perks, the ones that are found under the label Nutritional Facts. Over the last year I’ve been paying much more attention to this side the box on the products we eat. One cup of Cinnamon Burst Cheerios contains 110 calories. Sodium; a very important ingredient for us right now runs in at 125mg, so much lower than many other products. Seriously take a look at some of the sodium content of your favorite foods, I bet you’ll look at your cupboards much differently afterward. Yet, the new Cheerios doesn’t just boaster low calories and sodium; you can also find 5 grams of fiber in each cup, that’s 20% of your daily value. We look for products that offer 3 or more grams of fiber when shopping so it is nice to know just once cup of Cheerios meets those requirements. <br /><br />But don’t just take my word for it. Give the new Cheerios a look the next time you’re in the store. Compare the side bar to that of the cereal you normally buy, I bet you’ll be surprised at what you see. And should you take a box home to try you won’t be disappointed with the flavor. <br /><br />I also promise I’ll keep working on that video and once I get it up I’ll leave a link of where you can find my in-depth look into the cardboard box. <br /><center><br /><img src=http://www.myblogspark.com/s/11916/images/CBC_Logo.jpg></center><br /><br />You know I would never endorse a product here if I didn’t actually find it enjoyable even though there was also a sample sent, but per disclaimers I need to make that known.Megan http://www.blogger.com/profile/06620071723953364917noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4815120776324469813.post-49651201551825414322010-10-28T21:30:00.002-04:002010-10-28T21:33:22.867-04:00Have a shutter filled Christmas this year!Have you heard? Bloggers of all sized and topic blogs are eligible to receive 50 free holiday cards from <a href= http://www.shutterfly.com/>Shutterfly</a> In order to qualify you have to write a post about your <a href= http://www.shutterfly.com/>Shutterfly</a> experience and then spread the word. If you would like to participate in this promotion you can find out more information <a href=http://bit.ly/sfly2010>here</a>. I wouldn’t write a post about their products if I didn’t think they were great so please know that even though I hope to qualify for this promotion all my comments are 100% pure. OnOurWay would not and will not endorse a product I feel to be inferior. <br /><br />Now on to my <a href= http://www.shutterfly.com/>Shutterfly</a> review. <br />I’ve been using <a href= http://www.shutterfly.com/>Shutterfly</a> for quite a few years and have always loved their products, in fact they are the main reason I gave up scrapbooking. It is so much cheaper, cleaner, and quicker to design and order a <a href= http://www.shutterfly.com/>Shutterfly</a> photo book than it is to sit around all day designing and making scrapbook pages. Plus, to sweeten the deal even more <a href= http://www.shutterfly.com/>Shutterfly</a> often has great sales or coupon codes floating around that I can use to create a photo book or other product for much less than I used to spend on scrapbooking supplies. I love to pass them out for Christmas presents and have documented all our vacations, wedding, and now new baby in <a href= http://www.shutterfly.com/>Shutterfly</a> albums. <br /><br />Last year for Christmas we used <a href= http://www.shutterfly.com/>Shutterfly</a> to create our holiday cards and used a picture of our adorable puppy with Santa. This year with our new addition to the family I plan to pick a card that will allow us to display more than one picture.<img src=http://www.shutterfly.com/img_/publishing/styleSwatches/ssc/stationerycard_5x5/STATIONERYCARD_5x5-31046-2340-MERCHLARGE_FRONT-v1281031056000149952.jpg height=50% width=50% align=left> Right now I am loving this card from the Flat Stationary card selection. It is the <a href=http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/cards-stationery/classic-red-square-christmas-card?sortType=1&storeNode=93479&fe=16 >5x5 classic red square Christmas card. </a> I love the modern square shape and the simplicity in the design. I want people to be looking at the pictures of our adorable son and I know that with <a href= http://www.shutterfly.com/>Shutterfly</a> quality printing the pictures will come out looking great. I like knowing that when we use a photo card from <a href= http://www.shutterfly.com/>Shutterfly</a> people will take notice of the cards we send and enjoy them for more than just the holiday season. My grandmother hangs them on her fridge to enjoy our pictures year round. Having a great card to send to friends and family makes paying the forty-four cents worth it, especially for a frugal family like ours. <br />It is super easy to make your own <a href= http://www.shutterfly.com/>Shutterfly</a> holiday card or photo book to use this holiday season.

I started out with simply wanting to make the baby Owen a hat, but after making one I wanted to just tweak the pattern a bit and before you know it I had found four more sites with hat patterns and even created a few of my own. So far Owen has two hats both I’m only semi happy with and a few others I’ll probably donate. The hats are just so easy to make and you can do a full one in about an hour.

With our first little one on the way I like the fact it kills over 99% of germs naturally, including influenza A and H1N1. Since the cleaner is natural you can use it on anything including high chairs and children’s toys, a feature we’ll be using in the near future. The disinfecting spray isn’t something Matt and I would have even though could be all natural so we would have never tried it without this opportunity. <br /><br />I also however really like what I’ve been able to read in the book. <a href=http://www.amazon.com/Conscious-Kitchen-Protect-Improve-Deliciously/dp/0307461408/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1271853834&sr=8-1>“The Conscious Kitchen” </a> by Alexandra Zissu – I’ve only had time to flip through it so far but I can tell I’ll be using this book for reference a lot in the future. She list things to buy, foods to look for and questions to ask while you’re shipping. My favorite tip so far is her advice to start small. Don’t switch out all your cleaning products right away – instead start with just one, preferably the one you use the most. And she’s right I’m not ready to swap out everything right now but I can definitely start the change by buying the Seventh Generation multi surface cleaner for now on. <br /><br />So now on to the giveaway!<br /><br />There are four ways to enter and you can do so until next Thursday, April 29th at midnight. <br /><br /><b>Option 1: </b> Leave a comment answering the following question. <br />“ According to the Consumer Product safety commission how many hazardous chemical products can be found in the average American home?”<br />*Take your best guess – answers do not have to be correct<br /><br /><b>Option 2:</b> Become a fan of <a href= http://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/pages/OnOurWay/313731917637?ref=ts >OnOurWay</a> on facebook from the link <a href= http://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/pages/OnOurWay/313731917637?ref=ts >HERE</a> <br /><i>Or leave a comment letting me know you already are</i><br /><br /><b>Option 3: </b> Sign up to receive new post <a href= http://feeds.feedburner.com/Jirafaestrella-OnMyWay >via email or RSS feed </a> <br /><i> you can sign up along the left hand side of the blog – or let me know if you already receive our updates</i><br /><br /><b>Option 4: </b> Post about this giveaway somewhere and include a link back here<br />It can be a forum you visit, facebook twitter or your own blog – just make sure and leave me a link back to your post if possible. <br /><br /><br />Pick any of the four ways to enter or enter four times by doing all of them but just make sure for each entry you leave a comment with your contact info so I can contact you in case you win. <br /><br />Remember you can enter until Thursday, April 29th at midnight.

Well folks there are big changes coming for OnOurWay and the Harrison household. Yes, we’ve having a baby but there is also so much more that is going to happen. <br /><br />July 1st will be my last day of work with my current company. Matt and I have worked really hard to lower our expenses, pay off debt and save up a nice emergency fund. Since January we’ve been paying all our bills with Matt’s income and saving mine (with a few exceptions). This has allowed us to also save up enough money that we plan to purchase a new “to us” vehicle in the next few months. For some odd reason GM did not design the two door Cavalier to be car seat friendly. <br /><br />Our plan is for me to do the whole stay at home Mom thing for at least a few years (one minimum), but of course I’ll always be on the look out for ways to save/make money. I have quite a list started already. <br /><br />But like I said I also have some ideas on how to improve OnOurWay. Of course the first few months after Owen is born will be hectic but once we get things settled down I plan to spend more time enhancing things around here. There are quite a few things I’ve wanted to do for a while but with working 45+ hours I just haven’t had time…. Ok ok I’ll be honest, what time I have had has been spent making/reading/preparing for a baby. <br /><br />I do however plan to start adding many more reviews of not only local areas but lots of product reviews as well. I want to add more book reviews, ways for you earn money, and I’m expecting a lot more reader participation from you guys. <br /><br />We’ll also get ourselves back on a blogging schedule (to be announced) and I’m willing to consider any ideas for items you guys would like to see on the blog. Feel free to send them my way through email. And remember these things won’t happen all at once but there will be steady improvement.Megan http://www.blogger.com/profile/06620071723953364917noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4815120776324469813.post-56002505116963077172010-04-10T17:07:00.000-04:002010-04-10T17:08:10.539-04:00Where have I been?So I’m not going to lie or make up excuses of why I haven’t posted. All I can say is I’ve had baby brain – which is all I’ve thought about the past few weeks are babies – well mainly my baby, but I promise I’ll get better. <br /><br />In the last month Matt and I found out we’re having a boy and have even picked a name; Owen Joseph, and no we will NOT be calling him OJ. Anyway, since learning about little Owen all I can think about are baby socks, baby blankets, baby toys, the list goes on and on. <br /><br />I actually have about 5/6 post hand written out where all I need to do is type them up, but alas rather than doing that I’ve spent my evenings crocheting baby Owen a hat and matching blanket. <br /><br />Yet, I do promise to stop researching the best highchairs and safest cribs soon so I can get back to blogging. I’d do it now but I really need to finish reading every article/review on cloth diapers ever written first.Megan http://www.blogger.com/profile/06620071723953364917noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4815120776324469813.post-28898144696275032272010-03-22T08:11:00.001-04:002010-03-22T08:11:00.283-04:00Master Your Debt - Book Review<img src= http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51TESCHyrQL._BO2,204,203,200_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-click,TopRight,35,-76_AA240_SH20_OU01_.jpg align=left>Last month I was sent Jordan Goodman’s new book, <a href= http://www.amazon.com/Master-Your-Debt-Monthly-Payments/dp/0470484241/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1269205627&sr=8-1>Master Your Debt: Slash your Monthly Payments and become Debt Free</a> and asked me to review it for all the OnOurWay readers. <br /><br />I think everyone knows by now just because someone sends me something does not mean I’ll gloss over a review, so when I say I really like something it’s the truth, and I really liked <a href= http://www.amazon.com/Master-Your-Debt-Monthly-Payments/dp/0470484241/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1269205627&sr=8-1>Master Your Debt. </a><br /><br />In each chapter Goodman walks you through ways to decrease your expenses step by step. Whether you are just getting started or ready to make those final adjustments there is something for you to learn. This book is the most up to date listing of all the new policy and rule changes happening as we speak. My favorite chapters were those on the new mortgage and credit card regulations. Goodman not only shows readers how to use these programs to your advantage but also provides great resources to expand your knowledge. <br /><br />In fact those extra resources are the thing that makes <a href= http://www.amazon.com/Master-Your-Debt-Monthly-Payments/dp/0470484241/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1269205627&sr=8-1>Master Your Debt</a> unique. There are links and/or other contact information provided for just about every service Goodman writes on. <br /><br />While Matt and I don’t need to pay off any credit card debt reading this has helped us re-focus our pay off plan for the debt we do have (mortgage and student loans). Everyone, no matter where you are your financial life, can use a little refresher now and again. <br /><br />Of course the one thing that makes this book great for the reader today is the one downfall for the reader tomorrow. Goodman’s book is so up to date on current policy and programs it probably won’t be useful for most readers ten years from now. If you think you’ll want to give this book a read do it sooner rather than later.

I really wanted to share my review via vlog but with my ongoing cold and all the household drama we’ve had lately (more to come) it just wasn’t possible.<br /><br />I will say though, the new Yoplait Smoothies are great. I love all the new products Yoplait is coming out with; each and every one is an improvement over your plain yogurt options of yesteryear.<br /><br />This new product not only tastes great it’s super easy to use as well. Literally you cut open the bag, drop in the frozen mix and a cup of skim milk, then blend for 1 – 1 ½ minutes. Then enjoy your ready to eat smoothie. I tried both the Strawberry Banana and Triple Berry mixes. While both were good I will say I did preferred the Triple berry mix the most. I also love the fact that the Smoothie mixes make two servings and each serving contains one full portion of fruit.<br /><br />Don’t believe me? You should give them a shot for yourself. And if you have already tried the new Yoplait Smoothies feel free to leave a comment with how you felt about the newest product.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiszRrYmI1gUCSMk-wwTKOpiOeyYInRhAgoNWvgRGagF358-Xrf_sRE1du8v7o2b5mU3Rl95CjEjUpTBz5P4t01PCwR6Yis5nxveWm8_8wel3laymxVpqHeBsdiy8Rie0KYSn8mFaVzVxk/s1600-h/Triple+Berry+Yoplait+Smoothie+jpeg.PNG"><br /></a>Megan http://www.blogger.com/profile/06620071723953364917noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4815120776324469813.post-50922406398665398642010-03-12T20:14:00.005-05:002010-03-12T23:05:43.143-05:00Good Reads - 3/12/10Here are the good reads for the week. <br />Also if you're a <a href=http://www.facebook.com/pages/OnOurWay/313731917637>facebook</a> fan of <a href=http://www.facebook.com/pages/OnOurWay/313731917637>OnOurWay</a> you've already learned about lots of different coupons and deals that didn't make it in to today's run down. <a href=http://www.facebook.com/pages/OnOurWay/313731917637>Click Here to sign up as a fan now. </a><br /><br />Lots of craft stuff this week<br /><br /><a href=http://blog.craftzine.com/archive/2010/03/craft_pattern_crocheted_revers.html>How to make a reversible swiffer sock</a> from craftzine.com - <i>What a great way to save on buying those expensive refills. </i><br /><br />Learn the ins and outs of <a href=http://gingerbreadsnowflakes.com/node/158> using kool-aid to color Easter Eggs</a> at Gingerbread Snowflakes<br /><br /><a href=http://www.purlbee.com/fuzzy-easter-chicks-mini-eggs/> Fuzzy knitted Easter Chicks</a> from the Purlbee.com - <i>I love this site</i> <br /><br />A great article from The Simple Dollar <a href=http://www.thesimpledollar.com/2010/03/09/mortgage-half-payments-how-much-do-they-save/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+thesimpledollar+%28The+Simple+Dollar%29> How much do Half Mortgage payments really save</a> also make sure to read the article <a href=http://www.thesimpledollar.com/2010/03/08/the-cult-of-the-new/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+thesimpledollar+%28The+Simple+Dollar%29>Cult of the new</a><br /><br />Check out these amazing <a href=http://www.makeandtakes.com/handmade-plantable-greeting-card?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+allaboutthemakeandtakes+%28Make+and+Takes%29>greeting cards you can plant</a> from Makes and Takes<br /><br /><a href=http://vickiehowell.blogspot.com/2007/03/booties-go-bragh-free-pattern-of-month.html> Adorable St.Patty's day baby booties</a> from Vickie Howell<br /><br /><i>I also really can't wait to try these</i><a href=http://heavenlyhomemakers.com/mini-apple-pies-a-part-of-this-complete-breakfast> Mini Apple Pies</a>Megan http://www.blogger.com/profile/06620071723953364917noreply@blogger.com0
