Do you have Lead in your apartment?

6:33 PM  , , , ,  


If you have lead in your apartment, this is something that you need to get fixed right away. Do not delay.

Lead could lead to major health complications.

Want to learn more about lead, visit The USA Environmental Protection Agency

Here are additional links from EPA:

Learn about lead
Where it is found
How you can be exposed
Lower your chances of exposure to lead
Health effects
Enforcing laws and regulations
Protecting children and adults from lead poisoning
Addressing lead at Superfund sites
Contractors must be lead-safe certified
It's easy to get your child tested
You can make your home lead-safe
Landlords and property sellers must disclose information on lead-based paint hazards
Lead can enter your drinking water through your pipes
Parents and families
Hire a lead safe certified firm
Lead Free Kids Campaign
Pregnant women and nursing mothers
Do-it-yourselfers
Report uncertified contractors and violations

The below pictures are actual ones from my mom's building. The inside of the apartment also had lead. 








We then had further issues with the landlord because the contractor they were using did not properly secure the premise of their tools.

New York State Camping: Fees & Rates: Things you should know

7:02 PM  , , , ,  




The below information is from http://nysparks.com

NY State Camping Guide



Click Here for PDF files: Fees & Rates

Things you should know:

The Office of Parks, Recreation & Historic Preservation (OPRHP) operates camping areas in New York's state parks. Through the New York State Camping Reservation System, you may reserve space which will guarantee accommodations at any state camping area. Internet reservations can be made at newyorkstateparks.reserveamerica.com and phone reservations can be made by calling 1-800-456-CAMP (TTY:1-800-304-1265). While reservations are not required, they are highly recommended. You can also rent any available campsite, cabin or cottage as a "walkup" on a first-come, first-serve basis when you arrive ready to camp. Services, programs and facilities vary among campgrounds. Contact the park for current schedules.

Things you should know before you leave...

  • An adult, at least 18 years of age, (or 21) must be the permit holder and occupy the site for the full permit period.
  • Sites allow for no more than 6 people per site and 2 vehicles. A valid camping permit must be visible on all vehicles.
  • Check-in is at 3pm and check-out is by 11am. Occupants must register when they arrive.
  • Each site allows for either two (2) tents OR one (1) unit of hard wheeled camping equipment + one (1) tent.
  • If your campground allows pets please be respectful. Only 2 pets per site are permitted. Your pet must be kept on a leash at all times and the leash can be no longer than 6ft. Don't leave pets unattended and always pick up after them. Rabies certificate is required.
  • Firewood – Help protect our campgrounds and stop the spread of tree pests. If you bring firewood, burn all of it before leaving your campsite or purchase your wood at the campground or local sources. For more information;http://www.dec.ny.gov/animals/7253.html and http://www.dec.ny.gov/animals/28722.html.
  • Alcoholic Beverages - While alcoholic beverages are allowed in most NYS campgrounds without a permit, it is the responsibility of each camping party to comply with all laws and regulations. Stony Brook State Park, Wildwood State Park and Beaver Pond Campground restrict the use of alcohol and require a permit.
  • Upon discovering that a campsite or cabin occupant is a registered Level 2 or Level 3 sex offender, the Office is authorized to direct the occupant to leave the campground and may revoke the camping permit.

Things you should know when you get there...

  • Please do not injure the trees. No nails, screws, ropes or lines are permitted to be tied or inserted into trees, shrubs or other structures.
  • Quiet Hours: Your group must be quiet enough not to disturb your closest neighbor from 10 pm to 7am.
  • Generator Hours are 9am to 11am and 5pm to 9pm. If the use of a generator is deemed unreasonably loud by the facility staff, an individual's use of the generator may be limited and/or prohibited.
  • Fires must be contained in designated areas and always supervised by an adult.
  • Wash dishes at your campsite or in designated areas only. Dispose of gray water in designated areas. Water fountains are for drinking only.
  • Please keep the campground clean by keeping your campsite clean! Picnic tables and receptacle (if provided) must remain on site where you find them. Rubbish must be placed in trash bags and placed in proper receptacles. Excessive trash on campsites/cabins may result in fees charged to the permit holder.
  • Help keep the campground safe for everyone. Report any accidents/incidents immediately to park staff.
Please keep in mind that each campground may have its own specific rules in addition to the above.

Cancellations

To cancel a reservation 2 days or more prior to your scheduled arrival, contact Reserve America's Customer Service at 1-800-456-2267. Internet reservations may also be cancelled on-line at newyorkstateparks.reserveamerica.com. To cancel a reservation within 1 day of your arrival you must call the campground.
If you cancel your reservation you will be assessed fees. It's important to know the closer to your arrival date you cancel, the less money you will receive back as a refund.
  • Cancelling 8 days or more prior to arrival. Fees retained are: Reservation fee $9.00 + Cancellation Fee $9.00
  • Cancelling 7 days or less prior to arrival. Fees retained are: Reservation fee $9.00 + Cancellation Fee $9.00 + the cost of the first nights stay (this amount varies based on the cost of your site).

Changes or Transfers

  • Changes can be made from 9 months to 1 day prior to first day of arrival. Any modification to an existing reservation prior to arrival is subject to a $9 change fee.

No Show

  • All fees are retained if you fail to arrive and do not inform the park of a cancellation in advance.

9th Annual Diva Moms Halloween Spooktacular @ Dylans Candy Bar!

6:39 PM  , , , , ,  



I have been a member of DIVAMOMS site for quite some time now. DIVAMOMS is my favorite mommy site because they always surprise with the variety of events, their network base seems to be never ending. Their events cover all subjects; beauty, family, finances, charity, education, bookclub, etc.

This is going to be my first time attending the 9th Annual Diva Moms Halloween Spooktacular @ Dylans Candy Bar!  
I cannot wait to attend!!! My kids are going to be super duper excited when they find out where we are going this year to celebrate Halloween. 

Now I really need to hurry up and pick up some costumes. I was thinking of making the Heirloom-Mushroom-Costume (parents.com) one for my daughter, which i think it soooo cute, but she is not very excited about the mushroom idea.

If you are going to be in NYC on Oct 31st, this will be a great event to attend, but hurry, they only have 15 tickets left.

6:35 PM  , ,  

Ebates Rebates/Rewards: Shopping and Saving

I used to be a loyal shopping at the Brick and Mortar branches of my favorite stores. Over the last couple of years my responsibility have increased, automatically decreasing my time to shop. My bargaining skills have also increased with my growing family. Shopping online enables me to save time and money.


Rebate websites has been huge. I have saved hundreds of dollars over the past 5 years. It is a great way to get discounts on items that rarely go on sale. In addition to sale prices and other coupons or coupon codes applied to your order.

The first Rebate program that I joined was Ebates.





If you are not a member click Here to join.

Background on Ebates:

The sign up process is super quick, takes less than 15 seconds to sign up, and they’ll even give you a $5 bonus *just* for signing up!

To sign up now, click HERE. It’s FREE!
Once you’re signed up it’s easy and FAST to use.
  • First go to Ebates and find the link for the store that you want to shop at. You can search by store or category.
  • Click on the link, and you’ll be directed to the store’s homepage.
  • Shop as you normally would and a few days later you’ll see the cash back show up in your account.
  • That’s it!  It’s very easy!
Four times a year (2/15, 5/15, 8/15 and 11/15), Ebates will issue you a payment with all of the cash back that you earned. 
They’ll mail you a check or deposit your money into your PayPal account…your preference. If you have a balance of at least $5.01 or more in cash back for the previous quarter, you’ll receive a payment.
