My wife and I are still using the same bedroom furniture we bought when we got married. It is serviceable, but we really do need to update to something more permanent. We have been looking around to see what is available that wonÂ’t break the bank. After all, we want a bedroom that will be especially comfortable, given her medical issues, and a change of scenery is also important to us, trying to make the place just a bit more stylish in the hopes of giving it a little more hominess. We at least need to consider new Headboards for the two bedrooms with beds in them.

Among other places, I've been looking at the Fashion Bed Group sets online at Home and Bedroom and have found some inexpensively priced groups that would help give our home a new feel. They are beautiful, good quality and within our budget! There are several that would be great in our bedroom, including one with a sleigh bed like my wife has always wanted.

I also looked at a couple of the daybeds from Hillsdale Furniture that are featured on the website. We have an extra bedroom we could turn into a sitting room/television room right next to our bedroom, and it would be good for visitors -- or for me for those nights when she either cannot sleep or needs to not have me shaking the bed.

Have I found the perfect furniture solution yet? No – but I’ll keep on looking.

My wife is an absolute fanatic about greeting cards -- both the physical ones and the sort that get sent online. She particularly loves the online cards by Jacquie Martin, because they are beautiful, intricate, and different. Indeed, she got excited a couple of years ago when she saw her first one, sent by a friend. It was a beautiful Christmas scene -- this one, in fact.

Over the years, E-Cards from JacquieLawson.com have become internet classics. For only $10 a year, you can get access to all her cards and send them to friends and family to show them how much you care. After all, these cards really are the very best.

Looking for a Mexican vacation get-away? IÂ’ve got an idea for you. Imagine a place overlooking the Sea of Cortez, sucking up the sunÂ’s rays in Sonora.

Places like that are the specialty of the folks at Oceano-Rentals.com, where you can book your very own Rocky Point condo rental with luxury beach-front accommodations.

Think about it -- a beautiful Santa Fe style house with every amenity. They have it. Or maybe a townhouse near the beach. You can get it. Or perhaps a condo with an ocean view. You can reserve it right now.

And even better, you are dealing with a US-based company when you make arrangements with all transactions conducted in American funds, so there is no worry about exchange rates. You can pick up your keys at their American office and continue your driving to Mexico -- it is right on your way through Arizona, only an hour from the border.

You can find some great online deals with big companies. Such deals can really leave you with extra cash in your pocket if you shop around, especially if you make use of online coupons and discount codes to make your dollar stretch even farther.

Of course, there are some businesses that I have no problem using online. For example, I think that ProFlowers.com would be quite capable of delivering their current featured coupon item without too much difficulty, and with good quality control. IÂ’m quite certain that if I use ProFlowers coupons I will get a great product that the person receiving them and I will be happy with. I've never been disappointed with ProFlowers.com -- and the only time I had a problem, they sent my mom a superior replacement item to my mother.

Similarly, clothing items are usually safe to purchase if they come from a big company that you know. My wife likes to buy from certain stores that she knows, because she knows how their clothes fit. For her, Lillian Vernon coupons help her expand her wardrobe at a bargain price.

In the end, of course, it comes down to finding companies that you know are reputable and have a quality product – just like when you deal with the brick and mortar stores.
