Walgreens & Express Scripts Dilemma
This post brought to you by Walgreens. All opinions are 100% mine. I use Walgreens for our family prescriptions so I immediately noticed the offer to share this information with my readers so I started reading up on the problems between Walgreens and Express Scripts, and I’m amazed. Background In Case You Are Clueless Like I Was Over the last year, Walgreens and Express Scripts have been under negotiations to renew their contract permitting Walgreens to be an approved pharmacy for those with insurance through Express Scripts. As of December 31, there was no contract, and the previous contract had expired leaving many (including military families) without the ability to use Walgreens as they may have for a long time for their family’s prescriptions. The new plan will require Express Scripts customers to … Read entire article »

Energizer has just the solution to help you get a jump start on the holidays — batteries for the gifts and a free online movie on demand rental to help with the relaxation. Simply purchase a package of specially-marked … Read entire article »

Holiday Recommendation: Build A Bear Pets or Gift Cards
Every year I think my daughter might have outgrown Build A Bear, but every year she still loves them (and I have to admit this makes me happy). So every year she gets a trip to Build A Bear for her birthday, and Santa usually leaves her a gift card for Christmas so she can plan her own trip some other time during the year. Some trips she chooses to just buy new clothes and … Read entire article »

Holiday Recommendation: Hickory Farms Gift Baskets
When my brother was serving overseas, I was introduced to ordering gift baskets through Hickory Farms to send to troop members as they have special packages that offer free shipping to APO and FPO addresses. Since discovering that, I have been happy to make a purchase through Hickory Farms when I get the chance. Additionally, this year: This holiday, for every signature Party Planner gift sold, Hickory Farms will donate $5 to the No Kid Hungry Campaign. Each … Read entire article »

Love in a Nutshell
One of my favorite authors of all time is Janet Evanovich. I think I’ve read everything she’s written. If not, I’ve read everything I’ve had the chance to get my hands on – some of them I’ve read more than once. On January 3, she has a new book, Love in a Nutshell, coming out that she cowrote with Dorien Kelly. The book will also be available in audio format where it is read by Lorelei … Read entire article »

Hot Tot Detangler = AWESOME
Even though Cameron is getting older (11 now – can you believe it?), we still have to use detangler regularly. Her hair is really fine and really long and it is always full of tangles. We’ve used a lot of different products over the years, but it’s hard to find something that effectively removes the tangles but doesn’t leave the hair with a residue or greasy feeling. When I received a few samples of the Hot … Read entire article »

Happy Birthday To Me
This month I am celebrating number 32, and I feel every year of it most days. There are certain traditions that go with birthdays in our family. My grandmother makes the birthday cakes, and we always go out to eat. The birthday boy/girl gets to pick the location. My daughter chose Golden Corral this year and Ihop last year. I share my birthday with my brother (one day apart) so this is his year to choose. Additionally, we don’t exchange many gifts and stick to cash and gift cards as we have all realized just how much junk we have and that we don’t need more (well of course except for the kids). This year I have to work on my birthday. But it is the last day … Read entire article »

Holiday Recommendation: Endangerables CD
I have to admit that I did a good job when teaching my daughter that we don’t always have to eat at the fast food restaurants where you get a toy. There are times when she really wants a particular toy, but for the most part she’ll choose what I call “real” restaurants when given a choice where you sit down and are given a menu to select from. One of her favorite places to eat … Read entire article »

Kitchen Remodeling
I am taking advantage of this Christmas beak and working on my kitchen. We have stopped the faucet from leaking (thank goodness because that drip, drop drives me crazy). Tomorrow we are pulling out the refrigerator to replace it, and I plan on doing some major scrubbing while that is out of the way (it’s always so nasty behind a refrigerator). And then next week I will look at our food. I bought a lot of foods for survival over the past 5 or 6 years we we’ve been threatened with hurricanes, but I need to clean out some of it as I don’t have room for new groceries. I bought a lot of food freeze dried to make sure that if we were without water and/or electricity for long … Read entire article »

Unique Stocking Stuffer: Teas’ Tea
I like unique and different items in stockings. There’s always the small gift or two and some fruit and candy, but there has to be something that no one is expecting. This year it will be a bottle of Teas’ Tea. My girls love tea (I won’t list how many gallons we go through a week – YIKES!) Teas’ Tea is a great series of flavored teas. I love their Country Peach Black tea, and my … Read entire article »
