I don’t know about you but I LOVE “Grey’s Anatomy”.  McDreamy, McSteamy, McYummy…you name it.  And I thought it was all very well counter-balanced with the presence of Dr. Addison Montgomery.  Since Addison moved to “Private Practice” it has not quite been the same watching her there but does that keep me from watching her?  Nope.  Kate Walsh  is just one dynomite actress, no matter where her character’s lives take her.
Recently Kate teamed up with hair care brand Suave® Professionals® to show America that red carpet style doesn’t …

Of course, you know that this cool site really caught my eye as it is Vampire related only this Vampire is not cute and sparkly.  This one is robbing us all blind in minuscule little ways we may not even consider . While your child (or You!) might obsess over the Twilight series or don fangs and capes for Halloween, another kind of vampire lurks year-round in your home sucking your family’s budget. With energy costs continuing to rise, wouldn’t you like to reduce your energy bill, …

With all of the doom and gloom we have been hearing and feeling as far as the economy is concerned, my eyes perked right up when I caught sight of some terrific $$ off coupons for Hasbro toys  and with the Holidays just around the corner, well, I could not help but share.

They are …

Happy birthday to me, P3!

Thanks for stopping by! If you have a …

Well Texas, it is almost time for the weekend that some of us love and some of us detest – Tax Free Weekend (TFW).  Before I had kids, I avoided Tax Free Weekend like the plague.  It just was not worth the hassles and crowds to save that 8%.
Then, once I became a Mom and quickly had 2 in diapers, and I learned that baby clothes AND diapers were exempt from sales tax too on TFW, I made a point of visiting places like Babies r Us and saving on …

The winner is #180 Rhonda Martin!
A couple of months ago Suave contacted me with a challenge regarding something they called Suavenomics. Since we are all paying extra close attention to the state of our economics here in the US, Suave wants to let everyone know that they can get great value for their dollar without sacrificing on quality.
From the website:
In 2008, Americans could have saved more than $5.5 billion by buying Suave beauty products instead of more expensive brands.
For over 70 years, the Suave brand has bottled our belief that …

Remember me telling you about Disney on Ice? Well, we got to go as well and we had a blast!  I was a little concerned about P3 getting bored or too tired – I could not have been more wrong!!  As one of the Feld Family Activators, we got to come to a special Meet & Greet with Mickey and Minnie before the show started and the girls could not have been more happily surprised.  It truly was a Magical Journey!
I have more to tell you about it but …

A couple of years ago, my mom surprised my two big girls and I and took us to see Disney on Ice when they came to Dallas.  It was fantastic and the girls LOVED every minute of it.  Disney On Ice shows get the audience totally involved – they are Disney, after all!  They feature exciting action, romance, comedy, athletic world-class skating, beloved Disney characters, and favorite Disney songs to which kids love and want to get up and dance with. The whole atmosphere creates wonderful  memories that will last …

Well, I don’t know about you but I am feeling fairly optimistic about life in general for 2009. I personally have decided to make a few changes for the better – here on the blog, in my mental and emotional well-being and in my parenting. My family has agreed to make some good changes too – taking lunch from home more often, fewer desserts, and healthier eating. Remember my post about A Month of Meals? This week we will begin following Jamie’s ideas whole-heartedly. I’ll …
