Earlier this year I mentioned the Build-A-Bear Workshop® Huggable Heroes® program that recognizes young leaders making positive contributions in their communities and around the world.

Tropicana, The Rain Forest, and Me

Alyson the 3Ps Mama — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 09:10:12 +0000

As I mentioned before I’m a Juicy Insider for Tropicana, the fab orange juice brand. I now have points building up {have you registered yet?} I decided to put them to use–in redeeming a reward. I will likely be more selfish and use my rewards strictly for me in the future but for now, I thought I would be a little altruistic. So for my first reward I saved 100 sq feet of the rain forest. You know me, preserving our World and the wonders that are in it ...

Of course, P2 and her sisters love and adore Betty Crocker’s Fruit Flavored ...

When you are waiting for your precious child, it can seem like forever and as we all know, money does not grow on trees. Most adoptive families get very, very creative in ways to save, find and/or make the money they will need for the expenses that just normally accrue with the adoption of a child. In our case, we held some awesome garage sales, saved, and incurred some debt. We were incredibly blessed by the kindness and generosity of others and will be forever grateful. Listed here are some of ...
