Girl Scout Cookies - Copy Cat Recipes!

noreply@blogger.com (Heather) — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 15:42:00 +0000

There's only one think I don't like about Girl Scout Cookies... They're only available once each year! So not fair! I don't think I've ever met a Girl Scout Cookie I didn't love. :) Now I just came across this ebook of copycat recipes (from All Free Copy Cat Recipes.com) for them and I can make all my favorites at home any time of year, whenever I get a craving for my Thin Mints and Samoas! Woot! ~ (Click the image below, then enter your email. This will send the ebook to your inbox.) I cannot wait to try all of these!

Meal Planning Saves Money

noreply@blogger.com (Heather) — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 23:48:00 +0000

Simple concept, but it works. Get organized and plan your meals in advance and you'll save money. How many busy nights as you're taxi-ing kids from school to sports practice have you said, "I don't have time to think about dinner, much less actually make it!"? I do it, probably too often. Food on the Table makes it easier for someone as unorganized as myself to make this possible. Better planning equals less stress on me, and a happily fed family in my house. Check it out by clicking below. Sign up and check it out. Do you like the concept? Do you think it will work for your family? Let me know!

Facebook is Hiding your Messages!

noreply@blogger.com (Heather) — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 15:17:00 +0000

Recently I have messaged a couple of people on facebook and not gotten a response. Surely all of these people weren't ignoring me. Then I joined a barter/swap group on facebook and had people posting that they had messaged me, only I never received a message from them. Weird. When I came across this article (<--- Click the link!!!), it all became clear. I read the article and followed the instructions and found I had close to 100 unread messages going all the way back to 2009 that I had never seen! Check yours and repost the link so we can educate all of our facebook friends and no one will think they are being ignored. :)

Thank you to Erika at Redhead Writing for sharing this info!

I Watch The Tonight Show With Jay Leno

noreply@blogger.com (Heather) — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 16:59:00 +0000

I Watch The Tonight Show With Jay Leno

Written by Fermin Washington

I never miss The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and I enjoy the interviews that he has with celebrities, politicians and musicians.

I like his added segments such as headlines. It is so crazy the misprints and simple misunderstandings that newspapers, menus and want ads print. I was always going to take a picture of a sign not to far from my house that said Dead End and with a cemetery located just behind it. I never have because it doesn't quite fit into the headline theme, but I thought Jay would find it funny.

I have enjoyed a new segment involving a free photo booth at Universal Studios. When unsuspecting people enter the booth it talks to them at first professionally with phrases such as “Please be seated.” Then the photo booth voice will ask them to do silly things or respond when they speak, surprising them.

Jay often has people on the show that I am entertained by or admire and I enjoy the information that he is able to extract from them. They always seem to like speaking with Jay and I like how personable he is with them.

I watch The Tonight Show on my satellite TV from http://www.cannonsatellite.com/ and sometimes I record it so that I can watch it the next day. I have old moments and need to go to bed early some nights.

Do you FourSquare?

noreply@blogger.com (Heather) — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 14:51:00 +0000

The image above is my FourSquare badge for checking in to over 1,000 places! If you have have an iphone, a blackberry, Palm or an android phone, you should be using FourSquare! FourSquare is an social networking app that you and your friends use to "check-in" to places you visit. From the grocery store, to the gas station, from restaurants to the movie theater, you can check-in any and every where.

Why would you wanna do this? Well, for one, its a great way for you and your pals to see where each other is going, what interests you all have. Say you check into your favorite hole-in-the-wall restaurant and share your check in with your friends. Now that place might just become their favorite new hole-in-the-wall eatery too!

Another reason - badges! You earn badges for various check-in accomplishments. Its fun to collect all of the different badges and see which badges your friends are able to collect too.

And the best reason - for the SAVINGS! Some places offer "Specials" when you check into their location. Here's an example from my local Walmart gas station, Murphy USA:

So just for checking in to this location, I got a FREE Energy Shot. This is their 3rd special I've taken advantage of. The first Special I got was $5 off a $30 gas purchase! The 2nd freebie I got was a FREE Energy Drink. These are just examples of the neat stuff you can get from places you visit. Other National companies I've seen run Specials on FourSquare are Chili's restaurants, McDonald's and Jackson Hewitt Tax Service. Small companies can also post Specials for their customers. Even my local Avon (makeup) store has a FourSquare special too!
