My oldest and I set off to the local Family Dollar to see how far we could stretch a $50 gift card. I wasn’t sure what to expect … [Read more...]

I’ll admit it… even with the best of intentions and planning, I almost always regret some of the food I partake in at holiday gatherings. One cookie usually leads to another… and I can’t seem to pick just one type of pie so I will have a 1/2 slice of each. Let’s not get into the candies, drinks, peppermint bark, chocolate covered pretzels, salty snacks… oh oh! puppy chow *insert drool here*. I already have an upset stomach and I … [Read more...]

Samsung Focus Flash Windows Phone Review [CLOSED Giveaway]
by
I am an admitted smartphone junkie. I’ve only had one for about three months, but now I wonder how I functioned beforehand. I now have the freedom to “cut the cord” (leave the computer) and still be able to check in on my email for a minute, see if anything important popped up on Facebook, check for DMs on Twitter and anything else that pops into my mind while still being able to go to the park with the kids, or anywhere for that matter. I … [Read more...]
