American Express Prepaid Card : Great for Budgeting, Travel, Kids & More!

Years (and years… I won’t say how many) ago my husband and I would always stop by our bank to pick up Travelers Checks for our vacations/travels. We didn’t have a debit card then or a credit card we wanted to use and cash was just a little too risky. What if we lost it, misplaced it or, heaven forbid, were robbed?  American Express now has a prepaid card that is easily reloadable and perfect for traveling and more. I know we aren’t the … [Read more...]

The day I found them I was eager (and hopeful) that they tasted as good as the “name brand”. I was pleased with the taste and the price. Years later their price and taste bring us back for more. I was contacted by Malt-o-Meal and asked if I would try … [Read more...]

The Big Bang Theory Season 4 on DVD : It’s All Fun and Games

The guys on 'The Big Bang Theory' have a very fun and playful work dynamic, often joking around with each other and playing games. Because they work at CalTech, most of their jokes revolve around astrophysics and Wolowitz's lack of a PhD! My current “work environment” exists in my home. BUT, I spend a good bit of time chatting online with fellow bloggers during the day. We poke fun at each other, laugh at each other’s current predicaments with … [Read more...]

They are comfortable for him, they have been  awarded the American Podiatric Medical … [Read more...]
