I was browsing my usual group of RSS feeds and I came across some references to Vocal Point coupons that I never received. I thought I would go onto the site and see if there was a list of coupons they are giving out or anything like that, no such luck. I did however decide [...]

Today I decided to cook  Turkey Macaroni Casserole, a dish I found on Carries Cooking. Should be interesting.

As I mentioned before upon realizing that this blog has been running for over a year now, I made up my mind to make this next year even better! More organization with my original segments, as well as just more posting in general.

I recently became a Bzz agent. It’s a pretty cool gig from what I can tell. You have the opportunity to try out new products, sometimes before other people and sometimes with just a few extra benefits and access than other people get.
 A few weeks ago I signed up to try out Game Wave. As [...]

I’ve already started moving my posts, but we all know how time consuming moving can be.  My more recent posts were moved first so at first glance things should look [...]

Well if you haven’t gotten on the band wagon in terms of getting reusable grocery bags yet, here’s your chance! The following are all different places where you can get yourself a reusable grocery or shopping tote, as well as a reusable lunch bag (I didn’t even know those existed!). Most of these come [...]
