Searching for a Cheap Wireless Plan & Better Service

June 17, 2013 by Kat Leave a Comment

If there is one thing that people will recognize right away about me it is that I love new technology. I go in rages over sub par 'upgrades' that companies hand down and I rave enthusiastically about specs on new products. Generally I just like to be the first to try new things and I like to get them as cheap as possible. So when I was selected to try out a new phone AND find a new Cheap Wireless Plan I was over the moon. Don't get me wrong, I love my current phone. I just am beginning to not like my plan. They sent me this awesome LG L9 phone to try out and I love it! My husband and I have been on the same plan for a … [Read more...]

Snack Time for the Picky Kid with Del Monte #SmartSnack #CBias

November 12, 2012 by Kat 1 Comment

When I was a kid my mom used to have to make two or three dinners a night. I have three sisters and a picky, diabetic father so she had her hands full. However, lunch was whatever we could scrounge up on our own. It usually ended up being a sandwich. It is the complete opposite now that I have kids. They will eat what I cook for dinner or they don't get anything. Ok, sometimes I give in and let them have a snack but that's rare. I usually try to deal with the picky-ness at lunch. Both kids like different things so I have to work around that and trying to feed them healthy as well as the fact that I work two jobs and volunteer. So … [Read more...]

Family Fun Night with the Avengers #MarvelAvengersWMT

September 24, 2012 by Kat 5 Comments

I love the Avengers. Like seriously, I badgered everyone I have ever met about seeing the movie till they went and admitted that it was beyond awesome. I have seen it several times now and will be buying it when it comes out on DVD tomorrow, Sept 25th. I am a huge comic book fan and Avengers was always my favorite. I liked the old cartoon as well. I watched some episodes the other day and they are still amazing. I mean Marvel has been around forever and they are still coming out with amazing things. Did you know that you can follow Marvel on Twitter and Facebook to keep up with the latest on the Avengers’ activities? You should! We … [Read more...]

Skateboard Time with the Shaun White Supply Co #ShaunWhiteSupplyCo

September 19, 2012 by Kat 3 Comments

I think kids now a days are very lazy. Honestly I barely remember what my house looked like as a child but I could tell you where each tree and hiding spot in my yard was. I never went inside as a child. My older son is very into video games. He hardly ever wants to go outside. I have to practically beat him out the door. When he is out there though, he goes wild. He rides his bike, he rides his scooter, and he loves to ride his skateboard. I was ecstatic to be selected for the #ShaunWhiteSupplyCo shop because my son has been needing a new skateboard. He wore his out riding down the driveways of the neighborhood and has been complaining … [Read more...]

September 10, 2012 by Kat 3 Comments

Game night is very important in our household. We try to do it every week, sometimes twice a week if we can. It has been slacking off lately though because Baby E is at an age where he just wants to be destructive which isn't fun if he is throwing games around. It is still a family tradition.

Jingit and Box Tops 4 Education #Jingit4Edu

September 8, 2012 by Kat 5 Comments

I think everyone knows that I love Box Tops 4 Education. I have half my family collecting for Little M. His schools always do contests between the classrooms and I want him to always win. Every little bit counts for the schools especially now that money is so short. That is why it is so awesome to be able to collect more Box Tops for my son's school by using Jingit! Jingit is super easy to use. It is a free mobile app that you can make money from. They will also donate extra box tops to your choice of school. You can download the app on your phone or you can download the app online . You can even use Jingit if you don't have a … [Read more...]

Saying Thank You and Donating with Elmer’s #BagitForward

August 27, 2012 by Kat 2 Comments

School is back in session for public schools here in Alabama and it has been crazy in the stores! My mother and I usually start the school supply shopping as soon as the sales start and we continue all summer. I know that sounds crazy but we usually get everything we need for our own kids for less than $10 to $20 including bookbags so why keep going? We have a huge stockpile of school supplies that we give to members of our family and we donate to our community at the end of the summer and we start again the next year. This year I am super excited to be a part of Elmer's #BagitForward campaign to either say Thank you to a great teacher or … [Read more...]

Date Night with The Three Stooges #CouchCritics #CBias

August 19, 2012 by Kat 3 Comments

Before I had Baby E, I had plenty of people who could babysit for me because Little M was so much older. He could go to all the grandparents houses, he could go to a friend's house, he even occasionally (very occasionally) goes to his biofathers's house. However, now that I have an almost two year old, Big E and I haven't had very many chances to go out. The few times we have went out, we have invited my parents over and we have went out to dinner while they stayed home at our house with the kids or we have done the same with my sister. I don't allow Baby E to stay with other people because of his immune problem and he cant stay at my … [Read more...]
