Ever Save

I am a sucker for any savings I can get.  I have found Eversave as one of my favorite go to deals of the day sites.  Jasmere is still my favorite for national deals but for local deals I think Eversave has the best deals.

Need a Chilis break

Sign up at Chilis for free Queso.  In California no one at Mexican restaurants seems to know about real midwest Queso so Chilis gets my business.

Fundraiser for Irene Victims.

Help Irene victims

It seems like every time there is a natural disaster in this country the media and govt focus on it for a few days then it is on to the next big thing and the victims are left to their own devices.  I have a real problem with that.  It is not in the first few days that the victims need our help it is in the months after when the cameras have left that people need to be remembered.

I applaud The Orange Owl for doing this fundraiser.  We need to let vicitms of this disaster know they are not forgotten and that fellow Americans have their backs.

One of my best friends Anna is among over 20 artists who are donating their crafts to this wonderful fundraiser.  There will be a list up later to day at the Blog with all of the artists.

Help out and get your raffle ticket for 10.00 I know I will be getting mine.

Jasmere/SCOUT/WINNING

Yes I love Jasmere, Yes I love bags.  Yes I love sales.  Yes I love 20% off.  Today is my day at Jasmere.  They are featuring Scout my favorite go to company for bags for EVERYTHING.  Do you know the deal you can get today?  Use this link to register if you have never been to Jasmere before (really after all of my shouting from the roof tops about it how could you not have registered?)

I also learned something new this weekend.  If there are several live deals - like right now the oranges and the cleaning supplies and the Scout Flexi Voucher  you can get them ALL with the 20% discount.  WINNING!!!!!! What could be better than 2 or 3 awesome deals with 20% off of all of it?  I am getting oranges to send to family in the midwest for Christmas.  Glad they dont' read my blog.

Teachers and Starbucks

Back in the days, it was an apple to welcome teachers back to school. However, this year, its a cup of Starbucks Coffee~  In recognition of teachers, Starbucks is offering school teachers, grades K-12 a complimentary tall cup of brewed coffee on Mondays during the month of September.  Bring in your teacher identification to any Starbucks. Thanks to all of you that have the special gift and spend so much of  your time going above and beyond for our children! Enjoy!

Where were You

Our Church kicked off a new service tonight.  It is a very laid back easy service.  Come from whatever you are doing and share your day type of service.

I remember on September 11, 2001 everyone asking where was God?  Why would a loving God let this happen to innocent people?  It is something I struggled with for quite a while.  I was new on my faith journey and had recently lost my grandfather and knew my mom might not live much longer.  It was a rough time in my life.

Here is what I wrote last year That Day  My memories of that day.

My friend Julie who led the service tonight confirmed what I felt about that day and where God was that day.

Listen to Meet me in the Stairwell.  Even if you don't believe in the same God that I do, I hope you believe that they were met with peace and love.

party planning

Any one who knows me knows I LOVE to throw a party.  I have to have lists when I am planning a party.  I am planning a non engagement open house during the holidays when Phil and Betsy are here.  I am already thinking about menus and what I am going to need to buy to hold food and decorations.  I plan way in advance so I can find things on sale in the off season.

I found a company that is making that easier.  THEME PARTY QUEEN They have put together checklists to plan recipes, grocery lists, when to prep recipes, extra things to buy list and where you plan to put them in the party area.

Check out Theme Party Queen and make your party planning easier.
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

amazing few days

We have had such wonderful weekend with one day to go.  My pseudo parents Peg and Allan Hazlett have been visiting. Last night we took them to our favorite Korean restaurant.  We are so much we waddled out.  We love the ability to cook on the table grill and share family time.  It is our "special Occasion" go to place.  I think the next time we will be there is when Phil and Betsy and our former Korean exchange student, Hae "Aaron" Chung are all here for Christmas.

Today we took them on a tour of the orginal gold rush area.  We were in the Sierra Nevada foothils.  We wanted to go to the outlet mall in Folsom on the way back but there was no parking and the lot was fuller than "a Superbowl Sunday" so instead we came home and took naps.  For dinner? We headed to TOPS Yogart and ran in to homeschool friends.

Tomorrow Scott has to work - everyone one say "POOR SCOTT" Drew is cutting class - every one say "POOR DREW"  and we are doing the one thing Drew wanted to do while Grandma Peggy and Grandpa Allan were here.  We are going to the Jelly Belly Factory.  We will take the regular tour and then sample popular flavors like Diaper wipe, grass and vomit flavored Jelly Bellys.

Tomorrow in the late afternoon we will end their visit with a trip to SQUEEZE INN. It is a Sacramento landmark that has been featured on Diners Dives and Drive Ins.  We take all visitors there for one meal when they visit.  Make sure you visit the website and check out the pictures of the burgers with their cheese skirts.  I get mine with mushrooms and sour cream.  If I am going to blow it I am going to blow it right!!!!

They leave Wed morning to head for Carmel for a wedding.  The next time we get to see them is when we head to Kansas next summer for our son's wedding which Allan will officiate at. I love their visits and they are too few and far between.

Next time old town sac and the train museum will be on the agenda.

Amazon give a way.

I promised that once I had 200 fans I would give away a 5.00 Amazon gift card.  Since I have not been approved by Rafflecopter yet I have to do this by hand.  AHH the joys of a new job.

So here is the deal.  I will use Random.org to get my winner but you have to leave a comment as to when you start Christmas shopping.  Me? I start in July. You also have to be a fan of my FB page.  Contest ends September 12, 2011 at 11:59 PM Pacific time.

Ready go.
