Wholesome Nutrition in NEW Quaker Soft Baked Bars

This post brought to you by Quaker Oats. All opinions are 100% mine.

NEW Quaker Soft Baked Bars help provide the FUEL you need with the FLAVOR you want! This new snack bar from Quaker is made with real fruits and nuts that you can eat on-the-go OR warm up in the microwave for a real bakery experience. I also like to put them in the oven.This great snack can get you through until your next meal and comes in two delicious flavors:
• Cinnamon Pecan Bread
• Banana Nut Bread

These treats aren't just tasty, but are packed with:
• 140 calories
• 5g of Fiber
• 6g of Protein
• Excellent source of 5 B-Vitamins

We like the Quaker Soft Baked Bars for a quick after breakfast snack . These are perfect for when the girls are taking a break from school. We love the banana nut bread. It's made with REAL bananas and almonds.  It's good wholesome food I don't mind my girls eating!  I also like to pack them for snacks while we are out. I don't have to be tempted by fast food and it helps me stay on track with my weight.

It also has fiber in it which is always a plus especially to sneak the kids extra nutrition.

I need another laptop!

As a blogger I have to say I go through a lot of computers. I have computers for different things too. One for graphics, one for the girls' school work and to blog from. I also have a laptop so I can blog while I sit with the family. I recently got my laptop and I'm not incredibly happy with it. I thought I wanted something small but I do soooo much work on it I wish I would have gotten something bigger.

I do a lot of work from my phone too when I'm out and about but if that isn't slow, annoying, and bad for my eyes I don't know what it! I need another laptop, one that is BIGGER!!!.

I have two Dell tower desk tops and will probably get another Dell for my laptop. I've been searching laptops for sale online to find the exact one I want and to compare prices. I know I want a larger screen and probably get something cute like a fun red or green color. Then I can pass my other laptop down to the kiddos it's the perfect size for them. Thankfully when I get another laptop it will be a write off for my business!

We've actually been a rather lo-tech family until recently. Now we have several computers, kindles, and fancy phones. It’s a necessity for us now with my business and it has helped my husband’s business too. How many computers do you have?

The Benefits of Online Tutoring

If your child is struggling with schoolwork, it can be frustrating for both of you. When you know the answer, but can't quite explain how to get it... or maybe when you don't know the answer, because school was easier when we were kids, a tutor can help. The problem with finding a tutor that is local to you, though, is that unless you live in a major city, you might have a hard time. Then, coordinating your schedule with the tutor's schedule, and making sure their personality will match with your child's - well, it can be difficult, to say the least.

The benefits of online tutoring are plentiful. With online tutoring, not only do you have access to more tutors than you could imagine, you also get a transcript of your tutoring session so you can look back on them like you would notes from a class. During a face to face tutoring session, it can be hard to take proper notes - and even harder to remember everything your tutor said!

Why pay high fees to a face to face tutor when you can get one online for a fraction of the cost? Need a term paper reviewed? Send it to your tutor via email and get feedback quicker than you could schedule a tutoring session with a tutor in your town!

When I go to Chili's the girls usually split the turkey sandwich and soup or get a burger to split. I get one of their HUGE salads or sometimes a wrap. No matter what I get it'll be good. Anything I eat will go good with the CoronaRita! Jason loves his steaks, always rare. It's a great places to take the family and the desserts are big enough for us to split.

Feeding America - Fight Hunger

This post brought to you by The Walmart Foundation. All opinions are 100% mine.

The county I live in has a HUGE unemployment rate and more than 50 Million Americans don't know where their next meal will come from. Many in my own town!

Springtime traditionally brings a decrease in food and charitable donations to food banks around the country. One of the principal causes of hunger is unemployment.

To Help bridge the Spring hunger gap, Walmart is working with Feeding America and four of the most recognizable food brands in America- ConAgra, General Mills, Kraft and Kellogg's - in a nationwide Fighting Hunger Together initiative from Monday, April 9 through April 30. Consumers can join the fight against hunger in-store or through Facebook.

Vote: Between April 9th and April 30th Walmart will be hosting a Facebook campaign where fans can rally support for communities in need of hunger relief. Vote among 200 communities with the highest unemployment rate as determined by a Department of Labor Report (found here: http://bit.ly/H1yxFK). My town is FEATURED at 15.5% How awful is that?

Walmart will donate a total of $2 million to the 21 communities receiving the most support: $1 million to the winner and $50,000 each to the 20 runners-up. Winning communities will be announced May 1st.

Vote to fight spring hunger with Walmart 

The Fighting Hunger Together initiative is expected to generate 43 million meals for families in need.

CafeWell, a Social Network to Get Well and Stay Well

This post brought to you by CafeWell. All opinions are 100% mine.

Have you heard of CafeWell? It's, a Social Network to Get Well and Stay Well, partners with large health plans like Altius and together, provides their members with great health programs, like Reach for the Peaks, where members participate on CaféWell in a wireless pedometer program that focuses on helping members become and stay more active.

CafeWell is bridging the gap between health plans and the member to help educate on healthcare and improve member perception of their health plan, by providing a fun, safe, and anonymous environment to improve their health. A program, such as Reach for the Peaks encourages activity and includes regular prizes and social acknowledgements to insured members.

They provides free advice, tips, and motivation from Olympic athletes, Health and Wellness, Diet and Nutrition Experts to support users with questions and join in all the challenges the program provides.

"I never thought that I was competitive before.  Now I am counting steps and enjoying seeing them add up.  My husband was actually teasing me a little and telling me that I was competitive after all… It has been fun to encourage each other to get more steps in each day.  It is also fun to see the medals add up.  I don't know whose idea it was to get this program started, but it was a great one.  I sure hope everyone else is enjoying this health competition to get healthy!"

"So today I am taking a step forward to get off the couch and become healthy.  I am overweight, underpaid and not so full of energy!  I know if I think I can, I CAN!  AND I WILL!"

"I'm absolutely thrilled with this motivating program."

Personally, I need help. I need to have those around me to encourage me otherwise I won't work out and I slip into old habits. That's what I love about CafeWell, you have your peers to cheer you on.

Are you trying to lose weight or be healthy? Would you join a group like CafeWell?

MIRACLE‐GRO® EXPAND ‘N GRO TM CONCENTRATED PLANTING MIX

This post brought to you by Scotts®. All opinions are 100% mine.

] My regular readers know we own a landscaping business. I do NOT have a green Thumb but my husband is A-MA-ZING with plants. I just water them all so they keep growing. We make our own compost and our own potting mix. My husband takes a lot of different components like organic matter, compost, and other things to make it but not everyone can do that.

Luckily there are products like Expand ‘n Gro™ 

is specially formulated to help you get big, beautiful results anywhere you plant – whether in‐ground or in pots. Expand ‘n Gro, the latest innovation from Miracle‐Gro, transforms any soil into an ideal growing environment for getting great results and higher yields. We actually recommend MIRACLE‐GRO® products to our customers. My husband designs vegetable beds for people too and gets them started.

He likes that Expand ‘n Gro Concentrated Planting Mix is different from basic potting and garden soils. Because it’s a unique blend of Miracle‐Gro plant food and coconut coir fiber, a compact, lightweight, easy‐to‐carry and easy‐to‐store bag of Expand ‘n Gro can do everything a big, heavy bag of soil can do, only better. This concentrated planting mix expands up to 3 times when mixed with water, feeds plants for up to 6 months, makes native soil more workable and retains up to 50% more moisture than basic potting soil.

Some of the KEY BENEFITS OF EXPAND ‘N GROTM PLANTING MIX: MOISTURE CONTROL & BULK DENSITY
In pots or in‐ground, the absorbent coir fibers help ensure that water is used efficiently. Expand ‘n Gro retains up to 50% more moisture than basic potting soils and then releases water as plants need it, to help prevent over or under watering. Since moisture and nutrients must be able to reach plant roots, proper air space and circulation in soil is critical for plant health. Tilling this planting mix into native soil can reduce the soil’s bulk density – making it up to 40% lighter, and creating up to 90% more air space. The result is more workable native soil with better water holding ability, moisture distribution, and drainage, all of which ultimately creates an improved rooting environment for plants.

Do you love to garden? Grow tomatoes on your patio? We're getting a bag of this to try and are going to use it in our self watering totes to grow tomatoes (Yes there will be a post soon showing you exactly how to do this!)

Saving Money with Customer Service

My website hosting is up for renewal soon so I have been on the hunt for reasonably priced hosting with reliable customer care. Saving a few dollars wouldn’t be bad either.

When I look for any new services, I always try to find review sites that provide comparisons so I can find a synopsis of information all in the same place. It saves me time and energy.

WebsiteHosting.com provides all that and more. The clean uncluttered look of the site is refreshing with so many busy, flashy technology sites. I like that they are not affiliated with any hosting services. They don’t have affiliate links all over their site. The information they provide is unbiased which gives me confidence in the information they provide.

On their homepage is a table of the top 10 hosting companies with fees and ratings to easily gather information. It was able to immediately assess which hosting companies to review and which weren’t going to fit my needs and budget.

The FAQ pages and resource pages have a wide range of articles that helped me in making an informed decision about what is available in web hosting today.

The section on Search Engine Optimization section was particularly interesting. I am always looking for the current information on optimizing my sites for discovery by search engines. It so important to monetizing my websites and keeping traffic up.

I was able to find just what I was looking for in a hosting site. I even got a better deal on the price of the hosting. If you are a blogger thinking about self-hosting, this site holds valuable information you will want to start with.

Theresa Grisanti has been studying and applying her understanding of health, nutrition and intuitive eating for more than 15 years. Her training at the Institiute for Integrative Nutrition, included instruction from leaders in the holistic healing field, such as Andrew Weil and Mona Lisa Schultz.

Clipix: Organize your Life {& it’s addicting :) }

There is an awesome new website that will let you clip the fun things you find online to refer to in the future. You create customized clipboards to add your clips to.  You can keep them private or share them with others. You can also add other people to your boards so they can add clips too! That way you can see what they add and they can see what you add.

This is perfect if you are planning a party with a friend! I can see where this could get very addictive. I made up a clipboard of books I want to read. I can add  the buying links and how much they are so I just click the cover when I’m ready to buy it. Clipix is pure genius!

 

It very easy to use too. You search topics like…. where you want to go on vacation or shoes.

Whatever! You choose the picture to those awesome shoes you want to buy and ‘clip it’ You save the picture and get to choose what clipboard to add it to.

Am I addicted? Umm maybe. Will I be spending a lot of time on Clipix? Definitely

Longing

I appreciate the guest post, Marian Combs
All I can do this afternoon is long for the peace and quiet that comes when all the work is done and the kids are in bed. The house takes on a whole new feel as I make my rounds, flipping off the lamps and double checking the locks on the doors. I can actually breathe for the first time today a sigh of relief.

I want to watchdirect tv saint petersburg from the comfort of my bed with the covers pulled tight around me. It has been an extremely long day and nothing will bring me more satisfaction than bringing it to a close with one of my favorite shows on my DVR. How did I ever live without this little device?

Technology certainly makes me wonder that very question often. My cell phone alone is a work of art filled with everything that makes my days go smoothly so that I can lie down at night and relax. With all the excitement of the day, I know sleep will find me easily tonight, right after a little Travel Channel.

Walgreens Prescription Savings Club

This post brought to you by Walgreens. All opinions are 100% mine.

For the past year, Walgreens has negotiated with Express Scripts for a new contract to continue as part of its pharmacy provider network. Those negotiations were unsuccessful, and the contract expired on Dec. 31. As a result, Walgreens is no longer part of Express Scripts’ pharmacy provider network as of Jan. 1, 2012. This includes all Walgreens pharmacies nationwide and Duane Reade pharmacies in the New York City area.

Walgreens and Express Script  worked hard with negotiations. Walgreens offered to hold rates for a new contract flat and did not seek an increase in rates. The response from Express Scripts was to insist on being able to unilaterally define contract terms, such as what does and does not constitute a brand and generic drug. Express Scripts also proposed to slash Walgreens reimbursement rates to levels below the industry average cost to provide each prescription.

One of Express Scripts’ clients is Tricare, which is the health and prescription drug program for America’s military service men and women. During negotiations, Walgreens took the unprecedented step of offering Express Scripts an ironclad guarantee that Walgreens prices would match or beat the average costs per adjusted prescription of all other pharmacies in the Tricare network.  Walgreens did this in an effort to prevent our country’s military personnel from being caught in the middle.

Walgreens also offered to contract separately with Express Scripts for Tricare from other Express Scripts commercial business, but these offers were rejected. Express Scripts continues to refuse to negotiate a separate contract for the benefit of the Tricare program and its beneficiariesm and are putting military families in the middle.

Many patients under an Express Scripts plan have used Walgreens pharmacies for years and have a personal relationship with their Walgreens pharmacist. In an effort to minimize their disruption and inconvenience, Walgreens unveiled a comprehensive national effort to make this transition as smooth as possible and is doing all it can to help patients continue to use Walgreens when possible, or take care of them as they are forced to leave Walgreens in order to use their in-network coverage.

Walgreens has a Walgreens Prescription Savings Club   They are all about their customers and right now an individual can join during a special January promotion for only $5, or $10 for a family membership, and receive savings on more than 8,000 brand name and all generic medications. More than 400 generics are available with a three-month supply for less than $1 a week. Regular annual membership is $20 for an individual and $35 for a family.

Friday Night Lights

I grew up in a small town. There wasn't much to do but get in trouble or go to high school foot ball games. Now I live close to our local highschool and on Friday nights we hear the band playing and the crowd cheering.


It always brings back fond memories of hot dogs and cold aluminum bleachers. My butt gets cold thinking of it on the aluminum bleacher but I remember the letterman jacket I use to wear to make me warm. Good times.

Even though we home school our kids and probably will through out high school we plan on taking them to our local foot ball games. It's a fun past time! Do you go to highschool football games?

My brother and his family came for a visit from Washington, D.C. He had some business to attend to here and decided to bring the whole family. He and his wife have one seven year old daughter and triplet four year old sons! We always have so much fun when they come, but what energy those boys have. They were here for a week, and every day we would try to go somewhere different to keep all the kids entertained. One day we went to a children’s museum downtown and that kept them busy for about three hours. Another day we went to the zoo, and I spent a lot of time answering their questions like I was some kind of expert. They didn’t know the difference. That is what is so wonderful about young children. You get to tell them all kind of things, and they think you are some kind of cool genius. But when we would get home in the late afternoons, I would have to find something for them to do while their mom and I cooked dinner. Thank goodness for our satellite tv. They could always find some funny show on The Disney Channel or Nick, Jr. to occupy them for long enough for me to get dinner on the table. The week went by so fast, and I am pretty sure I am going to need a vacation to get over their visit.
