Great Buys At Kroger



Kroger has Xtra Laundry Soap for $1.88. I had 8 $1.00 coupons, so I got four of them at .88 cents each. I plan on heading back for more before the sales over.



Kroger also has the 8.2 0z Colgate Toothpaste for .98 cents and I had a .75 cent coupon, I got the toothpaste for .23 cents. I need to find some more coupons.


Who doesn't like getting stuff for practically free?

Nut Allergies

Yesterday, I was reading a note that was sent home from the school regarding their 100th day celebration. The note is asking parents to send in 100 pieces of a snack for the classroom. In the note it has suggestions of what to bring in, including nuts as one of the suggestions. My daughter has a severe allergy to nuts. I sent a note at the beginning of the year making her aware of her allergy and she has been sent the office to get medicine twice already this year, because someone was eating something with nuts in it. So, how did she forget that she was allergic to nuts? Her allergy is so severe she can't even be in the same room with someone who is eating nuts or something with peanut oil in it. I think at that point I would hang a note in the classroom saying no one can bring in anything with nuts into classroom. When she is exposed to someone eating nuts in the same room she breaks out in severe hives, she swells up, starts throwing up and begins to have difficulty breathing. It's pretty scary. I'm am always nervous with the schools and her staying anywhere. I think a lot of people don't realize someone who is allergic to nuts can have a reaction even if they are in the same room as someone eating nuts. Especially with the schools, there is the lunch room and the teacher has so many students in her classroom it's hard to pay attention to what everyone is eating.
Well, I emailed the teacher yesterday, reminding her of Sammy's nut allergy and asking her to revise the note. But, I just think this far into the year that isn't something she should be reminded of. She should have a note somewhere where she can see it of all the children who have allergies and what they are.

Dreaming Of Summer

I have a real lack of motivation today and this past week. I think the weather is really starting to get to me. I had to drag myself out of the house to go to the gym this morning. It was the first time I have been there in a week and I probably wouldn't have went if I hadn't forgot to give my son his lunch money and I was forced to leave the house to drop off his money. All this cold and snow just makes me so sleepy and want to take a nap or curl up with a blanket on the couch. I am so in need of some sunshine and warm weather. I miss seeing the flowers and trees and miss the smell of fresh cut grass. I miss being able to walk out of the house without bundling up and opening the windows for fresh air. I really hope Punxsutauney Phil is right this year and we will have an early spring.

Stirring Up The Senses

As married couples we put so much effort into everything, but our intimate relationship with our partner. We just kind of take that for granted. We put spend more time on the up keep of our cars, homes, and appearence. But, we take our relationship for granted and just assume our partner will always be there to fall back on. The divorce rate is over 50% in the United States. However, the average couple doesn't see what they are doing wrong and could be on the path to a divorce. Your partner needs your physical and emotional support just as much as you need attention and affection from your mate.
Remembering all the senses is a good way to turn up the heat in your relationship. Plan an afternoon trip to you local adult toy store or shop online together. Maximize the fun by going together. If you both go together then you both will be able to give some input on fulfilling your fantasies and choosing items both of you will be comfortable using. When planning your next encounter, think about how many of your partner's senses you can stimulate.


Taste: Champagne, chocolates, edible body paints & oils, sensual fruits that will be fun feeding each other, whip cream and the list goes on. Be creative!

Touch: When touching each other remember soft feather touches. The sensation of feeling isn’t just about touching one another. The sensation of touch is also the surfaces, such as sheets, negligees’, fuzzy rugs, soft surfaces, feathers, etc. One thing to keep in mind is; how does it feel when you touch it?

Sight: Visual stimulation is very important. Most men are visually stimulated when it comes to love making. Light some candles to provide a little soft lighting and give the room a sensual ambiance, negligees’ and a pair of stilettos, and spread some sensual toys on the bed. Have fun!!!

Smell: Scented candles or incense, where perfume, a freshly showered body is also very sensual. Scented massage oils are also very helpful in stirring up more than one of the bodies senses.

Hearing: Talk sexy to your partner. Tell them how their touch makes you feel or what you would like them to do. Being intimate is very personal. So, let’s get personal. Don’t be shy.

And don’t forget….

The Mind: The mind can be a wonderful sensual tool and is where it all begins. Send them some sexy pics inviting them to play, leave a note somewhere telling them where to meet you, or some hot text messages to get the imagination going.

Just remember to enjoy the time you spend with your partner and being creative will keep their interest and their love going for years to come.

I'm A Terrible Mother

My son went with his father and bought this really silly cartoon network hat. Well, I'm a terrible mother and he wants to go live with his father because, I won't let him wear the hat to school. I just think it's a silly hat and I feel he needs to spend more time focusing on school and less time focusing on trying to be silly and different. The hat looks like something someone would buy for a two year old and I don't think a 11 year old boy should be wearing something like that. Since, he has changed the way he dresses his grades in school have dramatically dropped. He already wears all the crazy concert t-shirts and crazy sunglasses, I don't want him to turn out to be one of those kids with gauges in their ears or bar piercings in his eyebrows or lips. I believe a child should be able to express their individuality to a certain extent. I don't think there is anything wrong with the kids who put gauges in their ears or do the bar piercings. I just don't my son to do it. I don't think a teenager is old enough to make a decision like that. Gauges and piercings are permanent and I don't want him to make a decision he will regret later or interfere with his success of finding a job when he is an adult. What do you think?

Secrets To A Happy Relationship

You may know, I have dedicated the month of February to Bringing The Love Back in your marriage or relationship.  I know you may already know about all the topics I am discussing for the month of February, or maybe not. But, sometimes we need to be reminded of how to have a happy marriage or relationship.  Sometimes we forget to take care of the person we love and forget that even though we are married we still have to work on our relationship. The month of February is for lovers. Why not may the changes in your relationship the will last all year long. Please feel free to leave any comments or suggestions; I would love to hear from you.


Enjoy One Another

One of the common mistakes couples make in marriage is they forget to have fun together. Having fun together is essential to having a happy marriage. Goof around together; don't be so serious all the time. Be frisky and flirt with one another. Couples are so caught so caught up in daily life they forget to make time alone for one another. Make time for one another at least once a month. Go shopping; go out to dinner or a movie without the children. Look at your budget and see which weekend would be the best weekend to have a date night find a babysitter and spend time alone with your loved one. If you go out to a reasonable restaurant, a dinner for two can be inexpensive. There are several restaurants you two can go out to dinner to and have a couple of drinks and still keep the bill under $40.00. If that is not in your budget, send the kids to a relative’s house for a couple of hours or the night. Have dinner at home and maybe watch a movie together. It is not about how much you spend. It is about staying in touch with each other on a personal level and getting to know each other all over again.
