And what are you thankful for?

On Wednesday night during our drive to my parents house, Adam and I asked the kids what they were thankful for. Malia's response was short, sweet, simple and to the point -- her family & her friends. When we asked Aidan, he thought for a moment and replied...MY GIRLFRIENDS.And, when asked how many girlfriends he had, he replied, "A hundred of them."Happy Thanksgiving! … [Read more...]

It's no secret...I love to shop. What I love even more is to get a good deal while shopping...whether that means getting a discount on my purchases or earning some cash back from my purchases.

First snow

It snowed yesterday for the first time this year. Nothing stuck...not here in Virginia Beach...but it was still neat and pretty to watch falling down from the sky.

Absolutely horrible.And, me being the highly organized and always ready mother than I am (bwahahaha) did NOT take a picture of the fluffy white stuff as it was coming down. Oh, well...next time. … [Read more...]

You are aware of the cost, right?

No.I wasn't.Aidan had an appointment with the dermatologist on Wednesday to discuss the molluscum (or is it mollusca if it's more than one??) on his back. It's nothing nasty or gross...it's just something kids get. It's a viral thing and it's related to the wart family and it has just been a pain in our rear ends for quite some time now. The Differin that our pediatrician gave us to use wasn't working...it was just irritating his already sensitive skin. So, after seeing my dermatologist, Aidan was given a prescription for Alavera...or is it Alevera...it's NOT Aloe Vera. Apparently it's a new cream and it's suppose to work like a charm.I took the prescription to Wal-Mart last night on the way home from work and went back today to pick it up (our Wal-Mart pharmacy is swamped...'tis the … [Read more...]
