Waiting to exhale, and almost there

I know that we all have personal goals that we set for ourselves. I have set so many that it’s hard to keep track of them all. One of the most important that is to finish college in so shape or form. I want to set an example for my children to let them know that it is possible no matter the circumstance.  A brief history on me, I graduated in 2000. I always though college wasn’t for me, so I enrolled in the local community college and dropped out after a year and a half. After working for ten years, and finding a field that I love working in I decided I needed to take my job to the next level. I reenrolled in the same community college for an Associate in Science with a concentration in office administration in general and legal office.  Today I filled out my paper work for spring graduation and I will be walking across that stage in May! To me this is a huge accomplishment. I hate it took me ten years to figure out what I wanted to do, but I say it is well worth it.

Hasbro Review and Giveaway: Cuponk and Girltalk { Ended}

Image
What Shot You Got? This month,   Cuponk   was named to the Toys R Us “Hot Holiday Toy List” and the Kmart “Fab 15.” Not a bad way to start the holiday season! We’d like for you to try this hot game and tell us what you think! Cuponk challenges players to come up with custom trick shots to show their skills and land the ball in the Cuponk cup. My Thoughts: This game has been a big hit with my family. Girls and boys alike go crazy over this game. This game lets you get the competitive edge, but in a fun way. Watching the kids trying to get their own trick shots down is hilarious. This game is also not for kids, but adults as well who feel like a Kid at heart! LOL Moments Shine The giggles are uncontrollable when the   Hasbro Girl Talk Games   are out. These games are perfect for fun slumber parties and to keep those “lol moments” alive during the holiday season.

Good Things Come in 3's THE WINNER IS: crazylicious85 Have you ever heard of the saying that good things come in threes? Well when I heard that Chili’s has a new appetizer promotion, that saying is oh so true! What better way to start off a meal then to choose any of your three favorites from Chili’s appetizer menu.

This trio is so filling that there is always enough to share, so...

Chuck E Cheese's New Pizza Recipe Review and Giveaway

Image
If your kids are anything like my own they know what are where Chuck E. Cheese is. After my daughters first visit we made detours to avoid driving by because she would cry wanting to stop by. So when I told her that we have the opportunity to review Chuck E. Cheese's new pizza recipe she was more then thrilled.  We were sent the Guest pass that gave us  a large pizza, 4 drinks and 30 tokens. This was more then enough for us to share, so we brought along my cousin and her little boy as well. Anytime we go to Chuck E. Cheese I also check my email to see the latest coupons they have, if you haven't already you can sign up for their news letter here. I'm a big fan when it comes to their pizza, so when I got the email I didn't think there was any way to improve something so good. Boy was I wrong. We ordered half cheese and half pepperoni. I could tell the sauce had a richer flavor and the crust was thinner (I'm a huge friend of thin crust). Not o...
