Attention Parents of Small or Special Needs Children

Have I ever found a product for you!  TigTagz ID wristbands for kids. (www.tigtagz.com) This has got to be the greatest invention since sliced bread!

In the land of theme parks, I have lived through the horror of turning around and your child isn't right there.  What if you could have a little extra peace of mind that if you did happen to get separated that a passer-by would be able to find your child and have your contact info, your child's medic alerts, etc., right at their fingertips?

At TigTagz 4 kIDz you can order these handy little wrist bands either plain or preprinted.  You can use a fine tipped permanent marker or ballpoint pen and write whatever info that you wish to have on them.

These bracelets are so sturdy, they cannot be removed by the child, chewed on, so you can have that assurance that it will stay there until you remove it.  These bands are sweat proof, tear proof, water-resistant and are decorated with many different cute little themes.

I highly recommend you check these out.  It really could save your child.  I wish that I would have had these when the boys were younger and didn't know that I had a real name besides 'Mommy'.

These cute little bands are inexpensive and arrive very quickly. With summer right around the corner, they might come in very handy on your vacations.


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.


Thank you Terri for this fantastic review! For more product reviews, please visit OCH Product Reviews.

Book review: Iris and the Dragonflies by Rosemary Danielis

As many of you know, I have a very deep love of dragonflies and that they have a special meaning to me.  When I saw the title of this book, I just knew that I had to read this.

The characters, mostly pre-teens and their families, are described as most of us live in our own daily lives. The sibling rivalry, the pressures of school and making friends.  She has brought children from many different countries to come work together as an amazing team.

The cross of mystery, intrigue, and suspense with the caring and love you find in each and every one of us.  This author has done an incredible job in bringing all of those to life.

For teachers, there is a great lesson to be learned in this novel.  It could be a great accompaniment to an ecological lesson, lessons on selfishness vs. selflessness, good vs. evil, and so many more.

Geared toward a young adult audience, I find this book captivating enough to hold the attention of children and adults of all ages.  Very well written and descriptive.  It will definitely hold your attention and leave you begging for more.

I, for one, will be looking forward to further installments of this series. I can feel that she has so much more to tell and left openings for many more novels.

CVS and ECBs for Beginners

Ok, so you have gathered a nice little stockpile of q's and you are ready to start getting in on some of these deals that you keep reading about. But what do you do first?

First, you need to make sure you have signed up and gotten your CVS Extra Care Card. This is your first key to savings. (You can do this right at the checkout counter, just ask for an application)

Now, you don't have to shop that day, let's wait until Sunday's ad comes out (Thursday in some locations). You get your Sunday sales paper out and you start looking at it. Grab yourself a pen and put a little asterisk * next to the items you are needing or the items that say you can get it free or for maybe 99 cents after ECB (extra care bucks) Make a list of those items.

How to Get Your Coupon On v.2

Filling your organizer

One of the top questions of all newbie couponers is, "Where do you get all of your coupons?!"

How to Get Your Coupon On v.1

As the new year rang in, one of the top resolutions is to save money/spend less. Well if you're reading this, then you're definitely in the right place! This series will help you to learn the art of couponing in baby steps. Let's face it, it's pretty intimidating to look around here and see all of the wealth of information and not know what to do first.

First things first...

You need to decide what organizing system works best for you. Before you can dive into the world of couponing you need to be able to easily locate what coupon you're looking for. Binders are the go-to for most couponers, but there are several other systems that work and may work for you too.
