CCD Program 1 was developed by Dr Sue, a psychologist and professor at Temple University. The program is geared towards children between the ages of 7 and 12. Children will learn what’s needed to choose, develop, organize and accomplish goals that will be successful. Through the process of learning to set and achieve goals, the child will also be given the tools they need to gain self confidence and self esteem. I’m always looking for new things to teach my children how to plan and meet goals and expectations, so when I saw the Child Development Program that is based off of the teachings of the famous book “The Secret”  I got excited. I asked…

My husband works long hours and then comes home to play soccer 3 days a week with his team. Lately he has had less energy and struggling to keep up with the younger guys on his team so I had him try Energy Bites and found that they provided the needed energy to give him the extra push he needed during game nights. He said they taste good to and he likes the chocolate peanut because it reminded him of peanut M & M’s. I tried them also and found that they did give me energy but I don’t normally take energy supplements other than B12, so would likely not…

I discovered Palmolive Dish & Sponge Fresh liquid dish soap. If there is one chore I hate most it is dishes; I hate doing them so much in fact, that I made that task one of my daughters daily chores. It’s worked out so far really well in my favor but she can’t/won’t do the cooking pans correctly so that chore is on me. We have a dishwasher but pots and pans need a good hand washing and the dishwasher tends to discolor, scratch or rust them so I end up doing them by hand. Another thing I dislike about having to wash dishes is needing a sponge. you have…

I truly love things that are made in America for many reasons but above all I do not support sweat shops and child labor, that’s actually one of the main reason I do not shop at certain chain stores unless I can’t find an item anywhere else. At American Apparel you can expect to find American made quality clothing that are in style and reasonably priced. They have items for the entire family, even your infant. Their factory is located in downtown Los Angeles and they produce more than 10,000 jobs all over the world. They have a neat feature on their site that let’s you explore their factory so…

Have you heard of Truffles? No, not the chocolate kind… Truffles are a type of fungus sort of like a mushroom but they have a distinct aroma and flavor like no other fungus available. According to many people, the truffle is the worlds most delicate food but also the most expensive. People are willing to pay a lot of money for truffles, I am talking thousands of dollars for a tiny ounce! As a deals blogger I find it ridicules that people are willing to spend so much on fungus and it might seem odd that I would blog about something such as this. I was contacted by Susan Rice, creator of the Truffled…

Stuffing is traditional in most American households for Thanksgiving and in my household we have it stuffed inside  our Turkey and a separate dish mixed with ground beef or sausage and other things depending on the year and holiday. During Christmas time we also will have it as a side dish and sometimes ad things like cranberries. Normally my sister will make the stuffing by hand, from dried breadcrumbs she dries herself  but this year we wanted to simplify things so we chose to use Mr Cubbinson’s Stuffing mix both the seasoned and plain variety. We chose this brand because it’s easy to find here in Vancouver, WA. You can get it at Safeway, Fred Meyer…

I was looking for gifts to feature  for dad and those hard to buy folks that you barely know yet have to buy for anyways. I came across this System Mechanic 11 software that claims it will fix most computer problems plus speed up your computer. I have had my desk top for a long time now and scared to part with it because I have embroidery designs stored on it as well as it being an older computer with old software that is compatible with my computerized embroidery machines plus I use it for my blogging business. Lately the computer has been acting up a lot, it freezes up, I get weird messages or it…
