Babysitter Hunt!

There are families here in our neighborhood that have little ones that may need to be watched here and there. I would like to start a list to add to our blog of available teens or maybe even adults who would be interested in being added as a babysitter. Please forward me your name, age if teen, and phone number.


Restaurant Freebies for the Day


Julie and Melissa told me you can print a coupon for a free small spaghetti with meat or marinara sause when you purchase any drink. Just submit your first name and email address to access the printable coupon. The coupon expires Jan. 19, find your nearest location here. Sounds like a cheap dinner out! There isn't one that close to us here, but if you are going away on business or leisure you may stumble across one!


Just sign-up for the Captain D's Club, says Barb, and they'll email you a coupon for free fish & fries or free chicken & fries. The closest is in Dallas!

Health Tip

Enjoy plenty of whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Surveys show most Americans don't eat enough of these foods. Do you eat 6-11 servings from the bread, rice, cereal and pasta group, 3 of which should be whole grains? Do you eat 2-4 servings of fruit and 3-5 servings of vegetables? If you don't enjoy some of these at first, give them another chance. Look through cookbooks for tasty ways to prepare unfamiliar foods.

Money Savings Tip

Cancel unused club memberships. Are you paying dues at a club that you never use? Like, for instance, a gym membership or a country club membership? Cancel these club memberships, even if you think you might use them again someday - you can always renew the membership at a later date if it turns out that you actually do miss it.
