Give me Liberty, or give me…a nap

A year or so I wrote up a review of a full-spectrum lamp. Seeing as it’s the end of September already, I thought it was the perfect time to reintroduce the topic of the winter blahs… hey, someone had to broach the topic, right?

The Verilux Happylight Liberty Energy Lamp is a great price and its size is perfect. Plus, you can adjust the angle of the unit, it’s easily mounted on the wall, or can be used on the desk- or countertop. The original one I had test driven last year, The Deluxe , offered 10,000 lux.

Amazon for Moms

Not too long ago, I headed down to Long Island, NY for a very special baby shower. My sister’s daughter is expecting…twins! These are her first children, but if she’s anything like the rest of us women in the family, all she has to do is trust her gut, check with her mom, and she will be just fine! She has tons of family in the area, too, so that will be a huge help.

Everyone wants to save money

Yesterday in the grocery store, the woman in front of me had purchased something with one of those coupons stuck to the front of the package. Often the checker will see the coupons and pull them off for scanning, but on this day for whatever reason, she missed it. At the end of the transaction the customer asked if she had grabbed the coupons off the packages. Because she hadn’t, it took another minute or two before she could start on my order, and the customer apologized to me for taking so long.

School Shoes

For me, back to school always evokes memories of “School Shoes”.

My mom would take us, two at a time (there were four of us growing up) to get new shoes for the start of the new school year. Now, I’m the mom–but I still get excited about going out for “School Shoes”. My only gripe can be the cost–however, you don’t have to pay through the nose to get the kiddos shod before Labor Day.
