Nina and MrChewy
Nina and the kids are still going crazy over the assortment of treats that Nina received from www.MrChewy.com!
Of course Nina loves them all, and she especially loves her Newmans own Organics Peanut Butter Formula Dog Treats the best.
If you have a pet dog or cat, you have got to check out www.MrChewy.com!
I am usually much to busy to add more errands on my to do lists, and shopping lists, and I love the free shipping MrChewy offers on orders of $49 or more! That saves me money in gas, and a lot of time! Especially since I live nowhere near a pet shop that carries quality, organic, food and treats for Nina.
I am absolutely delighted to have been offered a generous shopping spree for Nina in return for a review, and I will be a repeat customer!
MrChewy offers an incredible assortment of foods and treats and even Frontline Flea and Tick. They also have prescription pet food, and fairly often have discount or coupon codes available.
I have looked at other websites in the past for dog food and treat type deals and I never bothered with ordering online because I could always find it in a store much cheaper then online. But MrChewy does have very low prices, and has already beat my stores prices!
Here is Deegan, running to get more treats for Nina, lol, he especially has been excited because Nina is his best friend and always helps him up when he falls, and makes sure he is safe. he loves feeding Nina anything and everything, so I am content with him having a treat bag close by, rather then the Chips Ahoy and his dinner he loves to share!
Deegan's favorite special treat bag for Nina are the Bil Jac Peanut Butter Nanas Dog Treats, and Bil Jac Yapple nanas, and Nina loves them too. (yes, they may be small, but you would be surprised at how many Deegan can put in his tiny hands!)
Aaron and Genevive are doing a goofy pose with Nina, after feeding her probably a little to many of her treats, lol, but it seems Nina didn't much want to participate for the picture.
MrChewy also offers a very cool Refer Your Friends Program, , all you have to do is share your special link, and your friend gets $10 off their first order, and MrChewy will donate $10 to your choice of partner charity!
You have to try MrChewy out! Your pet will love him, and you will to when you realize how much time and money you will be saving!

Walgreens Prescription Savings Club
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
If you have been an Express Script customer, you may have been affected if you were picking up prescriptions for your family at Walgreens.
Have no fear though! Walgreens has a very good plan for you and your family! Walgreens Prescription Savings Club
If you are a member of Express Scripts, you can no longer have your prescriptions filled at any Walgreens Pharmacies, or any Duane Reade pharmacies in New York.
Walgreens and Express Scripts have not been able to agree on new contract terms, and therefore, the contract expired on Dec 31st of 2011.
Express Script is causing a terrible time for customers, with no new benefits to the customer. Many customers have to drive much further, and have not seen any new benefits! Our military and their families will be affected as well.
One of Express Scripts clients is Tri Care. Tri Care is the health care and prescription drug plan for the men and women of our military. Walgreens made every effort possible, to keep a contract with Express Scripts, even if just for Tricare patients. But Express Scripts refused. Walgreens even offered to match and even beat, all other pharmacies in the Tricare network.
If you are a reader of mine, even if you are new, you are probably a saver in some way, new or a pro at couponing, and you are always looking for more ways to be more frugal!
Walgreens Prescription Savings Club
The Walgreens Prescription Saver Club, is an excellent choice for you and your family! I actually like their plan better then my own prescription plan!
You will want to sign up during the month of January, for an even more amazing deal! $10 for your family to join the Walgreens Prescription Savings Club, and $5 for individuals. These prices are for the month of January, and are normally $20 for an individual, and $35 for a family, per year. That is an awesome deal, and wait until you see what this membership will get you!
You will get savings on more then 8000 brand name medicines and ALL generic medicines. More then 400 generic medicines are available for a 3 month supply for less then $1 a week! You will also receive extra bonuses when buying Walgreens brand, Nice! brand, and photofinishing services. You will also get discounts on flu shots, pet prescriptions, diabetic and nebulizer supplies.
All of that for $5 for your first year, or $10 for your family for the first year.
Even if you may only need this plan for emergency meds, illnesses, and maybe just 1 regular prescription, these savings are much more then what you will save with such plans as Express Scripts. The discounts on pet meds are a nice safety net, and so are the extra bonuses when you buy Walgreeens, Nice! brand, and photofinishing services!

My New Year's Resolutions
2)Catch up on:
a)emails
b)surveys
c)points sites
d)blog posts
e)new blogs
f)my mom group
g)connecting with contacts and leads
h)starting my Newbie Network site, geared towards helping newbies,
just like me, and form a support group!!
i)putting all my points and codes in all the points rewards sites
belong too!
j)catch up on reviews
k)figure out Google Analytics and where to put this in my blogs
l)start my email newsletter through Mail Chimp
m)make a list of everything else online I must catch up with!!
3)Start my Couponing 101 ebook and video series
4)Really get my Enchanted Potions and RADA business off to a good start!
5)Make up all of the missed appointments due to pain, RSD, etc, and reschedule them around MY schedule for once!
6)Get new glasses!
7)Establish a very structured schedule for the 3 little monsters in my life, because we are always behind, very busy, messy, and I am always going crazy!
8)Schedule more school work for the children, for weekends and after school. (I would like to see how well we would do for an at home type schooling for the very near future!)
9)Start a new extremely structured budget! Stick with it and do the envelope cash deal!
10)Clear out my emails as soon as I get them, and stop letting them pile up!
11)Try to help other RSD sufferers, (I have been dealing with this dilemma, which constantly holds me back from every day life and chores, and worst of all, my family)
12)Get re involved with the presidential campaigns and help get people to vote and know what they are voting for!
13)Stop letting RSD control me and my life!
14)Stop letting RSD control my husbands and childrens lives!
15)Research as much as I can about any and every new pain management test, treatment, doctor, clinic, hospital, and help make our Government more aware of this awful disease!
16)Stop piling so many things on my to do list and stick with my daily routine as best I can with my cleaning schedule, errands, and make cleaning 1 room and the bathrooms a daily chore, rather then try to clean the whole house! Make errand day 1 day a week! Laundry, at least every other day!
17)Try like crazy to make and sell as much opera fudge and regular fudge as possible, to have an extra source of income
18)Stop making so many long to do lists, project lists, and New Years Resolution lists;p
19)SAVE!
20)use my Amazon Chase rewards card as much as possible and always pay off! (But you earn 1,2, and 3 points per dollar, and you can use these for Amazon orders! )I actually pay a few hundred each week on this card, and use it for gas, groceries, to pay some bills, and for shopping when necessary. I can pay for Christmas, (I normally do), just with these points on Amazon!!
So, I have been off to a good start with these. I was very much impressed and I have tried to make myself realize that I can not expect to get everything done, every single day. Especially with my RSD in my feet, ankles, and legs, I should not expect to force myself to get it all done on bad days! After all, I have to save any "Low pain days" for my pt bartender job, and my children, (the latter being the most important!)
Most of all, I really have got to learn how to say NO! I am always trying to please everybody, help everybody, and run around for everybody, do everything for everybody, I have stopped that already, well, kind of!
But, I always preach how the small things are what is most important, and life is to short, and blah blah blah, but then here I am, driving 100 miles on a normal day, and helping every person I run into!
No, it is not a bad thing, but it has to be limited. You can not live your life just to help others, and make sure others have everything they could need and want, before yourself. (of course you can do this when it comes to your children, but even then, there must be a set limit!)
The New Year started off pretty well, and I just had a few minor pain issues. New pain, new symptoms, stolen meds, and I have been doing my best and this is just what I have to accept, and nothing more!
The computer is very high on my list, (no, the list above was in no certain order), but my online business, blogs, and sites, reviews, I have got to get together! I have many goals, and I don't plan on going anywhere for a very, very long time!
So, expect to see a lot more posts, and links and fans and friends, because this is my ft job and I have every intention to make this a huge success!
That's all I have to say about these for now, but there will be plenty more on this all to come, each week. It will be a weekly post about how my family, and myself, are doing with our structured spending, schedules, errands, cleanup toy time, schoolwork, and so on.
Please feel free to leave any links to your organizational blogs, business, sites, or any suggestions or comments! They are all always welcome here!

Click here for the 30 cent off 2 Pilsbury Grands Biscuit coupon
Recipe for Aaron, Bethany, Genevive, and Deegan's Easy Sugar Donuts
2 packs of Grands Biscuits
Wesson oil (This is my pick, your favorite will do)
Frying pan, adult, tongs
Granulated sugar
Powdered sugar
Cinnamon sugar
Sprinkles, and any other toppings you choose
Kids
Lots of paper towels!!
A container or a few containers with lids! (My choice is Rubbermaid and Ziploc containers)
Heat oil in frying pan
Cut the biscuits into 4's, and shape into balls.
drop in hot oil, (this is where the adult comes in!), for a few minutes, pull out and place on plates covered in paper towels to catch the extra oil!
Let cool
Gather a few bowls, and dump the sugars in each, 1 for cinnamon sugar, 1 for powdered, and 1 for granulated sugar.
Place lots of paper towels around the kids sugar area!
When the donut holes are cooled enough, divide these up for the kids to dip and roll into sugar bowls, and place in containers.
Aaron's favorite recipe for his sugar coated donuts, is to place each donut hole, in all 3 sugars, and if I was nuts enough to also add a bowl of sprinles, he would also add those as well.
This is a fun recipe, and a neat way to hang out with your kids for a while.
We love to cook and bake together, and I am always trying to find recipes that are kid friendly! If you have any to share, please feel free to comment with your recipe idea, or blog link!!
