Last Chance To Save With the Cart Buster Saving Event at Kroger Family Stores

Last week, I mentioned my favorite grocery store, Kroger. It has been my go-to store for groceries for as long as I can remember. Why? Because, in my opinion, they always have the best deals and always save me money. I also love when they have great promotions like right now!

Just like last Friday, the Kroger Family of Stores Cart Buster Sale Event  is still going on and will continue until March 16th! I get so excited when Kroger runs this event because you can save so much money. Many P&G products are on sale, including Pampers, something we buy every time we go to Kroger. Yes, diapers can be expensive, but it definitely makes me feel better when I don't have to pay full-price for them! The Cart Buster Sale Event can save you even more than usual, especially when you stack on any addition coupons you've clipped or added to your Kroger card!

On top of the Cart Buster Sale, there is another surprise for shoppers right now and TODAY is your last chance to go for it! Login to your account for extra savings with Select Your Deal! Once logged in you can really pick your deal. You are given a choice of three items from which to choose. Last week I got a great coupon for Iams Cat Food. Want to know what I got this week? This week I had the deals below and decided on the Buy One Get One for Kraft products. I love Philadelphia Creme and use it to make delicious pasta dishes. Once I selected that coupon, it immediately uploaded onto my Kroger card, so the next time I go shopping, it will automatically deduct when I check out and scan my card.

How can you resist these deals? Click Here to Select Your Deal! Remember, today is the last chance to do this, so don't delay! Be sure to come back and let us know which of the coupons you choose. Also, remember that you must register your Kroger card online (if you haven't already) to take part in this promotion. It's very easy to do and only takes a few minutes. I've been registered for several years now and have saved a great deal with all of the coupons. I am positive you will love it!

Horse Haven: Own a Horse Farm Without All the Hassle

What child isn't fascinated with horses? I always begged for a horse as a child, but, of course, never received one. I eventually outgrew my love for horses (okay, I still like them a little), but now I have kids! Even my boys love horses and, since there are horse farms all around where we live, we drive past them constantly, making them want one even more. Luckily, we have found a happy medium, a place where my son can play with horses, feed them and even build onto his own farm. One of our favorite game makers, UbiSoft, has created Horse Haven, making it possible for children to finally have the horse or horses of their dreams!

I helped Josiah get started, but the game makes it very easy to begin with a tutorial. Five minutes after beginning, you know exactly what to do and you have goals to work towards for your farm! Here's basically what your farm looks like when you begin and the tutorial that tells you what to do.

It didn't take long before Josiah's farm was growing and thriving. He loves how you must feed the horses, wash them and really take care of them. We added a water well, a petting zoo and even a carrot garden for some delicious horse treats! Here is how we fed the horse carrots:

Josiah had such a great time with this game that we've played it a few times now. It just doesn't get old for him, so I know he'll be playing this one for a while. I have to admit, I'm curious about what is to come. They mention horse shows and even breeding, so it looks like the game just gets more exciting as you go along!

Our day of planning and building came to an end when we ran out of energy. Then, you must wait a certain amount of time before continuing or you can purchase more energy if you don't want to wait. I am hoping this game eventually goes to the iPad because I would love for him to have a more portable version. For now, I have a feeling we'll be on Facebook much more often! Here's what the farm looked like after a hard day's work:

Give Horse Haven a try and let me know what you think!

2nd.MD's Amazing Online Service: Receive the Medical Attention You Deserve #Clever2ndMD #spon

Thank you to 2nd.MD for providing me with a $200 stipend to test-drive this revolutionary online medical service.

I was lucky enough to work with Clever Girls on a review of the website 2nd.MD. It's a wonderful website offering people a chance to meet with specialists for doctor's appointments online! You don't have to travel across the country, pay for a babysitter or spend money on gas. It's just as simple as making an appointment and having a web camera.

About 2nd.MD
We will turn complexity to simplicity and frustration to ease. We will align the interests of doctors to those of the patient. We will mark our place in history for charting a new course in healthcare. We will know that we shook the very foundations of decades of tradition and bureaucracy that left patients and doctors so frustrated. Access, transparency, competition, care and expertise will forever be changed.
We are not a corporation. We are a cause. We want to be remembered for bringing ease, trust, and inspiration into healthcare. We are revolutionaries and we will not quit until mothers at home, rural families and the sick in bed can have effortless access to amazing doctors. We are a team of focused and diverse individuals. Our tools are not government, corporations, or large budgets but instead our weapons are creativity, purpose, and technology.

An amazing video about the inspiration behind 2nd.MD with the CEO and Founder, Clint Phillips.

My Thoughts
As many of you may know, we moved to a rural area this year, up in the north Georgia mountains. Trips to most doctors take at least an hour. Our youngest, Liam, has been diagnosed with NF1, a tumorous disorder that causes them to grow an multiply in the body, mostly in the brain. Our specialist in Atlanta is absolutely amazing, but we only get to meet with him once every 6 months or so. I haven't seen him in well over 6 months at this point and have a million questions about Liam's health and development.

2nd.MD's service is designed to help people like me, who can't always easily leave the home or travel long distances to see a doctor. This ingenious idea can really be the future of medical intervention and help people who would have otherwise been neglected or mistreated. I gave their service a try and was utterly blown away by the dedication of the staff to not only find a doctor suitable for Liam's needs, but to help me fix any issues I had ahead of time (computer issues, connections, etc.) so that the appointment would go smoothly.

We had an appointment with a well-known oncologist Dr. Daphne Haas-Kogan who has worked with children as well. I couldn't wait for our appointment! Ahead of time, I went through a set-up to make sure my laptop met all system requirements for the appointment. Since the appointment is through audio and visual, with earphones and a web camera. It turned out that I needed a newer version on Firefox, which I easily updated and then I was ready to go.

The entire appointment was absolutely amazing. Dr. Haas-Kogan was extraordinarily helpful, caring and gave me the information I was seeking. My questions were answered and I feel much more educated about NF1 and my son's future. She gave me the encouragement I needed for this week, which marks time for his next MRI.

This is what the account looks like when you sign up. You can keep up with appointments, upload medical files and much more!

I am so thankful for 2nd.MD's amazing service and what they seek to do to help others, not as a corporation, but as a cause. With the vision and clarity they provide for the medical world, the future possibilities are endless! I highly recommend checking out their service. Are you unable to leave home for long amounts of time? Live in a rural area or have some other reasons that keep you from seeking the medical attention you deserve? Now's the time to make an appointment with a doctor who can help you, give the answers you need and maybe even save your life.
