Nice things happen

It is getting cold over there..
Marc asked me to mail him an electric blanket.
So, today...
B and I headed to the post office to get it sent on over...
We can't have daddy cold over there!
We got to the counter and paid, while there, we were talking to Andrew (we go weekly, so they know us now) about how Marc was doing and the weather change...
As we went to leave, this lady approached us (she was the next customer in line) and asked if my husband was in the service.
I PROUDLY told her that yes, he was ...
He is in the ARMY!
She then handed me the money and said that she wanted to pay for the postage.
Okay, if you know me...
You know... I am emotional...
That being said, I said thanks and walked on outside.
Once outside, I got a bit teary eyed and B and I waited to thank her again.
She came out and I said thanks.
Her response was that there was no thanks needed, she was thankful for us!

How nice is that?!
She then told me to come see her tomorrow and she wants to get a care package sent over to Marc and his guys! She said that she would set a box up at her job and take donations...
She works at Ole Times Buffet and was just as nice as she could be!

Talk about a Random Act of Kindness....
It made my day!

    That's wonderful. I love that people are proud of our service men and women. You should be proud of yourself as well (although I know you're pretty modest). You are a MAJOR advocate for our troops. I'm thankful for you.

    That was so sweet of her!!!!!!!! It makes me think of how when we are out and about I don't even pay enough attention to anyone else to even notice things like that, where you could just help out the person in front of you! I should pay more attention to others! It's hard with a 6-month-old though!

PowerMat - Review and Giveaway

Image
Please let me go ahead and just say... I think/KNOW that the PowerMat will be one of the HOTTEST items this year! Have you heard of this? I mean, seriously! This is Awesome and I am using that since I can not think of any other way to explain it... (Are there really words that would explain something this cool?!) Okay, let me just cut to the heart of it... The PowerMat is just that... A MAT full of POWER! It is a little bit longer than an average book... Thinner than a cell phone. It looks like a skateboard (in my opinion.) and it charges 3 different technological gadgets at once! Do you know what that means? You NO LONGER need 3 cords, no more messy tangles... Just one cord to plug the mat in and you are done!!!! I was sent the PowerMat for review and I am so very impressed! The PowerMat can charge 3 different items... Marc and I have blackberries... (They can now BOTH charge on here AT THE SAME TIME!) We also have several IPods ... The docking station for the IPod can charge my...

Fire Fly Toothbrushes - #giveaway

Image
Is it a hassle to get your younger kids to brush their teeth? Broxton loves it and asks throughout the day if he can go and brush his... Now that he has a new toothbrush!!! We were sent a couple toothbrushes from Fire Fly Toothbrushes and I just love the concept! With Fire Fly, they light up! You just press the button and they light up for a solid minute. What we do here is a little system. First, Broxton brushes his teeth for the first minute. (just a teeny bit of toothpaste) Then, I brush the next minute (once again, minimal toothpaste.) Finally, he gets to brush them a final minute (no toothpaste.) The system is working and his teeth are clean! During the day, when he wants to brush them.. He can, but with no toothpaste. He really just likes the way it lights up. Doesn't hurt that the toothbrush is a hot wheels car!!! He also has one to leave at my parents house.. It is a snoopy one and lights up blue! Talk about a cool item to show the grandparents!!! Not only c...

The Holidays are getting closer and closer! Some may want the days leading up to them to "Hurry Up!" So, with that in mind... I want to kick things off with a pretty cool giveaway!!!!!!! Hurry Up! The Dice Game is kicking things off for us... Check back daily to see what is in store!! Hurry Up! The Dice Game, by Random Line is a hit around here already! True enough, Marc and I did not follow the directions, exactly as we were supposed to, but that was because I did not read them all the way! In our defense, we just wanted to see how much fun it would be to prepare for when the boys are here again! (Note, it will be a big hit! I can see it already!!) This game is super fun and as the name says... Hurry Up!!!! You have 6 die and 6 challenges... One dice is blue... and that adds for lots of fun!!! You only have 30 seconds to complete the challenge... and you might think that 30 seconds is a long time, but in actuality, it is NOT as long as you need it for some challenge!!!!...
