Random ... Tuesday Thoughts

Well, today is Tuesday...
and I felt a bit random!

With that in mind...

Lowe's :
I want to know why it is such a big secret that Lowe's offers military discount...
oops, I guess it isn't such a big secret now...
I mean, really... It is like a whispering ordeal for the "military discount."
A friend said she went and the cashier saw her ID... He whispered and asked if she was military... She said yes and then he quietly told her that they offered a discount, but that it was not an advertised thing... Hmm... Guess that is why I ALWAYS ask, everywhere...
I think it is super cool and I love that! Shhhhhhh... do not go telling everyone!

Wal-Mart :
I think it is awesome that they have such LONGGGGGGGGGG parking lots...
Want to know why?
From what I have ALWAYS heard, Sam Walton has them that way, and the lights are ALWAYS on... Just so that the truckers will have a place to pull over and rest if they are tired...
How cool is that?!

Target :
I went in a few weeks ago (with the baby) and a customer came and asked me to help him find something... Told him I was not sure where to look, that I was just a customer myself... He then informed me that "you should not wear a red shirt when shopping at Target." I wanted to point out that last I checked, Target did not allow their employees to push their children in a shopping cart while they worked, as far as I knew...

IHOP :
Totally rocks! Although I wish they would bring back that banana stuffed french toast...
But they offer military discount and the food is so yummy!

Sonic :
Love the happy hour special...
and I am in the mood for a strawberry limeaid...
so.........

Guess where I am off to...
(Just realized today was all about places I spend money... might be a problem there!

    What a cool thing about Walmart, I had no idea.
    I can't believe that idiot at Target, you should have told him that he shouldn't have left his brain at home when he went out shopping! DUH!!
    It's so great to hear that all of those places give military discounts... thanks for passing it along.

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...

Momma Must Have - Exergen Temporal Thermometer- Review and Giveaway

Image
As we all know, it can sometimes be a bit difficult to take the temperature of a sick child. Hey, some adults are known to be big babies... The longer they have to wait, the fussier they become. Well, with the Exergen Temporal Scanner ... Wait is something that can be eliminated! Why do I say that? Just because the wait is merely 2 seconds! During that time, you will already be finished a gift giveaway blog hop, exergen temporal scanner, mom must have, R nd moving on to something else. I really like the ease of the Exergen Thermometer. It has a soft tip on it that you gently swipe across the forehead of your "patient." There are two things that make this stand out compared to others that I have used. One - If you are sweating, you can place it behind your ear to get your temperature. Two - There is a light on both sides to show you that it is on. I like that, as I sometimes worry if it is on or not... You know how I can be! First, remove the protective cap... Turn it on... ...
