I recently stumbled upon Yenny’s blog and I really like it. I’ve visited it frequently since I’ve found it on the web. She’s a stay-at-home mom of 2 and her blog is awesome.
YennyGirl is celebrating her 3 year blogaversary with a very nice contest, so be sure to visit her site to get in on all the fun!
Here are the PRIZES:
The minute I saw these bags and knew what they were about, I knew I had to have some. With everyone being so environmentally conscious these days, just imagine when you go to the grocery store how much plastic you are taking home with you. And what do you do with that plastic once your groceries are in your fridge?
Granted, with as much groceries as I buy, I will need more than a few bags, I think it will be worth it in the end. But there are endless designs!

I know for me personally, I’ve always been the little sickling or aching and hurting in some way. I always have a bottle of aspirin with me, loads of vitamins and allergy pills. My friends always laugh and call me a “pillhead” but I guess now I can be a “pill head” in style with these stylish looking things.
Not to mention “Cool Beans” is a frequent saying of mine, so I know which one I might be buying. [ Kitson - 8 styles, SKU#195536, $24.00 ]
WalletPop gives readers the Top 5 memberships that would be worth your dime.
I looked up some of the local establishments listed below in my area and did some comparison pricing so be sure to checkout my examples
1. Zoos and Aquariums
Cost: $100.00 a year; This is especially nice if you have children because what child honestly gets tired of seeing animals? Most should include perks like free parking, guest passes, free rides and tours. Since most zoos are considered non profit organizations, your season membership should be tax deductible.
About: Going to the zoo is a fun, recreational activity if you have children, but even just one visit to the zoo can put a strain of anyone’s budget. Zoo and aquarium alleviate the costs by almost 50% and it’s a way to keep the kids busy and out of the house for activity and education.
Example: Columbus Zoo & Aquarium, it costs $59 for an Individual pass, for a Zoo Pass it costs $69 (for two adults + child). The membership includes free admission into the zoo plus more than 100 accredited zoos across in the country and in Ohio, free parking, free members magazine and newsletter, special invitation to members only events, 10% discount at the gift shop
If you, your husband and child visit the zoo once, it’s $10 per adult and $7 per child and parking is $5. There’s $32 just to get into the door, not including food to eat for the day and buying souvenirs and rides for the child. Just one visit to the zoo costs almost just as much, if not more for the membership to go more than once.
Smoke and Rowdy the ferrets are driving mommy crazy!
We bought them the playpen to stay in for hours on end to they wouldn’t be cooped up in the cage all day. Since ferrets only have a 3 hour digestive cycle, let’s just say there would be a lot of “leftovers” to clean up after they were done playing in their playpen. We’re talking about the kind of leftovers that a pooper scooper just can’t get all of.
I bought an additional litter pan and used the snaps that came with the litter pan to snap it to the playpen cage. Obviously they thought it was a new luxury bed, because this is what they did with it:
They threw all of the ferret litter out of it, detached it from the playpen cage and used it to sleep in. I tried to clean things up, refill the pan with litter and tie to to the cage again with no avail. They decorated their house the way they wanted.
Needless to say…me and the ferret pooper scooper are great friends now!
I don’t buy much DVD’s because it’s just honestly not in my budget these days. I am, however, going to buy this Indiana Jones movie when it comes out…for my Dad that is, and then I’m going to steal it to watch it, and then give it back.
I’m a great daughter aren’t i?
I saw this movie when it come out in theatre’s and I loved it so I will probably eventually buy it. It’s action packed, star’s a much older, but still good looking Harrison Ford and another great face to see in the movie is Shia LaBeouf. Keep in mind, I’m not into too much of that violent action, but this was just good old action, so it was right down my alley on the entertainment factor.
“Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” will be released on DVD October 14, 2008 for sale on Amazon for $18.99
What was the last book you bought?
Marley & Me: Life and Love With the World’s Worst Dog
by Josh Grogan
We had a power outage a few weeks ago, and I finally cracked open this book and started reading it because I really did not have many options in the entertainment department.
Name a book you have read MORE than once
by Elizabeth Chandler
It was part of a trilogy book set. One night, I read all three books in one day and then read all three book again a week later. I loved those books.
The books were about a girl and guy who fell in love. The girl was a firm believer of angels and then when the guy dies she loses her faith in angels and when the guy comes back as an angel, she cannot see him. It was a little similar to “Ghost”
Has a book ever fundamentally changed the way you see life? If yes, what was it?
by Betty J. Eadie
It’s a true story on how Betty has a near death experience and she talks about it and how it brought her closer to God. It was very inspirational!

What, in your opinion, is the best book that you haven’t liked? Mind you, I don’t mean your most-hated book–oh, no. I mean the most accomplished, skilled, well-written, impressive book that you just simply didn’t like.
Ironically enough, it was War of the Worlds. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the movie, but reading the book was just pure torchure. Then again, I’m more of a visual person, so reading something like War of the Worlds was not my cup of tea from the beginning.
This was also around the time I was in high school. I think 1985 and War of the Worlds were “have to” reads in high school.
