Flooding in NC

Have you seen the flood that hit North Carolina? I was watching the news and i saw houses and cars underwater. I even saw a hotel roof gave way because of a flash flood. The drainage pipe that runs through the roof burst flooding the hotel with water. This was a big inconvenience to people who are staying at the hotel and on vacation. As i was watching all these on TV, I called my friend who lives in North Carolina to check how her family is doing. At first, she did not pick up the phone but after few minutes she called me back. She was teary eyed in telling me about what happened in NC. They are not in the flood area but she knows people that got effected. I forgot to ask her if she was able to get a storm damage insurance for her house. I know she mentioned to me the last time we spoke that she was at http://www.thesteamteam.com/ getting information about water damage austin.

How far is North Carolina from Florida? I want to stop by my friend's house on our way back to NJ. I have not seen her in a while. This will be the best time to have a mini reunion if we get the chance.

Shopping For Trip

We made reservations for our Disney World trip about two months ago. It is also about the same time that I have been doing my shopping for this trip. We do not need a whole new ward robe, only some new summer clothes for my daughter and I while hubby is alright with all his dri fit shirts. He is the classic one when it comes to clothes. As always, when I do my shopping, I go for sale and clearance items.

As I was browsing online for summer dresses that we need for our trip, I came across Roaman’s (http://www.roamans.com), a store that specializes on sizes 12W to 44W. They have a big summer sale at 50-70% off on everything. I also found plus size dresses and denims at buy one get one at 50% off.

All Our Bags Are Packed But...

I was doing my packing when I remember that the airlines now charge you for a fee for every checked in baggage. The last time I was on the plane was when we went to the Philippines and I do not remember being charged for checked in baggage. The controversies about these fees make airline passengers check how their chosen airline charge before heading to the airport. There are already two bags sitting in our living room with custom labels with name, address and telephone number made by hubby but if the airline will charge us more than $50 for two, we will just bring one. I can use one of the custom label for the daughter’s backpack.

One thing I have to check also is the size of hand carry item allowed and how many. There is also an online check in (with a fee of course!) that I have to get familiar with. If I can do everything online, it would be great. With three kids with us during this trip, I want to go directly to the waiting area, sit down and wait for the flight to be called.

Sponge Bob Is Melting

We bought this ice cream from Mr. Frosty. Mr. Frosty is the ice cream truck that goes around our block during summer selling ice cream to kids. I don't really buy from Mr. Frosty but it so happened that we were outside the house when he came. The daughter picked this sponge bob ice cream which she did not even finish but she ate the eyes though (they are gum). How much? $2.50.

Parent’s Choice Instant Formula Savings Sweepstakes

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of PBM Products for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

 

I have known Parent’s Choice instant formula many years ago when I was shopping for the right formula for my baby. Parent’s Choice is an exclusive Walmart brand available in all their stores and online too.  When she was born, I received several branded formula from the doctor’s office as samples but when I was shopping at Walmart, I was able to compare it with other brands, Parent’s Choice Instant Formulas has the same ingredients that your baby needs but at a very affordable price than other branded formula. It was a very smart way of saving money by switching to Parent’s Choice but not sacrificing the quality of milk you are giving to your baby.

 

Now, Walmart’s Parent’s Choice instant formula launched last June 1st the Parent’s Choice Infant Formula Savings Sweepstakes Sweepstakes in partnership with PBM Products, LLC, a Perrigo Company where they would pick one lucky winner of a $10,000 college scholarship in the form of a College Savings 529 Plan. This is a chance for parents to save money for their child's education. For more information on how to join the sweepstakes, you can visit their website at http://parentschoicesweepstakes.listrak.com/ and fill out the form then submit your entry. Good luck. Hope one of us could be the lucky winner of the $10,000 scholarship.

$12.99 Meal @ Fridays

I think the $12.99 meal deal on Fridays is back. You get a choice of appetizer from their menu, main course or dinner meal and dessert for $12.99. We have not been back there yet but this is what I had the last time they had this deal. I had garden salad as appetizer, fridays shrimp as my main dish and brownie obsession for my dessert.
