Freebies from Barnes & Noble

Posted on by

When I think of Barnes & Noble, the first thing that comes to mind is books. Then, I remember that there is usually a cafe located inside these bookstores. Right now, there are two different deals going on that can get you a drink from the B&N cafe for free. The cafe that you see inside your local Barnes & Noble store is not a Starbucks, (even though they sell Starbucks coffee). It is actually a Barnes & Noble cafe, and it will have food and drink items on its menu that cannot be found at a Starbucks. The people … Continue reading →

Ode to My Blender

My husband is famous for making protein drinks and slushies. I am famous for taking advantage of that skill by drinking the protein drinks and slushies. During the warm months we make slushies on a regular basis. Since this treat can be filled with sugar and fat we trim it down by using fresh fruit, yogurt or frozen yogurt as our main ingredients. Over the years we have gone through several blenders. We even destroyed the ones they said we could not destroy. Either the blenders were lost due to their lack of ice crushing power or the glass container … Continue reading →

Disney World New Year’s Eve Celebrations

Why is it that I can find more details on New Year’s Eve events at the Disney parks than I could for Christmas? Probably because Disney kicks off its Christmas events around a month early, so the day itself doesn’t really feature anything unique. At least I can bring you scoop on Disney’s party plans for New Year’s Eve. Obviously both parks will have roaring parties all night long complete with music, fireworks, and parades. Tickets to the Magic Kingdom’s party, however, are already sold out. But the official Disney Parks blog just posted about some of the other celebrations … Continue reading →
