A First

Published by Alyssa Avant under Just Me, Just News

Today, I did something for the first time, I blogged about politics, and because it wasn’t something I was necessarily comfortable doing, I did it on another person’s blog rather than my own.  I stepped out of my comfort zone in a major way.


Blogging about politics has always been one of my self-imposed no-no’s, but today is different, go check out why at Moms in the Right.  Leave me your thoughts, your opinons, I’d love to hear from you.

Excitement is. . . Free Stuff

Published by Alyssa Avant under Just News

I think I’ve found a new addiction.  Yes, quite possibly I have.  Today, after several days of being quite bored and having absolutely nothing to blog about, thank God for Wordless Wednesday and Menu Plan Monday and all those other important Memes that kept my blog going while my brain was obviously on vacation, I have something to blog about.

The mail man just came to my door, which meant only one thing, I had a package.  What a fun package it was.  As you can see by the photo it was free stuff, yippeee, both my daughter and I got excited.  She was trying to get in the box.  It was from Yoplait.  I had agreed to do a product review for them.  I thought they were sending coupons for free yogurt, but that wasn’t all apparently.  I also received not one but two very nice soft coolers, and not one but two Brain Quests flashcards, along with not one but two coupons for Yoplait Yogurt.  We get to try their yogurt drink and their yogurt cups for kids, both of which have Dora on the outside, oh my son will be in yogurt heaven.  He loves Dora!

So, I’m excited, because this mom reviewing stuff means free stuff and what could be better than that?

UPDATED:  oops! I’m such a goof! I just remembered that I was being given something from Yoplait to “give away” so one of each of these items I mentioned will go to one lucky winner, so check back later for my review and how you can enter to win!!  Sorry about that folks, didn’t mean to be greedy!
