Deal of The Week

I highly suggest heading to Kohl’s right now if there is one in your area because all of the games are 60-80% off. Plus if you sign up for their email list there is an extra 15% off your entire purchase, including clearance items, coupon this week.

I bought all 6 of these games for $25. I can’t usually do much better at the thrift store and these are brand new. Not bad considering the Scene It games retail for $30 each. I also got some Pj’s that Abby needed, which brought my total high enough to qualify for $10 in Kohl’s cash that I plan to use next week to but two more of the games if they are still on sale (The cashier thought they would be) which would make 8 games for $25.

At least one will be going with my hubby tomorrow because he’s playing in a golf tournament to benefit Toys for Tots, but the others I can save for Christmas & birthday gifts. The Twilight game is going to elicit some major eye rolling from Eddie when I gently twist his arm into playing it with me tonight. (Hey, I couldn’t pass it up for 5 bucks.)


We had to break out the Cooties game right away. My sister and I used to play it with my Mommom when she would babysit us as kids. Nicholas loved it too. It is great for fine motor skills, colors, and counting practice. Plus it’s fun. 🙂

It was the first time he’s ever sat through an entire game.


I’m addicted to games. We have an entire 7 foot tall shelving unit in our basement stacked with board games. They are my second biggest vice, right behind hoarding children’s books. Are you a board game family? Which games are your favorite?

    Oh Angie I hope that’s not true. Kohl’s is my favorite local store. I thought I heard they were doing much better than the other department stores and were opening more locations. I know ours is brand new within the past year or so and a new one just opened near my mom’s house in another state as well. Hmmm…I guess I will just have to hope for the best.

    Hopefully they can pull it together and stay open. I just heard that though. I really like it too but this year I have been disappointed, especially on my last trip there. Everything was so jacked up in price. My little girl is 7 years old and she wanted a skirt and shirt set for school. It was marked 30% off….but was originally $70!!!!! Are you kidding me!? Most years we do all our school shopping there and take advantage of the kohls cash, but this year we were pretty disgusted. And then a couple weeks later I heard about the financial problems…

    I’m going to have to get over there for sure! I also found foam puzzles (not the highest quality, but still pretty decent) for $1 a piece at CVS- colors, transportation, US map, etc. They even had some with the skeleltal system, brain, etc.
    Our favorite games are Ticket to Ride, Canasta, and Settlers of Catan.

I know it’s a small thing, but I believe small things can add up to big changes. my entire North Bay series, including Out of Left Field, Right as Rain, and Way Off Base, is free on Kindle from Jan. 30-Feb. 3. Please take the funds you might have spent on my books this week and reallocate them toward the areas in our country that need them the most. Follow creators like Dad Chats who can direct you toward practical needs local to them. I hope my quirky romcoms can bring you some comfort and joy during difficult times, and I hope together we can take small, practical steps toward big changes. ... See MoreSee Less

Binkies and Briefcases with Stephanie Giese
I know there is an overall feeling of helplessness in our country right now. So many of us are at a loss for what to do beyond making phone calls and social media posts (which are still important, but can feel like not enough). I believe strongly in the power of small things adding up to big ones. As one person, I might not be able to do much, but what I CAN do is use my voice and my books to work toward the change I’d like to see. That’s why, for the next five days, from Jan. 30-Feb 3, I’m making the Kindle versions of my entire North Bay series (Out of Left Field, Right as Rain, and Way Off Base) completely free. Art has power, and I do hope these comedies can bring you some comfort and joy in difficult times, but most importantly, I also hope you’ll consider redirecting the funds you might’ve spent on my books and donating instead to one of the many charities working tirelessly in our cities right now. If you are located in an area like Minnesota or Portland, please use the space below to make people aware of the organizations in your area that need help. ... See MoreSee Less

Splendid Spoon Review

I was excited to receive a box of products to try from Splendid Spoon this summer! They invited me to try their line of plant-based, ready-to-eat foods and delivered them right to my door. Check one in the pro column for convenience. I did receive these products free of charge in order to rate them […]
