This post is Sponsored by The Jim Henson Company but my opinions are 100% my own! Fraggle Rock Meet The Fraggles arrives to DVD on May 14, 2013.  I remember Fraggle Rock from when I was a kid and my girls had no idea who they were.  I don't think it's been on TV for years so I was excited to see it again.  They were familiar with them since they are essentially like the muppets.

This post is Sponsored by CVS/pharmacy but my opinions are 100% my own! CVS is my go to place when we need something that isn't food.  Even if the item isn't on sale and I don't have a coupon, I'll purchase it at CVS.  It's not just because there is one at the end of my road because I haven't always lived that close to one, but it's always been the store of my choice over the other two drug stores.  I like the store brand products, I like the layout of the store, I like the employees and I especially like the deals they have!

This post is Sponsored by Cross Country Cafe but my opinions are 100% my own! I love coffee - especially from my Keurig Single Brewer. I've had one for a while now and I can't imagine going backwards to a drip coffee maker again. Friends of mine were visiting yesterday and I offered them some coffee or tea. They told me not to go through the trouble of making a pot of coffee. I told them I wouldn't be doing that since I can make one cup at a time. This led to a discussion of the Keurig and how much the k-cups cost. She asked me if it was true each cup cost $2! I laughed and told her that was way off but perhaps some people were paying that much for a cup. I then told her about Cross...
