Work Travel Should Make Me Run Screaming, But It Doesn’t
I’m traveling this week again for work. Ah, work travel. This time my journey takes me to DC. It seems my whole professional life I’ve been on airplanes. Even when I was only 19, and had started my first company, I was flying down to Atlanta for conferences. But the biggest excitement I’ve ever had [...]
The Real Reason I’m Proud That My Children Are Frontin’
Yes, I’m talking about the rap term “frontin’.” (as in “girl, don’t be frontin’.”) As my children have gotten older, I’ve come to realize that I object to them listening to more and more songs. When Rihanna released “S & M” and it was played on most the the pop music radio stations, I didn’t [...]

Walgreens Coupon Matchups, Week of 4/8
The Walgreens coupon matchups this week were pretty thin, if you ask me. There wasn’t too much in the circular this week and there weren’t any coupons in the Sunday paper. Of course, it’s Easter, so I didn’t have very high expectations for this weekend anyway for couponing. It’s about the family, not about the [...]
CVS Coupon Matchups, Week of 4/1
The CVS coupon matchups with the ECB deals had me very happy this week! First, hit the magic coupon machine in the front of the store. It’s printing out a $2 of $10 in Easter Candy coupon that you can use with an ECB deal today. Second, the Q2 “Reinventing Beauty” magazine is finally on [...]
