We are Stepping it up with Walgreens Steps with Balance Rewards #BalanceRewards #cbias

April 29, 2013 By Tammilee Leave a Comment

We are Stepping it up with Walgreens Steps with Balance Rewards and loving it! We are really focused on getting outside and walking as much as we can. I love that we can earn Walgreens Rewards by heading out of the house and walking. You know I love getting a deal and discount any chance I can! How perfect is it to earn rewards, burn calories and get outside of the house at the same time!

Love it!

In order to get ready for our new walking regimen I headed to my favorite Walgreens to pick up a few things. John has been complaining that his shoes were not as comfortable as they once were so I figured I would see if I could find some great inserts.

It was a gorgeous spring day in Spokane when I headed into Walgreens. I love that the sun is coming out and I am ready to be outside enjoying it. You can see all of our shopping photos in our Steps With Balance Rewards photo album. [Read more...]

Heart Health Month and a visit to Walgreens

February 19, 2013 By Tammilee 19 Comments

I have been thinking about heart health a lot lately. I am really focused on making sure we are eating healthy and trying to lose weight. I was reminded this week of how important heart health is and why it needs to be a daily focus. I found out that a co-worker from my previous job passed away from a heart attack at 36. I am still in shock hearing about this. I am 36 and it scares me beyond believe that someone I know passed away from a heart attack at the same age I am . I keep thinking about all of the things I want to do and see in life. John and I sat down and talked about heart health and what we can do to make sure we are focusing on being healthy every day. I am horrible about taking my vitamins. I decided to pick up vitamins at Walgreens and put them on my desk where I can not miss them. I no longer have any excuses to not take my vitamins daily.

John and I visited Walgreens on our way home from the movies. We decided to take a few hour break and enjoy a movie together. We are really focusing on living life to the fullest and finding ways to de-stress.

I headed to the vitamin section as soon as we got to Walgreens. I know I need to be taking vitamins and making sure I have a balanced diet but I have to be honest I never really know what vitamins to take. I always grab vitamin C because my Mom always taught me to take it to fight off colds. When it comes to Heart Health I really was not sure what vitamins I need to take. I was so happy to find the Answers By Walgreen pamphlet in the vitamin section. The pamphlet has over $100 in coupons in it and so much information on vitamins! I found a $2 off coupon inside perfect for my purchases.

Not letting financial setbacks detour you from your goals!

February 18, 2013 By Tammilee 11 Comments

This past week we were hit with two pretty major financial hits. We found out that the renters in our rental house are moving out a month ahead of schedule and the hot water heater broke to the tune of $600. I have to say this was a hard hit to find out. We are working so hard on our financial goals. We are trying to not letting financial setbacks detour us from our goals!

I am so thankful that we have been having twice a month financial meetings together. We were able to sit down and really look at our finances. We were able to figure out exactly how much we have going forward without rent coming in. We have been trying to add additional payments to our car payment and get it paid off this year. I am still hoping we will be able to do this going forward.

I keep reminding myself that saving money is a marathon not a sprint. That there will be bumps in the road but we have to stay focused on our goals and not let the bumps become the new route. I spent this weekend reading Dave Ramsey’s Complete Guide to Money: The Handbook of Financial Peace University. I am taking what I read to heart and reminding myself that this is a long term journey. I am making saving a priority and not letting my wants win out over my needs.

One of the quote I love from this book is
