The one2one network offered me the chance to listen and review Kenny Loggins' new children's/family album ALL JOIN IN.We first listened to the album as a captive audience taking Karl to work one morning. I really enjoyed the music--it was upbeat and made me want to tap my toes. We all enjoyed the "andy song," as my three year old, Henry, referred to Loggins rendition of You've Got a Friend in

What a great night! Karl and I just returned from a live performance by Diane Birch compliments of the One to One Network.We left a teary-eyed Henry and sleeping Clare with Rebecca the sitter, and headed off to Austin's La Zona Rosa. Right away we were both very impressed by Diane's ability to sing while playing the piano. We know first hand how difficult it is to play and sing simultaneously--

I'm very happy with the location of the area grocery stores: HEB is within walking distance and always has reasonable everyday prices. Target and Walmart are about 6 miles away--close enough for the infrequent trips we make there. And finally there's the Randalls about 4 miles away--the perfect distance for a store that really only has good advertised deals--and hardly any reasonable everyday

Here is a link to my deals spreadsheet for the week. This is how I plan for the upcoming deals, and make a game plan before I head out to the store. I try to calculate any out of pocket expenses ahead of time, so I can minimize hassle in the store, and maximize savings. I keep a spreadsheet for each week as deals appear--this way I don't waste time searching for deals that I may have read about
