For those that don’t have medical insurance and pay for prescriptions, the Walgreens Prescription Savings Club might be able to help save some money. I know that prescriptions are NOT cheap, so this club help families save quite a bit of money each month.

The Prescription Savings Club is open to those of all ages and offers family a membership for $35 that covers everyone in their family including spouses, dependents that are 22 and younger and even pets. There is an individual membership for those that are unmarried without children for only $20 per year.

When you become a member, you can save on more than 8,000 brand name medications as well as all generic medications. In addition to those savings, you will also receive discounts on flu shots, pet prescriptions, nebulizers and diabetic medical supplies. If you buy Walgreens brand products or photofinishing services, you will also receive a 10% bonus on these purchases. For those that shop at Walgreens often, this might be a great way to save on products you buy regularly (that are Walgreens brand).

To stay on top of the Walgreens updates, be sure to follow Walgreens on Twitter. You can also find Walgreens on Facebook too!

This week I read that many of Walgreen’s customers are going to have to look for a new pharmacist to refill their medications. Last year, Walgreens and Express Script tried to negotiate a new contract and were unsuccessful. The contract expired on December 31, 2011 which has left many of Walgreen’s regular customers scrambling to find a new place to fill their prescriptions. This change has effected all of the Walgreens nationwide as well as Duane Reade pharmacies in New York Area.

My family has used the same pharmacy for years. The pharmacist even know my husband by name since he is one of their regular customers. I know my husband would be upset if he had to switch his pharmacy because of a contract. For some of the customers, having to go find a new pharmacist is not only aggravating, but can also be costly. For some customers, they may now have to drive a further distance for a refill, which could mean extra money spent on gas to get there. If you refill your prescriptions with Walgreens, you can call your pharmacist to see if your prescriptions have been affected.

Walgreens has a way to help those that might be struggling with this disruption or those without insurance that want a way to save money on their prescriptions that they pay out of pocket for. Walgreens is offering a special discount this month on their annual membership to the Walgreens Prescription Savings Club. You can join during their special promotion for only $5. If you have a family, you can sign up the family for only $10. With this membership, you have access to savings on more than 8,000 brand name and all generic medications.

I have been building websites for over 15 years. In the past I have built websites with the intention of selling them for profit in the future. When I decided to sell the sites in the past, I wasn’t always sure which method was the best way to go.  I actually remember selling a couple websites on Ebay. This was an easy way to get my sites out there for sale, but I always thought there was probably some sort of website that you can list your site on that could help you sell your site or more than I received in my other method. I have since found other ways to put my website online for sale.

If you want to sell your website there is a site that has been designed to be a marketplace for premium websites. At Rouper.com you can list your website right now for only $1.00. They are having a special promotion this month that ends on Nov 9. Use the promo coupon code of “FX7O0NP8″ to  list your premium website for sale for only $1. In addition Rouper will waive the success fee on any listings created using this coupon.

Okay, this blog definitely is in need of a M-A-K-E-O-V-E-R.

Today I am working on adding a new theme and making this blog look completely different. So don’t worry if anything is wacky because I am working on making it perfect!

When you own a business, being able to communicate with your clients is important to create a working relationship between you and your clients. With my business, I am always keeping in touch with my clients via email. When you have a large business, there will be times when you need more than just email to communicate with your clients. I was looking today at the Mavenlink website. If you have never heard of it, Mavelink is a company that has a program that allows companies to communicate with their clients with a user-friendly platform.

Mavenlink has a proven record with an excellent technology platform that helps you with the communication needs between you and your client. I only see this program getting better in the future with all the fast growing technology.

They currently offer 3 different accounts that each come with a free trial and no credit card required.

I have over a dozen blogs. Some of my blogs are within another domain so I don’t have stats just for the blog like I have wanted until now. I did not know how easy it was to install the WordPress Stats Plugin. I installed it on one of my blogs a couple days ago and within hours I had stats coming in.

If you have a self hosted WordPress blog and want some stats, try using the plugin at:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/stats/

Example screenshot taken from WordPress site:

You basically upload the plugin, activate it and input your WordPress API key. Easy as pie!

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Raising a Father. All opinions are 100% mine.

I love books that are about stories from the heart. The video below is about a book called Raising a Father that is written by a father who seen his flaws at parenting. This father realized that he was spending too much time at work which was damaging the relationship with his daughter. In this book, the author shares his real true stories about leaving the corporate world. He leaves his job to start a home based business which enables him to spend time with his daughter. This story is really inspiring because I too left the corporate world to run my own business from home to spend time with my family.

For the dads that spend too much time at work, I recommend giving this book a read. Some people just need a little inspiration to reach towards their goals. I had a dream for years of working from home and I took that dream and made it come true. There are times when I think that my family would be “better off” if I had the income from my old employer, but the time I spend with my family is definitely worth the pay cut.

What are your thoughts about dad staying at home with their families?

Many times teleconferencing can come in very handy for your business. I have been on many conference calls for different businesses that I have been involved with in the past and thought the concept was great. You are able to get many people on one conversations I should say.

If you are involved in direct sales, you have probably heard of or have been involved in teleconferencing. It is a way that you can get your whole team on the line to share what you have to say. There is a FREE web-based teleconferencing system that is in private BETA right now that you might want to take advantage of. This system simply dials out to cell phones, landlines as well as VOIP programs like Skype too!

If this is something you think might be useful to your business, you can give it a FREE try. Why not give it a try and see how it works? Hey, maybe you want to get all your family on the phone for a big reunion call!

If you would like to try this service out and maybe provide Speek with some feedback, register for private beta. Using this link makes joining easier!

Until Next Time

ince I am a mom to a bunch of kids, I better know how to cook right? I actually LOVE to cook, as long as it is something that is not too complex. I like simplicity in my life, especially in the kitchen. Even though I have a passion for cooking, I know that I don’t plan on making a career out of it. I love cooking for my family and friends and that is about it.

I see many shows on TV about different culinary schools. I bet you didn’t know there are culinary conventions too! There is actually a Italian Culinary Weekend Getaway to Branson, MO for those that want to take their cooking skills to that next level. Not only that, meet other like minded people who have a passion for cooking too!  This event will take place Friday February 26th and February 27th.  The getaway starts with a reception in the evening that includes antipasto, Hors d’oeuvres and Italin wine. Sounds like a plan too me! You will also be able to experience hands on cooking demonstrations. This would be fun to take part in!

I don’t think this getaway will fit into my agenda, but it might for you! The cost is based on a double occupancy and starts at $429
