Hey, This Is A Great Idea From The USPS

USPS is offering an Informed Delivery service that will provide you with a digital preview of the letter-sized mail you will be receiving through them. All you have to do is sign up with USPS and notifications will be sent on days when mail is being processed and delivered, letting you know what you can expect to find in your mail box that very day.

In addition to this daily update, the service will also act as a great security tool should any of your mail go missing or not arrive.Check your zipcode HERE to see if it's available in your area

Denny's Is Giving Away Free Grand Slam Breakfasts This Month

Now through the end of January, Denny’s is making it easy for you to snag a free “Grand Slam” breakfast—its signature order, with a choice of items like pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, and grits.

To get a free “Build Your Own Grand Slam,” all you have to do is place an online or mobile order from the “Denny’s On Demand” platform this month. Then, on your next online or mobile order any time through Wednesday, January 31, you’ll receive a Grand Slam breakfast free of charge.

Orders can be placed at Dennys.com or the “Denny’s On Demand” mobile app, available via iTunes or the Google Play Store. These orders are good only for takeout or, where available, delivery. In other words, you can’t order ahead online and dine in at a Denny’s restaurant.

Denny’s Grand Slam breakfast comes with a choice between 10 items, including eggs (any style), three kinds of meat, pancakes, fruit, yogurt, buttermilk biscuit, potatoes, and toast. Customers get to choose any four ingredients, and the normal price is roughly $6 to $8 (prices vary by location).

The restaurant business is generally pretty slow in January, when the weather is chilly and people tend to stay indoors more. So the start of the new year is often a time when special discounts and promotions pop up to boost business. Denny’s competitor IHOP, for example, recently launched a $3.99 all-you-can-eat pancake deal available now through February 11.

Paleo Powder - Enhance the flavor of any meal!

Have you heard of Paleo Powder? Their site lets you in on what they're all about:

Great tasting, versatile seasoning blends formulated to enhance the flavor of almost anything you're cooking without the unhealthy ingredients and disruptive additives found in most seasoning blends. You've discovered your one-stop, healthy flavor shop.

What makes our seasoning Paleo? Unlike most seasoning blends, Paleo Powder seasonings do not contain unhealthy ingredients (like sugar) or disruptive additives (like silicon dioxide used to prevent clumping) and are produced in a facility where there is no chance of wheat, milk, soy or other non-Paleo contamination.

Paleo Powder products are MSG free, gluten free, Certified Paleo, Whole30 Approved and GO TEXAN.

The best part for me is, the unhealthy additional stuff you find in the spice aisle you won't find in Paleo Powder!! That's what sold me.

If you want some helpful information about nightshade spices or some delicious looking recipes, you can view their blog HERE. Also, you can purchase single bottles OR in sets. They've got quite an impressive array of flavors and in my opinion, it's easier than making your own seasonings (time-saving) when, like me, you've given up on chemical laden foods.

If you lose track of this post, you'll find a permanent button for Paleo Powder on the right of this page.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice - Comic-Con Trailer [HD]

There's a new movie coming out and the previews look great!

Patheos.com says: "So the new Comic-Con trailer for Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice has been out for a couple of days now. People are talking about how great or horrible it is, or how nice it was to see Gal Gadot’s fist-throwing Wonder Woman. But did you notice how spiritual the whole thing was, too?"

Will you be watching it? I think I just may start liking Batman movies again :)

1,001 White DistilledVinegar Tips

Personally, I use white vinegar to disinfectant, degreaser, pet deodorizer and sanitizer. Honey Bear doesnt like the smell it leaves, but we both agree on the benefits of not using chemicals for these things. I am one of those people who have always used harsh chemicals bare-handed....hands irritated, red...but I knew everything was clean. NOW I dont have any negatives from using white vinegar except the smell of...well, vinegar!

At Least 4 Killed as Tornadoes, Thunderstorms Sweep Across Midwest

We stayed awake while the storms were raging around us last nite...our precious dog HATES thunder & lightening, so for her...we kept her company. The power kept flickering, then finally went out, but just for a wee bit...when we looked out the hotel window, it was as if we were in a disco with all the flashes of lightening!

This comes from the town we are in this weekend!

MILLBURY, Ohio -- Authorities say tornados and thunderstorms swept through Illinois, Ohio and Michigan, killing at least four people, destroying 50 homes and damaging scores more, as well a high school gymnasium in Ohio where graduation was to be held Sunday.
Fire Chief Todd Walters of Lake Township in northwest Ohio says several people were taken to hospitals. He says authorities are searching through homes and couldn't say whether anyone is missing. He estimates the storm left an eight-mile path of destruction in an area of farm fields and light industry.
Superintendent Jim Witt says the field house at Lake High School was damaged and the cafeteria was destroyed. Walters says some buses were tossed across the school parking lot.
Meteorologist Charles Mott of the National Weather Service says a tornado touched down in central Illinois.
