Guys, every so often a gadget comes my way that makes me giddy! I have one this month – it is my new fave! You know I am working on my reading goal this year and I tend to do more of my reading in bed, at night. I do not always read on my Kindle and I don’t like to have a light on when my hubby is sleeping, so.. now I have this.. a book light that wraps around my neck, is super light and works so well! I LOVE IT!

Rakuten:
I am a big fan of Rakuten, formally Ebates. This site can be used on line and in many stores, There is NO cost to you and you earn money back. I have collected over $800 in the last years of being a member. I have a referral code that will give you a dollar perk and will send one to me too!

24.4 miles walked in 26 hours in NYC on a quick getaway with my hubby. This was a gift for my birthday and it is something we rarely get to do. I was an anxious and a stressed out wreck leading up to the trip. I wanted to bail a few times, but thanks to my oldest daughter, our guy was well taken care of and we had a blast.
