Tuesdays For You

There's an event for moms going on at the AT&T store at the South Shore Plaza in Braintree on Tuesday, December 16th from 10-8. People will be there to talk with you about how technology can simplify and streamline your life! Who doesn't need to find out about that? They will be talking about new devices, their calling plans, holiday gift ideas, promotions and even how to handle your child's phone usage.

Just for attending that day, please print out and use the 20% off accessories coupon! (click on image below and then print)

Also...feel free to visit AT&T's blog, written by moms. You can find out about lots of cell phone related issues there!

Let me know if you attend and what you learned! =)

Best Christmas Light Displays

One of our favorite things to do every Christmas season is to put the kids in the car with some hot cocoa and drive around looking at the pretty Christmas lights! One place to try and visit every year is in Bridgewater. It's called the Bridgewater Festival of Lights. You can visit this great display at 55 Alexander Drive in Bridgewater, just off Rt. 18. They are open every night until Christmas from 5-10pm unless there is rain or heavy snow. The great part about this display is that you can get out and walk through it! Oh and it's FREE. Yes, free...they ask that you please make a donation if you can. Definitely a must see!
