Happy Tuesday everyone!

Today we have a few announcements from local businesses but also I have another of my "impromptu" restaurant reviews for y'all.   Several of you responded to the survey mentioning that you like these reviews.   I haven't done many and can only think of Carbonara and Heirloom Market BBQ at the moment.  I have two more in mind to do, but in order to keep them "real",  I'm going to have to insist that I keep doing these at random and not at the urging of any restaurant owner!   The only way I'll do them is if I can do them "secret shopper" style!  I wouldn't even let my girlfriends tell Vino Venue that we were affiliated with The Aha! Connection because I wanted to get the true taste and experience without anyone putting forth a special show for us!  You can read the details below if you are interested.   I'll leave the comments forum open on the website post so that you can add your comment about Vino Venue if you'd like!

Vino Venue....an impromptu review by Audra

There were only 7 of us this month and it was the first time there for all of us!   We went Thursday night and had a great time.   The restaurant wasn't full but there was a good crowd there and it was all women from what I could tell.   We all agreed it was a great choice for a "girls night out".   Michelle F. and I were hungry Read More »

Important Electrical Safety Checklist and $25 Coupon

 

Welcome 2013 with a few safety checks!!  Here is a checklist to keep your family and home safe from electrical shock or fire: 

  • Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) can save lives!!  This type of outlet protects against electrical shock.  Check GFCI outlets once a month according to manufacturer's directions.  
  • Unplug appliances when not in use.
  • Make sure outlets are not overloaded.
  • Check electrical wires and cords on appliances, tools, lamps to ensure they are not worn or frayed.
  • Do not use extension cords that are cut or damaged. Touching even a single exposed strand of wire can give you an electric shock or burn.
