Bryan Blathers: Listen Up! Audio Books Are Great & Here’s Why I Love Them

This article contains affiliate links. When you click on them and make a purchase, we might earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Read full disclosure here.

I hate audio books. I will never ever download an audio book. I love the feel and touch of an actual book and physically turning the pages. That was me a few years ago. I dug in my heels and would never budge. Now, 150+ audio books later, I can’t get enough of them. (I average about one book a week because I’m on the road so often.)

Helpful Tips For Ordering Food For Take-Out

For the time being, dining out has a whole different meaning. You can no longer sit down at a restaurant and linger over a good meal and glass of wine with friends and family. While most restaurants remain open, the tables and chairs are off limits. The only options are delivery or take-out. Delivery can be easier and more convenient, with take-out being a little more complex — especially during these chaotic times. [Read more…] about Helpful Tips For Ordering Food For Take-Out

First Time Working From Home? Here Are Some Helpful Tips

Working from home for the first time? Well, I’m somewhat of an expert. Luckily, our staff works from home, so I’m well-versed on the ins and outs of what it takes to successfully work from home. If you’ve never worked from home before, it can be challenge getting started — especially because, in the beginning, it feels like it’s just another day off. You forget you’re “at work” and it’s just too easy to sleep in, watch TV or get distracted by just about anything. [Read more…] about First Time Working From Home? Here Are Some Helpful Tips

6 Wild Ways to Save On Denver Zoo Admission

The Denver Zoo is the best place in town for a wild day of family fun and adventure. With so many wonderful exhibits and creatures, there is much to do, see and learn for all ages. However, the popular attraction is not known for offering many discounts.

King Soopers: Free Friday Download Update

Much to the dismay of many bargain hunters, King Soopers changed its popular FREE Friday Download last year. The weekly offer seemed to just disappear and, then, randomly show up with no consistency or schedule. It was frustrating for many who counted on the weekly freebie. The ride was good while it lasted, with so many grocery items at no cost. For value-conscious shoppers, it doesn’t get much better than FREE.
