9/13/2025 Weekend Freebies and Deals!

What I learned this week: One can still contract Pertussis despite being vaccinated against it. How do I know? Both my kids got it. I took yesterday off from work, and the littlest one and I saw the pediatrician, who confirmed that both kids had it (The big one saw a doctor the day before).

My house has turned into a medication dispensary. My kitchen counter is cluttered with medications, schedules, hand sanitizer, and Lysol spray.  The horrors persist, and so do I.

I’ve updated my list of freebies for birthdays in 2025, which you can find here.
