For the Locals: Free Hockey Lessons for Your Child

This is really cool. My sons did this a couple of years ago and loved it. I will probably sign my daughter up for this one if she shows an interest as she is now old enough.

The Nashville Predators have introduced Get Out And Learn! (G.O.A.L!), a FREE on-ice youth hockey program, in association with Centennial Sportsplex and A-Game Sportsplex as part of the Predators commitment to the development of youth hockey.

G.O.A.L! has been created to offer youngsters the opportunity to experience the excitement of hockey without the cost of purchasing equipment. Designed for boys and girls ages 4 to 8 years old with no prior hockey or skating experience, this free four-week ice hockey program will introduce the exciting sport of hockey to kids while teaching life experiences of teamwork, sportsmanship and self-confidence as a child develops through athletic participation.

Participants of G.O.A.L! will receive on-ice instruction by USA Hockey certified coaches, complimentary hockey equipment, stick and skates to check-out during the 4-week program, official G.O.A.L! hockey jersey to keep as a souvenir, graduation certificate signed by Predators Head Coach Barry Trotz, progression sheet from local rink and much more!

Registration will begin on December 29 at 9:00 a.m. (Registration form will be posted at the above link at 9:00 a.m. on December 29. Online is the only way to register). Dates for the lessons are Wednesdays, January 12, 19, 26 and February 2 from 5:40-6:30 p.m. The location is A-Game Sportsplex, 215 Gothic Court, Franklin, TN 37067.

Just fyi, this is the ice rink in Franklin. They keep changing the name but it is the only one there.

Link Love: How to Cook Dried Beans in a Crockpot

I am all about making life easier. When I saw this post I was very excited to learn that I can start with dried beans and put them in a crockpot to cook without having to pre-soak them. While I would prefer to be so organized that I remember to soak the beans the night before, sadly it rarely happens. Check out Kalyn's Kitchen for instructions on cooking dried beans!

Nearly Free Game at Target!

Hasbro has some great coupons for games HERE. One of the coupons is for $5/1 Pictureka game. Yesterday while at Target I found the Pictureka Card Game in the playing card section for $5.24. I used the printable coupon and it worked just fine. It did not beep. So I was able to get a great kid stocking stuffer for .24! I suspect that this is available at Walmart as well.

Free Colgate Total at Walgreens

Being that it is cold and flu season, I am spending more time at the pharmacy at Walgreen's. While waiting, I picked up the free magazine.

In the magazine there is a Colgate manufacturer coupon and in the attached booklet there is a store coupon. Just out of curiosity, I checked the price of Colgate Total and it was on sale.
