-John and Amy are in the second week of potty training with their 3 year-old, Evan, and so far, he's been without an accident for three whole days. If Evan stays dry for an entire week, he gets to go to the circus when it comes to Augusta next month. They're keeping up with the progress on a handy potty progress chart that you can download here, should you need one too. Listener Kevin shared a great idea for potty training parents. On those days when you want to reward your little one for using the potty, take them to the Dollar Tree and tell them to pick out whatever they want. Kevin says "they're excited for the freedom - you're excited to get change back from $1.10."

-John's been working on his taxes and recommends a great website that allows you to e-file your federal return for free. Also, for those of us who work in one state and live in another, it does a great job figuring both state tax returns. The site is http://www.taxact.com/.

-John and Cleve have discovered the game "Angry Birds" that you play on your smartphone or iPad. Cleve is really bothered by the green pigs that taunt you and smile when you miss hitting them with the birds. John can't believe that his three year-old son is better at the game than he is. Look for the movie Angry Birds: Rio, inspired by the game, due out in April.

-We gave you another quick and easy recipe this morning during Simple Cooking with John and Cleve. Look for the breakfast casserole in the post below this one. Share your recipes with us at john@wafj.com. If we use yours, you'll get a thank-you gift.

Coming up Thursday: We'll talk to best-selling author and speaker Shaunti Feldhaun at 6:10 and 7:40. She has a new book out called The Life-Ready Woman: Thriving in a Do-It-All World.

Morning Show Notes - Tuesday, February 8th


-There's talk of snow for Thursday! While many of us pray for snow this time of year, we don't encourage it this time, since Winter Jam is Thursday. :) Forecasts seem to indicate that we won't have much of anything in the way of precipitation. Whatever we get should be out of here by afternoon, so as not to interfere with the crowd lined up for Winter Jam. Dress warmly as we're only expected to reach a high in the 40's.

We talked about ways that you stay happy during the coldest season of the year. Join the conversation on the 88.3 WAFJ Facebook page. We also talked to some in the 25% who say winter energizes them. Click here to find out why from listener Jennifer.

Morning Show Notes - Monday, February 7th


-Monday Morning Mindbender
Q: For the first time in its 45 year history, last night's Super Bowl was missing an element that most sports teams consider important. What was missing?
A: Cheerleaders
Chase Lord of Grovetown, with the help of his carpool, figured it out on the way to Plant Vogtle in Waynesboro this morning.

-Cheapie of the Week: Jessica Corbin of Augusta correctly guessed that it is Halls Cough Drops (30 count bag). Rite Aid has them on sale as a 2 for $2 deal with $1 back in +Up Rewards through Saturday (2/12). Use the printable $.35 coupon (1 print per e-mail address per computer), and if you're able to print two of them, it's like getting two bags of cough drops for $.30 plus tax. If you're a fan of Rite Aid's Video Values program, there's a $.50 coupon available that you can use too.
