Odds & Ends

liked-following

I hear lots of you are unable to see my Facebook posts over the last few days. Apparently Facebook has made yet ANOTHER change as to how they choose what you see. 🙁 It’s frustrating and hard for me to keep up with being Facebook savvy- but I hear there are a few things you can do to improve your chances of seeing my posts. On the Totally Target Facebook Page (and any other pages you are not seeing posts for anymore)- you can check for the following things…

1. If you hover over the “Liked” button on the Facebook Banner and check off “Get Notifications”

2. Also when you hover over the “Liked” button choose “Show in News Feed” and then click on “settings” and then choose “All Updates”.

3. Be sure you are Following my page- by clicking on the “Follow” button next to the “Liked” button and it will now change to “Following”.

4. The more you interact with my page by liking posts, commenting or sharing them etc, the more likely my posts will show for you.

Hope this helps!

-Thanks for the tips & help to Haley, Jennifer, Heather, Roo, Tony, Michael & Karen!

Reader Tips on Storing Battery-Operated Toys

Odds & Ends

removing-batteriesWith all the Target toy clearance going on, some of you have really lucked out and have been able to gather gifts at a fraction of the cost for the upcoming Christmas holiday, Birthdays and more, I got a couple of e-mails with some good advice that I thought I would pass along.

Many of you may already do this- but Michelle wrote in a reminder that when it’s possible- it’s always a good idea to remove the batteries from toys that will be stored for an extended period of time. There’s nothing worse than discovering a toy doesn’t work and the culprit is corroded batteries- so better safe than sorry.

I also got this same mention about removing batteries from Tish- who also had a suggestion if you have ever discovered a corroded battery compartment… “while sometimes it’s a lost cause- when it is not that bad- I have found that I have been able to use a little witch hazel or rubbing alcohol on a Q-tip to clean out the compartment and get things working again. It’s worth a try anyway since these products are pretty inexpensive and something most people would have in the house already.”

-Thanks for your e-mails & suggestions to Michelle & Tish!
