Free Webinar From PennState Ext: Health Insurance and Mental Health

If you didn’t know, PennState Extension frequently offers free resources, webinars, classes, and community events on lots of different topics.

Navigating Health Insurance can be overwhelming. Navigating health insurance for mental health can seem even harder sometimes. Penn State Extension has a free informative webinar: “Smart Choice/Smart Use Health Insurance: Smart Actions for Mental Health” 

“Smart Choice/Smart Use Health Insurance: Smart Actions for Mental Health,” is aimed at helping people understand how to use health insurance to pay for mental health care and manage expenses related to ongoing care.

This webinar will take place from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. March 26.

The program is designed for people interested in learning more about the management of health care, with a particular focus on prioritizing their mental well-being and strategies to effectively navigate the health care system and make informed decisions regarding their mental health care coverage.

You might be surprised to find that with some insurances you may not have to pay anything for counseling.

Attendees will learn:

— What is considered mental health care services.

— The importance of seeking early treatment for mental health challenges.

— How you can use health insurance to pay for mental health care and manage expenses.

This webinar is free, but attendees must register March 24 to get the access link. Those who register also will receive a link to watch the recording of the program.

My Favorite Freebies for February 2026

I sure do love a good freebie. I’m not a fan of the freebies where you have to click here, follow this page, search this stuff and then maybe, just maybe you’ll get an add for a free perfume sample. I don’t feel I should have to work that hard for a chance at getting a card with a small rub on fragrance. That’s if it works for you (It never has for me).

I’m also a fan of free events that possibly even hand out freebies.

No I like the solid free samples, rebates, etc from legitimate companies. I don’t even mind doing a short survey. With that being said, these are my favorite freebies for February 2026. I know the month is almost over, but, I found a few I liked.

Please note that free samples go quickly. Some are only available for short periods of time. For free events, be sure to double check times/dates in your area

  1. 4 free bags of Like Air Puffcorn after rebate
  2. Free Lawnmower build event for kids at Lowes
  3. Free terra cotta pot and clay craft event at Michaels

Looking for an e-bike deal? Look no further

A friend of mine got her husband an e-bike for Christmas a few years ago. After hearing about it, I thought it might be something I would use. Diving into the world of e-bikes I realized there was a lot of choices. There’s e-bike for mountain biking, there’s e-bike for everyday leisure, and e-bikes for that have more assist than others.

One benefit for me, I live in Pennsylvania. There are A LOT of hills, like a lot. In fact, my own house is built into a hill. People are sometimes afraid to come up (or down) our driveway, especially in the winter. As someone who hasn’t done much biking in a few years, I liked the idea of having a little boost to help with all the hills until I gain more strength and endurance.

While looking at e-bikes, I also realized, there’s a lot of brands out there. One brand that came up over and over again was King Bull. King bull is known for their fat tire e-bikes with options for mountain biking and every day riding.

King Bull has an awesome sale going on right now with e-bikes up to 50% off!!!

Plus if, say, you and your partner both want an e-bike, you can get an additional $150 off when you buy 2. Or maybe you can’t decide between a mountain bike or an everyday bike. Hey, I’m not judging. If you stumble onto this post after the sale is over, it’s ok. King bull still offers e-bikes under $1000. They also offer several payment options, including paypal and flexible payments through Klarna

An e-bike can be a great option to get around town, too. More eco-friendly, better health benefits than driving, or just quicker than a regular bike. If you’ve been wanting an e-bike, this sale is the perfect time for spring and summer riding.

Do you own an e-bike? What do you love about your e-bike?

Hershey Walk for Apraxia

On October 11, 2025 there will be a walk for children with apraxia of speech (CAS) at St Peter’s church of Middletown, PA. The event begins at 11:30 a.m. Registration is free and opens to all members of the community.

Get your steps in, meet new friends, walk for a cause, have some fun.

Childhood apraxia of speech is a rare motor speech disorder that makes it difficult for an individual to speak. Treatment includes intense speech therapy and sometimes other therapies to help an individual reach their highest communication ability, but there is no cure.  Raising awareness is one of the most tangible ways that communities at large can help children with apraxia thrive. Increased collective awareness means that children will be diagnosed faster resulting in better and earlier intervention.  

The funds raised through the 2025 Walk for Apraxia benefit Apraxia Kids, the leading nonprofit that works to strengthen the support systems in the lives of children with childhood apraxia of speech. This organization educates both families and speech-language professionals so that children with CAS can reach their highest communication potential through accurate diagnosis and appropriate, timely treatment.
