Changing the Focus of My Blog..

2011-07-25T20:24:00.000-07:00

I am very sorry that I have not updated my blog in .. well... a LONG time! I have been busy enjoying being a Mommy to my sweet little girl Emma who just turned 1 ! :)

There are so many amazing coupon blogs out on the web.. I decided to shift my focus and write a Kindergarten blog! I will post exciting ideas for my classroom to share with teachers, parents, etc. I think this will help me become reenergized for school- I don't really want to go back! I LOVE being a stay at home summer mommy.

Thanks for all your support!

$20 off if you donate 4 non-perishable items!

2010-11-06T15:53:00.001-07:00

I got this off of Hip2save.com and she found this from another reader! Currently right now at
Strasburg Children's stores ( We have one locally @ Turkey Creek!) If you donate nonperishable food items then you will receive the following off:
Donate 2 non-perishable food items = $10 off entire purchase
Donate 3 non-perishable food items = $15 off entire purchase
Donate 4 non-perishable food items = $20 off entire purchase

This is only valid in the store- not online! I looked online to see what I would buy and they have rather expensive clothing, however, they have adorable hairbows ranging from 6.95 and up! I would love to have more hairbows for Emma Grace! I hope to head out there this week to donate my non-perishable food items!

Also, it doesn't state that you can't use this on clearance items- let me know what kind of deals you find! :)

Green Halloween- National Costume Swap Day!

2010-09-20T20:18:00.000-07:00

This is just too good not to share! Even though it doesn't happen in Tennessee yet, there are plenty of other states still participating ( like my home state of Indiana- Yay Hoosiers!)

On October 9th, if you live in Florida, Indiana, Illinois, New Jersey, Minnesota, Oregon, Pennsylvania or Washington, there is a Halloween Costume Swap Day! The reason? Kids are in and out of the costumes so quickly, why not swap them. How it works- Bring a Costume and Get a Costume! What a GREAT idea!!

I'm a Mom!! :)

2010-07-31T08:52:00.000-07:00

Hello Friends :)
I apologize for the long long gap between posts! But I had a wonderful reason... Adam and I welcomed sweet Emma Grace on June 27th at 1:07 am. We were surprised to have her early- since our due date was August 15th. After 10 days in the NICU, we were able to bring our sweet girl home. God has been so good to us.. we felt peace about everything- thank you for your prayers. We are thankful to have Emma early-- we've been able to love and adore her.. I never knew how much you could love someone! What an amazing love! :) I'm going to attempt to continue to blog...but not as often!

Free $25 Gift to Kidelicious for taking short survey!

2010-06-17T09:07:00.000-07:00

I just completed the survey and was emailed a coupon code for $25 off my first purchase. I’m not sure whether you’ll have to order more than $25 or pay shipping, but I thought it was still worth taking a few minutes to do.
Kidelicious.com, an online kids’ food store where you can find all the major brands plus a wide range of hard-to-find items and healthier options, is offering $25 in free food in exchange for taking a short survey. I'm excited about the free $25 to use in January so I can buy baby food for Emma!

Their website will not be open for business until January, 2011, but they are offering everyone who takes their survey an email coupon for $25 off their first order. I will send out a reminder on my blog as we get closer to the opening of this new store! Hope you'll check it out too!
