Born 2 Impress Giveaway

I have a little boy and I wouldn't change a thing. I couldn't imagine what I would do with a girl now! And, I don't have to because the girls in the family belong to my sister! They are the two prettiest girls in the world (uncontested!), and they would look so cute in adorable hair accessories. That's why I would love to win this:

Ally's Attic Giveaway

When I was a little girl, I used to picture how I would decorate for holidays "when I grow up." In my head, the holidays in my house would be out-of-control. More specifically, I pictured an overly-decorated REALLY enthusiastic space, no matter the holiday. Lights, wreaths, wall hangings, window decals, and more. That was my plan! Now that I am older (and wiser), I consciously try to stay true to that vision but in a way that's a little more muted. That's why I would love to win this:

Win It: Yoplait Kids Get Active Prize Pack

My little guy loves yogurt! He many different kinds, and I know he will soon become addicted to the Yoplait kids varieties. Like Briana, I am going to have to start avoiding the yogurt aisle if I don't want to get hounded! Fortunately, yogurt is a treat that is GOOD for him... but he doesn't need to know that. ;) That being said, I would love to win this giveaway:

SKOY Cloth Giveaway

I am embarrassed to admit that, although I have been trying to be more Earth-aware lately, I still use paper towels (and I use them more than I should). I use them to wipe my sons face after meals, to clean off the table, to dry my hands... I use them a lot. Sigh. I think it would be better for the planet to use sponges, washcloths, and rags, but I need to graduate to that point. Sponges smell and gross me out because are they EVER really clean? Rags are used for cat vomit, dirt, and chemicals. Washcloths are a nice alternative, I suppose, but even better might be something temporary yet totally biodegradable! That's why I would love to win this:

12 Nights Off For Mom! Plum Organics Giveaway

You had me at "12 nights off." Hee hee. Seriously though, these meals look (and sound) like they would be great. Healthful, organic, and a minor variety (perhaps that part will increase with time and interest). No stores within 30 miles sell this stuff, but I will investigate ordering online. Either way, I would love to win this:

I can't believe this product!! I love my crockpot, but this Slow Cooker Mate kicks it up a notch. You can cook different parts of a meal in the different chambers!

PureGreen24 Giveaway

OK, I have to admit something. I disinfect a LOT. I am grossed out by germs, and although I know that some germs are "good" to have, I know many are not. I carry a travel bottle of Lysol spray and Clorox Anywhere around with me because I need to disinfect the "bad germs" and Clorox Anywhere is safe to use around children. Now I come across this stuff and am even more excited!! So I would love to win this:

Tuga Sunwear Giveaway!

I get made fun of sometimes for how I dress my son in the summer (at the pool). He wears swim trunks (they're pretty long), a bathing-suit material shirt (long or short sleeve), and a big hat. Plus, I lather sunscreen on him. I just really don't like or trust the sun, and there are plenty of other times for him to soak up some vitamin D. I'm not a fan of all that sun from all over-- the water reflects it too! So I try to protect him as much as I can. That is why I would LOVE to win this:

Jack and Lily Giveaway

Ooooooooooooh if you know me AT ALL, you know I LOVE these soft-soled shoes. They are GREAT for little babies learning to walk, as the kids can feel the ground yet still have their feet protected. I love them even now as my little guy walks, runs, and jumps all over, to protect his feet in indoor play places, or to keep him from slip-sliding all over the place on hardwoods, yinyl, or tile.

Sisters Saving Hearts, Cheerios Helping Hearts

I am really touched by what Cheerios is doing for the benefit of finding a cure for heart disease. From now until 1/31/2010 (that is a LONG time!), Cheerios will donate $1 toward heart disease research and free cholesterol screenings for every code (found inside specially marked boxes of Cheerios) you enter on Cheerios Helping Hearts. They'll keep going until they hit $200,000. Let's help them hit it!!

My guy really loves Cheerios, so I am hoping we'll be able to help out a lot. I've been involved in the American Heart Association's Heart Walk for the past few years and let me tell you, it feels good to know that the efforts you make are going toward something you really believe in. Unfortunately, heart disease exists in my family and in the families of many people I care about, so this initiative is a pleasure to work for.

There's a giveaway for this as well which, surprisingly, is not the reason I am blogging about it (though I would love to wear this bracelet around town to show my support). Check out the details for yourself, and spread the word.

Also, think about someone in your life that could be considered a "Heart Hero." Someone who goes above and beyond to really make a difference in the initiative to make a dent in the world of heart disease research. I am really proud to say that I know so many people who fit this description. I am humbled by said people every day!

If you know someone in the African-American community who fits this description too, go to Sisters Saving Hearts (a wonderful site) and nominate them. They could win $5,000 to give to a charity of their choice. But hurry! You only have until March 14, 2009.

Thanks to Shynea at "Penny Punching Diva" for sharing this information. I am happy to be part of this.

Savespro $20 Giveaway!

Flexflop Giveaway

This idea is absolutely brilliant!! I have abandoned my shoes SO many times in my life (even on the streets of NYC... gross). That's probably why my feet are so disgusting.

So I am a huge fan of this idea and I would love to win these:

CVS ECB Intro

There are a lot of people out there who are really good at "CVSing" (I think this is a new term... if not, consider it coined). I'm trying to get better at it because you can find some really great deals there! I love me some CVS, and I love to get some great deals with my Extra Care Card (ooooh boy if you don't have one, GET ONE!) but what I love to do MOST is to get FREE STUFF.

My favorite deals are the deals that give me the amount that I spend BACK in Extra Care Bucks (ECBs, from here on out). For example, let's say I buy a product for, say, $2.99. When my register transaction is complete, I will receive a printout on my receipt of $2.99 in ECBs to use on my next transaction.

So you are kind of paying out of pocket initially but then when you get your ECBs back, you can spend them on the next deal! Watch out though... the ECBs do expire. So be sure to use them... because even with an initial out-of-pocket expense, you still end up breaking even (or in some cases, making a profit).

Keep an eye out for my CVS ECB posts. In most cases, they will only include deals that return 100%+ in ECBs (because those are my favorite!!). I always try to take advantage of these deals no matter what the product is (which is why I randomly have ear rinse, bladder control pads, and Metamucil in my house, none of which I would normally have) because I am a sucker for a freebie, and you never know what houseguest or friend might need them!! If I try the deals myself, I will let you know at the bottom of each post by highlighting them in green. If I haven't yet tried the deals myself but have heard that they work, I will let you know at the bottom of each post by highlighting them in pink. No worries... I'll put my "key" at the bottom of each post!

Good luck, and happy CVSing!

Introducing...

This is a new blog for me. I think this makes a total of thirteen that I have, with only one other being public. I actually really enjoy blogging, and have come to really enjoy reading others' blogs as well.

I have come across many blogs and other such sites that have links to coupons, deals, freebies, etc. that have really helped me to save money. These sites have become my favorite ones lately because I think they are so ALTRUISTIC!! They are owned by people (mostly mothers) who are really trying to help others save money. Well, that is my hope. And if that is the case, I am genuinely grateful...

It's ALWAYS important to save money, no matter your situation...

THANK YOU to all of these blog/site owners for helping me save for my family!
