This Baby Shower Invitations post was brought to you by Tiny Prints.  All opinions are my own.

 

For a while, it seemed that everyone I knew was pregnant or had a baby that was just a couple months old.  Every weekend, I had another baby shower to attend.  While some of these ladies had cute baby shower invitations, many did not.  Tiny Prints has some super adorable baby shower invites.

Ways to Save Money when Shopping Online

This Ways to Save Money when Shopping Online conversation was brought to you by Coupon Chief.  All opinions are my own. 

savemoneyonline Ways to Save Money when Shopping Online

 

When you mention coupons or couponing to people, they usually think of extreme couponers.  We’ve all seen them – the people with their giant binders and their carts full of 9,000 bottles of ketchup.  Perhaps you remember your childhood of having to cut out millions of paper coupons from the Sunday paper?  Well, couponing doesn’t have to be like that. 

I’ll even admit it – I print coupons and cut them out when I remember to buy a paper.  However, I rarely remember to bring them with me to the store.  If I’m shopping online, though, you can bet that I’m searching out to see what kind of deal I can find.

I have a secret to share.  Come in close, and hold on to your hat.  I just got my first ever smart phone earlier this year.  Whoa, right?  What took me so long, you ask?  I’m not really sure.  It was partly the cost, and partly the belief that I thought I didn’t need one.

Giving Back with Johnsons Baby Care

May 17, 2013 By Leave a Comment

“I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for JOHNSON's Baby. I received a promotional item as a thank you for participating.”

 

motherbaby 575 x 431 Giving Back with Johnsons Baby Care

As an only child, it’s totally up to me to make sure that my mom knows how special she is.  That means there’s no chipping in on an awesome gift, no one to brainstorm with, and no partner in crime to plan anything. 

This year I think I surprised her, though.  I sent her flowers, but sent them to her office.  Since I have no siblings, there’s no one to see the flowers and for her to say “Do you see what your sister Greta did for Mother’s Day?”

Make Informed Family Planning Decisions + A Contest

May 15, 2013 By Leave a Comment

This family planning and birth control discussion is part of a sponsored campaign from Bedsider.org  All opinions are my own.

They go by many names.  Nightstand.  Bedside table.  Shelf.  Mini chest.  Whatever type of furniture you have next to your bed, chances are really good that you have a myriad of treasures in it.  But what kind of treasures?  That’s the real question. 

What do I keep in my bedside table?

Lip Balm

Yes, this is one thing I cannot live without.  I think I am literally addicted to it.  And, no.  I’m not using literal as an exaggerator.  I generally have 3 or 4 different brands, types, or flavors.

Where Have You Been?

nyquildayquil 575 x 431 Where Have You Been?

I don’t know if you noticed, but I’ve been laying low for a while.  It’s basically been since around Christmastime, but I’ve been posting less and less.  I mean, there are a few weeks there where I posted once, maybe twice a week.  Long-time readers know that is VERY unlike me. Where was I?  Did I have a nice vacation? 

I wish!   I wasn’t feeling well, and I thought I had just a touch of a cold, or maybe I had contracted the dreaded flu.  I decided to lay low, and just take it easy.  After kicking around the house for a couple days, cabin fever was starting to kick in.  On top of that, we were expecting inclement weather, and I needed supplies.  My mom came over, and she was going to take me to the local grocery store.

My First Crush

February 5, 2013 By 5 Comments

Luc Robitaille My First Crush

One of my very first tween-slash-teen crushes was Luc Robitaille.  Waaaayyyyyyy back when. he played hockey for the LA Kings.  And he was dreamy.  He had a dark, curly mullet, because all hockey players seem to go for that look.  Nowadays they call it their flow.  And he  a soft French accent.  That accent was not lost on me, even at the tender age of 10 or so. 

Mix in the fact that he was a pretty awesome hockey player, and I was totally hooked.  While other Kings fans were all about Gretzky, I knew better.  Lucky Luc was the one to watch!  One of the local tv stations used to go do remotes at his house.  When they did that, my mom would let me stay home from school.  Just so I could watch my love on TV.  I saw he had horses, so I started taking an interest in horses.  We would have so much in common!

Go Back to School with Ivy Bridge College + $1000 Tuition Discount

January 21, 2013 By Leave a Comment

I attended college way back in the stone age – the late 90s and early 2000s.  When I was in college, we didn’t have the option of attending classes online.  Oh no.  We had to actually get up, and get dressed, go to the campus, and sit there for hours upon hours.  And because I’m a glutton for punishment, and want to get on to bigger and better things. I would schedule all of my classes in one day. 

We would also need to go to the campus for everything that we needed.  Ready to register?  Down to the Registrar’s office and hope that there‘s still room in the classes you want or need.  Have a financial aid question?  Head over to the financial aid office.  Need your student ID?  Well, that’s taken care of at the Student Government office.  You could easily spend a whole ‘nother day running errands around the campus!
