Ice Cream in a Bag

Thursday, June 23rd, 2011

Soooo going to have to do this with the girls this summer!

This is from one of my favorite magazines.. Disney’s FamilyFun!  We subscribed almost a year ago and the girls and I love, love, love it!!!  It is a great present for kids .. they always love getting mail and my girls absolutely love the magazine! So many cool crafts, recipes, etc.

I know, I know.. I sound like a sales person.  I am NOT AFFILIATED with Disney or the magazine in any way!  Just a very happy subscriber. ;)

Lovin my Swagbucks!

Tuesday, December 21st, 2010

Join Swagbucks and get 60 Bonus Bucks! This is an awesome program. It’s so easy to earn “bucks” and you can trade them in for gift cards to Paypal, Amazon, etc. Click here to join.  This has been one of the best rewards programs I have found yet.  Most people are able to achieve 450 bucks in a few weeks, which is what you need to get the most popular $5.00 Amazon.com gift card.  So it is super easy to start earning great gifts!

I simply use swagbucks to search just like you would with Yahoo or Google and earn bucks. I can do surveys, daily polls, etc to earn even more bucks each day.  And occasionally they will release codes that you can enter to get extra bucks!

Right now they are are offering an extra 30 SwagBucks when you enter the special code JoinIn2010 while you are signing up, which means you get 60 bucks just for signing up!

Mama got a new pair of shoes!

Tuesday, December 21st, 2010

I just have to share… I found a great place to get shoes cheap!! I had been eyeing these Sketcher’s Shindigs – Miracle  for months now.  The place I normally shop finally had them on sale but of course my size was sold out in the color I wanted.  So that did it!  I decided to shop around and see if I could find them on sale.  I’m so glad I took the time to look around.

At long last, I have these beauties on my feet! Thank you to ShoeBuy.com, I was able to get these shoes for just under $28.00, whereas they were $40.00 at my normal shoe site.  And they are offering a $10.00 off coupon for all new signups right now!

Sketcher's ShindigsIf you are wanting new shoes, check this site out. I know it will now be my ‘go to’ store for sure!

Even better, you can enter coupon code EXPRESS and get FREE Express Shipping for Guaranteed Holiday Shipping.

Here’s $10 off at Shoebuy.com

Save on shoes, accessories, handbags and apparel at Shoebuy.com. We’ve got something for everyone and for a limited time, you can save $10 on that special something. Valid on purchase of $50 or more.

!! HOT DEAL !!

Wednesday, November 3rd, 2010


This is 50% off at Amazon today! Those using swagbucks and getting Amazon GC’s, you could potentially get it for free by using your GC’s!! ONLY 1 HOUR and 40 MINUTES left to get it though!!!

For those who did not read the thread on swagbucks or do not know what it is…

How does Swagbucks work? Swagbucks is a free search engine. You sign up for a Swagbucks account, start searching, and win swagbucks that you can trade for cool things like Amazon gift certificates (I ordered 5 Amazon GC’s last month and 3 so far for September), Paypal money, Target, and you can even donate your swagbucks to plant a tree or other charities! When you search, you’ll see ads up at the top (just like other search engines) and basically they are giving you a cut of the advertising dollars they earn.

How I use swagbucks is like this: I make it a point to do a few searches everyday until I win some Swagbucks. The amount varies each time, but every time I win I am super excited.. that is more extra $ towards Christmas shopping for my family. The SB’s add up! Once you hit an amount that you want to cash in, you can check the Swag Store and trade in the bucks for prizes. It’s pretty cool. I like that it’s free and you don’t have to do much to get the Swagbucks.

When you sign up, I would love it you would use my referral link! I earn Swagbucks from the referrals. Then, have all your friends sign up under you and you earn swagbucks when they earn them too!

If you have any questions.. holler
