You can get a $25 Restaurants.com certificate for only $1 right now when you use the code WOW at checkout.  Make sure you start at ShopatHome for your 25% cashback so your certificate will only cost you .75 in the long run.

I’ve used these certificates with lots of success before but please make sure you read the fine print before purchasing so you know what you have to purchase. 

What are you waiting for head on over and pick up a couple certificates today!!

Eww these things are gross.  LOL  Of course that just means that little boys seem to love them. 

The people at MomSelect and the Hexbug people teamed up and sent me a fantastic kit to host a party for the HexBug Nano.  Straight out of the box one of my favorite things about these little buggers is that there are no moving pieces and so there’s no way to get dog hair stuck in it.

Here’s Shawn and Daddy building a track and letting all the bugs loose.  We were given lots and lots of bugs and Shawn’s friends were able to take home a couple.

If you are interested in trying hexbug nano’s out for yourself they are available at Target, Walmart, and I’m sure all toy stores.  They are inexpensive and the kids seem to just love them.  If you have any let me know what you think.

I’ll be contacting you to send you your $5 giftcard courtesy of the great folks at Frebreze and Walmart!!

Ok I feel like I fell off the wagon, do you ever get that feeling?  Tomorrow is a new week and a fresh start so I plan on getting back on the wagon.

Now that we have a couple weeks of normalcy (I’m not sure I know what normal is anymore) we are going to get back on track.  Tomorrow will be spent cleaning the house and doing laundry YUCK!! plus I’ll be clipping coupons and make a plan of attack for all the local stores.  If I can get that sorted out tomorrow we will run out and make the rounds however if it doesn’t happen I’ll be more than happy to go Monday while Shawn is at school.

I’m also going to work on lowering the electric bill again.  Last month’s bill was too high in our defense it was hot hot and humid so even when it cooled off a bit you couldn’t open the windows because of the humidity.  With any luck the humidity will be taking it’s leave this month and I can air out the house again.

It’s probably time to revisit my goals for last month and see where we came in.  I know it’s not where I wanted it which is why I’ve been putting it off.  I need to find a more solid plan to make my savings goals come through.

So how has your savings been going??

Back-to-school time is here, and for most Moms that means back to car-pooling, homework monitoring and of course, packing lunches. It can be hard to come up with lunches made with real, simple ingredients that kids will eat and actually enjoy. Luckily, Hellmann's® and Best Foods® Mayonnaise are putting the fun back into lunch this September with their virtual Sandwich Swap 'n' Share program.

Celebrity chef Bobby Flay and actress/mom Lori Loughlin are teaming up with Hellmann's® to help re-launch Hellmann's® virtual Sandwich Swap 'n' Share on the Facebook® application (Facebook.com/Hellmanns).  This virtual version of the beloved school lunch ritual of swapping sandwiches will benefit Share Our Strength®, the leading non-profit organization ending childhood hunger in America.
When you visit Hellman’s Facebook page you’ll be able to create a sandwich, for every sandwich built Hellman’s will make a donation to Share our Strength.  Plus when you share the sandwich with a friend they’ll make an additional donation.  so head over and make a sandwich for free and help them get to $75,000!!

Disclosure: I will be receiving an entry into a giveaway for this post provided by Hellman's and MomSelect but all opinions are my own,
