Planning a graduation party? 2008-03-04 16:35:00 If you're like me and you have an upcoming graduation
party to plan, then you may be interested in this website I found. It's PaperDirect.com. They have all kinds of paper products... including graduation themed border paper to print invites on.
Their prices are alright... but I found one deal that's pretty tough to beat, even with the cost of shipping. The style called "New Grad" was

InboxDollars Update 2008-02-27 15:22:00 Ok, so a few weeks ago I posted about earning cash online. I had seen an ad for Inbox Dollars and was wondering if I could earn money by taking surveys and reading my email just like I earn free gift cards with MyPoints.

Diaper Deals 2008-02-18 13:49:00 Wow, it's insane how quickly we go through diapers, wipes and diaper genie refills now that we have two kiddos.

Because of this, I get really excited when I find good diaper deals. I've never paid full price for diapers, and I Read more:Diaper

Step away from the paper napkins and no one gets hurt 2008-02-13 12:45:00 One of the easiest ways to help the planet is to consume less. And just over a year ago I made it my goal to limit my consumption. I wanted to find the little, easy things that I, myself, could do to help the environment.
It started with switching from paper
towels to washclothes for cleaning up my daughter after meals. Then I switched to using CFL bulbs, washing laundry in cold water, and

The house renovations (now complete) and the impending arrival of Baby #2 (C-section scheduled for 1/22) have kept me too busy to even think about Christmas shopping.
Anyway, this is incase you wanna start your shopping and incase you

Junking the Junk Mail 2008-01-08 12:12:00 Is your mailbox crammed full of junk mail each and every day? Between the endless credit card offers, the bulky and annoying catalogs and the other useless advertisements, you might even be afraid to open your mailbox. I know I was. But not so much anymore.
Really, something can be done about all that waste. See, awhile back I discovered Ideal Bite and all of their awesome tips on becoming
Works For Me Wednesday: My Little Helper 2008-03-12 10:10:00 If you would peek into my kitchen right about now, you would notice that it was pretty darn clean. The dishes are all done and the floor is sparkling. Now, a few months back, this never would have been the case.
Part of the reason was because I was prego and huge and tired. The other reason was because I felt unable to do anything while my daughter (almost 2) was up and destroying the house/ Read more:Helper

I'm talking about ditching those horrid plastic bags and switching to reusable cloth tote bags when you shop. I had been wanting to switch to cloth bags for awhile and finally made the switch about 6 months ago or so.
This is how it went. I happened to have several cloth tote bags Read more:Saving

Competitive Shopping (It's a Sport) 2008-03-17 13:40:00 While hubby and I were out shopping this weekend, I started to think about how shopping can be like a game or a sport, or even an art. At least to me it is.
We were running around to various stores, my coupons in hand, and trying to score as many sales as possible. We went to CVS, Acme, Fashion Bug, Walgreens, Petsmart and Toys R Us. We used tons of coupons and mostly shopped the sale and Read more:Competitive

Works For Me Wednesday: Leftover Snacks 2008-03-19 11:52:00 You know how having leftovers for dinner never seems that appealing? Well the same goes for snacks. Atleast in our household, anyway.
We often end up with several different snack packages open in our snack cabinet. And guess what? Once they get down to only a small amount remaining, no one wants them. Even my daughter (almost 2!) has figured this out and often gets tired of the same old snacks. Read more:Leftover
