BOGO Minor League Baseball Tickets

If you want to see a baseball game this summer, bring a wrapper from a pack of Kraft Singles to a minor league game. If you present your wrapper (just the wrapper, they do ask that you please leave the cheese at home, haha) at the box office, you can get a ticket free when you buy a ticket! This deal is valid every Tuesday until September 7th. To find a team near you, search here.

When I was a kid, my family went to Lakeland Tigers games all the time. My brothers and I loved it! I really want to take my boys this summer and this a great way to make that happen!

How to Build your Stockpile

Friend Family Savings posted a great post about stockpiling. I love that she mentions that you don't need a pantry or lots of space to have a great stockpile. I live in a small apartment and using coupons has helped me become more organized and learn to maximize the space available. We have a cabinet under the sink in both bathrooms that are full of bath products (I use baskets, too), the shelves in the laundry room have all of the laundry products, large stuff (toilet paper, diapers, ect) goes on a shelf in the boys bedroom, I freeze anything I can, and use all the space in the cabinets I do have.

I need to warn you. Once you start using coupons to create a stockpile, it becomes a game and you might end up with 12 unopened deodorants under your sink!

Happy Birthday to Me! Giveaway for you!

Tomorrow is my birthday. I'll be 27! So, in honor of my special day, I decided it was time to give you a chance to win some free stuff!

I was sent a bunch of samples of got2b smooth operator lustre lotion. My hair has the potential to do anything I want and look incredibly good, but most of the time, I just put it in a clip. It's hot and I never have the time to make it look decent. So, with that being said, I am always on the lookout for quick and easy hair solutions.

The samples I received are average size for a sample, 0.35 oz, so I was thinking each one would be enough for one or two uses. My hair is past my shoulders but this is one of those products that you really can see a difference with just a small amount. I noticed a difference right away. My hair was smoother, shinier, and smelled great! I even tried it on my 4 year old. I asked him a few hours later if he had been playing with lotion or candles because he smelled really pretty. I would say, for that reason alone, this is not a hair product to share with your husband.

Here is what got2b smooth operator lustre lotion is and does:

  • Recently reformulated with an indulgent cashmere infusion
  • Protects against heat damage from our favorite heat styling tools and contains a UV protectant
  • Comes in a sleek and modern 6.8 oz dispenser with a newly improved pump and unique charm
  • Perfected for use on all hair types, wet or dry
  • Features a luxurious fragrance fit for a goddess
  • Suggested retail price of $5.99
  • Part of a full line of göt2b® smooth operator products
  • To apply, pump the lotion into your hand and distribute it evenly through towel-dried or dry hair and style away
Overall, I loved smooth operator. It was quick, easy, and made my hair look good for a long time. It even did ok in the killer Florida humidity!

Where To Buy: got2b is sold in most major retailers and drugstores.

 Win it! I will pick three people using random.org to win one of three got2b prizes. Two of you will win two sample packs, a $1 off coupon, and a $2.50 off coupon. One of you will win a coupon for a free lustre lotion or hairspray and a $2.50 off coupon. I will pick the winners on Monday, June 21st.



Disclosure: The samples and coupons were sent to me by BzzAgent in exchange for my honest opinion. I did not receive any other compensation for this review.

DVD Review: Hermie - Who is in Charge Anyway?

I have read many of Max Lucado's books, both for kids and adults. My very favorite are the Punchinello and Wemmicks books. I bought two of them before I even had kids because the story and message resonated with me. That being said, I had not read or seen any of the Hermie and Friends series.

Who is in Charge Anyway? is the story of Freddie Flea, a seemingly average repairbug. While fixing the Ladybug family's TV, he overhears a conversation between the little ladybugs and their mother, who says Freddie is special because he is their friend. This makes Freddie sad because he feels like all of his friends have a special talent like being strong or brave but he doesn't. After a long conversation with God in the garden where Freddie lives, he realizes many other bugs are useful in spite of their "flaws."

Here is my son's review.
Me: "What did you think of the Hermie movie?"
Him: "I really really liked it but it wasn't that funny. And like, those people, they didn't concentrate on what they were doing. They looked around and didn't watch where they were going."
Me: "What do you mean?"
Him: "Let me tell you. Hermie didn't watch where he was going. He looks around too much."
Me: "What was your favorite part?"
Him: "When the boat started sinking. When the water came up high."
Me: "Would you tell your friends to watch this movie?"
Him: "Yeah."
Me: "Ok, thanks, you can go back to playing cars."
Him: "But I need to say more. There's this thing that doesn't like to, like somehow, it's not very cool and it's called a bee. It isn't cool and doesn't like anything so I don't know what it likes."

So, there you have it. The raw opinion of a 4 year old. I do agree, Hermie was a little shifty eyed. The boat scene was one of the memories Freddie was having about Hermie. God told Hermie to build a boat so he did and saved all of his friends because their garden become flooded after days of rain. The bee was another of Freddie's friends. He wasn't cool and was bullied by the cool bee until he saved him from a venus flytrap.

As a mom, I liked this movie because I can let them watch it without worrying about what they will hear or what kind of commercials they will see. It teaches God's truth so it makes me happy. Plus, it's an hour long and my kids actually watched it!


Disclaimer: I received a copy of this DVD from booksneeze.com to review. I did not receive monetary compensation for my opinion and I was not required to write a positive review. .

Help a Reader!

I had someone ask me if I knew how to save money on printer ink. She has a laser jet printer and the cartridges cost about $70! They do last much longer than ink jet cartridges but it's time to buy a new one. I'm not sure of the brand but I thought maybe someone could help us all out since I don't know and my research isn't turning up any great solution. 

Do any of the office supply stores have savings programs that might help? Is there a place to buy laser jet ink (online or otherwise) that is consistently cheaper? Any and all ideas are welcome. She is a reader so you can post your comments here and I'll let her know to check back.

Thanks so much in advance!!
