Let's have a House Party!

Super excited about this new opportunity, I came across today! I have applied to be a host, through House Party! What does that mean? Well, I apply to be a host for companies as they become available. If they chose me, they send me a party pack full of all kinds of goodies! Then I get to invite you to share, play, & explore their products. How cool is that?!? Here are a few party's I have applied to host...

Fingers crossed!

ThredUp... your vitrual thrift store!

Nobody loves a good thrift store deal like me! But I don't always get a chance to peruse them as often as I would like. If you've got kids, I'm sure you've asked yourself (on more that one occasion!) "Didn't I JUST buy you those??"  Or how about that forgotten outfit in the back of their closet, with the tags still on it!? They grow so fast, it's hard to keep up sometimes! So here's an easy solution I have found...

Ever heard of it? Me either, until a friend introduced me to it recently. ThredUp is a "greener" way of shopping & saves you a ton! I like to call it a virtual thrift store. You can  purchase & sell your kids clothing!
If you want to sell, they send you this happy polka dot bag! You fill it up & send it back to them. They go through the bag, list the items for you, & calculate your credit! Then you get to spend it on "new" clothes! They are pretty strict about accepting only clothes in new or excellent used condition. Which is awesome, because you know that that's exactly what you'll get in return!

If you sign up now, you can get a $10 credit! Hunt around and find something for around $3-$4...and you can get something for completely free! Shipping is normally $7. But if you spend $40, shipping is FREE! Also, for the month of August, use the code AUGUST20 for 20% off your order!

Ooh La La! With any full-size signature collection purchase you will receive a free gift of  $15 value. I've been to one of these launches before & the goodies are always awesome! Looks like this one is a travel size lotion, candle, and a pocket-bac in a new fall scent, yummy!

Your Day Planner on Steroids... and $100 in discounts!

Holy smokes! I don't even know where to begin with post... I have a TON of good deals to share with you! I think I may have to divide this up into a few different  posts, or it might become a big 'ol information overload!
Ok, so first things first.... have you ever heard of Cozi? All I have to say is, HOLY FREAKIN' COOL BATMAN!! Any company, product, gadget, app., etc. that says it can organize and/or simplify my life, I'm game! Well, Cozi says...and Cozi does! Give this website/app five minutes of your time & I promise you will fall in love!

Basically, Cozi functions like your brain used to, before you had kids. It's your day planner on steroids.  It's your Calendar, To Do & Grocery List, Meal Planner, Journal, Sticky Note all rolled into one. But that's not even the best part... it's a FAMILY app! So everyone you want to have access to it does. "Honey, I need you to go to the store... the list is already on your phone."  Not only that, but they are a wellspring of awesome info and tips about pretty much anything you can think of. Best of all it's FREE. We all know I heart free! Take a look see below...

Cool, huh? And you thought I was done...nope. Cozi is offering a ton of awesome discounts when you sign up. I'm talking $100 worth of discounts! That right there is enough to make me want to sign up!


Like... Six months of ShopRunner for FREE! Uhm, guess what's in 5 months... Christmas. That means you can get free 2 day shipping, at tons of your favorite stores, through the Christmas season! ShopRunner also offers you perks like free return shipping, waiving the $1.50 delivery fee when you order pizza online from Domino's, and % off at all kinds of different stores.

They are giving you 10% off at Zulily! And what is Zulily, you ask? Well, it's like shopping at 100's of awesome little boutiques... but for WAY less...and from home. Their deals are wicked amazing.

Want $5 off at Mabel's Labels? They'll give you that too! You never knew you needed a label for "that", did ya?

You're gunna get $5 off at Schoolbags for Kids. Everybody needs a totally cool backpack like one of these. Or what I plan on buying... they offer a "One There Schoolbag" which is donated to a child in need for only $5 after the discount.







Also, 10% off at Laptop Lunches. These things are crazy cool!



You'll be getting 10% off at another FAV of mine, PlumDistrict! Similar to Groupon, but for ridiculously, cool Mama & Kidlet "things"!


That's not even all of the discounts! I am on a discount HIGH right now! I'm excited about Cozi & all the awesomness they are offering their members. I higly recommend you check them out.

If you don't already have accounts with ShopRunner, Zulily, or PlumDistrict, sign up through my link to earn both us us some money! Usually, they offer new members $5 off their first purchase... combine that with your other discounts & save even more!

Alright, so last, but certainly not least, you guys & dolls have been so awesome, I want to give something away! I LOOOOOVE giving you stuff. How about an 8x8 Photobook from ShutterFly? Show me some love, let's get to 125!

Christmas in July!

If you've been around here awhile,  you know Christmas is my FAVORITE time of year... well that & Halloween (can't wait!!)! So it goes without saying that I think about it all year long. Especially in July, when it's 100* outside & my face is melting off. (Don't get me wrong, I am a beach bum at heart & there is salt water in my veins!)

So, guess when I start my Christmas shopping? That's right, JULY! And not just because I'm anxious for cooler weather, but that's when I get the most awesome deals! Every July, Target marks down a RIDICULOUS amount of their toys 30%, then 50%, and finally 70%! Now, come 70% there is not a lot of selection left, but you can still get some steals! I like to get about 75% of my kids shopping done at this time of year. That leaves little for me to worry about in December & loads more time to do fun crafty things with my kiddos! Check out my Homemade Christmas posts from last year!

This is part of my stash... I wish I could show all of it to you, but my little ones are around! I plan on doing another post when I have finished my "Christmas in July" shopping!

Don't forget when shopping at Target, if the red tag ends in an 8, the price will be dropped again. If the price ends in 4, that is as low as it's gunna get, so you better grab it!

Happy deal hunting!

Oh... and you thought I forgot... TISHA HUGHES, you are the Cool K-cups winner today!!! Tisha you can email me with your info & I will send you your prize pack! Congratulations!
