Free Parents Mag for 2 years!

Just signed up... doesn't seem like a sham! You don't have to fill any information besides address and email. They say they will not send you a bill! Please don't bill me if they do =). It's worth a try, especially if you wouldn't mind paying for it anyway. Happy Parenting!






ps- There's a EA Sports Active giveaway! Be sure to enter. But not too many times, I want to win! =)

Free Papa Murphy's

Ok, so there's a blogger rumor going around that if you text MURPHY to 686868, you get a free medium pizza from Papa Murphy's! Another blogger said it worked for her- they respond after the text. you just show the text when you go to pick up your pizza. It's good until 6/30- If you're thinking of getting pizza anyway, might as well give it a try! Apparently the catch is they text you with deals and stuff. You can get out of it by replying “stop murphy.” Let me know if it works for you!! Happy Eating!

Memorial Day

It’s the soldier, not the reporter who has given us
Freedom of the Press.

It’s the soldier, not the poet, who has given us
Freedom of Speech.

It’s the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the
Freedom to Demonstrate.

It’s the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the
Right to a Fair Trial.

It’s the soldier who salutes the flag, serves under the flag and whose coffin is draped by the flag, Who gives the protester the right to burn the flag.

~Father Dennis Edward O’Brien, USMC

Happy Memorial Day to my husband, and all others who currently/have served!

Coupon Clipper

Well, this post is pretty self-explanatory. coupons(dot)com. If you haven't been to coupons(dot)com yet, you definitely need to check it out. It couldn't be easier to collect and print coupons- you do have to download a "coupon printer" but after that, it's easy as pie. speaking of pie... here's a good recipe we had the other night. A weight watchers point splurge at 7 points, but worth it! it was really easy, and really tasty.

freecycle

Ever had anything you would rather just give away then deal with selling? Check out http://www.freecycle.org/

It’s a great website that allows you to give away items, get items, even request certain items. When I found out I was pregnant with Harrison I was single and a live-in nanny. I knew in order to get everything I wanted for my kid I was going to have to settle for used items. Little did I know how wonderful and easy it is to do that! Kids things, like swings, highchairs, etc. don’t always get used all that much. Families are done having kids, but their stuff isn’t done being used! It still has a lot of life left. Think of how many parents go to Toys R Us, spend $150 on a swing, and their kid hates it and it gets used 5-10 times? Their loss can be your gain!

My husband and I got our changing table from freecycle.org. It is AMAZING! It had a few blemishes on the bottom shelf, but for free, I’m not complaining!
There’s lots of other stuff besides baby things- give it a try!

Since 11 AM my four-month-old has slept for about 2 hours total. If it was 2 hours in a row... eh, I could deal with that. It's this half hour crap that's going to drive me crazy. Not to mention the few nap attempts of my own that where very rudely interrupted. He's lucky he's the damn cutest baby in all of the universe. I truly have no right to complain, my parents get up with him most mornings when at 5:30 the final attempt for more sleep by putting the paci back in fails. When I get home, my world is going to change in a big way! Harrison's will too- being fawned over by 3 people all day long must be pretty nice. Now it's time to make dinner- I'm in charge, as my mom is working. I'm pretty hungry. But I'm not going to cry about it, unlike some people I know...
