I must say my feet are happy!

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

Wow! Thanks Mom on the tip about Naturalizers! These are the most comfortable pair of shoes that I have ever owned! *dies* I liked them so much I turned around and ordered two different pair of shoes from their site… a black and a white pair of dressy shoes for church and when I am out somewhere nice! They’ve got a great selection to chose from under their sale catagory! If you visit retailmenot you can get some great coupon savings codes too!

It would have been a joy to have these when I was pregnant and no shoe made me happy except for my Crocs…lol

My Shoes… Natural Sport Goes!

E-bag Coupons

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

I am all about being frugal, finding deals and saving money anytime I am out and about shopping. And why shouldn’t I be the same way when I shop online? About more than half of my shopping is actually done over the internet!  Trust me when I say that I am always looking for a great deal. I was just telling my Mom over the phone yesterday about these coupon sites online that share promotional codes that give you a better deal on just about anything you so happen to purchase online.

One site that you should be sure to check out is Savings.com they offers thousands upon thousands of promotional savings codes! Having more than 3,000 different discount codes with their eBags coupons from more than 400 different online stores, in more than a dozen different categories, who could ask for more?  Do you need free shipping? Don’t worry they’ve got you covered! Want to save on travel, electronics, clothes, toys for your kids, and more… yes, they have promo codes for all of that too!

I wish someone had shared sites like Savings.com with me a lot sooner than just this year, I would have saved a lot of money! At least now I know amd my parents can save money and my oldest sister too! I feel really happy that I was able to help and I am so glad there are sites like Savings.com to do just that!

One great Label Maker!

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

As a stay at home Mom, free lance graphic designer, and soon to be home school Mommy the products found over at Dymo  would be ever so helpful to me! I am big on keeping things together but no matter what, things always seem to get so unorganized! One way to keep things together for me would be to use their file folders. I’ve got graphic project drafts, receipts, invoices, and more to keep organized and that can be an easy to hard to do task when I am juggling so many other things and especially now when I’ve got an extra little responsibility.   God knows my husband could use one too… he’s always losing things like his bills and whatever else! It drives me crazy!

Well, I know I’ll be trying to stay very organized when my little one hits the books! She’s only 3 months old now but trust me, I know time will fly!  The label maker will make it easy to keep her school work projects organized by labeling her folders, notebooks, and whatever else! I know when I was a kid that a label maker would’ve made  things a lot easier for me.  I used to try to keep a color system of my notebooks but that never really worked to well! This little handy piece of equipment would also be great for organizing my home video collection. The possibilities really are endless!

I recommend these to anyone who wants to make their life a wee bit easier!
