My piece-of-crap computer now has a stinkin’ virus, so I haven’t been able to stay on top of emails or posts. I have my hubby’s laptop right now, so I am going to attempt to get caught up. I am so very behind, but have tons of great stuff to tell you about!!
So, I found this great resource called Mamasource. Here’s just a glimpse of the benefits of joining:
- Meet smart, friendly Moms like you in your area, online or in-person
- Ask any question and get detailed, helpful replies from Moms who have “been there”
- Access their extensive archives of past advice, recommendations, and local business reviews, all written by other Moms!
It’s 100% free to join and it’s a safe way to put your self out there in your community!
The Moms are at it again with a fantastic giveaway… One I wish I could keep a secret, since I am in dire need of a new vacuum and spending a couple hundred dollars on a good one just doesn’t fit in the budget right now. Anywho, I won’t be so selfish, because I’m sure all of you would like to win one just as badly (probably not, but I don’t want to sound desperate!). Hop over and find out how you can win a brand new Oreck XL Ultra at 5 Minutes for Mom.

There was a fabulous article in Woman’s Day recently which included some great money saving tips and ideas for thrifty family fun. One of the websites they mentioned was one I wish I had checked out back in December.
As most of you remember Ray, Noah and I went to New York just before Christmas. Well, have you seen the official New York state tourism website, ILoveNY.com? It is chaulk-full of all sorts of fun information… Like tons of facts about the state, where to stay, and what to do while you are there. You can even find out how to save money in restaurants! If you are heading to this fun state for a visit any time soon, you’ll definitely want to check out ILoveNY.com!!
There is a fun online contest where you can win $1,000,000. It’s a new, free online quiz show – the Now You Know Better $1,000,000 Game Show and Sweepstakes - sponsored by I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! You can win a $1,000,000 grand prize by answering trivia questions online. In addition, there is more than $40,000 in other prizes up for grabs, including spa weekend getaways, premium kitchen equipment, and more. The game was developed in partnership with MSN and is hosted by comedian and actor John O’Hurley. You can also find delicious recipes and a 75 cent instant-print coupon for I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter.
In family news — Julia gets her cast off tomorrow!!! YAY… we are all so excited. She has been such a trooper through these last several weeks, and has even managed to get around pretty well without crutches (see yesterday’s WW – she even wrestled with Daddy!).
For now, we’re off to a pre-screening of The Spiderwick Chronicles… I’ll let you know how it is!
