We have a winner! Chosen completely randomly by rafflecopter, Heidi Wiskur won a digital copy of Bountiful String Quartet‘s New CD. I know she will enjoy that!
We are swamped with schoolwork at the Grocery Shrink house. And I’m having too good a time cleaning, doing laundry, and catching up on my mending basket to blog. Oooooh, and I got a new laptop! Darren accidentally dropped my old one and while we got it to come back on, it wasn’t working quite right. He came home with a mac instead. It’s quite an adjustment but I’m already in love. I told him, “once you go mac, you’ll never go back, lol.” Now I’m trying to figure out how to buy him one too. But until then I’m figuring out how to use this thing :).
I’d also like to give a shout out to my Sponsor’s:
First is Sandi Sullivan at MomCEO.com If you are looking a way to earn money from home while using natural cleaning, beauty, and nutrition products, you should see what she has to offer!
Next up is Your Jamberry Nails Consultant, Heidi Perkins. She can hook you up with fashionable and long lasting nail decals. I tried them out personally at Christmas time and loved them. The company has since improved them to make them even easier to apply! And the designs are buy 3 get 1 free. Think how popular you would be at the next slumber party!
Of course, there’s our favorite personal trainer, Holly Rigsby from Fit Yummy Mummy. Holly’s program is designed especially for the busy mother who’s willing to trade in hours of cardio for 90 minutes of her specially designed workouts a week. I took the plunge 18 months ago and will never look back! Goodbye belly. Hello muscle. I write more details about my Fit Yummy Mummy journey over at my second blog: Centsablyfit.com
If you are a beginner and want to bake light, tender 100% whole wheat loaves of bread. Then Breadclass.com is the place for you. Lori Viets will teach you in her easy video lessons how to save money and bake your family delicious and healthy bread.
Don’t forget about Grocery Shrink Plus. Where members download weekly meal plans that include 7 days of breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks; gluten free and dairy free modifications. Helps for the Fit Mama; a shopping list; a meal plan at a glance and an action plan at a glance. You won’t believe your eyes when you see how affordable it is!
And then there’s Swagbucks. Swagbucks is a search engine similar to Google, except they pay you in swag bucks for using it. You can trade your bucks in for gift certificates to places like Amazon and Target. There’s no adware and they don’t sell your email address either. It’s the real deal.
Then there’s Zulily. Zulily is a bulk buying coop for baby, maternity, lady and kids stuff. Since it’s a limited time bulk deal, they can offer reduced prices. Just recently I bought 2 spring jackets for $15 each and a stretched canvas wall art for Heather’s room remodel. I’m just in the planning and gathering stage for this so far :).
One King’s Lane is like the zulily for home decor. I haven’t actually ordered from them yet, but I love to get their emails and look for ideas.
Yay! It was so surprising to hear that; I’ve never won any of these giveaway things! I cannot wait to hear it! 🙂 Thanks again, Angela!
So happy for you Heidi! I know, of all people, you can appreciate music like this :).
Ooooh, new laptop! DH wants a mac, but since I already have to find the print button for him and locate his documents etc I’m not letting him pick 😉 ! Can’t wait to see Heather’s room! What did she decide for a scheme?
Kelly, Darren went and bought himself one last night…he “found” some money in our budget somewhere, lol. And the kid’s computer completely blew so he was motivated to get a new one and trickle down the old one. Heather still hasn’t decided, but her wall art piece came yesterday. She loves it and it got her wheels turning. I really think I’m going to have to just surprise her. I know her pretty well and think I could nail it. But first we have to get through the master bath, kitchen, dining and laundry room monster project. I think we have someone coming to bid the whole thing tomorrow–getting excited!
Great sponsors
