Howard B. Wigglebottom Giveaway

Thank you to The We Do Listen Non Profit Foundation for sponsoring this giveaway!

Howard B. Wigglebottom Book Review

Howard B. Wigglebottom Learns It's OK to Back Away

Written by Howard Binkow, and illustrated by Susan F. Cornelison.

Let me give you a little background on this series that is geared towards children ages 4-8. Howard B. Wigglebottom is a bunny who learns a lot of life lessons, a new one in each book. These lessons include listening, bullying, sportsmanship, telling the truth, and generosity to name just a few. There are 10 books in the series so far with a new one on Courage to be released soon. These books are available through The We Do Listen Non Profit Foundation. They have an excellent goal  "Our intention is to enable children to enjoy their inner peace and communicate in a more effective way".

In Howard B. Wigglebottom Learns It's OK to Back Away, Howard is having trouble controlling his temper. After a few mistakes at school where Howard pictures himself as a ninja bunny, he receives a time out for losing his cool. Then his friend, Ali drops by and gives him some wonderful advice. Tell yourself, "It's Ok to back away." (Wish all children had friends like Ali!) Learning to recognize his anger for what it is, and trying a few simple tactics, like counting his fingers, helps Howard to achieve a peace about things that would have brought out the angry ninja bunny before. 

Happy Father's Day

~How about a little Father's Day clip from Disney/ Pixar's BRAVE 
in theater's this Friday, June 22nd. =)


  

*Set in the rugged and mysterious Highlands of Scotland, Disney•Pixar’s “Brave” follows the heroic journey of Merida (voice of Kelly Macdonald), a skilled archer and headstrong daughter of King Fergus (voice of Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (voice of Emma Thompson). Determined to change her fate, Merida defies an age-old custom sacred to the unruly and uproarious lords of the land: massive Lord MacGuffin (voice of Kevin McKidd), surly Lord Macintosh (voice of Craig Ferguson) andcantankerous Lord Dingwall (voice of Robbie Coltrane), unleashing chaos in the kingdom. When she turns to an eccentric Witch (voice of Julie Walters), she is granted an ill-fated wish and the ensuing peril forces Merida to harness all of her resources—including her mischievous triplet brothers—to undo a beastly curse and discover the meaning of true bravery. Directed by Mark Andrews and Brenda Chapman, and produced by Katherine Sarafian, “Brave” is a grand adventure full of heart, memorable characters and signature Pixar humor. Opens on June 22, 2012, in Disney Digital 3D™ in select theaters.

Saving Money with Coupon Chief

As you all know, I love to save money, and shopping online by using coupon codes saves you money! Just came across this awesome website to find coupon codes= Coupon Chief. Here's a few ways this site separates itself from others that are out there, in my opinion.   

Organic Gardening- Rascally Rabbits Invade

Photo- courtesy of freerangestock.com

I am sure you all have seen the shows... cartoons and others, where the rabbits come in, and just wipe out the veggies in the mean ol' Farmers garden. He tries everything to fix the problem, but they just keeping robbing him blind. We all laugh and stuff, but now I see why that farmer was so irritated!!! 

Our lil urban garden, had a few visitors from this furry group, and they ate 3 of our 8 romaine lettuce plants down to the dirt in one big feast!!! Grrrrrr

Well, since I am trying to be "earth friendly", and have an organic garden without any type of chemicals or harming any native creatures.... including those lil furry robber rabbits, we had to get creative on how to stop them. Not to mention, I am trying to garden on a very tight budget!!!! So buying those cute little white wire fences, or buying pretty much anything was out of the question.

Meet Our New Family Member

Just a Random Post to introduce our new family member.......  Shadow!!!

My son, holding Shadow. 

She's a lil rescued kitten! We brought her home on Sunday. Her fur is blackish/brown with white tips on the back ( a frosted look) and white fur blended with the black on her back paws. Can't wait to see what she ends up looking like. LOL

We lost all of our other 3 pets over the last 3 years. We were still mourning, and haven't been ready for a new pet until now. I didn't want to get a rebound puppy or kitty, and must admit I still get emotional over the loss of our other pets. Loved them like they were my own kiddos, and took each of their passings really hard. {Just a softy, I guess.}

One for the Baby and one for Mommy!!!!

My new project.... an organic garden!

Now that school is out for the summer, I have started an organic garden! I am so excited to try this whole organic gardening thing out! 

We have, what I jokingly call, an urban garden. Our backyard is so tiny that I have had to get a bit creative on where I am planting. Thanks to my very willing to help hubby, since he found out we could save a bit on our grocery budget over the winter, I now have some really cool plots. 

Snack-Sack from snackTAXI Giveaway

Here it is... the greener way to pack a lunch.... thanks to snackTAXI!!

 snackTAXI has graciously offered a snack-sack to one of my readers!!!

Have sandwich. Will travel...With my snackTAXI Sandwich-Sack!!!!

Are you looking for ways to use less plastic? Have you ever thought about exactly how many plastic baggies your family goes through each year? I try to recycle, read my emails from a few "green" places, and felt I was doing my part. Then I heard about snackTAXI, the original reusable bags for snacks and sandwiches since 2003! snackTAXI is a Green America Approved Business, and doing their best to reduce the amount of waste that goes into the landfills with their reusable products!!!

snackTAXI sent me their sandwich-sack to review. The first thing I noticed about my sandwich-sack when it arrived was ....it is super cute! The sandwich-sack is also well sewn and very study. The stitching is heavy duty.  I love all the different designs they come in. A design to fit your own personal style! Their products are washable, and that high quality stitching is sure to hold up through it! Perfect for when you are on the go or for school lunches.

***FREE*** Tampons at Dollar General Store

Just scored some free tampons at Dollar General Store....

First of all I had previously purchased a box of RepHresh Brilliant tampons from CVS... and received extra care bucks back for the purchase making them free (this was months ago ...not a current deal)

Inside the box was a $1 off coupon(no expiration).

                                                            

Here's how to get them for FREE!

 (if you already have a coupon)

Buy 1 box RepHresh Brilliant Tampons 

(Super or Regular)  $1.00

- $1.00 off manufactures coupon 

__________________

Free + tax!!! 

Believe it's worth a trip to your local store to check and see if they are only a $1! If you do not have a coupon to start the rotation... it's still a great buy.

 **I went to 2 different Dollar General Stores in my area, and both had the tampons in the dollar section. Each box did have the coupons inside them too. Wooo HOOO!!! Can't beat FREE!!!

3 Ways Shopping Online Saves $$$$

You can snag awesome deals and save some green by shopping online.

 The first place I go to find a great deal is always the sale ads, but sometimes what I'm looking for just isn't in the ad. Should I give up and pay full price? NO... of course not!!!! You can find great deals, and save money by shopping online. Here are 3 ways I have found shopping online saves me money.

1.  You can shop around without spending money on gas.

 Let’s face it, gas prices should influence where you choose to shop…. If the store is 10 miles away, and you will save $10 buying what you need there. Is it really worth the extra 20 miles in gas to drive to that location and back? Nope, not to me! Especially when you consider wear and tear on your vehicle, and the gas to go that far.  In this instance, I always shop online.

  

2.      You can save money by using a promotional code.

Even though you cannot shop with all those clipped coupons in your binders, boxes, or files online, you can use a promotional code!!!!  A great place to find these codes is promotioncode.org. Codes will save you $$. You can find codes for anything from food, clothing, travel, electronics, gifts, toys….. the list goes on and on. These codes are free to use, and you can still shop at your favorite stores.

3.       You can shop in your pajamas or in your "I know it has a hole, but it’s so comfy" T-shirt and jeans!!!

 Ok, this one may just be silly, but you all know what I’m talking about. Sometimes you just don’t feel like going shopping…. I’d rather just shop from my dining room, and let the kiddos play! Maybe this doesn't save lots of $$, but it does save time and energy. Any busy Mom or Dad knows more time at home with your kids is priceless!

~Since I'm always on the lookout for ways to save some money.... Would love to hear of any great buys, promotional codes you have found, or other ways you save money by shopping online. =)

How often do you shampoo your carpets?

 Just returned home from purchasing carpet cleaner solution. We do not really have a set schedule for shampooing our home, and I'm sure it shows.... LOL.  Right now my son's bedroom carpet smells so bad, and it has to be cleaned ASAP! He apparently spilled chocolate milk in his room, and covered it up with his bedroom floor rug!!! Boys.... {sigh}

 So I am getting ready to shampoo, and was wondering how often do most people actually do it? Just wondering.... ;)

**By the way, there's a bunch of great carpet cleaning and other cleaning coupons available in the Savings Center right now.

 Including one for save $5 off a Bissell Carpet Cleaner rental from Lowe's. {Found under the household category}
