All 100% free, so strings.
All You Magazine: Ok, so this wasn’t exactly free, but it comes with SO many coupons inside, and it’s such a great deal, that it had to be included! If you’re a coupon clipper and a deal junkie, you NEED to get a subscription to All You, it’s my VERY favorite. Get it here: All You Subscription, 0

The Burt’s Bees facebook page had a promo that I found out about on Free Samples MySavings, where you could pick a color of the new Tinted Lip Balm to get FREE for yourself and send one free to a friend too! Like them so you don’t miss the next cool promo!
Dog Food Coupon: This was a REALLY cool coupon for $5 off a bag of dog food at Walmart, making it almost FREE! I found this through MySavings.com MySavings.com coupon section, but you can also always check out the Walmart Sample section directly right here-Walmart Samples.
Kraft Free Product Coupons: I got this as a member of Kraft First Taste which you can sign up for too! They let you try out NEW products for FREE, and then give them your feedback about them. I got two FREE products, and two $1 off coupons. Excited to try them out.

NEVER shave your legs again.

Not what you expected in this post?

Hahaha. But seriously, I have been entering this once a month for a LONG time, hoping to win. I think it would be awesome, but I’d never spend the money on something like this. So I try to win what I can’t afford :)

Make sure to click the button that they can contact you, or they can’t call you if you win.

Once in a while, like 3 times over the last year I’ve been entering, I’ve gotten a call that I won a “runner up” style prize, and can get $300 bucks off of a session.

If you’re interested in getting it done, this would be a pretty awesome way to save some big bucks on it. I just tell them no thanks, and they don’t bother me again. Or just don’t answer when you see an unknown number!

Check it out and enter to win … I have a friend that won this last year, which is why I’ve been entering every month! If you DO win, come back and tell me so I can be incredibly jealous.

{Father’s Day} Crafts, Coupon Codes, Ideas, and More!

I’m quite a bit behind schedule today.

My baby girl wearing her daddy's hat, looks just like him here.

Baby’s surgery:

My baby girl had surgery yesterday. It was a minor procedure; she had a blocked tear duct that needed to be opened, but it required general anesthesia which scared the heck outta me. But it went great {I’m going to share a bit about it in a post later} and she’s home and looking good. But today is catch-up day!

While going through my {totally overflowing!!} email inbox, I saw tons of great Father’s Day ideas, so I’m going to share a round up here of some favorites!

Father’s Day Ideas:

Vistaprint: Get 6 FREE photo products. You can upload your photos from Picasa, Flickr or Facebook, use them to create cool personalized stuff like a mouse pad, t-shirt, calendar and more, get them all FREE + shipping, and give dad some really cool and unique presents. I use this all the time, the quality is great, and everyone loves these as gifts. Get started here . One of my favorites are their mini-photo books!

So far, I’ve had some amazing ideas sent to me! And the sign up only takes a second. Todays idea is from Alicia Silverstone: “sonic ties” that are hand-woven from recycled audio cassette tapes and and fabric. Each one is an individual work of art and believe it or not–they actually play music! For those of you that still have cassette players–if you run a tape head over the fabric, you’ll hear a sound collage. So cool. Check out Open Sky Click Here, sign up for categories, and pick who to follow! Easy peasy.
Dinner Out: Pick up some gift certificates at Restaurant.com and save up to 80% off. I do this a few times a year, and stock up on a bunch of certificates for places that we’ll be visiting in the next few months. This is such an amazing value, so check it out and see what they have in your town. Click Here, search by area, then pick all of the certificates your family can use to save! Think of any other holidays coming up so you can go out for all of them without spending a ton.
