Busy Mom Solution: Moonpig.com Saves the {Special} Day!

Introducing another great Busy Mom Solution: Moonpig.com!!

This is the problem –

You’re on your way to work, and suddenly remember that this weekend is {insert important person here – grandmas, husbands, best friends, etc} birthday!!! Ohmyheck – when are you going to have time to go pick up a card? Ugh. This happens to me all the time. Plus, I hate making a last-minute dash to a card store and having to rush and pick out some random over-priced card because I’m in too much of a hurry to pick a good one, and the baby is tearing up the tissue paper display while the boys play sword fighting with wrapping paper rolls. Anyone else have this problem??

The solution –

Set up an account at Moonpig.com!! Moonpig lets you choose your favorite cards, personalize them with names, photos, and messages – then mails REAL paper cards directly to the recipient!! How cool is that??

I totally recommend signing up for the prepaid plan, which is what I’m doing, since you know I’m all about saving money, right?

Join the Moonpig Prepay Club to save money and make ordering simple. For every $20 you add to your account, we give you $5 free! Just select ‘Prepay’ at checkout and your order is complete.

After you take advantage of this sweet discount, then here’s a great next step – set reminders in your account, to alert you to upcoming holidays, birthdays, graduations, anniversaries – so you never forget an important date again! Then, you can even upload your address book – making it super simple to send multiple cards.

Watch this super fun video to see it all in action –

So cool, right??

I made a few of these cards last night – and am a big fan now! Here are a few things that I totally love:

  • Personalizing with photos is super easy – even when you need to make “faces” – you know, where you cut out the shape of your head to add to a character in a funny pic?? Simple and the results come out great.
  • I love that you can personalize the inside of the card too! You can add messages to both sides of the inner part of the card – with your choice of fonts, colors, and signature. Super fun.
  • There is a HUGE selection! You can find something for every single person – super funny cards, classic designs, really fun stuff for kids, professional cards for work, and some incredibly cool invitations!
  • The price is totally reasonable! Each card will run you about $3 – $4 bucks – which is even cheaper than many of the cards you’ll find at Hallmark or the Grocery store, right? And these are way cooler – since you get to totally personalize them.

What are you waiting for??

Head over to Moonpig.com today, set up an account, upload your address book and calendar – and have one less thing to worry about!!! This is a great option to start setting up all of your holiday cards too – you could make a few personalized cards per day, set dates for them to be sent – and know that this year, all of your cards will get to people in time!

Did I just remind you that the holidays are on the way??

Yep, it’s true – the Christmas season is right around the corner. Here are a few posts to help you get ready – Santa’s Coming! 10 tips to help you prepare for the Holidays, an amazing Christmas Giveaway you can enter, and some great ways to stock up on FREE Christmas gifts – Kids Books, Pluto Ornament and Free Disney Movies, and some Cool Personalized Gifts too!

Rafflecopter: Win a NFL Jersey from Pet Super Store and Show YOUR Pet’s Team Spirit!

Due to some craziness that life threw our way, I ended up with an extremely blended household – including my brother and two nephews, me, the baby, and her dad, our dog Deuce, plus my mom and her 4 dachshunds…  So we are a VERY full house – full of kids, full of craziness, and full of dogs – but totally full of love! We’re also one of those families. You know, the kind that dress up their dogs for holidays and special occasions. Love it. I mean, Abby gets a new Christmas dress each year, why shouldn’t grandma’s dogs get one too? And the dogs would feel totally left out if they didn’t get Halloween costumes, right? {Yes, I hear some of you shaking your heads. I don’t care, lol.}

NFL Dog Jerseys from Pet Super Store!

My boyfriend hates all of this nonsense most of the time. A regular ol’ grinch he is. But for once, he was actually super excited to get Deuce a new outfit – Only because it was his new Seattle Seahawks Dog Jersey from Pet Super Store!! He is a HUGE Seahawks fan. We already had a sweatshirt for him, and a jacket for the baby – so it was about time we got Deuce something too, since they all watch football together.

Playing FootballLittle Seahawks Fans!

Like I said – I’ve got some serious Seahawks fans in my house!! Abby loved that Deuce had something that matched her own jacket, and ran to grab her Seahawks football. Too cute. So of course I had to let the two of them head on out to the yard to play, right? Deuce was SO excited to show off his football skills in his new NFL Jersey – you know how kids can run faster when they get new shoes? Well, he can RUN faster than ever in his new jersey! Watch the video to see him in action….

Why is this a Must-Have item for Pet Owners??

Double your fun watching pro sports by dressing your dog in one of our stylish NFL sports team jerseys or sweaters. Like your dogs, our dog jerseys come in sizes from extra-small to extra-large guaranteed to make your dog or pet the life of the party for any game at home or outside. Bark and cheer in style with Pet Super Store NFL team dog jerseys and sweaters. Note—Pet Super Store does not recommend painting your dog’s face to match yours.

Pet Super Store Jersey Gives Deuce Super Speed!

One of my Favorite things on Pet Super Store:

Our Low Price Guarantee states if you can find a NFL Dog Jerseys cost that is better then ours we will match it 100% of the time. We are working hard to find the best NFL Dog Jerseys available anywhere.

Get Ready for Festive Holiday Events!!

PromGirl.net

I recently got the chance to partner with PromGirl.net to review one of their dresses – which was SUCH fun! I never got to go to Prom or any fancy dances when I was in High School, which is such a huge bummer, because I love, love, LOVE getting all dressed up! I have loved being a bridesmaid so many times, since I adore picking out dresses, and I get super excited about holiday parties – since it’s another excuse for me to get glammed up!

Prom is still several months away for most schools – but I know that when I was in High School {things could be wildly different now. I’m over 30, which means I am totally old and out dated…} we had quite a few winter formal dances. If you have daughters who will soon be shopping for formal dresses, you have got to check out the selection on PromGirl.net!! There are so many pretty things to choose from… Oh, the girly girl in me was in heaven! And this site is NOT just for teens – if YOU have some fancy holiday parties coming up, there are loads of options for you too!

My Favorites:

I am totally in love with the dresses above! I know that when you think of Holiday dresses, most people imagine black or red – but these would totally set you apart from the crowd! The colors are so bright and festive, the cut is so flattering and flowy, and they look like they’d be amazingly comfortable and easy to wear! They’d make a perfect holiday party dress for you, or a fun prom dress for the teenager in your life – since they’re cute, and they cover up without looking too stuffy.

I also love this more traditional style cocktail dress! I am completely in love with the feathery black detailing at the waist, and the textured look of the skirt – it’s like a more modern version of Old Hollywood style. This is on my wish list – it would be such a fun dress to wear to my boyfriends company Christmas Party!

What is YOUR favorite?

There is such a wide selection of dresses on this site – from super funky and trendy, to very classic and simple – I guarantee you’ll find something that is perfect for you. They also carry a really great range of sizes, which is often hard to find in local shops. You can shop by size, by style, by event, by color – or check out the uh-MAY-zing prices on the Sale dresses!! {I found some under $50!! Wow, right??}

Enter to WIN a Dress!

Make sure to check out PromGirl on Facebook too – and enter their monthly drawing to WIN a FREE dress!! They draw a new winner every month, so make sure your daughters enter too!

What Holiday Events are YOU excited about?

Do you have any fun formal style events you’re looking forward to? Do you have kids that’ll be going to Prom or other fun dances this winter? I’d love to hear what you have coming up!
