How to Get FREE Old Navy Clothes!!

I just got this AMAZING package in the mail today from Crowdtap and I am SO excited! It’s even better than I had expected.

Party Host…

I applied to host an Old Navy Shorts Party, and was so excited when I found out I was picked for this event! I’m new to Crowdtap, and this is my first product party. I expected a few coupons, since it had stated the party would be for me and 3 friends. But this package is sweeeet.

Free Spring Stuff…

The {super duper amazing} Crowdtap sent me a coupon that I can use to not only get FREE shorts, but also a FREE spring top AND a FREE spring accessory, no price limit!! AND… I have three coupons to give to my girlfriends to come and try on the fun new Old Navy Spring Fashions with me!!

Awesome, right?

So, I seriously reccommend that you join Crowdtap today! You earn cash points for doing quick polls, participaing in discussions, and giving your feedback to brands that need it.

Then you can redeem those cash points for Amazon Gift Cards, and they also donate a portion to a charity of your choice, which I think rocks.

Sign up now!!

And you get to apply to host product parties like this one!! So check it out, and join me at Crowdtap, you’ll love it!

{P.S…. If you’re a fan of FREE Amazon Gift Certificates, which I assume you are, then make sure to check out Swagbucks too, that’s how I get most of my Amazon freebies!}

{Summer Fun} Best Ice-Pop Molds, all $10 or less!

School’s Almost Out!

I was browsing Amazon this morning for some deals on summery, outdoor, type stuff for the kids to play with, since school is out starting at noon tomorrow!

To help me cut down on housework, I want those boys playing outside as much as possible! Lol. Our new house has a huge property, {and a pool, if we can ever figure out how to get it clean! The previous owner hadn’t opened it in a couple years, and we’re stuggling… But that’s another story…} so I want to get some fun stuff to help encourage them to play out there.

Super fun stuff!

I came across some of the cutest ice-pop molds ever- so many that I can’t even decide which ones to buy! We don’t have any, so I think a couple would be fun.

Check out my “cool” finds:

Super fun, right? The boys LOVE ring pops, so I think these would be a huge hit! And they’re on sale for less than $10 right now too.

How fun are these little sailboat pop molds?! You get a set of 8 for only $10!

Or, get the robot pop! My youngest nephew would LOVE this one, and I’m pretty sure I have to get it. It’s a 6 pack for $10.

These ice cream cone shaped ice pops are super cool too! See what I mean about too many choices??

And of course, you can’t buy an ice pops mold without getting a recipe book too, right? This one looks really good… You can browse some of the pages, and the ideas look amazing.

I Love Summer!

I’m so excited for summer, although I’m not looking forward to the “I’m bored” claims that are soon to come with school getting out.

I really do love spending most of my days outside when the weather is nice, {oh how I long for a laptop so I could work outside…} and hope I can get the kids excited about it too.

Share with me!

Starting Monday, I’ll be posting new ideas for kids activites every day throughout the summer! Crafts, games, recipes for snacks, cool stuff to buy or to do…. If you have some great ideas, I’d love to hear them! You can email me at sunshineandsippycups@gmail.com. Send me links to cool kids summer products you sell, or to some fun kids ideas on your blog. Or just tell me about your favorite things to do at YOUR house! I’ll credit you in the post if I use your idea :)

A Wireless Color Printer With Multiple Personalities

This weeks Twirl…

If you thought Cybil had multiple personalities wait until you get a load of our latest must-have gadget–the HP Photosmart Premium e-Printer, one of the most interesting home printers we’ve seen yet. On the one hand it thinks it’s a high-quality wireless color printer that knows the difference between documents and photographs, on the other it believes it’s a computer whose touch screen interface (with apps!) allows you to order movie tickets, download recipes and print news articles without a computer in sight. It has delusions of being able to print anything emailed from anywhere and, if that weren’t enough, it claims to scan and copy too.

It’s madness. Madness we tell you. Well, watch this week’s session, uh we mean Twirl, to see if Carley can get to the root of the many personalities of this personal wireless home printer.

So, what do you guys think about the amazing product this week??

I’m not gonna lie. I’m in love. Is it weird to say that I’m in love with a printer? Of course not, not when it is clearly so super awesome, right?

Oh HP Photosmart Premium e-Printer, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways….

I love that you can send things to the printer while you’re away from home, and they’ll be printed and waiting for you!
I love that it knows the difference between photos and documents, and prints them on the correct paper.
Oh yeah, I love that it holds BOTH types of paper in one tray, so you don’t have to switch all of the time!
I love the modern design. Super cool. The touchscreen with the app’s? AWESOME.
AND, I even love the price!! $199 is a steal for this.

So there you have it. Another amazingly super rad product brought to your attention by the Digitwirl girls! They find the best products out there, and then show you how to use ’em. Why? Because they rock.

What do you think? Have you seen a better printer? {I haven’t!} What is your favorite feature? Leave some comments and lets chat!

Quick Beginner Couponing Tips!

Check out some of my favorite coupon sites, and get the newest coupons to save YOUR family more money on groceries!

You don’t have to be a couponing expert to save money. Start small:

Check out these sites, and find coupons for products you KNOW you’ll be buying anyway.

Add them to your store reward card or print them out and clip.
Put ’em all in an envelope, make a list on the front of which coupons you’ve got, and make sure to pick up those items while shopping.
Hand your envelope to the check out clerk.
See your savings add up!
It really is that easy peasy, I promise :)

So, here are some great coupon sites you can use to get started:

I’m sure you’ve heard of Coupons.com, they’re a big one. Browse through their selection, and print out your favorites.

Cellfire is a really cool one that I’ve become a big fan of. You simply choose the coupons you like, and then add them right onto your store reward card. Then they are AUTOMATICALLY applied to your purchase, without needing to clip and carry any coupons at all! Some stores even let you stack these on top of your printed coupons!

Sunday Coupon Preview is a really cool site, it allows you to get a “sneak peek” at the coupons coming that out in the next Sunday paper. Very cool, check them out!

RedPlum Coupons is another really great site for printable coupons. I find a lot of our favorite brands here!

So, go and check them out, and discover which sites will work best for YOUR family. And if you have any other sites to suggest, leave me some comments!
