If you love shopping like me, you will definitely love the awesome deal that Macy’s has going on from Dec 10 – Dec 15. Macy’s has great brands like MAC, Lacoste, DKNY, Shisheido, Tommy Hilfiger and many others. I will be heading over the next couple of days to actually pick myself up a new purse. It is a Christmas present to myself. I’ll probably end up giving it to Bill to have the kids give to me, but at least I picked out something I want. Now, why do you want to go there between Dec. 10th and Dec. 15? They are offering all of their customers the friends and family discount! Who can’t use an extra 20% off their items? This is a great addition to the other great sales they have going on right now! You can Download the Macy’s Friends and Family Coupon right here and be ready to do some heavy duty shopping.

Wednesday, December 10th, 2008LensShopper
Sunday, November 30th, 2008If you aren’t lucky enough to have vision insurance or have vision insurance that will only pay up to a certain amount for your contact lenses, you should definitely check out LensShopper. Now, my vision insurance will pay up to $250 a year for contact lenses. That sounds like a lot, but if you wear contacts, you know it isn’t. That only pays for a couple of months of contacts, and then I pay out of pocket for the rest. My last order of contacts I stilled owed money on after they took the insurance off. That is where LensShopper comes into play. Their lenses are a ton cheaper than what I normally pay for my contacts! They even have even better deals if you order in bulk! I love that it tells me how long the delivery time is and whether or not the contacts are even in stock. Nothing is more annoying than ordering contacts, and then after you place your order, you find out their are backordered. I love that they even make it easy to find the best deals on their site by listing the best deals for each kind of contacts. If you just want to search out your contacts, you can choose to search by manufacturer, lens type, and even popular lenses.
Now, I personsally use the Focus Night & Day contacts. I found on their site that I can get a box for $40.95 (if I order bulk) and get free shipping! I love free shipping! That is a darn good deal for my contacts! I would save almost $40 off my normal order of 6 boxes! I can’t complain about savings like that! If you need contacts, you need to definitely check out LensShopper for all your contact needs!
Early Halloween Parties
Thursday, October 30th, 2008Yes, we have already started celebrating Halloween. That happens when you have a little one in preschool. Since I have to dress Madison up anyway, I threw Will’s costume on too.
This would win any 2 and under cutest costume contest, right? I love this costume. It does come with a cute little hat. However, no matter how hard I try, he won’t keep it on. Madison came home already with an entire bag of candy from preschool. She’s already figured out how to sneak some of it already too! They trick or treated in her preschool building. Plus, all of us parent brought candy too! I do feel the need to smack the parents that brought pure sugar candy. Trust me, Madison does not need sugar to bounce off walls. You can only imagine how she is with sugar.
Madison would win for cutest costume 3 and up, don’t you think? I love this costume. It sucks that I caught the window glare in her glasses, but she looks super cute in her Cinderella costume. It is suppose to be in the high sixties tomorrow, so we shouldn’t have to wear our coats out trick or treating. We then are meeting at my sister-in-laws and going trick or treating by her house. We also have a Halloween party on Saturday. We have quite a busy couple of days just to celebrate Halloween!
Though I’d have to say that the best photo I took so far, I took at her preschool today:
She looks so excited and happy! What are you doing for Halloween?
10 Things You Should Know About John Chow
Monday, September 15th, 2008Besides being an A List blogger, I’ll be honest — I really did not know too much about him. However, after seeing him at Izeafest (yes, I was too chicken to actually talk to him), I was able to make a couple of observations.
1. He is a blogger first and a celebrity/speaker second. He was the only blogger/speaker on the Big Money Blogger Panel that I saw attend the Izeafest Conference the entire time both days. He was always front and center in the audience. I was super impressed to see him actually blogging about the conference on his blog.
2. He is really nice. He talked to every single person that walked up to him.
3. He likes free stuff as much of the rest of us. Drew gave him an X-shot to play with, and I watched him and his wife play with it for about 2 hours. (Shhhh, I played with mine for longer than that. LOL)
4. He has been in three movies as a security guard!
5. He was surprised that Google who makes billions of dollars a year kicked him out. In that scale, he is just an itty bitty little fleck.
6. He is really, really funny. Don’t believe me? Watch this video:
7. He is normal person who likes to do normal things with normal people. Just ask Colleen who took him on a tour of Universal Studios on Sunday.
8. He joined in the IzeaHunt which was a crazy scavenger hunt we did. He was just as wild crazy as the rest of us. Don’t believe how crazy it was? Watch this:
9. He was constantly videotaping and taking pictures of everything. I don’t know why but it just surprised me to see that he was just as interested in everything as the rest of us were.
10. He just got a really cool new template on his blog. I have to admit I really like it. Its clean and well, I always like blue.

Box Tops & A $50 Giveaway Too!
Wednesday, November 12th, 2008First, you need to log into the Box Tops site and create an account. You enter your state and your school or if you don’t know that, just enter your zip code. I personally entered the school and state. From there, you are able to see how your local school is going. Now, how do you increase that number? Well, you can collect box tops with that logo on it. They also have a Marketplace. Now, until recently, I did not know about the Marketplace. This works so awesome too! There is a list of stores that will give a percentage of whatever you buy from them back to the school. There are stores like Avon, Gap, Kohls, Best Buy, Leap Frog, Target, and Walmart (this is just a couple of them — the whole listing is on the site). All you have to do is log into the Box Tops Site, click on marketplace, then click on the store you want to shop it. That’s it. Once you checkout, the percentage you purchased will then be applied to your school. If you are Christmas shopping online anyway, why not help out your local school (and if you don’t want to help any of them out, I’ll tell you the school we are sending our money too, and you can use them).
Did you know that Box Tops has donated more than $250 million to schools nationwide since 1996? Would you like to help raise that number? Then start collecting Box Tops and use their Marketplace to do your online shopping! To help you get started, I am giving away a $50 gift card to Barnes & Noble (thank you Barnes & Noble for your support of such a great program!). What do you have to do?
