It’s the most wonderful time of the year!  That’s right…Christmas time is here!  Who wants to battle with a cold or flu when you have so much to do and there is so much fun to be had?  Not me.

Connor’s in school and we all know little kids put everything in their mouths, they pick their nose, and they are a magnet for germs.  It seriously grosses me out.  I remember a couple of years ago all three of us got the flu really REALLY bad in our  family.  Connor was first, then me, then Terence went down too.  We felt so helpless and pitiful.  There was nothing we could really do besides lay on the sofa with a box of Kleenex and rest.  I can’t tell you how many boxes of Kleenex we probably went through!

Nobody wants to deal with sickness in their home.  However, you can be prepared to strike back.  We stock up on Kleenex and meds during this time of year.  So, if we do get hit with sickness we’ll be prepared for battle.We are big Target shoppers.  While shopping at Target I picked up a load of Kleenex to help get us through the cold season.  I also saved some moolah by printing a $1 OFF COUPON valid at Target. 

When Connor gets sick I know his favorite thing to do is lay on the couch with his blanket watching his favorite movies.  He’s also super snuggly when he’s sick (I don’t mind that part!)

I’m looking forward to a happy, healthy, holiday season!  Don’t leave your family in the cold this season.

Remember to print out your $1 off Kleenex 4 packs or larger coupon to shop at Target.

Here’s to a HAPPY & HEALTHY

Christmas season!!!

 

“I participated in an Ambassador Program on behalf of Mom Central Consulting (#MC) for Cardstore. I received complimentary cards and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.”

Remember a couple of weeks ago when I talked to you all about Cardstore?  Well, I finally got them in and I cannot tell you how impressed I was with them.  The paper and print quality was exactly what I had hoped for.  I’ve already mailed out all my cards and everyone has told me how much they love them! 

It makes my day to get a Christmas card in the mail.  I was so excited to send these cards this year and they embodied everything I wanted in my Christmas cards to family and friends.  The price was also very affordable and I’ll definitely be using Cardstore when ordering my future Christmas cards now that I know how awesome they are. 

Cardstore wants you to be able to own the top of the mantel this holiday season by sending beautiful and thoughtful seasons greetings to friends and family members.  Here is our Christmas mantle.  We haven’t got any cards yet….but I know when we do they are going to look great up there!

Cardstore is an innovative online resource that removes the hassle from mailing out holiday cards. Once you create your custom cards with personalized pictures, messages, and signature, Cardstore will print, stamp and send the cards for you – helping to take one huge item off your already full holiday to-do list.

In order to have cards arrive by Christmas Eve, orders need to be placed by December 16th.

So what are you waiting for get those cards in the mail you’re running out of time 🙂  Merry Christmas to all and to all a happy mailbox!

I have an exciting and FUN giveaway to share with you all today! As you all try to wake up from your turkey hangover and get excited for the holiday season.  One of my favorite brands, Coca-Cola, is launching a new mobile application that allows consumers to connect their smart phone directly to the revolutionary Coca-Cola Freestyle machine.

I’m sure some of you have seen these awesome Coca-Cola machines popping up in restaurants.  We visited Firehouse Subs last week and I took a few pictures while I got my made-to-order beverage.  Coca-Cola is an American icon, and one I associate with especially during the holidays. My favorite was the Dasani Sensations.  You can choose from sparkling or regular water and then add flavors such as peach, grape, lemon, raspberry, & strawberry to give your water some flavor.  So good!

The endless possibilities are cause for celebration, and I want to encourage you to go download the Coca-Cola Freestyle app, save your favorite drink, and quench your thirst.

This opportunity is available in participating Dallas Firehouse Subs until December 1, 2013!!!  

People across the country can download the interactive app creating and saving their favorite drinks.  In addition, the app also works with AMC and is exclusive to the DFW area.

From app to dispenser to the first sips of happiness, beverage lovers can download the new Coca-Cola Freestyle app to their smart phone and save their top five favorite brands from more than 100 available brands.

Then, by simply “bumping” their phone against the Freestyle screen or scanning a QR code at their favorite Dallas Firehouse Subs location, taste explorers can select and dispense one of their five favorite beverages

I’ve chosen my fave 5 and now you can too!

Check out all these DFW Firehouse Sub Locations below and remember to download the app before your visit.
