My 365 to a size 5 giveaway

Lauren over at My 365 to a size 5 is giving away a three month membership to Weight Watchers. I would LOVE to try weight watchers points system, especially since they will take into account the fact that you are a breastfeeding mom so I can lose weight without worrying about any breastfeeding issues. However I cannot afford weight watchers for the 20 or 25 pounds I want/need to lose (12 left from this pregnancy weight and another 10 from the last two pregnancies). I just cannot justify it this soon after the baby was born. In another six months if the weight is still with me, well that will be another story.


BUT Lauren is giving away a 3 month membership to weight watchers that I REALLY want to win. If you want a chance at winning it go visit Lauren at My 365 to a size 5

Planning Dinners

In my last post I talked about my need to save. And what is one way to save? Plan your dinners around the sales flier for your favorite grocery stores. This is something I do each week, but what happens when you get tired of the same old dinner, over and over again? I know I have fallen into that rut and need to get creative.

Erin at $5 Dinners is giving away copies of her cookbook, The $5 Dinner Mom Cookbook, for the next few days. She started the giveaway on December 22, but I just found it today (gotta start reading blogs more often again!) She is giving 10 copies away each day through the end of the giveaway so if you want one go over and visit her at $5 Dinners.com. You can enter each day thorugh the end of the giveaway.

My Blog is Good to Me

I started this blog partly as a way to just write my thoughts down. I also wanted to share my ideas with anyone who could use them. Although I am not writing about living on one income as often as I thought I would I certainly am getting to write about being a stay at home mom a lot! And there are a lot of you out there who are great about sharing with me and supporting me!

I never thought I would get things free from doing this blog. And it all started with my Yo Baby giveaway. Something else that I never thought I would do. I got some great free stuff and so did one of my readers.

Now I get to go to Boston and take my kids to the children's museum there for free! Stonyfield invited me and my children to the Boston Children's Museum for an event they are presenting with Stonyfield CE-YO Gary Hirshberg. I am going to listen to him talk about explain why choosing organics is more important than ever for your family’s health and the health of the planet – and how consumers can change our current food system for the better, things I am really interested in. They are providing daycare for my kids during the event and lunch for us afterwards. In addition they are giving us free passes to the museum to be used that day or afterwards!

At first when I was invited I thought, "That sounds awesome, too bad I can't go. It is during the week and on a day I need to work." Then I started thinking, why not? I can rearrange my schedule with enough notice to my boss. I can drive to Boston, my kids don't have school so no problem there. Although I did not want to go alone and Jon can't take the day off, he is planning another day off in just a few weeks for another event. So I called my mom. She is thrilled to go.
So now I am going. I am super excited.

I have many reasons for being happy I started this blog (which is probably why I started another one). Stonyfield just gave me another reason. I will post about how the event goes later this week along with pictures.
