MYOilCloth Recap and 20% discount

Now that Shae is out of diapers I’ve been on the search for a great handbag that not only serves my needs but the occasional needs of a sippy cup and snack. MYOilCloth is the answer; a collection of distinctive, well-made, well-organized and fun handbags and totes.

Michele Sommer and Yvette Yelardy, creators of MY, are two designers with OCD (oilcloth desire) who absolutely needed to make a tote out of oilcloth. They searched the world to find a fabric that didn’t feel like your grandmother’s plastic tablecloth and when they didn’t find it, they created it. The MY collection pairs beautiful fabric design with functional shapes to fit your lifestyle. Their philosophy is that fashion should be fun, functional, and fabulously well-made.

Whatever you need or lifestyle you’re going to find a bag perfect just for you. The weekender says it all, the tall tote is just right for groceries and double zip fits a laptop perfectly. Traditional oilcloth was meant for sailors and fisherman and not really the prettiest design. Lately oilcloth has been used for eco-friendly home. MYOilCloth has but a spin on the dull and boring; a fashionable yet functional collection of handbags and accessories for ALL women.

My convertible bag is an over the body deep pocket bag with an awesome inside water bottle holder and inner pockets. The pattern is bright and friendly and perfect for the season. It also comes with the cutest business card holder. The best part is the material is durable and cleanable while still being fun.
See my personal video:

****FYI the bag doesn’t include the business card holder, it was a special treat from the MY ladies
Shop for yourself or for another lucky lady using this exclusive coupon code “Look” for 20% off your entire purchase. Hurry this offer expires June 4th, 2010. Visit MY on Facebook for select offers, giveaways and announcements.

Coupon Magic Organizer Recap

I wouldn’t call myself frugal but I do watch sales and clip coupons for groceries. True Couponing is the art of effectively using coupons in conjunction with sales, rebates and rewards programs to stretch those hard-earned dollars. There are tons of resources out there to get you started but you must start with one thing, organization; The Coupon Magic Organizer gives you that start.

Created out of necessity, working mom of 2, Tania Mings, created the Coupon Magic Organizer to help organize and utilize her coupons to the fullest. She needed a way to keep everything from her meal plan to the shopping list to her store flyers in one spot so that her grocery shopping would be smooth and best of all CHEAPER.

Organization is key for everything in our lives to live simpler, healthier and more resourceful. Grocery Shopping is no different. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gone shopping with a list but without coupons. I’ve also gone shopping without a list and was stuck with 23 vanilla yogurts in the fridge. I was sent a Gold Edition Coupon Magic Organizer to analyse, watch how it works for me:


My personal wish; I want a smaller binder option. Half that size would be perfect for me so I could carry with me at all times. That is really where I go wrong with using coupons, not having them with me while running errands or stopping in to grab a few things if we need something for dinner on the way home from something else. The system is great though; it’s packed with tons of information and great ideas and tools to implement immediately and change over time to fit your lifestyle, schedule and personality. Shop for your own Gold or Silver Edition systems using coupon code “MOMDAD” for 10% off.  Don’t need all the tools but just want to know how to start turning coupons into cash you can download the Instructional Manual for just $10.  Thats a small price to pay for a big payoff often in your first shopping trip after utilizing the methods.

Like promised here is a sampling of the list of websites recommended by Tania Mings to help you get started on coupon organizing & money saving bliss:
Upromise.com-everyday spending pays you back with money for college
Dealcatcher.com- online coupons, products, sales and rebates
Moneysavingmom.com-tips on stretching your dollars and live on less $$

Win your own Coupon Magic Organizer “GOLD Edition System”. This set includes: Color-Coded Dividers, 20 pages of 9-slot coupon pages (will hold 180 coupons), 3 Store Pockets, 3 pages of 3-slot coupon pages, Price Book (5 pages), Coupon Magic Organizer Meal Planner (12 pages), Coupon Magic Organizer Shopping List (12 pages), Fourteen Page Instructional and Savings Guide. The GOLD Edition does include the binder. To enter tell me how many times you go grocery shopping in 1 weeks time.

Horizon Organic Chocolate Milk, a healthy snack alternative GIVEAWAY-CLOSED

Remember when you were a kid and your parents would let you get the milk and that chocolate powder to make a yummy glass of chocolate milk. I do but can’t imagine these days chocolate flavored powder being the best choice for my children. With Horizon Organic Lowfat Chocolate Milk Plus DHA Omega-3 my problems are solved.  Not only is the Horizon Organic Lowfat Chocolate Milk Plus DHA Omega-3 premade for me but it is also a simple way to add calcium and DHA to my and my family’s diet. DHA Omega-3 is an important nutrient that helps support heart, brain and eye health which is not only beneficial but crucial to children.

The first night my kids had the Horizon Organic Lowfat Chocolate Milk their first comment was how chocolaty the milk was over our homemade chocolate milk. They liked how rich and creamy it tasted. My kids tend to be a pain in the neck when it comes to change so for them to enjoy this tells me that it’s a quality product. An added bonus it that it is organic which is something me and Melinda really like and try to look for when buying products. The one downside for me is that Horizon Organic Lowfat Chocolate Milk Plus DHA Omega-3 is not offered in a fat-free version. I know it is 1% already but for me I can taste the difference between 1% and fat-free milk but all in all it tastes really good. We have already went through three half gallons in the last few weeks.

Horizon offers a ton of products other then chocolate milk like regular milk, yogurt, cheese, cream, eggs, ice cream, cream cheese, cottage cheese and butter. With such a huge select of organic dairy products you can’t go wrong with Horizon.

In my opinion what makes Couponfield so cool is that you can print out coupons for brick and mortar stores in your area not online retailers.

Couponfield.com is simple to use. All you have to do is enter your zip code or city and state and let the coupon search begin. It is that easy. Seriously.

Shop Farm Rich for wholesome tasty meals and snacks

We’ve been snowed in for a few days. That means we did nothing but watch TV and eat and eat and eat. Sometimes it was a nutritious meal sometimes it was a satisfying snack. Farm Rich has been a part of our nibbling ways this week.

Our mornings often started with French Toast Sticks. These are usually meant for the weekends but with all the time in the world to do nothing we let the kids indulge in warm fulfilling breakfasts. Lunches were kept simple with cheese sticks or paninis and Tuesday’s dinner was family favorite Pasta with Meatballs, mozzarella and tomatoes. I never realized how much we actually shopped Farm Rich foods until we were sent coupons to try out free products and checked out their list of foods.  Alot of it looked familiar.

Farm Rich® products have been setting the standard for delicious, easy-to-prepare food the whole family loves. Farm Rich® foods taste like nothing else because they’re made like nothing else – with 100% real ingredients like real cheese, high-quality meats and fresh vegetables. Their snacks, appetizers, and breakfast foods are quick-frozen and carefully packaged so busy families can prepare great tasting food within minutes.

Visit Farm Rich for yummy recipes, new snack ideas and entertaining tips.

Healthy Strides from General Mills

What do you eat for breakfast? What about the kids? In our house cereal is King, especially Cheerios and Kix, add some fruit or yogurt and the kids are set for the morning either at school or for play.

General Mills has recently announced that they have committed to reduce the sugar content of some of their most popular ready-to-eat cereals. Ready-to-eat cereals also deliver important vitamins, minerals and nutrients, such as vitamins A, B6, iron, niacin and zinc, and cereal is a top source of key nutrients in children’s diets. Today’s cereals are more nutritious than ever. Every General Mills Big G cereal contains at least 8 grams of whole grain per serving, and more than 20 General Mills cereals deliver 16 grams or more.

These changes are refreshing since cereal is not only a breakfast staple but also a go-to snack at any time of the day. A bowl of Frosted Cheerios or Reese’s Puffs is a great on the go snack for the car or a walk to the park. Keeping the candy, chips and junk food to a minimum is important to me. Cereal is one of the healthiest breakfast choices you can make. Ready-to-eat cereal has fewer calories than almost any other common breakfast option.  Did you know a bowl of cereal with skim milk has approximately 150 calories versus a bagel with LIGHT cream cheese can have over 300 calories. Start the day off on the right foot with a nutritious meal without compromising on taste.

Try out one of General Mills kid-friendly choices by using this coupon for $1 off 1 box of selected cereals.
