Mom's-To-Be or New Mommies!

When you think of May, you think of Mother's Day. This month I would like to post different things to honor or help out mom! Last month I focused on "Going Green as a Family". I will continue to add things as I find them to the linky so be sure to check back if you are looking for ways to Go Green!

The linky on this post will be focused on things for Moms-to-Be or New Mommies! I know several people who are about to be mommies which is very exciting. One of them is my sister-in-law! If you have posts or find posts that can encourage, help, be a money saver, giveaways, etc. focused on these special mommies, please post here and share with everyone!

Walgreens at a Glance

Since I am under the weather, I am in great need of more sleep. I will try to get to posting all my store deals tomorrow but for now, here are some of the FREEbies that stuck out to me at Walgreens:
  • Bayer Breeze2 or Contour Blood Glucose Meter $14.99. Get $14.99 MIR.
  • Ecotrin $2. Get $2 RR.
  • Nivea Body Wash 16.9oz $4.99. Get $4.99 RR.
  • Rembrandt Toothpaste 2.6 or 3oz or Mouthwash 16oz $5.99. Get $5.99 RR.
  • Bayer Quick Release Crystals 4ct $2.49. Get $2.49 RR.

If you haven't heard already, Walgreens has decided to do away with their Easy Saver Booklets. This makes me very sad because now there will be less opportunities to double up on coupons! They are in exchange going completely to Register Reward (RR) deals. Some of these will be FREE after RR each week and others will just be discounted.

What do you think of this change at Walgreens? Do you like it better or worse? Leave a comment and let me know what you think.

Reader Advice

I'm sure a lot of you are feeling the affects of the changing weather with allergies or spring colds. I have been hit with one as well.

I have been suffering from severe congestion and what feels like swollen glands on both sides of my throat that feels like it is attached to my ears. This makes me think I have some sort of sinus infection. The bad part is that I am a nursing mom so most medications are off limits to me.

I wanted to solicit solutions from my readers. In honor of April being Earth month and to support my running theme of "Going Green as a Family", I wanted to see if any of my readers had any natural solutions to get rid of sinus infections or cold/flu.

If you have an all natural solution, please leave a comment below or link to a post that you may have written or find. I am trying to convert my home slowly to all natural, earth-friendly products. Some of the best working products are those that are homemade. If you have any advice or solutions, please share with everyone!

Going Green as a Family Giveaway #4!

Have you heard of Shidonni?
It is a new interactive world for your kids to demonstrate their imaginations and creativity. Here, they are able to create a whole world from just their imaginations. This is also a great way to help the environment. Instead of buying coloring books and crayons for your kids, let them really draw and create over and over with no extra cost! This saves on paper and crayons as well as allows them a clean slate whenever they choose!
Here is an example of the drawing that they are able to do in Shidonni. They are given the tools that they can click on and let their imaginations soar. They can draw anything from this ladybug to a space alien or anything else their imaginations may pop out. The program is easy enough for a 5 year old to use and is still captivating for a 5th grader. I had fun playing it!

When I entered Shidonni, I chose to draw a bird. I am not much of a sketch artist so my bird was very simple but with the two buttons you see on the bottom of the screen (see above picture where you see the bird and the horse), your animal or creature comes to life! If your drawing is a flying creature, you would click the bird image. If it is a walking creature, you would click the horse. I was very amazed by how if flew around the screen and made my drawing look good!
Once you have drawn your creature(s) and they come alive, you can bring them to different rooms in their "world". The picture above shows one example of a scene in the world. You can choose several different ones such as puzzles, log ball catch, chutes & ladders, snake, etc.

There are even options for interaction with friends. Your child can have their friends sign up and play the games with them! How fun is that!
Now for the best part, Shidonni basic version is FREE for everyone!!! Here is where the giveaway comes in. If you or your child plays with the Shidonni program and you enjoy it. Don't you think you would enjoy Shidonni Pro? This is an even extended version of Shidonni. There are tons more options for more creativity and learning.

Shidonni has offered 3 months of Shidonni Pro FREE to one of my readers (a $16.95 value)! If you have a child age 4 and up, you can enter this giveaway! All you have to do is visit Shidonni, look around and come back here filling out the form below telling me what you did or didn't like about the program.

Here is how you can get extra entries (be sure to enter the form again for each entry):
  1. Follow my blog.
  2. Follow me on Twitter, MySpace, Facebook or Technorati.
