Old Navy Shorts

A few months ago I found a website that allows people to give opinions, join groups to sample products/review, and donate to charity.  It's called Crowdtap, and it's free to join!! So far, I have had a great time clicking around and joining various groups, and giving my opinion (and I have several!!).  I was lucky enough to get chosen to sample Old Navy shorts in their summer promotion!! 

Old Navy sent me two coupons for free shorts--one for me, and one for a friend.  All we had to do from there was go and pick out our shorts, take them home, and give a review of our new shorts (and try to take a picture!).  I picked my sister to come with me, and she got a cute pair of shorts for my niece! 

Since I am still not in perfect shape, I decided to opt for a longer pair.  I found some really cute ones in the Diva line, and they were so comfy--and flattering!  A little lower rise than I preferred, but still a good fit.  :)  I also loved their Bermuda shorts, but I could only pick one!!

The only picture that I got I couldn't get uploaded on the Crowdtap site.  That's fine--I took it while in the dressing room, so it's not the best one.  :)  But here's the shot that I took:

So if you are looking for shorts this summer, do go and check out Old Navy!!  They do have something for everyone!

New App for Weekly Circulars

As  I said before, I am still new to the iPad.  I have been playing around with it, and I love it!  A lot of what I have been using it for is to manage the house.  Since we are a single income family and we have Z in daycare twice a week, I do what I can to pinch pennies where I can.  Yes, I use coupons.  No, not like the Extreme Couponers on TLC.  My cousin Sarah does a great job, and I am doing what I can to learn from her.  Every Sunday I usually buy three papers, comb thru the circulars and coupons, and then wait to hear from Sarah.  :)  Sometimes I can do a trip or two on my own and do a decent job, but most of the time, by midweek I have misplaced the circulars or Z has gotten them in his grasp (and proceeded to shred them). 

Then, today, I found this app.  It is called "Weekly" and it has all the circulars from your area! You can even save a shopping list by touching the item you want to add.  I used it this morning to make a trip to CVS, and it was super helpful!

Best of all??  It's FREE!!

Free paint!!

If you are looking to do some updating in your home, then this is the deal for you! Head over to your local Ace Hardware stores today with this coupon and pick up a free quart of paint! Wanting to finally create that accent wall? Maybe spruce up the dining room? Then get to Ace Hardware, choose your "soul paint," and get your free quart! Happy painting!

Another free thing for today...

This might be good for just today, but I just found out a bit ago from a friend. You can go today to a Redbox video rental stand and get a free movie by using the promo code "THANKS2U". We just went to rent a video (standing out in the cold rain) and can't wait to watch! We finally settled on "Contagion" even though we don't really know much about it. Hopefully it's good...either way, it was free!!

Who doesn't love FREE ebooks??

One of my favorite things is my Kindle.  I LOVE to read...always have.  I really didn't know if I was going to like having a Kindle--I am quite partial to having a book in my hand, turning pages, and having the ability to flip back and forth as I please.  It does annoy me that I can't just easily flip back a few pages or so to find something I missed or refresh my memory, but the ease of having a Kindle--or use of the Kindle app on my iPhone, iPad, and computer--really is something that I enjoy.  Plus all of my bookshelves are packed to bursting, so not having to find a spot for those books that I can't resist is quite helpful  :)

Now, if you are like me--either using the Kindle, or the Kindle app for the iPhone, iPad, or computer--then you are going to LOVE this website.  It is called Ereader News Today, and everyday they post FREE ebooks!! My ebook library has grown leaps and bounds because of this site, and I tell everyone I know about it.  I mean, who doesn't like things for free--especially books??  And no, it's not old books that you were forced to read back in school.  They are all different types of books--fiction, nonfiction, thrillers, religion, historical, romance, cookbooks, self help, business, children's books, young adult...there is something for everyone!

Also be sure to "like" them on Facebook to find out as soon as the next free books are posted!

Happy reading!
