Blue Diamond Almonds & Fruit Perfect Appetizer for Dinner Parties

This post was sponsored by Blue Diamond® as part of an Influencer Activation and all opinion expressed in my post are my own. 

My friends and I have a weekly dinner on Monday nights to which we got really creative and call it, “Monday Night Dinner”. It gives us a chance to catch up, and for us to have great food. What’s not to love about that? This week our appetizer was taken care of thanks to Blue Diamond Almonds & Fruit.

Total Tech Support from Best Buy helps save money

I consider myself tech savvy for a lot of things but there are times where I need help, and I’m ok with admitting that. Nothing frustrates me more than when technology is supposed to work and doesn’t. So when I found out about their Total Tech Support membership from Best Buy I was really intrigued. I’m on the computer a lot so I need to make sure that I don’t get a virus. I also need to make sure all my security software is up to date.

15% off Nanobebe Newborn Gift Set

Black Friday is coming up and I know I’m excited for all the deals. I wanted to bring up one deal in particular. If you have a new mom on you list that breastfeeds and bottle feeds (with breast milk) then this may be perfect for you. It’s a new product called Nanobebe. It’s not your traditional bottle, and it looks really neat.

Like most families we have medical costs and prescriptions every month that we must get. Our new insurance plan is better than our last, but still it means extra costs out of pocket. Whenever I find something that saves me money I’m all for it. Especially if it’s something that is a necessity, like medications. ScriptSave WellRx can help you big time with those medication costs.

If You or Your Child Has a Disability and Qualifies for SSI, Able United has a Contest for You!

This is the face of an amazing little boy. He has the most sparkling blue eyes, and an equally sparkling personality. He is so smart, and can tell you directions of how to get to any town within a 30 mile radius of us. He is delighted by dinosaurs and loves playing Lego's and Mine Craft. This is also the face of a little boy with a very severe speech delay. Even after being in therapy for a year, he is still significantly delayed, and struggles daily to help us understand him.  He is very patient with us not understanding and thinks of other ways that we may "get" what he is trying to say. We are told this disability may be something he has to deal with for the rest of his life, and he is the face of thousands of children in the state of Florida with a disability. 

When receiving Government funded programs like SSI you can only have a certain amount of money in the bank in order to keep receiving the check. There does not seem to be many ways around that unless you would like to keep cash in a box in your house, and we all know how safe that may (or may not be). Able United has a way around this and allows you to save for the future. You can open an account ,which only takes about 15 minutes to do and save TAX-FREE for your Qualified Disability Expenses. There are absolutely no minimums that you need to put in, and you can save uo to a total of $14k per year and then you can pick how you would like to invest the money. The funds are very easy for you to take out and you can ask that a paper check be sent or you can request an electronic transfer to your account.

Right now, Able United has an awesome contest going on between now and June 15, 2017. Florida residents who qualify for the Able United can enter to be one of five people who win $500 to start off their savings account! That is an awesome way to jump start your much needed savings. You can enter right now on Able United's Facebook Page! Good luck to you! I hope you are one of the lucky ones.

Woolite Keeps Dark Clothes From Fading

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Lysol®, Finish®, Woolite®, and Air Wick®. The opinions and text are all mine.

My husband knows more than anyone how I don’t need an excuse to go to Target. We joke that it’s my happy place. There are truths to all those memes about how we moms love walking down the aisles (or in my case wheeling in the motorized cart). Throw in a cup of coffee from Starbucks and some amazing Cartwheel deals, and we are happy.

Reckitt Benckiser asked that I share some tips with you. The first tip I have is to download the Cartwheel app. You will find some amazing Target deals from it.

Great Rewards from Sears Mastercard

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Sears Mastercard

If you are like me, you use your cards for all your shopping. I know I don’t carry more than a few dollars’ cash around. I prefer to use my card, not just because it’s easier, but because I get more out of it when I do. So many companies offer cash back and rewards that It’s smart to take advantage of that. Sears Mastercard with Shop Your Way may be a card you haven’t thought of, but really should.

Musselman’s Applesauce Empanadas

My family and I love applesauce. We love eating It plain, but even more on other food like pancakes or baking it into brownies to make them even more moist. I wanted to make some empanadas, and couldn’t decide what I wanted for the filling. So, I decided to use Musselman’s Cinnamon Applesauce. I really wish, I had thought of this sooner as they are so good, and so simple.

HoneyComb Cereal Mix & Enter to win big

Like most 4 year olds, my youngest LOVES movies. You can’t watch movies without some type of snack. So, to help you, I have an awesome snack idea for you. Not only that, but when you buy HoneyComb cereal you have a chance to win some amazing prizes.

Post has teamed up with the new movie Sing (coming out Dec 21 in theaters). Not only do they have amazing prizes for you to win, like $10,000, yes you read that right 10k!!!! They also have a coupon for you, so you can save a little when you buy some cereal.

Join Shoedazzle VIP and Save Big

Last month (September), I told you what I thought about Shoedazzle. Usually I don’t write follow up posts, but wanted to with them. Being a VIP member, I get benefits every month, so I figured I would share my thoughts after a little time has passed. I must say, I’m still in love with the boots that I ordered last month. They are the softest and most comfortable flat boots that I own.

$2 off Luvs- Busy Moms in the Know Pick Luvs!

It's hard for me to believe that they have made Luvs even better, but they have! They are now softer and more absorbent than ever before. The tabs are larger and more stretchy, so they are easier to pull tight and more effective against leaks. They are officially the diaper of the more experienced moms, and that is certainly true of me! After three babies, I love Luvs diapers. They seems comfortable for my babies, they are cheaper and definitely effective for them! I have had very few leaks with my kids wearing Luvs diapers. We busy moms know that nobody has time for messy leaks!

Save Big on Luvs with Ibotta

As a family of three, we are always looking for ways to save money, and two of the ways we do that is using Luvs and Ibotta. As moms we all tend to start out with the more expensive diapers but as time goes on, we learn that more expensive does not always mean better. Let me just tell you a little about both of these.

If you have not heard about Ibotta, you need to check it out! It is a simple app that you download on your phone and after every shopping trip you scan your receipt to find savings, and then simply take a picture of your receipt. There are usually a few small tasks to complete like watching a short video as well. On average we get $1-$3 back on each shopping trip. You can cash these out as gift cards. My sister in law actually had enough on a gift card to get her son a tablet for Christmas last year, so it definitely does add up!

Luvs Diapers Coupon + Ibotta Reward #SharetheLuv

This review was made possible by iConnect and Luvs.  I was provided compensation to facilitate this post, but all opinions stated are 100% mine.

A few of my friends are awesome at coupons. I have been wanting to learn a lot from them and how they save so much on their shopping lists. When it comes to kids, they are expensive. Diapers are one of those must have products that add up over the years. Having coupons for even a few dollars helps big time.

Great Deals from Groupon

When Groupon first came out I didn’t use it. I looked at it but it didn't have anything I was looking for in my area. Fast Forward a few years and now they have something for everyone everywhere.

NEW $69 Blowout Boutique

Are YOU planning on dressing up this Halloween? Zulily thinks so!

This year, I actually am dressing up in a pretty simple costume....Charlie Brown! We are doing Trunk or Treat at our Church and we are decorating in the Charlie Brown theme, so I am Charlie Brown and my mom is the great pumpkin! While this is not the most common costume choice for women my age, it does seem Disney Characters, Movie Characters, Superheroes, Star Wars, and even Prince William and Kate are a trend this year! 

According to Zulily, the costume sales for adults is up 41% from last year, so more people are getting into the festivities! They say one third of people aged 25-34 are planning on dressing up this year!! It looks like the parents are getting into the fun with their children! Join in on the fun, and get into the action by doing a family themed dress up this year!

If you are interested in knowing more about what Zulily is...Trust me, it is not just for Moms!! They focus on offering the unexpected at great prices. All items featured on Zulily are offered at a deep discount. Each and every morning, they offer a new category or brand for you to shop at amazing deals! I personally have been a HUGE Zulily fan for years, and have purchased many items like sheets, clothes, maternity clothes, kids clothes, shoes, toys and much much more over the years! 

If you are a fan of saving, and a fan of Halloween, I highly recommend you taking a peak around Zulily. They offer the finest selection of costumes, and also fall clothing and accessories to make your children look precious this FUN time of year!
