General Mills & The Movies…..

 

 

Are you all in the process of decorating for Christmas?? We are not decorating yet, but the kids love to see the lights on at night… We love to see what everyone comes up with! Enough about that… on to the topic…

How do they go together you ask?? Great question… Well, General Mills is having a promotion where if you buy 2 boxes of Cereal and put the codes in, from the back of the box…. you can get a free movie ticket (up to a $12 value) Check this site, to see participating movie theaters.

How can that be any better??? With the holidays coming up, I’m sure you can find some good deals on Cereal. I know, in my house we go through a box or two a week. So with your normal boxes of cereal you buy, you can get a movie ticket. Save up a few… and you can take the family to the movies. What a great treat!

Participating Cereals are specially marked boxes of….

• Honey Nut Cherrios'
  
• Cinnamon Toast Crunch
  
• Lucky Charms
  
• Trix

Hope you had a Fabulous Thanksgiving!

 

 

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Whether you spent it at home with a few family members, or if you drove a long ways to be with lots of family!

I’m sure most of you are out shopping the Black Friday sales. I don’t usually shop them, unless there is something super amazing that I need to have! Or should I say want to have!! Especially since I usually have all of my Christmas Shopping done, by September.

If you did go out today, I hope you found lots of great deals.. and was able to shop without to many hassles. Those of you in this state, I hope your travels were safe, as we had some nasty weather to wake up to this morning.. Enjoy the rest of your weekend…

Don’t forget to check out my most recent Giveaway to get in the spirit of Christmas!

PictureItPostage Review & Coupon Code

As crazy as it sounds, I usually have my Christmas cards made up, back to me, and ready to be mailed out right before, or right after Thanksgiving. The last two years, no such luck, but we are trying really hard to get back on schedule. I like to have mine in the mail no later than the beginning of December. Crazy.. I know! 


I was given the choice to make some personalized stamps and share my experiences of it with you. So first.. I simply went to PictureItPostage online. It was very easy to do.. and it walked you through it nicely. First step was going through what pictures, I had and wanted to use as a stamp. Then I uploaded a couple, to see which I thought looked better. After choosing my picture.. you can also change the color to the side, around the postage part of your stamp (there are lots of colors to choose from). You can change whether you want your stamp to be in portrait or landscape, as well as being able to change the text on the stamp. Then you order however many stamps you would like. The cost of 20 stamps runs you $18.95, and around $4 for standard shipping. I used standard shipping and my stamps arrived in about 4 days, but mine where shipped over the weekend. 




Here is the stamp I choose to have made:

You want to create your own now?? Well if you head on over to PictureItPostage and deliberate for hours which picture you want to use on yours, and then enter MOTHERHOOD in the discount code spot when you order them, and get $4 off your order! This code will expire on January 31, 2011. 


Be sure to come back and tell me what you decided to use on yours! 


* Thanks to The Motherhood and PictureItPostage for the code for complementary stamps, as well as being compensated for my time to do this review. All opinions are 100% my own!

Gratitude Post #13

Today I'm grateful to be healthy... I've been pretty blessed to not have any major illnesses or diseases in my immediate family. My kids are healthy for the most part... except a minor cold here and there. I'm very thankful  for that, as I have watched others around me suffer in ways that I could never imagine. My heart goes out to them, and I pray everyday that cures will be found for those that suffer.

Today I'm grateful for such wonderful programs for my children to be involved in, as well as myself. As most of you have probably figured out after reading my blog for the last few years... I'm involved in a lot! I love that my kids have such wonderful programs like Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts, and 4-H to participate in. 

My son absolutely loves Cub Scouts and the opportunities it brings for him in learning, as well as friends. My girls love Girl Scouts, and the friends they have made along the way, and the fun things they have been able to be apart of, and giving back to the community. This is our first year with 4-H it actually just started tonight, but I'm sure it will be just as much fun. I have also enjoyed being apart of all these, and being a part of the kids learning, and watching them grow. Thank you to all of those that are part of these and the time you put into doing them... I know how much you are under appreciated!

Today I'm grateful for my in-laws... I was blessed with such accepting, loving, in-laws. Nothing like the ones you hear about prior to getting married... (Haha) They are amazing.. and am so grateful to their generosity in times that we have needed help or advice. It was very hard for us to leave them and move back to Maine, after having shared the last few years with them. We will absolutely treasure those years... and memories for years to come! We miss you!
