Organic

Anyone that knows me knows that I struggle to feed my family healthy food and would LOVE to be able to go all organic. It drives me bananas (the non-organic kind!) when people offer you something and make sure to add organic to the title. Like "would you like some organic brownies?" or "would The Bug like an organic lollipop?" maybe it is just me feeling guilty but it is almost like they are rubbing it in. Like my non-organic brownies would never be welcome in their house!








And BTW, The Bug likes any and ALL lollipops!!!

Money Saving Tip that's a little green

You can wash swim diapers!!! I have tried this and it works! Just don't dry them or use the poopy ones. I washed some on warm cycle yesterday and they came out fine. I let them air dry. From what I have read, they only last 3 or 4 washings but man, will that save some money! Those suckers are expensive.

BTW - keep an eye out fr clearance deals on them. Store should start marking them down soon.

Ebates!!!!!

As you already know, I am pretty creative with money. I am trying to stick to a $30 a week grocery budget, piling every bit of extra cash into savings, etc. WELL, I might have emailed you this before but I am going to mention it again. The office has me order flowers, cookies, etc to clients and associates for special occasions. I found a way to get money back on those orders. I have $15 coming to me this month! Go to www.Ebates.com , if you make any online purchases at all, it is so worth it. If you sign up now and use me as a referral, I get a $10 bonus and you get a gift card to Target or somewhere similar, after you make your first purchase through the site. I was totally leery but after I got my first check, I am sold. You just have to remember to go to their site and link from there.

Use this email in your referral saffie23@hotmail.com
