HOT $2/1 TRESemme Shampoo Or Conditioner

WOW!  I just got an email from TRESemme apologizing for their recent facebook debacle where TONS of people signed up to get a free product thru a link that was NEVER intended to be posted to facebook.  To make things right, they sent a high value $2/1 TRESemme Shampoo or Conditioner coupon link.  (Lest you think I'm keeping all the goodies to myself, I would share the link with you, but it's a unique code only redeemable once).  Check your email inbox (and spam) and see if YOU got an email from TRESemme.  THAT'S how it's done - take care of the customer!  Nicely played, TRESemme.

Monster Sandwiches

I spotted these super cool Monster Sandwiches over on a blog called Jen's Own Road.  What attracted me to them wasn't how amazing looking they are (OK, that was PART of it), but the lightbulb that went off in my head when I saw them and said "I can do THAT!" (And so can you).  I don't know why it never occurred to me to use a cup to cut the crust off my boys' bread, but it's pure genius.  All these are is round bread, lunch meat, olives for eyes and some cleverly slice cheese.  This would take about 60 seconds to make.  Seriously, this is NOT hard.  I WILL be packing these in my kiddos lunches THIS WEEK.  I guarantee you they will be gobbled up.  And as luck would have it, I just bought 2 cans of olives yesterday.  See....I was meant to make these sandwiches.  Thanks, Jen!

No Mess Marbled Painting

Pinned Image
My favorite part about this little craft idea?  The NO MESS part.  Yes, we've had (more than) our fair share of crafty messes, and we're not afraid of a little dirt, but sometimes it's nice to have something to keep 'em occupied with that won't require MORE cleanup time than actual BUSY time (know what I mean?).  Frugal Family Fun Blog has this great idea posted for how to do some No Mess Marbled Painting with just a few materials - ziploc bags, paints, baby oil, glitter (if you want to be all "fancy") and some packing tape.  This looks like something I'll put together while the boys are at school, and then whip out when they're going crazy while I'm trying to fix dinner.  They can (CALMLY) sit down at the table and "paint" while I cook.  I don't know why, but dinner time is always SILLY SEASON around here.  It's when we are ALL on edge - bored, tired, hungry, impatient....not a good combination.  This looks like a great solution!

Totino's Pizza Coupon

My teenager is ALWAYS on the prowl for snacks to fill up him (and his friends).  I always try to keep the freezer stocked up with stuff he can microwave himself (otherwise I'd never leave the kitchen!).  Head HERE to print a coupon to Save $1 on 5 Totino's Frozen Pizzas.  It's a bricks, so you can print two.

This is What We're Doing Today

It's that time of year again.....the time when little boys all across this great country of ours fashion Pinewood Derby cars using blocks of wood, 4 nails, plastic wheels and a WHOLE lotta imagination.  That's my little Zacky-B grinning ear to ear after getting the Most Original trophy for his Wii Remote car, driven by none other than Luigi.  Yep, we were up & out of the house earlier than a school day this morning.  Headed to the Pinewood Derby racetrack.  Fueled by glazed donuts, and chocolate milk we sat back and watch a group of six Tiger Cubs cheer each other on.  There were no tears from losing cars (that would be ours), just lots of grins and high fives.  It was really sweet.  And heart warming.  I loved the little boy who painted his car like the Ethiopian flag "cuz I'm from Ethiopia".  And the child who painted his blue with a lightening bolt on it and named it Invisible Blue (because it's so fast you can't even see it - don't blink!).  It's been a week (or so) of painting, and sanding, and steel wooling, and weighing, and spending fun time with Dad.  This, my friends, is how we are spending our time today.  And this is all five of us grinning from ear to ear!  I hope you have a fantastic weekend with the people who matter most to you.
