Lions & Clowns & Elephants, Oh My!

Last week, thanks to Mom Central & Feld Entertainment, our family had the chance to attend the Ringling Bros Barnum & Bailey Zing Zang Zoom circus, and it's a night we will talk about for a long time! It was our first circus experience and it could not have been any more enjoyable!

We showed up an hour before to the All Access Pre-Show for all ticket holders and it was crazy! Everyone was on the ground floor enjoying the clown school, up-close animals and dazzling performers. Kylie enjoyed herself immensely, but she really just wanted to be a clown for the night! These are a few of our favorite highlights of the night:


Acrobats flying thru the ring of fire!


The Lions...


The awesome Asian Elephants!


Performers being shot out of the cannon!


My daughter still can't stop talking about the show and it truly was a night we'll never forget. The clowns, noises, cotton candy, and ring master made it precisely what I had imagined and I can't wait to go back next year! I certainly hope you get the chance to attend with me and thanks again to Mom Central for offering a great ticket promotion to readers. I'll be sure to pass along other deals that make these events affordable for the entire family!

It's Official - Adoption Process Part 1

Yesterday morning was a huge step for our family.

For the past month, we've been working on a huge packet of personal questions, getting fingerprints, taking tests, and then more, all in preparation to turn in adoption paperwork! That's right, we desperately want more children in our home to love on and this is the way the Lord is directing our path right now.

Because of my struggle with Crohn's Disease and the new drugs that I've been taking, getting pregnant is out of the question for us right now. This hopefully isn't forever, but as long as I'm on these drugs, it's a definite!

We are pursuing a domestic adoption with Christian Family Care Agency and we couldn't be more thrilled with the agency and our caseworker! It's such a blessing to work with people who strongly desire to see this process work for each family that comes thru its doors, and the services they provide for birth-moms is wonderful. We are open to a girl or boy, as long as they are healthy! We are in the infant adoption program which means that we will bring our child home from the hospital. I love the newborn stage and I'm so excited to get to experience this with our next child like I did with Kylie!

I started volunteering with CFCA about 6 years ago when my Grandma asked me to participate in their spring luncheon fashion show. I fell in love with the staff and volunteers and I've had a special place in my heart for CFCA since then. But, never in my dreams did I imagine that our family would be working with the agency on this side of it's doors, but we couldn't be more excited!

We start mandatory classes in July and finish in August. At that time, we will be put into the "matchbook" that birth-moms look through to find the perfect forever family for their child. We've already started praying for our birth mom and her child, where-ever and who-ever they are! I know that it's going to be a huge challenge for me to be patient in this process, but I also know that the Lord will give our family everything it needs at the appropriate time.

Thanks for your encouragement & prayers, and I'll be sure to update you as the process progresses. We look forward to starting this phase of our life and we look forward to the awesome things that God has in store for our family!

Kreativ Blogger Award

What an honor, I've just been nominated for my first award, the Kreativ Blogger Award. I've seen others earn awards and never thought I was in the same caliber, but Rachael thought I was deserving! Thanks for your nomination and your true friendship, Rachael!

The Rules:

1. Thank the person who nominated you for this award.

2. Copy the logo and place it on your blog.

3. Link to the person who nominated you for this award.

4. Name 7 things about yourself that people might find interesting.

5. Nominate 7 Kreativ Bloggers.

6. Post links to the 7 blogs you nominate.

7. Leave a comment on each of the blogs, letting them know they have been nominated.

7 things about myself...

1. I spent 3 months in the Czech Republic before graduating college teaching English to students with Josiah Venture. In a roundabout way, this is how my husband and I met!

2. In college, I won a real diamond working as a concierge at the Hyatt Gainey Ranch in Scottsdale. I made it into a plain necklace, but I want to do something more unique with it now. Any ideas?

3. One of the ways that I paid for my college was being nominated to the 2000-2001 Fiesta Bowl Queen & Court. I made some great friends from the experience and was given opportunities that I'll remember forever!

4. My daughter, Kylie, was born 5 1/2 weeks early, technically a preemie. I praise God that she was healthy and had no issues, but we were definitely not prepared for her grand entrance so soon! At only 5 lbs 8 oz, I don't believe it when I see how little that is.

5. We've just begun the long process of adopting a newborn baby from Arizona through Christian Family Care Agency. I started volunteering with them about 6 years ago with my Grandmother and I never thought I would actually utilize their services until this past year. Isn't it cool to see how there are no coincidences in life - just "God-instances"!

6. I love to organize! Give me a stack of anything and I will put it in order for you. Currently I'm working on organizing all my mom's photos from the time I was born. That's 30 years worth of photos that I'm trying to put in chronological order based on hairstyles - yikes!

7. I have the biggest sweet tooth! It could be chewy, chocolaty, salty, sour, cold, or hot, if there is sugar in it, I'm in love. Earlier this year, I tried a new diet for my Crohn's Disease that eliminated all sugars except honey & fruit. It was one of the hardest things I tried to do. Once the doctors told me it was very unlikely that the diet would work, I went straight to Cheesecake Factory for dinner and had a slice of scrumptious Blueberry Cheesecake for dessert! This girl has to have her sweets!

Clorox Rebate at Fry's

Update: Here's a picture of the mail in rebate hanger.


Lenka just let me know about a great deal she found while shopping at Fry's.

Clorox Bleach has a rebate attached to it for free Clorox 2 for Colors after rebate. Check your store for these hangers!

She bought Clorox bleach (on sale for 1.99), Clorox 2 Free and Clear (33 load on clearance for 4.97) and got a $1.50 off coupon for next purchase at Fry’s at the register. Bottom line - she paid 50 cents for a bottle of bleach and Clorox 2.

Lastly, don’t forget to use the coupons on shortcuts.com. You choose the coupons you want to load onto your loyalty card and when you scan your card at the grocery store, the coupon is automatically deducted if you purchase a qualifying item! The best part about shortcuts.com is there is no clipping, sorting, and forgetting your coupons at home! It's already loaded on your card ready for your at the checkout!

Thanks for sharing your successes Lenka, who can I highlight next!?

Old Navy $5 Swim Sale

This weekend only, stop by Old Navy to take advantage of their $5 Swim Sale for the entire family! I believe this is only good in stores thru Sunday June 28th, and only while supplies last. Don't forget to earn some Old Navy coupons to take with you and here are some tips to winning those coupons.

Free Recipes from Betty Crocker

I have a confession to make... I hate to cook.

Anyone who knows me even a little bit knows this and I'm trying to make myself better, but it's going to take a while. It took me 30 years to hate to cook so naturally it will take the same to learn to love it, right :)

Well, this afternoon, I decided to try some new recipes I got in my inbox from Betty Crocker. The first is Impossibly Easy Apricot Pie and it's about to come out of the oven! The apricot sounded so refreshing and anything that is impossibly easy is definitely for me. The other is this super yummy looking banana bread. Our family never seems to eat all the bananas I purchase before going bad, so our freezer was beginning to look like a banana graveyard. I can't wait to try this lighter recipe and see how it tastes!

Here is your chance to get the same wonderful recipes delivered to you for free from Betty Crocker! Plus, they always include money saving coupons that are great for keeping your baking cupboard stocked. I hope you enjoy the new recipes as much as I do and sign up before it's too late!

Behr Paint $5 Mail In Rebate

If the free Glidden paint offer isn't enough to get your creative juices flowing this weekend, Home Depot & Behr are offering a $5 mail in rebate for every gallon of paint you purchase or $20 on a 5 gallon bucket thru this Sunday, June 28th. Go here for more details and let me know what you are going to do with your free/cheap paint!

Free Glidden Paint Now Available!

Remember when I told you about the Free Glidden paint promotion? It's now time to order your color, so go here to request your free quart of eggshell finish paint in over 250 shades.

I ordered the Dazzling Daffodil to finish some projects in my daughter's bedroom and bathroom. This is limited to quantities so don't delay in getting your free paint!

$10 Reward card from Gap brands

If you currently have a Gap/Old Navy/Banana Republic credit card, if you update your phone number and email address here, Gap will send you a $10 reward card good at any of the Gap brand stores! I don't use our Old Navy credit card very often at all, but about every third month, I get a note in my statement that if I use the card 4 times that month, they will send me a $20 reward certificate. I'll never turn down free money and I put gas and groceries on that card to be paid off every month anyways!

Pairing this $10 reward with the Huggies Enjoy the Ride Rewards Instant Win game I won last month should earn a bag full of great new clothes for super cheap!

Now, I would not suggest opening a card just for these types of benefits, but if you already have store credit cards, there are definitely benefits for being a customer, especially in this economy when everyone is trying to earn our business!

Free Chocolate Friday!

Today is Friday and that means it's your chance to win some free chocolate! Through September 25th, Mars will be giving away a FREE chocolate coupon (up to $1 value) to the first 250,000 online at RealChocolate.com.

Free Printable Paper Dolls

I remember playing with paper dolls when I was a little girl, and I think my 3 year old is finally old enough to start playing with them too. I came across these adorable free printable paper dolls from Patty Reed Designs. These look so classic it makes me want to dress like her myself! Quick tip, if you print them on cardstock, they'll likely last longer and stand up to more abuse than printer paper. Thanks goes to Patty Reed Designs for making them available to print.

$9.99 Oil Change coupon: Wed AZ Rep

Part of my daily routine is reading the morning newspaper over breakfast. It gives me a chance to quickly catch up on the news and I love seeing what coupons and deals I can find to pass along to you!

Yesterday, there was a blue $10 off $20 peelie sticker from Kohl's on the front page. Kohl's seems to offer more and more of these coupons these days, and I'm definitely taking advantage of them. We have a Sonicare electronic toothbrush and the replacement heads can be pretty pricy. They are on sale for 2 for $26 this week and using yesterday's coupon will make them $15 for 2 heads! That's a great price! Plus, if you register your purchase here, they will send you a rebate and coupons to use on your next purchase!

Today, on page A6 of the front section, there is a coupon for a $9.99 oil change at Saturn of Scottsdale. It is in the upper left hand side in bold black print. You must have the coupon to get the price and it's not valid with any other offers. Not only is this a great price, but my husband took our Honda here for an oil change last week and had the most pleasant experience. We called that morning and were able to get an appointment just 4 hours later. He took our 3 year old with him and planned to walk to Costco across the street to get a free sample lunch. To his surprise, when he arrived, they had a great set-up just for kids with a movie, toys, and video games. It was just enough to keep kids occupied for a 1 hour oil change. They ended up playing at Saturn and never made it to Costco - much easier in 100 degree weather!

And, the better part was the oil change was just 9.99 plus tax. Every other time I've had an oil change, there is a disposal fee, a filter fee, a this and that fee, etc, which always doubles the $9.99 cost. Not the case at Saturn of Scottsdale, it was $11 out to door!

We will definitely be going back to Saturn, especially if they continue to offer these coupons. There is no expiration date, so cut out your coupon and file it away for the next time you need this service on your car!

$3.99 Super Duper Sale at Carter's

I haven't had a chance to stop by yet, but Rachael had great luck at their Super Duper sale this weekend! Lots of clearance racks were $3.99 or $5.99 in a large variety of sizes. You have to shop quick to get the sizes you need before they are gone.

I've shopped these sales for 3 years now and Carter's has an amazing return policy. I purchase things for the next year, wrap a rubber band around that purchase and tape my receipt to the hanger so I won't lose it. Then, if the clothes don't fit the following season, I just take them back with the receipt attached with no questions asked. It's been a great strategy for us!
