just thought i'd share...

a few nifty things i use to earn free stuff, keep my hubby on schedule, and keep me on schedule...and keep the gray away!  (yikes)



*pampers.com - i've been keeping points w/ "gifts to grow" since november of last year.  i ignored the logo for awhile thinking, "am i really going to take the time to keep the wrapper and enter codes online?"  i finally decided to look into it and glad i did!  not only have my points recently made me eligible for a free subscription to "better homes & gardens" or 200 free prints from shutterfly (i still need to put together a baby book for my FIRST BORN!)...i can't make up my mind!  but also i receive coupons in the mail :)  so, if you use pampers and like free stuff, keep the codes found on the packaging, look out for any pampers print ads as they have codes on those sometimes, and if you shop at HEB they sometimes give codes on the print-out coupons you receive w/ your receipt!  yea for pampers!

*google calendar - if you have a google account, you can keep a calendar online.  you can have it set up to send you reminders and invite others to any events you enter in your calendar.  i have started using it for the sole purpose to inform my husband about any additions to our calendar.  it's great!  he simply "accepts" the invitation and an email is sent to me stating exactly that.  i understand it as he has it entered in his calendar, and is saying, "yes, sandra, i will watch the girls while you go see "the help" w/ your girlfriends on sunday."  great concept!

*lady timer-free version - okay, this is for iphone users.  i'm sure there are apps for other smart phones, too, but i really have no idea.  this is great for anyone trying to get pregnant, oooor for those NOT trying to get pregnant.  there are actually quite a few apps available, but i chose this one (it was free and had good reviews) and like the interface.  i only wish there was an option to email it to jason...i mean, why should i take all the responsibility ;)

tomorrow is friday which means the chances of me blogging are not good!  BUT there are some lovely things coming your way.  a crafty post about chore charts, a new recipe aaaaand this month's fab mama-jama of the month.  and i am SUPER excited!!  i am surrounded by women that are BEAUTIFUL inside and out, and i just love bragging about them!

keep "doing your thing" lovelies!

what?  ooohhh, you want to know about keeping the grays away?  well, here you go...

*john freida precision foam color - i've used at-home hair color before, but this was my first time to use this product, and i love it!  great coverage, conditions well and not as messy :)  and if you go to their website you can print a coupon ;)




not only did i have grays to cover, but my highlights had gotten out of control!


don't forget the sweet gloves!


start at the top (am i really sharing this?)
