Little Miss Matched: Free Shipping Today Plus Up to 80% Off

When we first adopted our daughters from Ukraine, matching was not a priority for one of them…AT ALL!  There were many days she chose to wear something like pink camo pants with a blue tie-dyed shirt and red socks.   As a mom who loves fashion, I was slightly horrified!

Both my daughter and I were delighted that year when we discovered Little Miss Matched while shopping at a little boutique.  For once, something appealed to her idea of fashion AND mine!

Today only, you can get FREE Shipping on your orders at Little Miss Matched by using code SUMMERFREE.    They also have tons of great deals in their Outlet section like this receiving blanket for only $7.

For an added bonus, make sure to shop through one of these cash-back sites.

5 Must-Have Fashionable Pieces to Pack for Every Weekend Trip (Plus Some Coupons!)

TwitterMoms is teaming up with Gap Outlet to find out the 5 Must-Have Fashionable Pieces for Every Weekend Trip this summer.  If you’re anything like me, you may end up taking a huge overflowing suitcase because you’re just not sure what your weekend plans will include, what the weather will be like, or what kind of mood you’re in.  With that in mind, here are my Top Five! (If only I could stick to my own list!)

1.  Cute sundress (Something that can be dressed up or dressed down is perfect!)

2.  Comfortable kitten heeled flip flops (Another item that can be dressed up or dressed down.)

3. A jean jacket (Every wardrobe needs a good jean jacket and this would be perfect over your sundress on a cooler evening or day!)

4.  A pair of dark wash bootcut jeans

5.  A dressy black tee (something with a ruffled sleeve or interesting detail)

If you take those things (along with some clean underwear, a toothbrush, and sunscreen), you should pretty much be good to go!

If you  need to do some extra shopping before your summer trips, be sure to check out these great deals and discounts!

I noticed this week that we’re down to less than a pack of toilet paper at our house.  I’ve been waiting for a great deal on toilet paper to come along so I could stock up.  I was super thrilled to see this deal at Staples today!  Here’s what you need to do to make this work!

  • Click the “Order Now” button to add the toilet paper to your cart.
  • At the top of your screen, you’ll see an “Order by Catalog Item #” link. Enter 593805-v6 and order one.

Win a FREE Bra Makeover from Playtex

Do slipping straps, riding up backs, or not enough support have you ready to write a Dear John letter to your old bras? Uh…yes, yes, and yes!  Is that too much info to share on my blog?

Seven out of ten women are wearing the wrong size bra which can lead to sore shoulders and bruising as well as clothes that don’t fit well!   Here’s the scoop from Playtex:

We know that busy moms don’t always have time to update their bras or even check to make sure they are wearing the correct size. That’s why we wanted to let you know about this contest from Playtex! Playtex recently launched www.PlaytexBraMakeover.com, a site where women can go to apply for a bra makeover or nominate a friend. If chosen, the winner will be flown to New York to receive a Bra Makeover with style expert Alison Deyette. Deyette is a fashion and trend lifestyle expert who has been featured on Bravo’s Millionaire Matchmaker and TLC’s Ten Years Younger, as well as in print publications including Good Housekeeping, The Washington Post, and O Magazine. Apply for your chance to win a Playtex Bra Makeover today. The last day to apply is Friday, May 21st, 2010.

The 10 winners selected for a Bra Makeover will also star in their very own webisode wherein a makeover candidate will receive a fitting with Deyette and walk away with the perfect Playtex products. A new webisode will premier on www.PlaytexBraMakeover.com every two weeks.

Head on over to Playtex Bra Makeover and sign up to win a Bra Makeover (or feel free to nominate me for one)! I’ve lost over 35 pounds since January and am in desperate need of some new bras!

Disclosure: By posting this information, I am entered into a contest to win a free bra from Playtex. I did not receive any compensation for this post and thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.

May is National Foster Care Month

One of my biggest passions is watching people reach their full potential.  It has been such a joy to watch my daughters (adopted at ages 9 and 11, now 12 and 14) grow and thrive and discover the things they’re passionate about.  I’m so ready to do that again!  For the last few years, my husband and I have prayed about becoming foster parents.  We have seen firsthand the difference a loving adult can make in the life of a child or teenager and we want to be part of that!  We set some goals to make our dream a reality and I’m thrilled to be able to say, we’re almost there!  We’ve paid off all of our debt (this was our personal goal, not a requirement for becoming foster parents) and we’re working on getting our house ready to sell so we can move into a bigger house (ours barely contains our family now)!  As we prepare for this exciting journey in our family, I hope you’ll consider what your family can do!

I want to share this guest post from Adopt Us Kids with you.  I hope you’ll also take the time to head over to the Adopt Us Kids website and watch the “Children in Foster Care” video.

Did you know it would take less than 1% of the U.S. population to provide a family for every child in foster care?

May is National Foster Care Month and there has never been a greater need to bring attention to children waiting for forever homes.  More than 463,000 children are currently in foster care and 123,000 children are waiting to be adopted.

Children in foster care are loving children.  They are children like Shaquane and Edlina and Albert.  Every child deserves to have a home with caring and supportive parents.

Visit www.adoptuskids.org to learn more about fostering and adopting. You can also join our online communities on Facebook and Twitter.
