Rainbow Brite Review

MomSelect and Hallmark recently gave me the chance to review a CD ROM with the newly revamped Rainbow Brite and friends!

As you know I have a 3yr old and a 20 mo old. We are just starting to dabble into the online computer games and activities. The experience of Rainbow Brite's world of games, songs and coloring was absolutely captivating for my 3yr old Abigail! She loved the bright colors and games! The matching game was her favorite and she did surprisingly well remembering where the characters "were hiding!"

My little guy Braden liked watching his sister play the games but quickly became frustrated her attention was not on him. Resulting in a run and slam the computer hoping to make her scream.

I asked a co-worker if her son would be interested in the New Rainbow Brite CD ROM and she said sure and took one from me. The next day she told me her son loved it. She described him deeply captivated by the colors and games. So there you go, Rainbow Brite is not only for girls, boys like her too!

If you would like to play these games with your children your in luck, all you have to do is click here to go straight to the games section on the Rainbow Brite website!

I was provided with 10 CD ROMs, 1 for me and 9 to give away! I gave away 7 to my mommy friends and co-workers. Which leaves me with two left. Let me know if you live in the Edmond area and would like to come pick one up!

This product was provided. All opinions were honest and my own. No monetary gain was made from this post.

Update March 2nd! Crest ----2 packages free cookies! 2/26!

Buy 1 package of Oreo's and get TWO Cakesters for free!

Update March 2nd! Sent hubby to the store to get this deal again and it worked! The cashier asked him if he heard about this deal from somewhere and he said yes my wife sent me here and got this deal earlier in the week. She responded: "We have told the manager this rings up this way and they don't care, so everybody gets a really good deal, I guess."

Hi everyone, I went to Crest last night after work about 12:30 am, and they were having a special on Oreo's. The deal was buy any package of Oreo's and get a free Oreo Cakester. So I grabbed one package of regular Golden Oreo's and 2 packages of cakesters, thinking I would use a free coupon I had for one of the cakesters. When I went to check out the lady noticed when she rang it all up it only charged me for the regular Oreo's and took off both the cakesters. She called a manager over to see what was going on and she didn't know either and said to me "wow you got a really good deal." She gave me back my coupon to use another time. Anyway, I'm not sure if this deal is a glitch in the system, but it might be worth checking out. I tried a cakester today and it was heavenly!!! I am a big fan of the golden ones!

My weight loss journey!

I wanted to share these pictures with you to show you my weight loss journey. I lost 73 lbs in 4 months with a 3 week break in between. Included in these pictures is my Mom and Mother in law. We did this by using HCG, its a hormone you make while pregnant. I ordered mine over seas and mixed the medicine myself, but a friend recently found a more convenient and cheaper website to get this medicine called Rebekah's Pure Living, or Health Yourself. This diet is very intense with a 500 calorie diet, but I rarely felt hungry. The weight just fell off my body, I lost a pound or more every day! I have inspired countless others to start this diet with amazing results! I have nothing to gain from posting this except the joy and excitement of helping others. If I can do this I know anybody can. I really feel like I found myself again, and am a much happier and healthier person. Good luck and let me know if I can do anything to help you.

I am not a Doctor, these are my opinions.

Free $5 Amazon giftcards!

You can get free $5 amazon gc's through Swagbucks! Swagbucks is similar to google in that it's a search engine, but the difference is Swagbucks rewards you randomly for your searches. You can get anywhere from 1-5 points 4 times a day. The points add up quick, and the best part is if you refer someone swagbucks matches that persons points up to 100!!! I get about 2 gift cards a month by myself. Download the toolbar and you don't necessarily have to search all the time, instead of going straight to the website I go through a search for every site I visit. This is a great deal, free money! Click any Swagbucks to go straight there!

Introduction to the blog!

Hi everyone! I have been in the blog world for so long now, but I haven't made a commitment to participate until now! Several times a week people ask me about couponing and how I get such amazing deals. I try to direct them to all the right sites but I understand it's hard to start off by yourself. This blog is going to be an homage to the best deals and coupon matchups I can find from around the blogosphere! Plus a little of my own findings!
