I’m not exactly sure when Elmo’s birthday is……but it’s soon, lol. Maybe even today. Or yesterday. I got this in my email, and you’d think they’d include the actual date, but I don’t see it. Well, if your kids love Elmo, here are some cute downloads.

The thredUP community – where moms swap kids clothes and toys. It’s easier than ever to hand-down outgrown children’s items and earn cash back. Use FREE USPS boxes or Concierge bags to de-clutter without leaving the house. Earn up to $10 for each great box you sell and up to $20 for each bag you stuff and return to us. Pick new boxes that start at just $9 and come full of great kids stuff. The average thredUP box has more than 15 items. It’s the best kids clothing deal anywhere.
How does it work?
- Gather all the books your child no longer reads, and list them by the boxful on thredUP.
- Sign-up for free and thredUP will send you complimentary empty USPS boxes (if you don’t want to wait, go grab them for free at your local post office).
- When another mom picks your box of books, thredUP lets you know. thredUP generates the shipping label and scheduldes home pick-up, so you can send books without leaving the house.
It’s even easier than Goodwill and you’ll send your family’s once loved books directly to another child who wants them.

1. Diabetes study-If you or someone you know is diabetic, consider signing up for this clinical study. It pays $1000! (and I realize that having diabetes is hardly “fun” and mean no disrespect….it’s just a good opportunity to get some extra cash, imo)
2. Deal or No Deal-online, win prizes, play for free.
3. The Secret World of Arrietty-new Disney movie coming out, check out the trailer, plus go to their Facebook page to get some free downloads including coloring pages.
4. Lasik surgery–free evaluation to determine if you’re a candidate. I don’t wear glasses but I have some friends that have had the surgery and they said it is life changing! Click picture below for more information.
Check out Mr. Chewy for your pet needs~discount code in post!

I was recently given the opportunity to try some products from Mr. Chewy to share my shopping experience with you. Mr. Chewy is an online shopping site for pet supplies. They have over 70 of the most popular brands including popular brands like Royal Canin, Iams, Hills and Blue Buffalo. Now, you all know I’m all about saving a buck or two, whenever and wherever I can. I have two large dogs–100lbs each. That’s a lot of food, a lot of big chewy toys, a lot of money…..for everything. I found Mr. Chewy to be very competitively priced for the items I shopped. And then when I factor in the hassle factor–the hassle of putting two kids in the car, in car seats, going to pet supply store, getting one or two 35-40lb bags of dog food, trying to carry them, pay for them, all the while managing two small children, getting the dog food and supplies and kids back out to the car………well, I’d be silly to not attach some value to that, right?
They offer free shipping on orders of $50 or more. And they have a fun referral program. If you use the code LISA2347, you’ll get 10% off your order, plus $10 will be donated to animal charities (listed on their website). I was given some credits, so I purchased Frontline.
