Great Yard Sale! (Avondale 4/14)

There is a good yard sale happening right now at 721 Penn Green Rd. in Avondale.

They have a play house for $10o, normally retails at $320. There are kids books, PS games, toys, motorized motorcycles,  and scooters.

They have Coach bags and shoes, Dooney and Bourke and  Kate Spade. They HAD a pair of Christian Louboutins(real?) but I went back and bought them already. I am no judge of designer or knock off so make sure you check stuff well if you are set on the real deal.

Go check them out and tell them “the shoe girl” sent you.

 

Share Our Strength: A Great American Bake Sale

More than 1 in 5 children IN AMERICA goes hungry every night.  Along with hunger comes failure to thrive, children failing in school, and illness. Share Our Strength is a nonprofit organization whose goal is to end childhood hunger one child at a time. Every $1 donated is enough to provide one child with 10 meals.  Along with making sure kids have food their goal is to also teach proper nutrition so these children don’t just have a meal, but a healthy well balanced meal.

Share Our Strength is partnering with Bloggers Without Borders and Gaby Dalkin to  raise money for even more children. Last year with The Great American Bake Sale, they were able to raise $25,000 to feed hungry children. This year Bloggers Without Borders’ goal is to DOUBLE that and raise $50,000 on April 28, again using The Great American Bake Sale.

If you would like to get involved in The Great American Bake Sale, visit this LINK to see how you can either host a sale or be part of a sale in your area. Together we can make a difference.

 

Gorton’s Fish: Review and Giveaway

I had the opportunity to review Gorton’s Fish this week and offer a FREE coupon giveaway for THREE of our lucky fans. They also have their Fisherman’s Friday Sweepstakes going on right now. Make sure you enter for your chance to win-our giveaway AND the sweepstakes(click the banner for the sweepstakes)!

I was so excited to get to offer this giveaway to you. Who doesn’t like coupons that help make the grocery bill a little smaller? Plus, Gorton’s is the only frozen fish we use. We generally use their fish sticks or battered fish portions on a busy night but did you know they have so much more? From fish sticks and battered portions to salmon and shrimp, they have battered, grilled and gluten free options.  Their newest product is called “Skillet Crisp“.  They take tilapia and bread it in a classic or garlic and herb seasoning. You don’t have to deal with the messy egg dip and batter. All you need to do is pull it from the freezer and fry it – fish and chips in no time.  Of course, now I want fish and chips.

I also like that Gorton’s is committed to using good sustainability practices. While bringing fish to your table they are conscious of the impact they have on the environment and their goal is to  preserve our natural resources while bringing good food to your table.

This sounds good for dinner since I have some freshly made pasta in my fridge but no thoughts of what meat to pair with it.

So, on to the giveaway! THREE winners will receive 2  FREE coupons for Gorton’s Frozen Food – any frozen food but why don’t you try something new, like their super easy Skillet Crisps?
