     Sometimes as I go through my days, I come across things or think of things that I put to the back of my mind and think, I should share that on the blog! My readers should hear about that! But, then, if it is something little, I never get around to letting you know about it and I feel bad later that you missed out on a good deal or a good idea.  So, today I have decided to let you know about a few things that are currently good deals or good ideas that I have heard about and also give you a few updates about what is going on around here! 
Good Deals! 
  1. Gift Baskets Overseas-As you know, my son is serving a mission in the Ivory Coast.  His birthday was last week.  As I continue to research to find the best and least expensive ways to send him things, I am more and more impressed with what a good deal this company is.  If you look at the prices at first you may think I am crazy, but if you try to send a package over to Africa, you will see just how expensive it is to send something that may or may not actually get to the person you are sending it to. Right now, Gift Baskets has a deal that will save you $12 on all flowers, chocolates and teddy bear gifts.  It ends on the 16th, so hurry! Use code LOVE12.
  2. Minted-Do you have a wedding coming? You can save money on beautiful "save the date" cards if you order by the 19th! Minted has quality products that will not disappoint! 
  3. Target-Right now you can save 20% off of kids clothes, 20% off men's and women's clothing with promo code PRESDAY20, AND 30% off home items, with an additional 15% off of rugs with promo code George.
  4. Zaycon Fresh-We are in a new partnership with Zaycon Fresh.  They are meat suppliers that are very unique.  If you click through our link and sign up your email, you will be kept abreast of all of the deals that they are constantly offering! Right now there is a deal on shrimp going on if you use code SHRIMP72.

Good Idea!
Brownie Points-If you have followed me long, you know that I am currently the Primary Children's Singing Time Instructor at our church.  Each year, we prepare for a program that we present to the rest of the congregation in the Fall.  There are a number of songs that we work on throughout the year. Last year, as an incentive to get my children to really sing whole- heartedly, I made a Brownie Points Chart.  It was a chart with a list of all of the songs that we were working on for the program.  As we sang them each week, I would add a Brownie Point when they did a great job.  I told them that if they could get Brownie points to fill the line all across the page by the time we sang, (including during the program) I would reward them with a buffet of brownies.

I drew up these different variety of brownies and cut them out to have ready to stick onto my chart. If you click on the photo, you can download them to print off. All you have to do is make a chart with a list of the songs to tape them to all year.
My kids sang so well! Of course I knew that they would, so I came prepared with 4 different kinds of brownies, (including gluten free), napkins and zip lock bags for them to carry their brownies home.  They loved it! The brownies were easy to do since they were made in sheet pans, so it really was a great way to motivate the kids throughout the year.  (I introduced the Brownie Point Chart with a sample brownie earlier in the year.)
Updates
  1.      I am currently waiting for Alicia and family to arrive! Lindsey's baby Emily will be getting blessed on Sunday and Alicia's family is coming for that event! That means all 9 of our grandchildren will be here at once! Photo Op!

    I hope something I wrote about is helpful to you today! And BTW, have a Happy Valentine's Day!
