More cash! Need some?! $$$

It’s the holidays! And if you’re anything like me, that means you’re wishing you had just a little (or a lot!) more cash to play with and buy gifts. Well, here’s just what you’ve been wishing for! I’ve teamed up with some great bloggers to offer not one, but TWO cash giveaways! You can enter one, you can enter both, or you can enter none (but that’s just silly!). Winners will be announced on the 23rd and

Need $100? Enter here to win a gift card!

Steve and I just had a discussion tonight about gifts this holiday season… we’ve spent way too much money lately, but it has all been on our new house and on our incredibly spoiled little boy! We have almost no gifts yet for Christmas and LOTS of people to buy for! We tried to brainstorm what to get each person, but some of them are so hard!

Gift cards are nice for people that are tough to buy for or for people out of town… but a gift card to where?! What’s their favorite store? What do they need? Where do they want to eat? AH MORE DECISIONS.

Thanks to Array Gift, you can buy one gift card and the recipient can select where they want to use it–from over 500 retailers! Seriously, every store you could want is on there.

And? These cards have no fees and no expiration dates.

You can instantly buy and send your gift card online – it will be emailed to the recipient or you can choose to print it. Once it is given as a gift, the recipient gets on Array Gift to redeem it! The image above shows what they’ll see. You can see I have a balance of $100 to redeem. If you know what store you want to use it on, you can type it in – otherwise you can browse alphabetically or search by category (food, clothes, etc.). There’s also a form you can print to redeem by mail, if you prefer.

I used mine on Walmart. Part of me wanted to use it on something FUN (like chocolate?!), but I decided to be responsible… Walmart is basically the only store in this new small town we just moved to and they have almost everything. The $100 will be used well! AND instead of getting one $100 card to Walmart, I decided to get FOUR $25 cards to Walmart, in case we decided to use some of them as gifts! Handy!

Want to try it out?!

Diaper Daisy: grand re-opening giveaway!

YAY! Diaper Daisy is BACK! Mom-owned, this adorable online shop is run by Jess and Robyn and 5 (soon-to-be 6!) diapered lil babies! You can fill all of your cloth diapering needs here and – best of all–learn all about cloth if you’re new to it. Steve and I were slow to start cloth because we were so overwhelmed with all the different kinds and terms and information online – AH! At Diaper Daisy, you can get a run down on all the types and terminology, frequently asked questions and even get help with washing them.

Diaper Daisy is also more than diapers. You can find baby carriers, swim diapers, training pants, natural baby care products, accessories like wipes, pail liners, wet bags, and laundry items, and stuff for mom like nursing pads, teas, and feminine pads. Some of my favorites:

But the COOLEST part of Diaper Daisy? Their diaper trial service. When we first looked into cloth diapering, everyone told us not to buy a ton of diapers of only one type or brand. They said we might not end up liking them or they might not work for our baby. I thought… so we buy a bunch of random types and brands and then when we figure out what we love, we buy more of that? Well that seems like a waste, too! Right?! And having no idea what we were doing, we had no idea where to start or what to try. So wouldn’t you know we started with a no-obligation cloth diaper service, a lot like the one Diaper Daisy offers! PERFECT solution.

Their original cloth diaper trial package includes a bunch of different diapers to try for two weeks, no obligations. The amazing part? It’s only $20. You do have to pay $120 deposit, but you get it back upon return of the diapers (and they include the return envelope for you). You can try fitteds, pockets, covers, inserts, AIOs, one-size, etc. Check the link for the whole list!

They also have a cloth diaper trial service you can customize. Enter your baby’s weight (for correct diaper size), color preference (boy, girl or neutral), and then select certain brands or types of diapers you’d like to try. This one lasts for 3 weeks and costs $30. The rest of the money you pay for the diapers is refundable upon return of the diapers – or just keep the ones you like!

Also – don’t miss their SALE and GENTLY USED sections for items at a discount!

GIVEAWAY: in honor of this grand re-opening, you get a chance to win a $25 gift card to use on anything you’d like at Diaper Daisy! Even better? This whole week is filled with awesome Diaper Daisy giveaways, check them all out here and then use the form below to enter!

Are you ready to bloom? Get inspired...

I love paper because I love to-do lists. I’m pretty terrible at getting anything done unless I write it down and make a plan. But these days, I’m always on the computer and who knows where the crap I put that piece of paper. Ryan probably ate it. Or flushed it down the toilet.

Especially with being pregnant, there are a LOT of to-dos to keep track of… taking my prenatals every day (I’m terrible at that), trying to
