Eating out? Get $$ back!

by

There are tons of online shopping rebates, but this is the first time I have seen one for eating out!  I don’t have to make dinner?  You had me at eating out, sign me up!  Mogl gives you 10% cash back at any of the participating restaurants.  It really is that easy!  Sign up, eat out, receive cash back!  I know some of us are a little weary to give out our credit card number online, however this is only to track where you spend money and to give you money back!  A friend of mine told me about this months ago and just finally invited me and I’m excited to share it with you now!  To sign up go here.

BevMo! 5-cent SALE is here!

by

The BevMo! 5-cent sale is back!!!  Buy the first bottle of wine at normal BevMo prices and the second bottle is only 5-cents!  Don’t forget there are great options for ordering online.  They will have it ready and you may pick it up within the hour.  It scares me to bring my son into a store with nothing but tons of glass bottles.  It was a little easier when he was still able to sit in the cart but now he is a big 5-year-old.  That is why I love the pick up option!

With the holidays coming this is a great idea to stock up on wine for parties.  I never show up for a party without wine in hand, now that would just be unheard of!  Today is the first day and some wines will sell out rather fast so I recommend going to the location nearest you today.  For more information or to find a location nearest you click here.

Soccer Mom?

by

Is being a soccer mom really THAT bad?  My mom was a soccer mom, and she totally rocked the mini van (and actually still does.)  Today is a normal Saturday morning, except I’m thinking about what type of snack I should buy for my son’s soccer team.  I’m the snack mom today, those two words alone are pretty funny snack mom.  I am a total soccer mom.  Okay I’ve said it, now I just need to accept it!  Soccer is in my blood I played since I was 5 as did both of my brothers.  My parents run the biggest youth soccer tournament in the nation, so my son playing soccer is just apart of growing up.  Why am I having such a hard time accepting the role as soccer mom?  My son plays soccer and I am his mom… soccer mom, soccer mom, soccer mom.  Maybe if I just say it over and over again it will help.  No such luck.  I feel like soccer mom’s are a mess, not a stitch of make up, hair with no product, beach bag as a purse, wearing mom jeans, and I am none of these things.  I won’t even go to the gym without make up, if I don’t want to see me with no make up on I figure no one else should either.  When I think of a soccer mom I still think of a 90’s soccer mom and it is 2011!  I think we (soccer mom’s) need to change the meaning of the word!  “Did you see Billy’s mom’s new BCBG shoes and Coach bag… wow what a soccer mom!”  Okay, so that may not happen but I’m a new soccer mom hoping it does!
