Yoursphere assignment #3

2010-06-20T16:23:00.000-07:00

I’ve been having Punky do all of this with me because she knows how to read and can do a lot of this by herself. It’s a little too advanced for Beans and Coco, so they aren’t really interested in it yet. I’m sure it’s just a matter of time before they see what Punky is doing and want to do it with her.
This next assignment was for Punky to play games in Yoursphere ’s virtual world called OurWorld.
She has been having fun playing the games. She LOVES computer games and so do I. We had a ton of fun playing the games and creating her avatar and learning everything about OurWorld. We definitely recommend it!! It’s been fun doing all of this with Punky! I'm still trying to pick up everything, but Punky has caught on to everything right away!

Yoursphere assignment #2

2010-06-20T16:22:00.001-07:00

Assignment #2 was to join some Spheres and leave some comments. Punky had NO problem at all finding things she likes and leaving comments! LOL She loves the videos the most.
Setting up her own sphere was a little difficult. It was easy to get it started, but adding a photo wasn’t as easy. But I’m not the best with that kind of stuff anyway, so it was probably more user error than anything. LOL We’ll see how it goes and if anyone joins her sphere. ;-)

Yoursphere assignment #1

2010-06-20T16:20:00.000-07:00

My first homework assignment for Yoursphere.com was to register and sign up my girls for the program. The registration process was very easy. I was able to set up accounts for all three of my girls in just a few minutes. The verification emails came right away and I didn't have to wait to continue the process.

Using the parent dashboard is really nice. I like being able to see what the girls did and what they posted and having the option to delete it if I feel it necessary.

Punky has been having fun with the site. She likes that she can make friends and post comments on videos and pictures. She loves to watch the videos and join Spheres. A sphere is a group where friends with like-minded interests like sports, music, fashion, gaming, academics, performing arts and more, interact. Yoursphere members can join any sphere, and can create their own – about anything they wish, and invite their friends. Punky made one for Coloring. Nobody has joined it yet, but she's still excited to check to see if someone has. Hopefully soon!

Yoursphere

2010-06-20T16:17:00.000-07:00

Yoursphere is a social network for kids and teens. It's a place where kids and make friends and talk to other kids that have the same interests.
They take children’s safety very seriously.
This is from their website: “We work very hard to make sure those on the site are who they say they are. This means we look at substantial amounts of data to verify identity and we require parental consent to open an account. Because of these two things, it’s very difficult for people to use fake names to create accounts.” The best line I read on the site was this: “We run all parent names against a comprehensive sex offender database. If the name is in that database, the account is blocked and the individual cannot enter the site.” To read more about how they keep our kids safe, go here: http://yoursphere.com/safety-first I really like that they are so vigilant about it.

The site is free to join and use!

I am participating as a Yoursphere Test Drive Mom for 3 months. My girls and I have been playing around with the website a lot since getting started. They are having fun with it.

Just by being a Yoursphere member, and contributing positively to the community, you earn rewards called "credits". Redeem your credits at any time for any gift in the gallery that you'd like.

Disney on Ice Let's Celebrate!

2010-02-08T09:52:00.000-08:00

This show was soooo much fun!!! We have fun every time we go to Disney on Ice, but this time was even better!!! They had all of the great characters that you know and love plus the new ones from The Princess and the Frog--Princess Tiana and Prince Naveen!!
The show was more interactive than the others we've been too. It made it so much more fun for the kids to be 'helping' Mickey!
I also must say that the skaters were phenomenal!!! They performed some really great skills in this show! Olympic caliber for sure!!
We had so much fun! I HIGHLY recommend going to see this show when it comes to your town! Don't forget the coupon deal to get a great deal on tickets!

COUPON: Purchase a 4-pack of tickets for only $44 (Valid Monday-Thursday and Friday Matinees, excluding holidays) and save $4 on all weekend shows by logging onto www.ticketmaster.com and the coupon code in the MC promotion box: MOM

$1 coupon for General Mills Cereals!!

2009-12-17T18:20:00.000-08:00

Here's a GREAT coupon for General Mills Cereals from MyBlogSpark! Click HERE to get it!

This week General Mills announced a commitment to further reduce sugar in cereals advertised to kids under 12 to single digit grams of sugar per serving. The company has already been reducing sugar in cereals while increasing key nutrients, such as calcium and vitamin D, and providing whole grain.

Did you know that ready-to-eat cereal eaters consume less fat, less cholesterol and more fiber than non-cereal eaters? Cereals also deliver important vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients, making cereal a top source of key nutrients in children´s diets.

Other cereal benefits:

Ready-to-eat cereals, including presweetened cereals, account for only 5% of sugar in children´s diets.

Ready-to-eat cereal is the No. 1 source of whole grains in a child´s diet today.

More frequent cereal eaters tend to have healthier body weights and lower Body Mass Index measures.

Studies also demonstrate the benefits of eating breakfast. A 1998 study showed that children who eat breakfast tend to perform better at school. Compared to children who skip breakfast, children who eat breakfast score higher on tests, are less likely to miss class or be tardy, have fewer reported discipline problems, and make fewer trips to the office.

For more information about kids and cereals, please visit Cereal Health and Wellness .

Holly and Hal Moose from Build-A-Bear

2009-12-08T11:10:00.000-08:00

I got the chance to review Holly and Hal Moose from Build-A-Bear. They are soooo cute! We love Build-A-Bear! The girls all have their own bears from their birthday party last year. I also have my own elephant from there. Now Joseph is claiming Hal as his own. :-) The girls just love to play with them. They came all decked out in full clothing and when you squeeze Hals hand the lights on his antlers light up. So fun!!
Aren't they just the cutest little things?!! Plus they came with a copy of their book: Holly and Hal Moose: Our Uplifting Christmas Adventure. It is a fun story and my girls have loved reading it over and over! It even tells how Hal got the lights stuck in his antlers. hehe
You can pick up these cute little guys at your local Build-A-Bear or you can shop at Build-A-Bear online!
You can watch a preview of the Holly and Hal Moose: Our Uplifting Christmas Adventure DVD HERE. It's on DVD now and you can pick up your own copy here for a great stocking stuffer that your kids are sure to love.

So much fun at the circus!!

2009-11-06T07:04:00.000-08:00

We went to the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus “Zing, Zang, Zoom,” last night. It was so much fun! We got to go down onto the floor of the arena and meet the clowns. (Well, Alanna didn't, she was scared of them but she loved them from a distance.) You can see short little shows and get autographs if you get there early enough. You even get to watch one of the elephants paint! So cool. I love elephants. :-) The acrobatics were amazing!! Those people are so brave! I seriously thought my heart was going to stop a few times while watching them! LOL They were just incredible! All of my girls really enjoyed it too. I think their favorite parts were with the horses and elephants. Brynne loved the zebras (they are her favorite animals). I just asked Alanna what her favorite part was and she said,"All of it!!" It really was a great show!

There are still a lot of days left to go see the circus! They are still at the AllState Arena. They will be there until November 15 . Then they will be at the United Center from November 17 to 29.

Disney Live! was soooo much fun!!

2009-10-23T19:21:00.000-07:00

If you have the chance to go see Disney Live! Rockin' Road Show I would highly recommend it!! It was a BLAST!!!!! The girls had so much fun! It is a great interactive show! The 'host' Chris was funny and gave the kids ample opportunities to scream, dance and laugh! Cori's favorite part was when Tigger came out and everyone was encouraged to get up and BOUNCE!! It was great to see the theater full of kids bouncing and laughing! What a sight! I'm so glad we had the opportunity to go.

5 cent prints at Clark Color

2009-03-17T16:45:00.000-07:00

I love Clark Color. I've used them many times in the past. Not as of late though, but as soon as I am done with school (less than a week!!!!!!!!!) I will get back in to scrapbooking! I've had nothing but good experiences with them. I have even earned free 8x10's from using them so much. They have GREAT deals and shipping is very reasonable. Every time I've ordered I have added my total for pics and shipping and divided it by the number of prints. Figuring it out that way I haven't paid more than 9 cents a print! You can't get that at any store I know of! You also get 20 free prints just for joining. If someone sends you a link to refer you to them, then they get 20 free prints too!! If you want a referral, let me know. I would be more than happy to send you one!!
Oh, so the code for the 5 cent prints right now through April 1st is 5CPRINTS9

The fine print: Offer applies to a maximum of 75 4x6 prints ordered online only.
Does not include shipping & handling. One time use.

Cheese, cheese and more cheese!

2009-03-07T15:25:00.000-08:00

Thanks to Mummydeals for sharing this deal idea.

At Jewel
There are overlapping CAT deals for Kraft 2% cheese starting 3/6! You have to do this deal between 3/6 and 3/15/09.
Deal 1) Spend $25 or More when you Buy Select Kraft, Starkist, Arnold, Brownberry or Oroweat products between 3/4 and 3/22 and get $10 CAT.
Deal 2) 3/6 - 3/29: Buy 2 kraft 2% cheese, get $1 CAT. Buy 3 kraft 2% cheese, get $2 CAT.
Buy 4 kraft 2% cheese, get $3 CAT!!

Deal Idea:
* Buy 7 bricks or shredded 2% cheese at $2/bag (sale price through 3/15).
* Spend $14 out of pocket and get back one $10 and one $3 catalina (if you buy 4 bags of 2%).
* $1 for 7 things of cheese!!

I went with my Mom today and we got a total of 7 pounds of cheese for $5!! I had a $10 catalina from the Popcorn deal at Jewel last week, so I was able to use it to keep my oop really low.
I don't know if this deal stacks, so we did it in two different transactions. Joseph will probably go back later to get more mozzarella. We go through that pretty fast with how often we make our own pizza.

FREE Pillsbury Pie Crust at Meijer!!

2009-03-05T13:15:00.000-08:00

The Pillsbury Pie Crust is reduced to 50cents at Meijer (not sure how long this deal lasts). When you purchase 4, you get a $2 OYNO CAT. There are also 50c/2 Man Qs that expire 3/7 If you have this Q, it will make this deal a Moneymaker!

Plus you can roll the CAT, so you only have to pay for the first 4 pie crusts!!

Cheap meat at Super Target!

2009-03-05T10:03:00.000-08:00

We're having roast for dinner tonight because last night after school I got a good 1.5 pound roast for only $1!! Go to Target.com and go all the way to the bottom of the page to Grocery coupons to get the Sutton & Dodge coupon. If the steaks or roasts at your store are only $2 you can get them for free!!!

You can also get cans of chicken noodle soup for only 29 cents a piece using a coupon from there too. The soup is only 54 cents and the coupon is for 50 cents off two. It's like buy one get one free! Plus it is pretty good.

DQ has a new value menu!

2009-02-28T14:47:00.000-08:00

I LOVE Dairy Queen!! I have very fond memories of my dad buying Dilly Bars for us all to share.
Now they have a great new value menu. What's their SweetDeal? You can mix and match any of their 9 menu items to make your meal of choice! There are endless combinations!!
Here is something special you can do and all you have to do is:

Write a blog post linking here about what deal you’d make with us to try our SweetDeals for free.
Once you’ve done this, email blog@idq.com with a link to your post and your mailing address and we’ll ship you a gift card.
Only the first 250 bloggers to email us with the link to their post and address will win a gift card, so act fast!

A special bonus: Be as creative as you can as the best entry (chosen by the DQ blog team) will get treated to DQ SweetDeals every week for a whole year.

I think I would take my girls with me and we'd all get sundae or the dipped cones. We are very much an ice cream family! :-) If I were to go with my dh we would probably get a hot dog, chicken wrap, fries, and sundae to share. I know, it's cheesy, but you gotta admit it's romantic. You can have a romantic meal with your love for only $5!!! ;-)
