Freebies4Mom (freebies4mom.com) made a list of her fave freebies of 2009 and I picked my two favorites listed below. For the full list you can go to her site.

Being Girl Sample Kit which includes 2 Tampax Pearl Tampons, 1 Compak Pearl Tampon, 1 Always Infinity Maxi-Pad, 2 Always Pantiliners, and 1 Always Feminine Wipe. She says it also comes with a coupon for a free box of pads.

 Free full size bottle of Country Bob's all purpose sauce

Also, from hongkiat.com - here's a list of 30 free online multimedia editors. Some of them also allow you to store and share your digital photos. 

What are your New Year's resolutions as it relates to your children?

Mine is to stop holding on to clothes my daughter can no longer fit just because they are soooo cute! LOL. And to be honest with myself about what she can no longer fit. hahahaha

What are yours?

cherryculture.com for makeup

I just discovered this site and I love it because they have a wide variety of cool makeup and some of it is very inexpensive! And they offer free shipping if you purchase $40 worth. I only looked at the eyeshadow section b/c I'm an eyeshadow fanatic and they had lots of eyeshadow kits that were under $3. Some of them were brands I'd never heard of but they still had really bright & interesting colors. And they also had the popular store brands like Nyx & Sinful Colors. I definitely plan to try the Blah Blah eyeshadow brand b/c it was only $1 and also the Amuse and Wild & Crazy brands b/c they were among the least expensive and I am a fan of least expensive. lol

Valentines day for single ladies

Here are some ideas for "celebrating" Valentines day if you are a single chica.

I'd Rather be Single Than With My Ex! (Ex-orcising party) - Was your ex less than than desirable? Then get together with a bunch of friends who feel the same way, and have an Ex-orcism. Have friends bring old remembrances of their ex-mates such as stuffed animals, clothing, cards/letters, etc. to be "discarded" in the manner of your choice at the party. Play games like Bitter Arts & Crafts, and have a tape of the best "get on with your life" songs like, "I Will Survive," "What's Love Got to do With it," "It's My Party." You know which ones we mean. (www.party411.com)

 

Host a "chocolate and cocktails" party. Have all sorts of chocolate snacks and make chocolate cocktails. Might make for a stomach ache though. lol

 

Try a "self love" day. Just spend all day indulging in guilt-free pampering and doing whatever you like to do..

 

And you can always just ignore V-day and pretend it doesn't exist which is what I will likely do. :oP

If you are single, what are you doing for Valentine's day?

 

Since when is dropping a money order in the mail equivalent to parenting?

Contributing financially to the care of your child is definitely a part of being a parent. But it is a small part. And one shouldn't expect any explause for it. Sending me a "how is she doing" text message every few days and coming to see her every now and then when you are bored or didn't make plans with your girlfriend makes you nothing more than a sperm donor in my eyes. And to send me money to buy her a Christmas gift from you is quite sad when you have no reason why you can't do it yourself. It says you are incapable of spending more than 5 minutes thinking about her. A parent would be proud to take the time picking out a special gift for their child. You have no idea what it takes to be a parent -and have shown you don't have the time to find out - so please don't refer to yourself as one.

Old Navy's 60 gifts for $4.80 or less

On Old Navy's website they have listed out 60 gifts for $6 or less and there are items available for babies, children, men, & women. I am particularly fond of all the pretty gloves, scarves, and hats. But get this - if you use the code "onsave20", they actually end up being just $4.80! VERY cool right??? I think so.  And if you spend $50, you get free shipping! I think these prices are good until 12/13. Thanks to www.momsneedtoknow.com for this info.

free picture frame, voicemail #, and flash drive

Free picture frame from  Style Art & Frame. Nothing fancy but its still free! lol

You can sign up here for a free voicemail number you can pass out for business or pleasure and you can check the messages via email. I think this is kinda cool to use when first meeting a guy you "might" be interested in but are not sure. You don't have to give out your real number. You can always just deactivate this number if he ends up being a bugaboo. lol. Also would come in handy if your phone is broken or out of service.

Here's a free flash drive you can fill out for. It has a snowman on it and I'm sure Christmas will have come and gone by the time it is shipped but who cares.

Sooo....let me get this straight...

...you have changed your mind about having your daughter with you for Christmas because you have decided to go out of town with your girlfriend instead? You want to spend the holiday getting to know your gf's family when your own daughter barely knows you? Just checking. At least you have your priorities in order! What a LAME! But its all good - I will be so happy having her with me for Christmas anyway. Your loss.
