Hey gals,
This week you can get a free ebook called Organizing 101 by going here. I love to organizing, and I love to pretend that I’m going to get more organized. ;) At least with this book there won’t be any clutter coming into the house, right?

Hey!
I just found out that you can get $300 worth of ebooks when you sign up for Living on a Dime’s newsletter. They have lots of great money-saving ideas there, so it would be well worth your while to get in on this deal and spread the word. Check it out here.
I’ve been swapping books for over a year now and love it. Almost every book I get is in very good condition. I use the Wish List feature a lot and have gotten several hard-to-find books this way.
Although I can sometimes get books from the library, it isn’t always convenient for me to pick them up or return them on time, and I often don’t have time to get the book read before the due date. So, PB Swap has been very helpful in getting me the books I want to read but don’t want to fiddle with the library for.
You don’t just have to trade paperbacks, either. You can also trade hard cover books and audio books. If you don’t have many books that you currently want to trade, you can always hit a used book sale on bag day and get a few books to get you started. (You get free book credits just for listing a few books to start with!) You can also buy credits with your paypal money which makes getting books cheaper than half.com too!
Swap a CD works the same way, only it’s for music. This is way better than trying to rid yourself of old CDs at a yard sale!
hey gals!
I have a sweet ebook freebie to recommend to you here. Lots of gift, activity, craft, and food ideas here!
I have been receiving newsletters from The Toymaker for years. I love it! Sweet and fun downloadable projects that you can print out for your children to enjoy. Lots of fun and neat stuff here! Check out the Toymaker here!
Hey Gals!
I found out about a great new online service that helps you with menu planning (even healthy recipes and vegetarian menus!) and ready-to-print shopping lists! You can check it out and get some great freebies here.
For those of you with kids that love to color, especially kids in the 7-12 age range, you will love the cool coloring pages from Raising Small Souls. These downloadable pages have intricate patterns and optical illusions. My 11 year old daughter loves stuff like this, but my 7 year old does too.
Click here to go to the opt-in page for the coloring pages. While you’re at it, check out the site. They have a lot of articles for parents there.
Probably most moms know that you’re never supposed to go to the grocery store without a list. Yes, it’ll help you spend less money if you’ve got a plan written down. For me, it’s most helpful to have a list so that the stuff I need to remember to get doesn’t fall through the cracks in my collander-brain! (There’s nothing quite so annoying as having shlepped all the way through the grocery store with kids in tow, and getting to the car and realizing that I forgot something that I really, really needed to get….)
This week I have a little freebie for you that will make your grocery shopping easier. It’s a cute little Grocery Shopping List that you can save to your computer and print out as often as you like. I enjoy having one of these lists taped to the front of the refrigerator so that I can write down the things we run out of, and put them directly into the category where I’ll find that item at the store. Waaaaay better than a helter-skelter list of stuff all jumbled together!
Enjoy! And feel free to tell your friends so they can come and get their free shopping list too!
Posh Points is a cool new trading site. It works sort of like ebay: you can list items you want to part with, and search for items you want to get. The trick is that everything is for trade, rather than for money!
You can register for FREE and get 15 points just for signing up! Check it out here.
Hey gals!
Do you love magazines? How about ones that make cooking quicker, easier, and more fun? You can sign up here for a FREE subscription to Kraft’s Food & Family magazine. They also have email newsletters you can get with lots of great ideas.
I always love looking through cooking magazines that have lots of ideas that are practical for my life. I hope you enjoy this tip!
Hey Moms!
My kids love to have stories on CD to listen to at bedtime. I recently told you about Homeschool Radio Shows and their free weekly downloads. Those are great, but with six kids in my home, we had already listened to all of them! I did a little internet hunting the other day and found StoryNory which is a really sweet web site with lots of free stories for you to download to your iPod or to make CDs for your kiddos. My children are enjoying them very much. Check it out!
Hey gals!
Here’s a little free goodie for you to enjoy with your children. This cute coloring book download features the letters of the alphabet and pictures of animals and plants.
It’s really pretty and will be a fun activity for your little ones. Even your older children will probably enjoy this since some of the pictures are of unusual animals, and the illustrations are very detailed. I know that my artistic 11 year old daughter will love it.
You can print out as many copies as you need, and you are welcome to share this with your friends and egroups.
Enjoy!
