Rise and Shine is my way of sitting down and having a cup of coffee with you! We talk about the new deals of the day, highlights from yesterday, and anything else that might help us save time, money or energy.
Good morning! Happy Friday! My son lost his second tooth last night! He is just so excited. And the tooth fairy brought him some shiny quarters and a shiny gold $1 coin. 🙂 That would be his tooth in the bag – they are so small, I’m scared we’ll lose it! Sister is counting the days until she loses one – although she has a few years.
Yesterday the Amazon deals were CRAZY. I can’t believe how many of you were able to snag up the Boys Nautica jackets for $6.69. Amazing. Amazing. The deal lasted for a few hours, too – so they must have had a lot of stock. I’m watching Amazon like a hawk these days because it seems these deals come without warning and they are so exceptional I don’t want to miss them! Were you able to snag the jacket before it sold out?
I’ve already received a few applications for the Recipe and Homemaking Contributor that I’m hiring. Keep ’em coming – I have some of the most talented readers! Read all about what I’m looking for here.
I mentioned yesterday that Great Wolf Lodge is having a Spring Sale – use code SPRING to pay as little as $139.99 a night. This is a HUGE savings over the regular rates. If you have a family of four this is only $35/night, which is unheard of! I heard from my friends on the Queen Bee Facebook page that this code is working for other locations!
Red Tricycle has a new giveaway – you can win the Ultimate Baby Registry – with top-of-the-line baby gear and products. Valued at more than $900, this would be a sweet prize for an expecting mom! To enter, start on the Red Tricycle giveaway page, enter your email and select a Red Tricycle newsletter edition (for example I would select Seattle) and click the big red ENTER button!
