Little Monkette’s Gift

You may recall this post from about a week and a half ago. Little Monkette did a great job finding a cool gift to give to her big brother, Little Monkey, when he comes to meet her at the hospital. I was able to go back with my $10 coupon and buy another Tag Reader for just $3.55 after taxes! I returned the one I had bought before and got the money back for it.

I found out online that some of the tag books were on clearance at Kmart. There were also some coupons for $3 off the books too! I forgot to print the coupon the first time I went, but I picked up one book. At another store, I had my coupons and got two books for $4.xx (and a coupon printed out for $5 off another book!). So far Little Monkette has a total of four books to give Little Monkey with his Tag reader. There are plenty of other books out there that I’m sure we will work on getting some of them. His Tag reader can only hold five books worth of audio at a time. I spent last night getting it all set up so that whenever the time comes he’ll be able to use it right away. (It would not be a good sight to see to give a three year old a gift and then take it away because it needs batteries and computer downloads!

Here are the books Little Monkey will already have from Little Monkette:

I am hoping to get him the carrying case and probably some other books, although I’m not in a big rush for either. We’ll see how much he likes it when he gets it. It seems pretty cool to me and you can put headphones into the Tag reader so that we don’t all have to listen to every book he wants to read!

Little Girl Needs A Blog Name

Okay folks, she really could show up just about any day now….and we still don’t know what we are going to call her on the blog. I need some ideas…otherwise Big Monkey wants to call her Little Monkette.

So if you have any ideas, leave me a comment and we’ll see if we can come up with something!

Darn You Walgreens!

This morning I woke up to an email from Walgreens saying that due to “technical” issues, they had CANCELLED my collage print order. They did put a coupon code in my account for 20% off anothe collage print, but 20% off is NOT the same as FREE. Oh well, sometimes FREE is too good to be true. I wish they would have let me resubmit the order to another Walgreens. I mean, there are like three other Walgreens that are local to us. Oh well. I had ordered a very cute collage print of pictures from over the summer of Little Monkey. Too bad.

Did anyone else have issues with getting their free collage print?

Free 8×10 Collage Print-Walgreens

This deal expires today but the good news is that you can pick it up at your local Walgreens and avoid shipping charges! So it really will be FREE! I plan to make one and probably use it as a gift.

Head over to Walgreens and upload some pictures and make your own 8×10 Collage print. When you go to check out, use coupon code FUNDAY and choose to pick up your print at your local store. (You do not have to pick it up today but you do have to order it by today to use the code.)

Another Freebie from Walgreens

I think I might take advantage of this one…just have to find the perfect picture!

Today at Walgreens online, you can order an 11×14 Poster and use the code FREEPOSTER to get it FREE! Thanks to Jennifer for pointing out my information was actually wrong…..You can get the poster free but you will have to pay shipping (Min $1.99) to get it to your house. Bummer but still not a horrible deal.

Now to decide on a perfect poster picture…or maybe I’ll make a collage in Photoshop and have that printed…. Once again don’t forget that photos can make great gifts!

Free 8×10 Today Only!

You can order an 8×10 photo from Walgreens today and choose in store pickup and not pay anything! Remember 8×10 photos can make great gifts!

You don’t have to pick up your photo today, but you do have to order it online today. Use the code 8×10 to get it free!

Sorry I have nothing really great to post about but I wanted to show you two things that you might be interested in.

First off-Today is a Woot Off! Lots of stuff you probably don’t want but every once in awhile that one item you just can’t live without. So head over to Woot.com today and maybe you will find something you just have to have!

Also today over at We Are THAT Family, it is Works for Me Wednesday. Every week, people link up with posts on their own blogs about “What Works for Them.” There is always a large assortment of the types of things people post, but one that I ran across this morning is VERY simple and a yummy snack. I will probably be making them later! (Hey the baby NEEDS chocolate!) To find out about this yummy snack, head over to Bake at 350 for the post!

Free Movie Monday!

It is the first Monday of July and that means it is time for another FREE movie Monday!

Today’s code is: 4J7LF6 and it expires at midnight!

Enjoy your free film!

Bejeweled Bomb

Bejeweled is a time consuming addictive game. It is now available on Facebook. You can compete against your  friends. But be warned, if you start playing you will waste many hours trying to get a higher and higher score and show up all your friends.

Today we were hanging out at the beach house and kept trying to play Bejeweled. It wouldn’t load. We went out to a movie and grocery shopping and came back. We tried Bejeweled again (I told you it was addicting.), still nothing. And now we know why. On the Facebook Bejeweled Biltz page a note had been posted:

BEJEWELED BLITZ IS CURRENTLY OFFLINE

There was a major fire at Bejeweled Blitz’s server hosting facility last night. We would like to say that the heat of everybody’s gem swapping burned up the servers, but unfortunately in this case it was an actual fire.

Bejeweled Blitz will not be available until the damage is cleaned up and generators are brought in to restore power. Our current estimate is that we will be back up later tonight (Seattle Time).

When the game does come back up, you may notice that some of your friends’ scores from this week appear to have been erased. Don’t worry — all scores are safe and secure in our database, and they will start to show correctly as you and your friends visit the game.

Thanks for playing Bejeweled Blitz. We are working very hard to get the game up and running for you as soon as possible, and we appreciate your patience.

- The Bejeweled Blitz Team

Bummer! Guess we’ll have to watch tv and play Wii. Hopefully they will get Bejeweled up and running soon and we can waste more time!
