Wendy's® Jr. Frosty™ Halloween Coupon Book

I've been a fan of Wendy's® since I was a teenager. Back then I'd go thru the drive-thru with my friends before basketball games or with my brothers after school to grab some early dinner.

These days whenever I want to treat my kids to a fun budget friendly dinner I still choose Wendy's®. My family loves their burgers and their Jr. Frosty™ treats. In this Texas heat a Frosty is the best way to wrap up dinner. I enjoy our family time and all the laughs we share together.

I'm happy to share with you that you can get a Jr. Frosty™ Halloween Coupon Book for $1 during the month of October. Ninety cents of every $1 Halloween Coupon Book sold between September 13 to October 31, 2014 will benefit the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption® . Coupons are valid for use: November 1, 2014 through February 1, 2015.

I can't imagine life with out my two little ones. All children deserve a loving, caring home that they feel safe in. That they can call their own. Did you know that there are more than 100,000 children in foster care awaiting adoption? Thanks to Wendy's® consumers and the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption®, 4000+ children have found adoptive families. 

For 22 years, Wendy's® has supported foster care adoption. This year, Wendy's® aims to give $10 million to the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption®.

I love the idea of a coupon book. We'll be using our coupons to reward Savannah for completing her chores and reading minutes every week. Everyday we check off her tasks and we log her reading minutes. At the end of the week if she has met her goal we treat her to a Jr. Frosty™ using her coupon book.

The coupon books would also make really nice stocking stuffers, teacher gifts or a nice addition to your  candy bowl for trick or treaters.  
Visit your local Wendy's® to purchase a Jr. Frosty™Halloween Coupon Book* for $1, which benefits the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption®!
*Coupon book may contain coupons for 5 or 10 free Jr. Frosty™ treats. Prices and participation may vary. Ninety cents of every $1 coupon booklet sold between 9/15/14 and 10/31/14 will benefit the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption®. Coupons valid from 11/1/14 to through 2/1/15. ©2014 Oldemark LLC

Give a Minute. Help Make-A-Wish

Happy Friday! Although none of us want to admit the holiday season is THIS CLOSE to rearing is cheerful head. One of the best ways to get in the spirit a little early is to give back. During the month of September Straight Talk Wireless is donating $1 to Make-A-Wish for each person that takes a minute to  learn about Straight Talk at their participating Wal-Mart. 

Straight Talk will donate a minimum of $500,000 and up to $1,000,000. If you don't live near a Wal-Mart you can still give back by sharing and viewing this video. Your views will help toward the overall million dollar goal. Great, right?  This is the second year that Straight Talk has hosted this program. Last year they were able to meet their million dollar goal! 

Like Straight Talk, we want to help grant a sick child's wish. So, if you're in the market for a new cell phone or thinking about gifting one this holiday season please learn more about Straight Talk's service. They have an unlimited plan for $45 per month that is perfect for a texting talking data needing teenager.

Military Momma Baby Shower

Hi everyone. Sorry I've been slacking this week. We've been busy with gymnastics (which was a disaster), dance and play dates. I've also been busy with eBay and the neighborhood yard sale page. It's not as easy as I thought it would be to sell my daughter's super cute wardrobe. Anyway. I did have the opportunity to attend a baby shower yesterday along with forty nine other expecting ladies. It was great!

I didn't take pictures during the shower, but I wish I had. This was an event for military members and their spouses so I left my blogger hat at home, kind of.  There were guest speakers who spoke briefly about finances, breastfeeding and resources available to military families. We played some pretty fun games and we had lunch. I really enjoyed myself. Operation Homefront did an amazing job with this event. If you are a military service member or spouse in your second or third trimester in Texas please check out the Operation Homefront site to find out about events and resources in your area.

All of the Moms went home with a thirty-one bag filled with spa goodies. Here is my bag and all of it's contents.

I can not wait to try out the mani and pedi set. I am long overdue for a little pampering session. The candle in the bag smells amazing too. I was very happy with what we received.

Of course if it's a baby shower you have to be showered with items for your baby too. So all of the Moms went home with a huge tote bag filled with everything from outfits and onesies to diapers and wipes. There was even an Aveeno bath kit in the bag. I was especially happy about that. 

Before we left they pulled names for door prizes. They gave away baby gear mainly. I was one of the six winners and I received a walker. I was beyond excited!

I was so lucky to be chosen as one of the fifty expecting Moms. I had a great time and am so thankful for everything we received. It's so weird being away from family and friends during a pregnancy. This was a great way to celebrate baby number two. Thanks again to Operation Homefront for giving all of us a little piece of home.
