“12 Thrifty Trash To Treasure Crafts”~Free-bee eBook
I’ve been working on the concept of “reduce, reuse and recycle” with the twins…they’re pretty good about sorting the recyclables, but they don’t get the concept of reusing yet. The new eBook “12 Thrifty Trash To Treasure Crafts” arrived just in time–we’re going a couple of the crafts this weekend…
Zachie wants to do the “Plastic Bottle Lid Art” project. Oh, my budding Picasso!
MacLean is going for the “Colorful Paper Pens” idea…I think he’s sick of pawing helplessly through the house trying to find writing utensils… Click here to download your copy.
Free eBook: “42 Easy Gluten-Free Recipes”
Our twins are on a strict gluten-free diet, and it used to be very hard to find anything good to feed them. Fortunately, that’s changed, so there’s a zillion options if you’re joining the ranks. I really like “42 Easy Gluten-Free Recipes,” the cookbook has a couple of muffin and pancake recipes that the boys are going to love. You can click here to download.

20% Off Friends & Family Sale At Sears
Shopping through Ebates yet? I totally drank the koolaid when I found out my first purchase through Ebates made me $20.00 back in 2 minutes. You’ll get $5.00 credit in your account to sign up with Ebates–takes less than 2 minutes–and then you just shop any store you like. Ebates automatically tracks your purchase, and assigns you cash back. I didn’t realize until later that Ebates also offers special deals like free shipping and “friends and family” sale offers.
The latest is from Sears. Now through 8.16 (Monday) you can save up to an extra 20% off nearly everything online. That’s including sale and clearance items. Please let me gloat: we’ve been shopping for a new dishwasher since ours gave up the ghost. I bought a Kenmore stainless steel one for $319.00, down from $399.00. Take off an additional 20% off from Ebates, that’s $255.00. Free shipping because we’re picking it up at the store, and an additional 4% cash back in our Ebates account ($11.60). So, final deal? A $399.00 dishwasher for $243.40! Sign up for Ebates here… Have fun!
