COUPONS/SAMPLES/FOOD DISCOUNTS DAY

80% off Restaurant.com code.

Get 80% Off with every order of $25 Gift Certificates. Use code LUCKY and pay ONLY $2 for each $25 Gift Certificate thru 4/30.

**If your unfamiliar with how restaurant.com works:
Restaurant.com had partnered with tons of Restaurants to offer deep discounts when you dine out. Basically you search through the participating restaurants by typing in your zip, choose one you like and purchase a certificate to get a HUGE discount on your meals. Before the certificate can be used, you do have to purchase a minimum amount at the restaurant. This amount varies depending upon the certificate amount you purchase. For example: if the restaurant says you have to have a minimum purchase of $50 dollars, then that means you will have to at least spend $50 before you can use the $25 gift certificate. So you would end up getting $75 worth of food for only $50 after the gift certificates used.***

I have never used these or tried them. Have heard about it several different places--- even the news a few weeks ago. I have seen several restaurants that are in my area on here so I think I might give it a try and at these rates why not right?!

Farm day

My parents have some friends that own a ranch north of here. Since my dad is a farm boy at heart he has really enjoyed being able to help out up there by tending the cows, doing maintenance on things and now growing a huge garden etc. One of the spring calves was abandoned by his mother so he is by the house and fed by bottle etc. Sam was able to go to the farm one day last week and help Pa do all the farm duties:

1. meet baby cow

2.) help feed baby cow a bottle 3)talk to and hug baby cow while Pa finished feeding the bottle4) hop on gator5) sit there/hold on while riding around on the land6) allow Ma and Molly along for the ride6)put feed out for the deer (got to make sure it is smooth :) )7) meet Dottie's horse

8) hug and kiss Dottie's horse9)watch BIG bull come charging and snorting at Ma and a napping Molly on the gator as we continue to visit the nice horse (yes, I realize this picture is well, BAD, but it is the only one that I have of this HUGE angry animal charging)10) watch big angry bull calm down as we drive off out of his 'turf" 11) head out to take a QUICK look at the lake. (Sam didn't care for the moving dock very well)Top it all off with a cheeseburger at the local truck stop and you have yourself a WONDERFUL day on the farm with PA.

Thanks for a great day PA

Happy TAX DAY :(

Well, it is the dreaded TAX day. April 15 UGH. Hope you have all filed and are anticipating a refund (we can all hope can't we?) The ironic thing about it being Tax day is that it is the first night of our Dave Ramsey Financial Peace study at church. I know that Kirk and I are looking forward to it, as well as many families in the church.
Anyway, on to the post. In hopes to make today a little brighter I have found a few freebies and or good deals:

Free cinnabon bites. 5-8pm while supplies last

Maggie Moos one free single-scoop of ice cream in honor of Tax Day. MaggieMoo's will create its own "e-cone-omic" ice cream stimulus package for customers

P.F. Chang’s China Bistro Discount - Stop in for a meal and get 15% off your bill.

Chick-fil-a Rebate - I can’t find an official press release from them, but a few different news outlets are reporting on this so I feel it’s fairly legit. Go to your local Chick-fil-a on Wednesday, make a purchase, and save the receipt. Then take the receipt back any day between April 16-30 and get a free meal of whatever you purchased!

T.G.I. Friday’s Gift Card - Spend $15-$25 on April 15th and receive a $5 gift card. Spend over $25 and receive a $10 gift card.

Papa John’s Tax Day Pizza Special-Get a large cheese pizza and add up to three free toppings for only $10.40 when you order online.
Use the promo code 1040M (code expires 4/15/09)

McDonalds is giving away free chicken biscuit w/ med drink purchase (in AM) or free chicken sandwich w/ med drink purchase (in PM).. yet again, can't find the press release, so might want to ask prior to doing this one

Hope this helps ease the pain of taxes just a little bit

babys r us coupon

here is a coupon for $5 off $25 purchase. It does NOT state diaper and formula exclusions (like they usually do) and can be used in store or on line. The coupon is valid until 5/2 so plenty of time. Did you know that you can use other coupons along with Babies r us coupons and get things at an even better price?
for example:
buy 2 packages pampers at $12.99 each (total $25.98)
use $5 off $25 coupon
use 2 $1.50 coupons
final cost: $17.98 plus tax

There are many more scenarios like this, just be sure to give your $5 off $25 coupon FIRST before the other coupons or else your total will NOT be $25 and you will not be able to use it.


**** UPDATE**** ok, ok so, it seems they have now stated in the coupon NOT for sale on diapers/formula... did anyone get lucky enough to print it out before it changed?

tiptoe through the tulips...

It was a picture perfect day. The the flowers were gorgeous, the wind was not as strong, the camera batteries charged and our friends were dressed as cute as could be. This could only mean 1 thing.... tulip pictures at the Arboretum. Beware... picture heavy blog ahead:
Sam, Molly and I along with Alison and Josh and Faye, Hanna and Aubree headed to get "the perfect photo" well, they aren't perfect by any means, but here are just a few (out of over 200 taken-have I mentioned before that I LOVE digital cameras?) that actually looked ok:

Though it is a cute song, I am sure that the gardeners do not appreciate a cute little wild boy "tip toe (tromp) through the tulips" honestly... does his mother have NO control?!umm, aren't the flowers suppose to stay ON the stems?

Sam and Josh. I like this one because it looked like they are really having a grand time and deep conversation, when in all reality they didn't even notice that the other was there that day.

Sam, Josh and HannaSam and Hanna sweet embraceSam and Hanna enjoying the sites together (or was it that this was a good way to keep everyone together?) maybe a little of both....
