 I have wrote and published a post every single day so far! I broke the 1,800 goal for followers on Twitter, I'm doing my first ever weekly blog post round up and I got to join in on my first ever Mission Giveaway!

 Mission Giveaway is a group of bloggers that like to give back, pay it forward and work as a team. I an honored to be a part of this amazing group, which leads me to my weekly round up. 

I would like to introduce you to the bloggers I got to know this week via Mission Giveaway. They helped, supported, made me laugh, and provided me with food for thought on their posts. I hope you will take a minute and visit them.


Meet my new friends:
  • Dina at My Unentitled Life has easy $5 or Less Easter Decorations that look fun to make.

  • Check out Donna's re-make of Shamrock Pretzels over at Donna's Deals and More. 

  • Katrina at Enchanted Savings has a great re-make of Homemade Fish Sticks that I can't wait to try.

  • Try out this Lemon-Lime Cupcakes recipe for St. Patrick's Day from Amber over at Living At The Whiteheads Zoo.

  •  Megan at Meg's Moxie shared an exercise option not to be missed free exercise options without leaving the house.

And as I said earlier, I was a busy bee here as well. Check out Kroger's Cart Buster Event to save today!  My Pin It To Win it giveaway is underway! And before you leave to visit my friends, take a minute to meet Rusty Mechanism he is a recycled marvel!


I love meeting new bloggers and reading their take on all sorts of subjects. I would love to meet you (and add you to my weekly roundups), so please leave me a comment.

Have you been shopping and saving this week during Kroger’s Cart Buster Savings event? I have gotten to take advantage of some really awesome deals. Don’t worry if you haven’t done your shopping just yet, there is still time! But not much:  These deals go away on March 16th!

There are hundreds of products on sale throughout the store. Kroger always clearly marks sale items so you can shop more efficiently. During Kroger’s Cart Buster Savings event, you’ll find deals on Tide, Pampers, Bounty, Gatorade and many other favorites from P & G and Pepsi.
 For a complete list of brands on sale, click HERE Once you've looked over participating brands, set aside some time make your shopping list and organize your coupons. Your wallet will thank you.

On Monday, I was able to stock up and save on Bounty paper towels and Tropicana orange juice.  With Spring Break right around the corner for my kids, today I will stock up on some of their favorites like Tostitos and Gatorade.
 I am planning ahead because I know there will be at least one sleep over in my future, so I want to save on these items that seem to evaporate around kids. I will also replenish our Pantene shampoo and conditioner supply during this savings event. 


Another fun element to Kroger’s Cart Buster Savings event is the Select Your Deal option.

This is an easy and fun way to save even more! Head on over HERE today March, 15th, sign in to your Kroger account (you must have a Kroger.com account and sign in to get the coupons). Once you are signed in, Kroger will generate 3 random coupons for you to choose from. Then you just select your deal and it will be loaded onto your Kroger shopper card.  This is a super easy way to really save on items.  Today is the final day to take advantage of the Select Your Deal coupons. 

I went first thing this morning and selected a $ 2.00 off Crest 3D White toothpaste!

Since these are randomly selected deals, your deals will probably be different, but  with products such as Tropicana orange juice, Secret deodorant, Pantene, DiGiorno pizza and more;  I’m sure you will be served up a can’t miss deal.

I hope you will be able to shop and save during Kroger's Cart Buster Savings event.

From the top of his head to his great big feet, Rusty is a marvel!

Meeting Rusty; taking the time to stop and get to know him, instead of just hurrying past him into the mall was the highlight of our recent visit to The Factory in Franklin, TN. The kids loved it, and it didn't cost a thing!

Family Movie Night Fun

in , , , , , , , by Linda A Kinsman, Monday, March 11, 2013


We are big fans of a Friday night movie and a pizza. Our kids' movie choices are usually animated, so we were delighted when we got the opportunity to watch a DVD sampler set of movies from DreamWorks.  

They sent us an awesome movie night pack which contained:

Set of 4 DreamWorks Animation DVD samplers
"The Croods: Grub's Survival Guide" book
"The Croods: Movie Novelization" book
Film Reel tin filled with movie theater treats



movie night fun pack





We all know how much we've grown to love our favorite characters 
from the DreamWorks Animation films like Shrek, How to Train Your Dragon, Kung Fu Panda, Madagascar, and more.

For a special time (until March 15th or while supplies last), Big G and DreamWorks Animation have teamed up to create four collectible DVD samplers containing content from Shrek, How to Train Your Dragon, Kung Fu Panda and Madagascar, just for you!
Each DVD contains fun episodes, behind the scenes footage and bonus material from your favorite DreamWorks Animation movies. 

Hurry, and collect all four! Plus, look for an exclusive sneak peek at "The Croods", coming to theaters March 22, 2013.

You can only receive these four collectible DVD samplers by purchasing specially marked boxes of your favorite Big G cereal, seen below.

We enjoyed our snacks and the DVD samplers. The favorite among the girls was, of course, the sneak peek of "The Croods".

The Croods had us laughing!



The girls really want to see the movie now after seeing the sneak peek and reading the books, so we are adding a trip to see "The Croods" as one of our spring break treats. 

I hope you will be able to get your own set for a fun family movie night at your house. I am lucky enough to be able to share this gift pack with my niece and nephews, who live out of state. I think they will have as much fun as we did watching these DVDs and enjoying the treats. And, it might even get me some cool Auntie Cred! 


What is your favorite DreamWorks movie? I’m still rather fond of How to Train Your Dragon.
