Save Time Shopping the Walmart.com App & $25 Walmart Gift Card Giveaway

Walmart.com

Many of us are just so busy these days. Take the kids here, take the kids there, and sometimes the last thing you want to do is leave the house and go shopping. Who wants to spend time getting the kids dressed, drag them to the store, and you still might forgot something on your list because you got distracted and trying to keep your little one from running or climbing.

Walmart understands and has made it easier to shop Walmart.com with the Walmart smartphone app! The app is available on iPhone, Android, or iPad. I have to say shopping on my phone using the app was so easy. Walmart.com offers the great variety and savings on everyday low prices that you’ve come to love at your local Walmart, especially on your favorite P&G products. I was able to purchase all the everyday items I use already like Tide Pods, Charmin Ultra Strong Toilet Paper Mega Rolls, Mr. Clean, Bounty Select-A-Size Paper Towels, and Swiffer!

You can choose to have your purchase shipped directly to your house (shipping is free if you spend $50 or more) or shipped for free to the nearest Walmart location for a quick and easy pick-up with Site to Store. I ordered the items I needed as you can see in the picture below and I was able to pick up my order the SAME DAY at my local Walmart store. Walmart.com offers different payment options, including the option to Pay with Cash if you don’t want to use a credit card online. How great is that?!! Not everyone uses credit cards so this is really great. I also liked that I could pay with a gift card. By using the Walmart smartphone app, you can easily build a shopping list by scanning all the products you’re ready to purchase again.

I think this is such a great option plus if you are running out of say Tide Laundry Detergent then you scan the barcode with your phone and it will show up on the site for you to purchase more. How cool is that? As moms we need to use technology to help us and Walmart.com has certainly done that with this nifty little app for your smartphone or tablet.

The Giveaway

WAIT! You can enter for a chance to win a $25 Walmart Gift Card of your own! I hope you use the new app and let me know how easy it was to use.

One Lucky reader will receive a $25 Walmart Gift Card!

The giveaway will end on Monday August 18, 2014 at 11:59 PM EST.

SIMPLY RIGHT™ Infant Formula at Sam’s Club

This post brought to you by Sam’s Club. All opinions are 100% mine.

I loved bonding with my sons and holding them while I bottlefed them was a great time to unwind and just sit still for awhile. Fixing a bottle in the middle of the night doesn't seem so fun especially if you are still half asleep. I remember many times dozing off while feeding my son but I would still never trade those times for anything. They pass all too quickly.

You can get SIMPLY RIGHT™ Infant Formula at your local Sam's Club and it has three varieties. You can get Whether it is the Baby Care Gentle®, Baby Care Complete®, or Baby Care Sensitivity® SIMPLY RIGHT™. It is good to know that SIMPLY RIGHT™ Infant Formulas are Clinically proven to support growth and development, now with Lutein for brain and eye health! I know that would give me peace of mind to ensure my baby was getting all the best nutrients for proper growth and development.

What is really great about SIMPLY RIGHT™ Infant Formula is the scoop holder and leveler so no more guesses and it stays inside the container. The container has an easy open top which is great as who wants to fumble around trying to open a top in the middle of the night to make a bottle. The container is great for traveling and will keep the formula fresher longer.

SIMPLY RIGHT™ Infant Formula is very affordable which is another huge bonus. Use the savings calculator to see how much you can save per year compared to other formulas. I could save over $555 a year which is a great savings. What could you do with an extra $550 per year?

Personalize Valentine’s Day Cards at Treat.com

This post brought to you by Treat.com. All opinions are 100% mine.

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. Have you gotten your cards yet? Try using Treat.com as you can personalize Valentine’s Day Cards and make them even more special! I always buy cards for my husband, son, parents, the grandparents and now my niece as she is living with us. I was able to find all of them some really cute cards that I could personalize and make them even more fun than just buying cards off a shelf at the store. Even better is they will mail them for you or mail them to yourself and then give them out.

I always buy funny cards for my husband. It is what we do as we both do not like overly mushy cards. We like humor instead or even cheeky humor but I like to laugh. We both love to drink coffee and he is the coffee and I’m the round donut. Ok but it’s still cute and he will get a big kick out of the card as we both love our coffee.

Next I got my son this card as he loves cars and I personalized it with his picture that you can see here.

Then I got the following cards for my niece, my husband’s parents from our son, and then my mom. I love how cute they are and different than most of the cards I see in stores.

The inside cards are all personalized and in one of them I was able to add my son’s picture. The backs can be personalized as well. They have different colored fonts, script styles and much more! I really had fun making them as well. You can #SendMoreLove this Valentine’s Day.

Did you know you can also use your iPhone and we’ll print and mail it for you. Or send them as electronic card as well and add to social media. The possibilities are endless! No more missed birthdays, long checkout lines or last-minute drugstore dashes. They also offer a reminder service so you don’t forget important occasions. You can also add a gift card or Photo Gifts to the card which is really great!

Treat is giving me this Code: SENDMORELOVE

You can enjoy 3 cards for $6. Mail all 3 to yourself for free or direct to each of your recipients for just the price of a stamp. (Exp: 2/28/2014. Regular, one time use)

11am Pacific on 2/10/14 to get it in time for Valentine’s Day.

Snap a picture of the cards they order and share via Instagram using hashtag #SendMoreLove

National Girl Scout Cookie Weekend is Feb 7-8 #cookieboss

girl-scouts1

Disclaimer: I am part of the Mom It Forward blogger network. Mom It Forward and Girl Scouts of America partnered in support of this campaign. I was compensated for participation in this campaign. However, all thoughts and opinions are 100% my own.

Girl-Scout-Cookies

My favorite time of the year is when the Girl Scouts sell their cookies! It takes me back to when I was in the Girl Scouts and selling my cookies to friends and family. They also looked forward to it every year and I would get orders before the event so it was nice to know I had a great selling product that people loved to buy. The Girl Scouts taught me lots of things about my community as well as about myself. I learned to have more confidence and also some valuable selling as well as marketing skills. I was the #cookieboss! My nieces were also in the Girl Scouts and you better believe I had my order in ahead of time as I wanted those Thin Mints! My favorite cookie and still is even today!

Girl-Scout-Life-Building-Skills

Girl Scouts is kicking off National Girl Scout Cookie Weekend starting February 7-8, 2014! You can get your cookie fix in but also this is a chance for everyone to learn what valuable life skills these girls can learn and help out her own local community. They earn badges but also about money, business, helping others and so much more. It is wonderful for the girls, the leaders, and the community involved. Plus you can find out where you can buy the cookies in your area! Help another little girl to become the #cookieboss while teaching her long life skills she will never forget and pass on in the future.

Girl-Scout-Cookie-Party

WAIT! On February 5, 2014 you can join Girl Scouts, Mom It Forward, and our panel of experts to celebrate National Girl Scout Cookie Weekend. Join the conversation to talk all things cookie (yum), learn about this season’s sweepstakes, and discuss the 5 skills girls acquire while participating in the largest girl-led business. The party starts Wednesday, February 5 from 8 -9 p.m. CT. See here for details about the giveaway. (Hashtags #gno #cookieboss)

Bakery Crafts Batman Cupcake Cake Review & Giveaway

This post brought to you by Bakery Crafts. All opinions are 100% mine.

I know it’s cheaper to make your own cake, but lately I will be honest I am short on time. Between the recent move, school full-time, the house renovations and working my time is precious to me. I am not much of a baker. My mom loves it but again it is too chaotic. I really do order a lot of my son’s birthday cakes at the Walmart bakery. Bakery Crafts makes a delicious cake and have several choices from sheet cakes to even festive cupcake cakes. I really love those cupcake cakes as they look like a cake but you can order more than flavor if you want.

My son picked out the Batman theme which came with the iconic Bat Mobile and his other vehicle plus a ring he can wear. It was well decorated and we received 24 cupcakes with half chocolate and the other half vanilla. It covers all the people who may like chocolate and not white cake and vice versa. I also got the butterceam whipping which tastes like homemade icing. It is really delicious!

The Batman Car has Batman inside. You can see him sitting inside. My son thought this was too cool.

My son was thrilled with his cake, and he had a little trouble blowing out all of his candles which was funny. He was able to have his friends hang out with him and had fun playing with the cake decorations and the ring. They have a wonderful choice of Cake Kits to order from but my son has always been a fan of Batman. I love ordering the licensed cakes as he can pick out his favorite character which usually changes from year to year. I would definitely buy another cake from them again and have several times. The cake is affordable and again it’s nice to call my order in and have it ready to be picked up before the party. The cake is fresh and very tasty. I loved the chocolate cupcakes as I found the cake to be very moist and the icing was so good. None of them lasted and everyone kept commenting on how good the cupcakes were and also the icing. My son is all about the icing and I received 2 BIG thumbs up from him.

You can Like Bakery Crafts on Facebook and see all the great cakes they can make. It definitely saves me time and hassle of not trying to have to replicate a character cake.

To make it even sweeter (I couldn’t resist), I am giving away a $25 Gift Card so you can try your own Bakery Crafts Cake! Hey Guys! Just leave a comment on this blog post stating which cake your kid would love most!! That’s it! The giveaway will end on Tuesday, January 14th at 11:59PM CST! Super easy! Good Luck! USA only.
