Since everyone is starting their shopping for the holiday season, I'd thought I'd share a few of the fun offers I've been working on  . . . and purchasing! And for a limited time use code  PD_BOXTOPS and get an additional 20% off any of them. For Her: Just $15: All-Natural Soy Candle + Hidden Ring Inside Valued Between $10-$5,000 HOME AND GARDEN Seriously this is THE best gift for any of the ladies on your shopping list.

Plum District has a great offer today for an online store called  SpiritShop .com . They allow you to customize an array of products with your schools logo and colors, your child's sports team, or even just the family name so you can wear it to everything! The best part is that the Plum District offer gives you 50% off . You're going to be glad because once you get in there and start looking and creating things, you're going to want to buy one of everything. I mean how adorable would this tank top be? I'm tempted to just put "Carlisle" at the top and it be my shirt that I wear to all of their events. Hurry, though, since it's a Plum District offer, it's limited time availability. Share this with all of your friends from school and see who came up with the best shirt at the next football game!

Awhile back, I mentioned that I had the opportunity to try out a new cleaning service called HomeJoy. The difference with HomeJoy versus regular cleaning services is that you pay by the hour - just $20 per hour - and they will do whatever household chores you need them to. I had them help with dishes and laundry in addition to regular cleaning services. They actually have an additional discounted offer right now on Amazon Local . . .

Until recently, I hadn't. When they contacted me about doing a review, though, I was intrigued by what they offered: Indulge in $50 worth of expert-curated health, wellness, and fitness products, delivered right to your door. You'll get healthy food and drinks, workouts and apparel, skincare products, supplements, and more! Trying to eat healthier and stay in shape has not been the easiest task with three boys and a husband that would rather eat fast food than pretty much any other food option. I received a box of snacks from KLUTCHClub that also included a yoga DVD, and the entire crew dug in. There was trail mix, coconut water, energy bars . . . the list could go on. I loved the fact that I could try out the products without having to spend a bunch of money on each of them because there were definitely some that we didn't care for at all. But some of it was a great option and I would absolutely purchase it again in the future.  Normally these monthl...

If you haven't used your ScoreBig credit that you purchased from Plum District, this weekend is a great time to do that. You don't want to let them expire. They're far too valuable. #1 - Make sure you're registered at ScoreBig . #2 - Find the event you would like to attend. #3 - Decide what amount you would like to offer. The value that works is usually 10-20% less than the "retail" value ScoreBig shows, but feel free to try more. I've gotten tickets up to 70% off before. #4 - Enter your voucher number. Your card WILL NOT be charged if your offer is not accepted. But you will not be allowed to make another offer on those same exact tickets until 24 hours have passed. If you do not have a voucher, you can use the code MDS10  and you'll get $10 FREE towards your first purchase. Or you can purchase a new voucher right now at Plum District - just $6 for $30 !

I know I'm partial to a certain deal site, but as a deal blogger I have to keep an eye out at all of the options. One I've used quite a bit is Eversave . Right now, when you sign up with this link they'll immediately credit your account with $10 . It can't hurt and you may just find a deal you love that you can get for FREE with this credit. Let me know if you find an awesome deal there!

Once you get one of these photo canvasses with your own photograph printed on it, they're almost addictive. Personally I'd rather have them than mess with having a large print made, matting it and framing it . . . and hoping my kids don't knock if off the wall and bust the glass. (You can read other stories of people who feel this way here .) Easy Canvas was one of the first deals I ran at Plum District - and it was HOT! Well, it's back and it's at a great price point. Normally $89.41, you can get this 16x20 size canvas for less than $25 with the code MONTHOFMOM . Shipping is just a flat fee of $10 so this is really a good deal when you consider that it allows you to create a great keepsake and make your own piece of wall art in the process. It would make an awesome Mother's Day gift.

So we arrived back at port yesterday morning and I was able to rejoin the technological world with access to my phone and the Internet. (I secretly think that is the reason my husband is so fond of taking cruises on vacation.) I was excited to find out that Plum District had issued a 25% off code - MOM25 - and that they had some incredible deals to use it on. Here are a couple of the deals I think would be worth purchasing (all prices are AFTER the additional 25% off): $60 for 6 Months of Drop-In Childcare (Up to 2 hours per day) $12.75 for a Shellac Manicure

  $18 for Tickets to FC Dallas (Games on 4/25 or 5/6) $35 for Tickets to Both Games (4/25 or 5/6) If you're a soccer fan you don't want to miss out on this deal. It ends Monday night so grab these $18 tickets while you still can. Previous Plum District customers can use this link - I'm a Plum District member .

If you're looking for a good deal on some local attractions . . . here are a couple I think look good: FC Dallas Tickets + Promotional Items and On The Field Pre-Game Experience April 25 or May 6 - $18 each ticket Both April 25 and May 6 - $34 together This Friday through Sunday (April 20 - 22) the   Carson & Barnes  Circus   is coming through town. You can ride elephants and camels, watch the acrobats, clowns and jugglers, or visit the Midway games and rides.  This is a great way to get up close and personal to the circus the way it used to be. You can get   2 adult tickets, 2 children's tickets, 2 rides on an elephant or camel, and $20 in Carson Cash good on the midway for just $39!

If you're looking for something to take your kids to do - I have a great option. Next weekend, the Carson & Barnes Circus is coming through town. You can ride elephants and camels, watch the acrobats, clowns and jugglers, or visit the Midway games and rides. This is a great way to get up close and personal to the circus the way it used to be. In addition, you can get 2 adult tickets, 2 children's tickets, 2 rides on an elephant or camel, and $20 in Carson Cash good on the midway for just $39!

I know some of you were feeling left out when I posted earlier this week about the $5 for $40 in Texas Rangers tickets - which is still available by the way! But, now you don't have to feel left out . . . you can get $40 towards tickets to ANY Major League Baseball game. Here's how it works: First, you sign up for ScoreBig with this referral and get $10 FREE credit. Then spend $5 to get a $40 voucher (good for most teams and games - check ScoreBig listings) Once both of these are set up, you can find the game you are interested in and offer what you would be willing to pay for tickets to that game. ScoreBig guarantees at least 10% off the face value of the tickets. You put your voucher code in the promo code blank at checkout, and you will find out immediately if your offer was accepted. If your offer is not accepted, your card will not be charged and your voucher code will remain available to be used. Super fun! Get a great deal and let me know what great ticke...

$5 for $40 in Texas Ranger's Tickets Wow! Today is the Opening Day of baseball season. So glad it's finally here . . . and I'm all over this deal at Plum District today. You seriously pay just $5 for $40 worth of tickets .  For $40 we have taken our whole family to the ball park using ScoreBig, that means you would pay $5 for 4 tickets! That's crazy awesome. Buy it and then share - if three people buy it, you get it for FREE!

If you're a Starbucks addict like me, this deal is a no brainer. Pay $5 for a $10 Starbucks gift card and $3 goes to Create Jobs for USA. This organization was started by Starbucks to provide loans to help companies hire more employees and benefit our economy. This is an E-gift card and can easily be transferred to an existing Starbucks gift card or used in their wonderful app that I use WAY too often. LOL

Okay, kind of a personal topic this morning, but I have to be honest with you. I'm not big on pain nor do I like to spend unnecessary amounts of money. Therefore I had never tried any kind of waxing thinking it involved both and I was doing just fine with my razors. Then someone asked me to try out their services for my blog - so I had a full wax from chin to underarms to legs to Brazilian. It was a different experience. Kind of close up with someone you don't know real well at all. And I'll be honest some of the waxing is a bit uncomfortable at first - kind of like pulling off one large bandaid. BUT it has been well worth it. First my hair grew back much less thick and dense everywhere. It grew back slower as well. And I found a freedom to not have to worry about whether I remembered to shave or trying to cram in a shower so I could shave before I went somewhere. With summer coming, it's absolutely going to be worth it to get a deep bikini or Brazilian wax on ...

We have a fully booked summer . . . . no one has any extra time off after we blocked out the days to go to Africa. (Which is pretty cool, I know.) But if I was looking for vacation plans , I would be all over this deal. This is a STEAL for what it includes. You get two 2-day Hopper passes to Legoland along with a 2-night stay at the gorgeous Grand Pacific Palisades Resort . You can purchase up to four of these in order to extend your trip, or you can hire a babysitter and put the kids in the other room! One day, we will this kind of trip. I sure hope there are more good deals like this available when we do.
