All of the Sparkle, None of the Mess

I love glitter. All things that sparkle are pretty awesome in my book.
That being said, I HATE cleaning up glitter messes. It seems like no matter what I do, there is always glitter left behind. My daughter uses glitter once and I'll be finding it in strange places for the rest of the year. I don't know how, but it seems to travel. And multiply.
Enter Melissa and Doug Mess Free Glitter.
I have to admit, I was skeptical as to how well this would work. My daughter got 2 packages, one to make stickers and one to make pictures. Amazingly, it worked, well...amazingly. She was able to make the projects with very little parental assistance and just like the name states, there was no mess from the glitter. I'm very impressed and we will definitely be buying these as gifts in the near future! The sets are fairly inexpensive, especially considering the time children will sit quietly making their projects. I found them at Target, but I'm sure they're anywhere Melissa and Doug products are sold.

Free 8x10 Print at Walgreens

This code is only good through the end of today, but I just used it so I know it's good.
With the code FREE2PRINT you can get a free 8x10 photo print at Walgreens. These are normally priced at $3.99 and if you chose store pickup, your total cost will be $0. I chose to have it mailed to me, which made the cost $1.05. I paid it with PayPal, I love when stores accept PayPal!
In total it took me less time to upload and order the photo than it has to type this blog post. It was quick and easy.

Bic Soleil, Make Your Own Sun

The Bic Soleil, Make Your Own Sun Sweepstakes is back!
Each day you have a chance to win a prize and each time you enter you're also getting a chance to win their grand prize, a sunny getaway for two! Even if you entered last year, you'll have to register again this year. Though once you fill out the registration form the 1st time, you can do the quick entry every day that follows.
Last year I won a free pack of razors. Granted, not a huge prize, but definitely one I used!

Foap

I recently came across a fairly addicting app called Foap.
Foap is an app that allows you to upload your pictures and sell them. It's not a ton of money, you earn $5.00 for each picture you sell and you can sell the same picture more than once. Now, submitting photos does not guarantee that they will be published, and being published does not guarantee a sale. It really is a lot of fun though! Other users rate your photos, and you in return rate theirs. It's 1-5 star rating system.
If this sounds like something you're interested in, you can download their app for free from iTunes or Google Play. I'm not including a link because the site you find online, while still accessible with your user name and password from the app, is for people who want to purchase the photos.
