Favorite Things = Free Things!

Hey everyone!

Sorry I didn't post yesterday. I was busy in the morning (although who am I kidding, would I have really been motivated enough to post something in the morning anyways?) and then our internet was down for the rest of the day.

It did give me an opportunity to talk to Jon about my blog. I am really excited about doing this, and I want all of my followers to be excited too! So, I'm going to take the weekend off and have Jon teach me how to get pictures on here and make everything more user-friendly. Hopefully next week I'll have a new and improved blog for you to read!

A couple of things before then. First, I really enjoy getting stuff for free. So, I found out about two free deals this weekend (one local, the other is national) that I want to share with you. They are both basically the same free item and in honor of Earth Day.

Tomorrow at HEB between 10am and 2pm, if you bring in 5 plastic shopping bags, you get a free reusable shopping bag: http://www.heb.com/page/offers-contests/earth-day-bag-giveaway.

Sunday at Target, you can also get a reusable bag (with a purchase). Their giveaway begins when they open and ends when each store runs out (which they expect to be within a few hours): http://www.target.com/b?node=2670210011&ref=eco.

I personally don't shop with reusable bags, but I also believe that you can't have enough bags around. When you can get them for free - even better!

I'm also considering doing a giveaway of my own. I'd like to make things more interesting by giving away items that I blog about from time to time. But, I feel like I need more followers to make it worth it. So, while I'm taking a break over the weekend, please share my blog with your friends and family. You can email, Facebook, or comment here to let me know who you referred so I know who to credit. What I mean is, I may just give away something to the person who refers the most people here over the weekend! Yay for free stuff!

Have a blessed weekend everyone!

P.S. I found out about another freebie that will benefit your whole family! If you don't already have plans for the weekend, why not check out a national park? Saturday kicks off National Park Week and the admission to all of the national parks is free! http://www.nps.gov/findapark/feefreeparks.htm

  2. Hey Gen! I didn't know you were blogging. Blogger makes it super easy. For your links, you select the text you want to link to and paste in the URL, then it's just a neat link rather than the whole URL that shows up. And to upload a photo, just select the jpeg by clicking through the image icon and upload it. Very very easy! Check out my blog: http://lady-ryder.com. Have fun!
