this money saving mommy

so my intention was when i started this blog that i would be able to tell all my friends about my money saving deals. However, the TIME it takes to tell all of you about them and do them myself is the kicker. :-) I underestimated how much time it takes to do our personal blog let alone my money saving' blog. so here is what i am going to do: i am going to put a pause on this blog for awhile, however if i find some really cool deals I'll post them on my personal blog here: http://rahouck.blogspot.com/

In the meantime here are four blogs I follow to get my good deals: bookmark them and come back to them: (in order of how much i love 'em)

I Posted this freebie previously, but thought I'd go ahead and remind you all, especially new readers, that you can still request your very own FREE luggage tags. Also, these would make great little gifts!

KLM, Royal Dutch Airlines, is offering up 2 FREE Design your Own Luggage Tags! Throw away those boring luggage tags and give your baggage a new look by designing your own, unique tag. You can use a photo of your family, your favorite destination, or, to make it easier, you can choose from one of the images pre-selected by KLM. Just go here to get started.

**This promotion is only available for to all legal U.S. residents of one of the fifty (50) United States or the District of Columbia (excluding Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands).
