Save for Back-to-School with Famous Footwear 15% off + BOGO (Buy One, Get One Half Off)

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Famous Footwear for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

I have 2 kids in school. Now, I knew two kids in school versus one was going to be more expensive (heck, school tuition doubled), but I didn't realize how much more everything goes up. Double the hot lunch, double the school supplies, etc. That is why I look for things like this BOGO + 15% off Famous Footwear Coupon. I am very picky when it comes to my kids needs. Shoes should be comfortable to wear at school, PRICE and durability is also to be considering so the only store that I can think off when this time comes is the Famous Footwear store. When you shop for new shoes at Famous Footwear for back-to-school between NOW and August 18th, you will receive 15% off your purchase; plus when you buy one pair of shoes, you’ll get a second pair for half off. But the savings don’t end there… When you join the Famous Footwear FREE Rewards Program, you will unlock even more savings, such as receiving 20% off your purchase of back-to-school shoes instead of 15%.

Other benefits of the Famous Footwear FREE Rewards Program include:

• Earn 1 point for every $1 you spend in-store or online
• Accumulate points to earn certificates up to $100 a year
• Discount offer just for signing up
• Other special inside discounts and perks

Their stores are easy to shop in plus the customers can always get in and out quickly. You will almost always find the coolest styles your kids want at the prices you can afford. Even better, if the shoe that you want is not available in the store, they will get it for you through home delivery or on www.famous.com. You can also order shoes online at www.famous.com and have them shipped to your favorite store for pick-up at no charge.

 

So what are you waiting for?! Here's a BOGO + 15% off Famous Footwear Coupon to get you started that I know would be helpful to me in my school shopping and to you as well. Make sure to print it and use it between 8/2/12-8/18/12

Try AstroBrights and get noticed!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Astrobrights Papers by Neenah Paper for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

I've been using AstroBrights papers for about 10 years now, mostly for flyers in college and such. I purchased them this time around for silent auction bid sheets. They are high quality and come in vibrant colors. My favorite (and seemingly most effective) is the Terra Green, followed by their Orange and Yellow colors. The neon just seems to pop and get people's attention. Plus, the green is incredibly unique; I have seldom seen anyone use anything close to it. I don't know what else I can say about paper other than this is wonderful and I'll continue to buy it.

AstroBrights has 23 Bright colors so when you make your invitations, flyers, announcements or brochure yours will be the one that gets noticed! You will get everyone's attention with the colors that you choose no matter what the occasion. They are perfect for projects at home, school or the office. Scrapbooking would also look great with all the colors. You could make a page for each person with their favorite color! The paper is also thicker so it will not fold and fade like the other papers that you might be using.

 

How would you use these great colors?  If you have some ideas of your own you should definitely consider the "Make Something Astrobright" design challenge. Share your ideas at the Astrobrights community on Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter. Use the hashtag #goastrobrights and prepare to be inspired by the great ideas you will see there as well.

Also, be sure to support your local elementary school by entering the "Give a Brighter Year" sweepstakes. You can win a cash prize and school supplies valued at $30,000 for the school of your choice.  That's a prize most schools would love to win.  It’s easy to enter, just visit the Astrobrights Facebook page and fill out the entry form.

 

So what are you waiting for, go get creative with AstroBrights papers!

Kawasan Falls

Kawasan falls

Kawasan falls Cebu is a quiet usual place where you can get pleasure from numerous waterfalls of natural spring water situated near the southern tip of Cebu Philippines.

The Main Falls (largest)

 

This one is the largest waterfalls and is usually the most crowded.

Most of the guests love to ride on a bamboo rafts, Some were satisfied damping their feet on the icy water.I didn’t stay much in the water for it was very frosty that even my chin chilled-out!grrrrrrr...

slippery and slimy bamboo bridge

Beat the Feet! woooh!

Climbing up needs extra energy coz it's quite far from the second level. Visiting the place is indeed a very unique, an extraordinary day of experiences for you.

I ♥ Chema's by the Sea

A great day-tour at Chema's by the sea...

I love how Summer makes me feel, like anything is possible, or like life is worth it.

Boys were having fun on their very impressive white sand. So smooth and even.

The water is very clear, no weeds, and super refreshing.

 Chema's infinity pool - shadowed by trees around it and with a net right above it, thus, no leaves on the water :)

The place was cool, super cool I'd say.. A very private beach, which I really like. You can see only few people around, not much talking and shouting, it's a good place to skip town and get away from work and have a    peaceful and relaxing day...

Get your #CoronaRita on!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Chili’s Grill & Bar for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Cinco De Mayo is coming up and the weather is getting warmer as we near summertime!  Do you have plans for it yet?  I couldn't think of a better plan to head to Chili's for a girls night out!

Do you love your Margarita so much that you want to buy it a beer? The CoronaRita at Chili’s is their newest margarita, ice cold beer and salty/sweet margarita. It takes adding a lime to your beer to a whole new level, made with Jose Cuervo Especial Tequila and an adorable little Coronita. It is like a perfect marriage of lime, beer and tequila all wrapped into one.

My mouth is watering right now just thinking about one! Right now you can check out the new CoronaRita at Chili's and start your Cinco de Mayo celebration a little early.

Chili’s is your go-to place for great food and drinks!

My family and friends absolutely love Chili’s and our local Chili’s is only 10 minutes away from my home. We love going there for family dinners or any celebration we might be having. My family loves good juicy hamburgers and Chili’s makes some of the best ones! We love getting their sliders and sharing them or we love their Big Mouth Bites Meal which is super tasty and very filling! I can never eat the entire meal and always bring home some leftovers. They are super good! The most mouth-water menu item that I want to try is the Margarita Grilled Chicken because it comes with citrus-flavored grilled chicken, black beans, and rice and pico de gallo. The plate also comes with tortilla strips, but I’m not sure if the tortilla is made of corn or flour. 

Whether you are looking for a fun place to celebrate Cinco de Mayo or you just want to celebrate the coming of summer Chili’s can be a really fun time.

Don't forget to leave a comment if you try the new CoronaRita at Chili's.

Our Huge House

Guest post written by my buddy Bernardo Graham

My husband and I have moved every two years for the last ten years. At first it was because we were renting and would get sick of a place. Then we started having kids and needed more space all the time. I never thought I would have four children, but here I am with a large family. We just moved into what I hope will be our permanent home. I can’t see needing more space than six bedrooms. We want to take good care of our new home and make sure that we can be happy here for a long time. We did a bunch of repairs before we moved in, and we are putting on the finishing touches now. The house is so big that I know we will need wireless internet lowellso everyone can stay connected. We still need to have the kids pick out the colors they want their walls painted, so that should be fun. I am sure they will want to change them again in a few years, but by then they will probably need a touch up anyways.
