No longer available. This giveaway is closed. Congratulations Katy and Tracy.

I am a big fan of reading, that is why I am excited about this next giveaway. As a teacher, I do consider myself pretty knowledgeable about what is a good and bad book for young kids. Repetition, colors, and fun of course go a long way in our home.

Jenni from Barefoot Books is offering two lucky readers a set of book (two different age groups.) The best way for me to try to describe the diverse collect from Barefoot Books is to use the words timeless. These are stores that will be passed down from generation to generation. In addition to creating classics, they pass on diversity and imagination to broaden the range of your child’s awareness and knowledge. As expressed on their site, “Barefoot Books began with two mothers who wanted their children to have books that would feed the imagination, while instilling a respect for diversity and a love of the planet. Today, we are a world-wide community of writers, artists, storytellers, musicians, and others who are committed to providing timeless stories and captivating art that can help children become happy, engaged members of a global society.”

My eldest daughter and I got to experience the tunes of The Animal Boogie (as seen below), colors, shapes, and numbers with a cat named Cleo as well as a large bowl of turnip soup with a mouse and other fine animals in The Gigantic Turnip. A few things I can tell you about the Barefoot Books I reviewed – they are durable, well-made, imaginative, and fun!

Two lucky readers are going to get books for their own family, classroom, gift closet, you name it!

Set 1: For the younger audience, one lucky winner will get three board books for young children – Cleo’s Alphabet Book, Cleo’s Color Book, and Cleo’s Counting Book.

Set 2: For the older elementary group, one lucky winner will get a set of 2 books on CD – The Adventures of Odysseus and Shakespeare’s Storybook

If you are interested in purchasing a book from Barefoot Books, you can get 15% off with a special code Jenni is offering. Use the code SCSHFT when checking out HERE. This is a one time only code. If you need to purchase books for a non-profit organization, contact Jenni on those rates. You can find her contact information on the site HERE.

Happy Reading!

Note: Jenni offered a nice piece of advice. She runs songs or videos from Barefoot Books when she is sending a quick email or printing coupons. This helps distract the kids long enough for her to finish a task without being interrupted.

This giveaway is closed. Congratulations goes to ____.

Just about everyone is using a reusable bag of some sort these days for their groceries. Well, maybe not everyone; but it certainly feels that way at the Publix I usually frequent. They even sell their own, as do many other grocery stores, and they’re stylish enough for groceries; but I wouldn’t use it for anything else! I like things to serve dual-purpose wherever possible. What is difficult about most reusable bags is that they don’t usually fold any smaller than a paper bag might and you have this heap of bags to tote in the store with you and take up space in your car when not in use! Not to mention you have a collection of bags that are only used for toting groceries.

That’s why Envirosax are so great. Founded in 2004 by its female CEO, Belinda Coker, Envirosax was one of the first designer reusable bag companies on the market. They are a practical, fashionable gift idea for your Secret Santa, stocking stuffers, teachers, volunteers, etc. (and you!)

Envirosax has dozens of designs, enough for any personality! Each bag comes with it’s own carrying case or roll up snaps,so you can tuck it into your purse. The bags roll to a tiny 4″ roll equivalent to the size of a piece of sushi but unroll into a big bag that can carry the equivalent of two plastic grocery bags. They can carry up to 44lbs – strength & beauty! The designer reusable bags are super durable and last for years (unlike those flimsy woven cloth bags you buy for $.99). They are washable, water resistant, and the colors won’t fade. I use them for my groceries, packing my lunch, trips to the beach, camping, and sometimes as a big purse!

Envirosax are sold online and at Barnes & Noble online store (get 8% Cash Back through Ebates).

Envirosax is giving One Frugal Coupon Living reader an Envirosax prize package worth $120! It includes:

A set of three Oasis bags
A set of three Origami bags
One 100% organic hemp bag
One three-pocket SlingSax with adjustable straps
One Minisax, perfect for a snack
A stainless steel BPA-free water bottle
A shower timer to help you conserve water

Congratulations Chantel, Kathryn, and Abby.

I recently became away of a cute little online store called Tender Heart Treasures. Tender Heart Treasures is a store that lets you warm your home for holiday and seasonal inspirations to your own style. All the way from Country, to Cottage, French, English, Coastal, Primitive, Victorian, Folk, as well as pieces to fit Transitional decor, Tender Heart treasures has something for everyone.

I was able to review some items from their “Santa’s Magic Collection” and I fell in love! These unique gifts are SOOO cute. I am so thrilled to be giving 3 LUCKY READERS their own chance to receive an item from “Santa Magic Collection” too!

Santa’s Magic Key
“Twas the night before Christmas. I’m excited as can be. This year mommy told me about a very special key. You can shimmy down the chimney or you can tiptoe through the door. Use the magic in this special key to find cookies, milk and more!”

If you are a home without a fireplace, this key is great (or even if you have one). Place the key on the front door and give Santa an alternative route to enter your home. You child can rest comfortable knowing Santa WILL make it inside.

Elfin Made Certified Stamp
Make each gift certified from the North Pole with this wood and rubber stamp!

Hang the Magic Bag on the doorknob of your bedroom before you go to sleep. In the morning it will be gone and with it your Christmas list will magically get to me at the workshop. Be sure to look on your tree Christmas morning because I will return the magic bag with one very special gift inside. It will be you job to find it hanging hidden in the Christmas tree.

DivaDo – Review and Giveaway

March 9, 2020 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Giveaways, Review 91 Comments

What do Southern Belles, Jersey Girls, and Surfer Chicks have in common? They all want the same thing when it comes to hair – Volume… and volume DivaDo gives (the healthy way.)

DivaDo gives you the salon style without the teasing, damaging heat, or use of unhealthy products on your hair. I used DivaDo and was impressed with how easy it was to use. Accompanied with a packaged CD, that gives a step by step tutorial on how to create the perfect DivaDo look, I was able to create a fun updo in minutes. DivaDo is a surgical grade silicone, that has a sturdy construction, and is weather proof (when you hair always isn’t.) Using the DivaDo I could have been out the door in minutes and looked like I spent hours on my hair.

DivaDo comes in two styles – The Aubrey (for a classic, sophisticated hair do) and The Brigette (for a little va-va-voom style.) Both styles come in three colors so you can customize your own need. The hairpiece gives you “The Do Without The Damage!”

Frugal Coupon Living is giving one lucky person a DivaDo of their choice. This hair piece comes in three colors and two different styles. Each piece is perfect for weddings, galas, proms,competitions, and parties. It is so versatile, durable, and easy to use you might even find yourself using it for quick trips to the supermarket.

1) Go Here and tell me the color (brown, black or natural) and style (The Audrey or The Brigitte) you would pick for DivaDo

Pediped Shoes Review

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

March 9, 2020 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Baby, Kids, Review 2 Comments

Recently I was able to review the Pediped Oringals shoes (size 0 – 24 months). I was sent the adorable Addison shoes (pictured above). Friends have always told me one thing to never reuse or to spend little on is kids shoes. With this advice, the shared if you have a choice over many cheap shoes or one nice pair of reasonably priced shoes, that I should go with the pair of shoes that cost more but were better for my child’s foot. I must admit I questioned this theory but from experience, I found this theory to be true. In fact, on the way out the door the other day, I placed a shoe on my daughter’s foot that was a hand me down. This shoe is a popular name and was my child’s right shoe size, but immediately upon putting them on, my daughter started limping. Unable to describe her feelings or discomfort, she would have stayed this way had I not noticed. This was why I was excited to give Pediped shoes a try.

When I received the box, I pulled them from a purple trademark box. In fact, all Pediped shoes come in this special box. When I pulled the shoe out, I noticed they were bendable, soft, and most importantly well made. Deciding to give them the official “test drive”, my daughter wore the Addison shoes to church on Sunday. Immediately I was told how adorable her shoes were – as her mom I smiled with pride. If felt good knowing my daughter had not only cute shoes on, but shoes that were comfortable, made from quality fabric and leather, and supported her foot well. I started dreaming of the other styles I had seen online that would go with her future holiday dresses/outfits. Below are some shoes for the holidays that caught my eye.

I went to purchase the Natasha Houndstooth (the second pair) and was excited to see they were on sale for $19! The Jayden (black) picture last, were also on sale at $19 for boys. With my zip code, shipping was $5. When checking out though I got a popup box that let me know I qualify for FREE Shipping if I order one more pair of shoes!

If you are interested in giving Pediped a test drive like me, see all their styles Here. The Originals comes in size 0 – 24 and the Flex in ages 1 – 5+.

The Lord Is Good…

March 4, 2020 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Review 25 Comments

Oh what a day! I found out my Maytag refrigerator was recalled Sunday and the repair was supposed to take place tomorrow. Here are the events of the day.

I met my husband at Sprint for a new cell phone (doing research to get a better plan.) The cell phone did not work so instead of taking the normal 45 minutes to get set up we spent around 15 minutes in the store. I HAD to come home (I had no plans to, I was going to be out for 2 more hours) but I did not have a moment to cut my coupons for my Publix run today. So, my daughter and I came home to get the coupons.

I walked in the house and panicked. Clearly SOMETHING was burning. My initial response was that it was the dishwasher (It has been on and I assumed plastic fell down around the metal)…it wasn’t. I check the fire place (gas) the laundry room, everywhere (but the refrigerator.) After calling 911 (my mother instinct told me something was REALLY bad) I carried the baby, doggies, and cat all outside to the front yard (with my LOVELY neighbors – thanks guys.) My husband, who was on the phone with me asked if I got my computer (haha) – I had not, but I did go back inside, okay so I shouldn’t have.

All in all, the department came, took care of identifying the problem – it was the refrigerator (not full flames yet! – PRAISE THE LORD) and the repair company is on the way. It was all electrical. Had a waited longer…well you know the rest.

What to take away 1) I am taking these recalls seriously – getting them done ASAP 2) I will NEVER be fearful to call 911 when my daughter and I could be in trouble 3) The Biggest and MOST IMPORTANT Lesson – GOD IS GOOD, ALL THE TIME. I was NOT supposed to come home for a couple of hours and he arranged the events of the day so that I did. Thank you, Lord.

As technically unchallenged I am, I sometimes have the worse hangups with printers and printer support. I can use a printer and everything is going great, then all of a sudden things sorta crash and my printer will no longer talk to my computer and visa versa.
