The kids are in school, but after they leave in the morning it looks like a tornado has busted through my house. There are a lot of things out of place and a lot of things I wish I could wave my wand and have magical cleaned. I’ve spent a great deal of time with the kids and extra activities, like crafts and projects. As a result of the fun from summer we have things everywhere in the house. I literally have boxes of craft supplies PILED on my kitchen table, which can no longer be used to eat on. I’ve kept the floors clean and things are not dusty and gross, but I certainly could use the help of a janitorial cleaning service. I’ve kept up on dishes, vacuuming, laundry and the necessities. I have some major re-arranging and organizing to do and it’s going to be nothing shy of a miracle to pull it off!
Now both of my kids are in school all day and I can’t bring myself to START the chores I have to do!! I need some inspiration to get back on track… Some rubbermaid? Labeler? Maid? Ideas?

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Boost Mobile. All opinions are 100% mine.
I am a HUGE fan of Boost Mobile cell phones and service. The plans are so simplistic and easy. I think they were designed for teens and those that talk A LOT! It’s a fixed price and very easy to Re-Boost your phone. You can do this online, in person or on the phone. The best thing about the Re-boost plan is that anyone can re-boost for anyone. These make great gifts for family and friends or even rewards for your children! These days everyone has a mobile phone. They are used for more then talking and texting. The whole world of social media is taken on the go. I know some of my favorite sites on my Blackberry are the social media sites. I visit them often and love have the freedom to do anything I want with my phone while I am on the go. Another benefit is having email. I love having my email with me at all times. The convenience of having things on the go is something that I personally have gotten really used to. I can do things like returning emails, checking social media statuses and more from the convenience of my cell phone when I have time.

These days the social media market is taking the world over. Everyone is all about updating their Facebook status. The problem is that not everyone is on Facebook and not everyone even uses a computer. This poses a problem for people like mom, dad, grandma, grandpa and more to keep in touch. PostRgram offers a great service that allows those not online to stay connected. PostEgram is a great gift idea for grandparents and parents that you would like to keep in touch with. PostEgram is a simple service that you use to connect your Facebook to and it creates a newsletter that can be sent out. The frequency of the newsletter is up to you! Chose once a month, twice a month or four times a month! This is the ultimate social networking for grandparents! You can choice the content you wanted added and the number of recipients. PostEgram takes care of printing it all up and mailing it out for you!
Have a loved one in the military? Include them and they can stay in touch while they are away! They also get regular mail from their loved ones then so they feel in touch! Having mail from our family while you are away is certainly something to brighten the spirits! PostEgram delivers social networking photos and updates from the internet to their doorstep or base.
PostEgram is easy to create! I did it within minutes! It is also fully customizable, remove photos and news you don’t want to appear! You can also add personal notes to your status or newsletter that print on your newsletter. The delivery is automatic – set it up once and your set. This is wonderful for not having to worry that you have an extra chore to take care of, let PostEgram take care of it for you! PostEgram is unique in that you can include news and photos from other too. Mailing grandparents or a loved one a newsletter has never been so easy!!

I know many of you like saving money. Things have become increasingly expensive so finding the most cost effective ways to save is often the best. Twice recently I’ve found myself shopping around online to get the best price for items. Recently I was helping a friend with some relocation services. She was looking for Chicago movers for their family’s recent move. They are moving to Dallas for a job and have a lot to move and do. I’ve been looking around to try and help her make the choices in their move and research some things just to help.
Also these days with back to school coming it’s important to make some cuts and savings to be able to afford everything. I’ve been looking around for places that have sales on uniforms and supplies. I am finding that although mail order may be the most convenient is is not always the cheapest. By the time you pay shipping you could buy them locally for the same if not cheaper. However, some of the sites are offering free shipping on purchases over a certain amount and some are even offering sales of 15% or more off. This makes a difference when you are buying clothing for 2 children.
What are some money saving tips that you have? Do you find some things are more effective for saving then other? Do you pay for convenience?
