Purrrrfect Humor

Today I'm leaving to fly out to the Mother's of Preschooler's Conference in Florida. I'm so excited because I've never visited Florida. I can't wait to network with other mom's and to get some much needed rest and relaxation.

Since it is the end of the week, I thought I'd share this crazy picture I found the other night on Etsy. I am always amazed at the things that folks will make to sell on there. Like this outfit for this cat. Is this Grandma Wrinkles from the Real Housewives of New Jersey? I would be seriously afraid this cat would kill me in my sleep. Can you blame it for putting an outfit like that on it? This from the woman who has been known to put a santa suit on her boston terrier. I speak from experience people LOL.

I noticed quite a few shark items on Etsy when I saw this. I guess people are getting into shark week on The Discovery Channel. I'm adding a link to the Etsy shop where you can buy this in case you need a shark outfit for your cat.

I'm taking tomorrow off from blogging, but I'll be back next week. So stay safe out there and always swim with a buddy. And as Jimmy Buffet says, "Fins to the left. Fins to the right..." Well, you know the rest of the song.

Toys R' Us and Crayola

A few weeks ago I blogged about my partnership with Toys R' Us to get the word out about their "I want to be a Toys R' Us Mom" grand opening and store reopenings across the country. I'm excited to share that there will be another event coming up this Friday, August 6th in West Mifflin, PA. So if you live in Pennsylvania and can go and check it out, be sure to go to the store Friday morning. The first 100 mom's get a wonderful goody bag from Toys R' Us. I've seen these bags on another blogger's website and you won't want to miss out on getting one. Who doesn't love getting free stuff?

Also, you'll want to check out this special website http://www.blogger.com/www.iwanttobeatoysrusmom.com before heading to the store. You can go and download your own secret coupon and take it in to the store. You could be the lucky duck who gets a 50% off coupon! Man what I wouldn't do with a 50% off coupon at Toys R' Us!

For those of you who don't live in the PA area, I'd still recommend checking out Toys R' Us this week. They've got a great Crayola sale going on now. You can get 4 boxes of the 24 classic Crayolas for $1. Finger paints are $3, paint smocks are $2, scissors are $1, and there are many other Crayola products on sale too. If you don't need 4 boxes of crayons, I'd still buy them at that price. They would make a wonderful donation to schools. The schools in our area always need extra supplies.

Another idea is to buy these supplies and fill shoe boxs to give to the Samaritan's Purse organization. My MOPS group and church does this every Christmas. Wouldn't it be great to be able to fill a few shoe boxes with crayons, scissors, etc? http://www.samaritanspurse.org/

If you make it to the Pennsylvania grand opening be sure to let me know. I'd love to hear about your Toys R' Us adventure!

p.s. There will be a number of these events across the country so if you visit the website you can see when an event will be taking place near you.


So the FTC is happy, I want to share that I am receiving a promotional incentive from Toys“R”Us as a thank you for telling my blog readers about the Grand Opening weekends.

Good day sunshine...

This time next week I'll be having some fun in the sun in beautiful Orlando at the Mother's Of Preschooler's (MOPS) Convention. I am so excited to be attending. It will be the first trip I've taken away from my family. I can't wait to meet with other mom's and to share "war stories" with them. LOL And I can't wait to sleep in. Ahh, sweet rest.

So, do you have any tips for a newbie to the Orlando area? Also, I'm looking for guest bloggers. Please send me an email if you are interested.
