Rise and Shine is my way of starting the day with you – almost as if we’re chatting over a hot cup of coffee or tea! I share my favorite deals of the day, highlights from yesterday, and anything else that might help you save time, money or energy. Published in the morning on Monday through Friday – as I’m able.
Good morning! How are YOU today? We woke up extra early this morning – it’s a big day for us around here – it’s my son’s 9th birthday (hooray!). I can’t believe he is already nine – time is going way too fast and I want it to slow down so I can soak up these precious years. He woke up to the trailer full of balloons and a birthday banner – and we have a fun day planned today.
For his birthday present this year, I picked up a Kindle Fire for $33 on Amazon Prime Day and he is so excited to be reading right now – he loves it. Such a great deal and I love that it tracks his reading time, can monitor video and app use (you can set limits), and has options for downloading Kindle books from the library. It came with a free month of Kindle Unlimited – so he can download dozens of books for free right now. We will see how much we use it and whether I will justify the $2.99/month subscription fee after this month.
How is your week going?
