Rise and Shine is my way of sitting down and having a cup of coffee with you! We talk about the new deals of the day, highlights from yesterday, and anything else that might help us save time, money or energy. I share with you what’s happening with me – and I LOVE to hear about what’s happening with you.
Good morning! I hope your weekend is off to a good start. This week was a long one, no? It’s not raining (at the moment), so I’m happy about that. 🙂 Today is going to be a busy day for projects in our yard and I’m hoping the rain decides to stay away for that reason.
Thinking about starting a garden this summer? Check out our raised garden bed tutorial here. We’ll hopefully be building another one today. 🙂
Just a reminder that starting tomorrow, April 21 at 10 am, Target stores around the country will be handing out 1.5 million reusable Target bags with a coupon book worth $40 in savings in celebration of Earth Day! Also, the first 250,000 bags will have free samples like Method dish soap, Annie’s Bunny Graham’s, and more. Is this incentive to get you to make a trip to Target? I’d love to hear if you get a bag!
Great Wolf Lodge is still available on Groupon! You can save up to 38% off. Available at 11 locations nationwide.

Emily says
Not gonna lie, I was pretty excited about free Target tote bags (I had been meaning to buy a tote bag there recently anyway), so I made the trip this morning to try and snag one. I did! There was a man at the entrance who had them all stacked up in a shopping cart to give away. Mine’s a mini tote size, and it contained:
-a small package of Annie’s bunnies (honey, chocolate, and chocolate chip mix)
-sample of Method Smarty Dish Plus
-sample of Seventh Generation Natural 4x Laundry Detergent (Free and Clear)
-sample of Burt’s Bees Sensitive daily moisturizing cream
plus the coupon book!
