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. Published Monday through Friday – as I’m able.
Good morning! How’s it going today?! I hope your week is going well. After a busy couple days earlier this week – yesterday was a catch-up day. We stuck around the trailer, Mr. Queen Bee ran some errands (like getting his hair cut and picking up some supplies), I got caught-up on email and work, and the kids took a nap. It is completely NORMAL days like this that are going to be key to my sanity on the road. You can’t go-go-go everyday, it’s just not sustainable.
We were able to score a completely FREE lunch thanks to a Domino’s no hitter promotion earlier this week. I just happened to be online when the promo went live Monday and was able to snag a FREE medium size pizza (learn more about promo and sign up for a FREE MLB account here. They do these promos every time there is a no hitter.) Mr. QB picked up the pizza on his way home from errands. I was happy not to cook – the weather is heating up here and should be 96 degrees today and more than 100 tomorrow! I’ve a couple people ask – we DO have air conditioning in our Airstream trailer, so we’re staying cool while inside and are staying safe – well hydrated and staying inside during the hottest times of the day. 🙂
Last night we ventured over to Walla Walla Community College to see a children’s theater production of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory! Admission was only $16 for the whole family – plus the lobby was filled with popcorn and candy – all free to audience members. During intermission they had free chocolate milk, orange juice, brownies and more. 🙂 The kids were just a little excited – both for the play and for the free treats. As we were walking out of the theater my son said, “That was really something!” The kids loved it and I am so grateful that they appreciate the art of theater. Although we’ve only just started our journey I can tell already that the community events will stand out as our favorite experiences on the road.
I’m really excited for this new promotion – I signed up for it yesterday. For a limited time Amazon has a special offer for Prime members for a 3-month FREE trial for Audible (it’s usually just a 1-month trial offer). At $14.95/month, this is $44.85 value. I’m so excited to try Audible out – being on the road, this will be a great way to listen to books on long car rides. They have some great collections of books, you can sign up for your FREE trial here.
I’m also really excited for this! Do you have a small business that you’re trying to grow? Are you trying to reach a new audience with your business?Pinterest is a great way to do that – if you know how to leverage it in your favor. My friend Kate runs a Pinterest-management business Simple Pin Media – she’s amazing – in fact she’s a big reason the Queen Bee Pinterest page is so successful!
Kate wants to help small business owners find success on Pinterest – so she’s rolled out a brand new Pinterest 101 course that will get you up and running with FIVE specific action items:
- How to set up your Pinterest profile
- How to create your Pinterest boards
- How to organize and maintain your Pinterest boards
- How to optimize your website for Pinterest
- How to use Pinterest to build your email list
Kate walks you through EACH of these steps. This Pinterest 101 course is currently priced at just $17 – but only for a limited time. This is a STEAL for this information, which is often sold for a much higher price.
