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.
Rise and shine! Good morning! Yesterday was a wonderful day. The weather was beautiful. Both of my kids had Mother’s Day teas for me at preschool including songs and little handmade gifts. Little hand prints that I’ll cherish forever.
We came home and the kids worked on special Mother’s Day presents for Grammie.
If you’re thinking about doing something crafty for Mother’s Day – Michael’s does have a 15% off coupon right now. We will be combining these with some homemade granola in a blue mason jar with a Groupon for the Body Shop! I think Grammie will love it.
Yesterday we shared the Founder’s Day Sale deals for Fred Meyer. We will be going into the store tomorrow or Monday to scope out unadvertised deals. The prices don’t seem as rock bottom as in years before. What do you think? What will you be picking up?
I’m taking tomorrow off. Just a heads up. There won’t be a Rise and Shine post in the morning (the first time in long, long time). I’m sleeping in. I wrote a very special post for my kids that I’ll share first thing in the morning. Then posts will resume in the early evening! Thank you for the day off!

Puget Sound friends – here’s a News Tribune discount! For those of you wanting MULTIPLE Sunday papers, you can get up to NINE (9) of these subscription offers. Just multiple the number of papers you want by the package price. So if you want two Sunday papers delivered each week, you’d buy either two 26-week packages for $78 or you’d pay $104 for an entire year, 52 weeks of delivery. The big bummer is this is a pre-paid offer, so you’d have to pay that up front. But the good news is this can help those of you heading to the Dollar Tree every day and spending the money anyway! Get all the details here.
Have a great day!
