Did you know that September is National Coupon Month?

In honor of National Coupon Month, I’d like to introduce you to MySavings.com, an online community whose goal is to connect consumers and offer a place to share money saving tips and offers.

What makes this site different from the hundreds of other coupon communities out there is the ability to leave comments for each item. This way you know ahead of time the experience others have had with the coupon or free sample through their comments. Not only that, but members can rate each item on a scale of 1-5 stars as well, which will give you a better idea of the quality of each offer.

When visiting MySavings.com be sure to leave yourself some time to get lost in the site. The extensive directory of Free Samples is addictive and is full of great offers. You can scroll through the samples by using the categories listed on the left-hand side which include Automotive, Baby, Kids & Mom, Food & Cooking, Magazines, Office Supplies and more. You can also use the tab at the top to find New Free Samples or to view the MySavings.com Favorites.

I remember how stressful college application testing was. PSATs, PACTs, SATs, ACTs…it just seemed to go on forever and was so much pressure. Luckily students today have a wonderful program available to them to help properly prepare for these tests which, in turn, will lessen their stress levels and allow them some relief from the pressure.

Revolution Prep is a test preparation company that offers services to help students achieve good test scores through preparation and private tutoring. They have compiled mountains of advice about preparing for tests and how to ensure your son or daughter is ready for their upcoming SAT or ACT. They have offered to share some of these tips and a discount code (which can be found at the bottom of the post) for readers of 2 Wired 2 Tired.

As you probably remember from my bad paid for photos, I had braces growing up. It feels like I wore them for years and after I got them off I wore retainers. My teeth looked great for quite a while, but honestly I wasn’t as dedicated to wearing my retainers as I should have been. So my teeth shifted. They’re not as bad as they once were, but I could use another set of braces.

I’ve always wanted to try the Invisalign system, I think it’s amazing that you don’t even notice them on people who are wearing them. And how lucky are teenagers these days? Invisalign Teen offers the clear alternative to braces for the younger set too. In fact, if you know of anyone with teenagers be sure to tell them about the fabulous contest Invisalign Teen is currently running.

Since I signed up to walk in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure^®, I’ve become more aware of all of the amazing campaigns there are fighting against breast cancer.

Whether they have started their own breast cancer foundation or have taken on an active role in existing charity organizations, they have made it their goal to make a difference in the world. Read More→

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of CryoCell International. All opinions are 100% mine.

When I was pregnant with Kora, I worked in an office and we had a small gym in the building. I did my best to walk and lift a little on my lunch hours or after work. However, it was a different story with Logan. I found it utterly exhausting to be raising a young toddler while pregnant with my second and just couldn’t exercise regularly like I wanted to.

After Logan was born, it took me a very long time to even consider getting back into shape. Having 2 under 2 was tiring and stressful. When the weather warmed up (Logan was born in January) we bought a double-stroller off Craigslist and I would take the kids out for walks a couple of times of week. It was so wonderful for all of us to get out and into the fresh air. I remember Logan as a baby being in awe of the cars driving by and Kora happily snacking away in the stroller. Even though the stroller we had was old and cumbersome it still was nice to have it and be able to get out of the house for our little walks.

That’s why I wanted to share with you the opportunity to receive a brand new really nice stroller from Cryo-Cell. You can get fit for Motherhood with the help of Cryo-Cell by clicking the button below to be taken to their site. Here are the details:

Do you know someone who is pregnant? Cryo-Cell knows that as a new mom, it’s hard to find time to exercise. We believe that Cryo-Cell moms really understand the importance of safeguarding the future health and well-being for both their newborns and for themselves. With the award-winning Baby Jogger City Mini stroller, new moms can work out as they enjoy time in the beautiful outdoors with their new baby.

In November of 1966 former teacher, Margaret McNamara, gathered volunteers and they started the book distribution and reading motivation program called Reading Is Fundamental. Today Reading is Fundamental Programs operate in all 50 states as well as in some countries outside the U.S.

Reading is Fundamental helps children learn to read by delivering free books and  resources to children and families who need them most. It is the oldest and largest children’s and family non-profit literacy program in the U.S. Just last year the program provided 4.4 million children with 15 million new, free books and literary resources.

On February 1st, this year, the FY 2011 budget was released and as a result the governmental funds for Reading is Fundamental have been eliminated. Without this funding the program cannot continue on.

But we mom bloggers can make a difference.

Simply visit www.RIF.org/saverif and in just a few easy steps you can send a form letter off to your congressman letting them know you support Reading is Fundamental and you want the funding restored.

Once you’ve clicked the link, all you do is enter your zip code, review the form letter, enter your name and address, and the letter is on it’s way.

Here’s your opportunity to make a difference in the lives of millions of children. What are you waiting for?
