Affordable Phones Plans with T-Mobile at Walmart

The holidays are just around the corner and I’m sure there are plenty of other parents out there, just like me, that need to finish up their holiday shopping.  

After seeing a lot of other parents post about what there kids wanted for Christmas this year, I noticed that quite a few wanted a new phone or in a lot of cases, their first phone.

I remember when we made that step with Zack and Libby and got them their first phones. Back then (almost 8 years ago) we decided to start them off with prepaid flip-phones because that was what was available and affordable.

These days, when parents are making the decision to get their children or even themselves a phone, there are so many different options available. 

T-Mobile, the nation’s fastest 4G LTE Network, available at Walmart, offers the  Nokia Lumia 530 phone for only $49.88.

The Nokia Lumia 530 is a 4″ touchscreen phone that is 4G capable with a 5MP camera and a 1.2 GHz Processor. This phone is the perfect starter phone for your child and with a plan that only cost $50 a month that includes UNLIMITED talk, text and data along with music streaming without using data, your kid will be set.

Talk about a budget friendly phone plan!

There is still time to head to Walmart to grab the Nokia Lumia 530 and a phone plan and get it wrapped and ready for the holidays without breaking the bank.

Really, who doesn’t love an afforable gift and phone plan?

 

Save the Sheets & Get More Sleep with Luvs

This review and giveaway was made possible by Double Duty Divas and Luvs. I was compensated for my participation in this campaign, but all opinions are 100% mine.

When you have three small children who share one room, the last thing you want is one of them to wake up in the middle of the night because their diaper leaked.

Do you know what happens when three children share one room and one of them wakes up at 3am because their diaper leaked?

I’ll tell you what happens……THEY ALL WAKE UP!

I don’t know about you, but I prefer to see this in my kid’s room at 3am.

With the holidays around the corner and a certain jolly fella scheduled to pay a visit to our house, you can bet I want everyone to be sleeping and the last thing I want to deal with is a leaky diaper and a wet bed in the middle of the night.

To ensure we have dry nights, you can bet we are relying on a brand we trust and that brand is Luvs. As you may know, Luvs brand diapers have NightLock which offers the largest absorbency area EVER and helps keep wetneess away which mean less leaks, especially during the hectic holiday season.

I perfer to make the mornings merry during the holidays and cleaning up leaky diaper messes in the middle of the night does not make for a merry mom!

With Luvs, you don’t need to worry about your little one leaking through their holiday outfit or onto the jolly fella’s red suit!

Check out this cute Will It Leak ‘Santa Suit’ video. This holiday season Luvs is turning clicks into free diapers (until 12/25) and will give a diaper to a child in need through the Children’s Miracle Network.

This holiday season is the perfect time to get connected and reconnect with family and if you’re going to do it, you should do it right, with a new laptop from Walmart.

 

With a new HP Stream 11.6 inch Laptop PC, available in orchid magenta or horizon blue, you can help your loved ones get connected and stay in touch.  

Grandma and grandpa can’t make it to Christmas this year? Older children away at college? Grandkids can’t make it home? Send them this laptop with an Intel Celeron Processor, 2GB Memory, 32GB Hard Drive, and Windows 8.1 and get it all setup ahead of time so you can video chat with them during the holidays.

Get everything ready so you can easily send photos to them and they can save them to the 1TB of Microsoft OneDrive not to mention they will also a get Microsoft Office 365 Personal membership for a year so they can type up letters to the family.

This computer is great because it can store upto 1 million documents and 175,000 phots and it’s thin and light.

Why not make it a Windows Holiday and help get the family connected?

It’s no secret that we love football in our home. We are big supporters of the NFL, NCAA and high school leagues and of course, we have our teams.  When it comes to college football, you can bet we spend our Saturdays watching the Wisconsin Badgers take on their latest opponent.

When we get ready to watch our team, there are steps that need to be taken hours before the game starts. We take pride in our pregame prep and you should too!

It is important for you to show support for your team on game day and we are firm believers in educating our children on dressing to impress at an early age.

Get out your Badger hat, t-shirt, dress or whatever piece of Badger apparel you have.  

No game day is complete without a smorgasboard of snacks, meats and other treats along with drinks for everyone to enjoy.

Of course, before all of this starts, it is important to ensure that you are clean and smell good on game day and the NCAA and Walmart, along with Axe, Dove Men+ and Degree want to make sure your pregame froming needs are taken to the next level.  Before you settle in to your normal game day ritual make sure you cleanse, protect and stlyle prior to your party.

Right now you can score a $5 Walmart gift card when you stock up on $15 of more of Unilever mens grooming products at Walmart. (This offer available on in-store purchases only and all purchases must be in one transaction).

Join Us for the #HoliSPRAY Toy Donation Exchange

I am excited to announce that we have teamed up with Old Spice for their #HoliSPRAY Toy Donation Exchage to benefit Second Chance Toys.

Second Chance Toys is a non-profit organization dedicated to keeping plastic toys out of landfills by donating them to children in need throughout local communities in the U.S.

The inaugural Old Spice HoliSPRAY Toy Donation Exchange, runs from Dec. 3 through Dec. 15, and encourages moms and dads to donate their children’s gently used plastic toys in exchange for Old Spice Re-fresh Body Spray, the gift that keeps on giving one spray at a time.

We are happy to be hosting a toy donation exchange in our community and can’t wait to kick things off.  According to the National Center for Children in Poverty, nearly 14 million children in the U.S. – 22 percent of all children – live in families with incomes below the federal poverty level. This has been a driving force behind Second Change Toys since the organization was established in 2006.  In our home, you will find toys scattered throughout our home all day, every day.  Toys are what inspire our children to learn, create and imagine and every child should have the opportunity to experience that joy.

Old Spice has recruited actor Nolan Gould of ABC’s acclaimed hit comedy, “Modern Family,” and Old Spice Guy Isaiah Mustafa to act as HoliSPRAY Toy Donation Exchange Ambassadors. On Dec. 10, Gould and Mustafa will host a toy collection event at Hollywood High School in Los Angeles, which will serve as one of many toy collection locations across the U.S. participating in the program.

Please visit us on Facebook for more information on making a donation if you are local to Green Bay.

You can find a list of donation locations throughout the US on the Second Chance Toys website.
