A little more of the sale is sold out every day, so hurry! Check out some of the cute stuff you can find in the pictures within this blog post.
You may be wondering why the title of this post has Care Bears about them! No, it's not a mistake. These pre-paid reloadable VISA cards can include an array of pictures, characters or images. Variety is the spice of life! You can express yourself through your debit card, who would've thought that?
Click the Care Bear CARD picture (above) to be taken to the website!
This is a debit card, like the one from your bank, and you can use it EVERYWHERE Visa is accepted -- except it's way cooler and cuter than your crumby old bank card.
Free card-to-card transfers, any time, anywhere, in seconds
No overdraft fees -- never goes negative!
Safer than cash - 24/7 support, Visa fraud protection and 100% FDIC insurance on funds
No debt, financially responsible, no interest/credit/APRs
No credit check and approval in seconds
22,000 in-network ATMs
Thousands of cool, unique card designs to choose from, including brands like: Garfield, Popeye, Betty Paige, James Dean, Care
Bears, Walking Dead, Star Trek, Autism Awareness, Breast Cancer Research, Shark Week, Where's Waldo, Doodle Jump, etc.
This card is not a gift card, so you can’t give or receive the card as a gift - It's better than a gift card because you don't just use it once and toss it, but instead get to replace your boring bank-issued debit card and show it off over and over.
Free for 30 days - then $5.95 monthly fee, which we waive when you direct deposit over $800 in the previous 30 days. This fee is the same as the Walmart prepaid card and way less than many of our competitors. It's also much less than overdrafting your bank account, paying for a checking account or using a credit card.
You can always try it out and cancel later. The cancellation process is super simple. Our monthly fee isn't assessed until after 30 days, so if you decide you don't want to keep the card, just make sure you spend all $25 before 30 days from the activation date and destroy the card. If the balance is zero after 60 days, the account will close itself due to inaction. Or you can call the number on the back and cancel at any time, but you have to make sure your balance is zero, to avoid the $7 "liquidation fee."
I know this sounds like such a simple thing, but I loved how easy it is to find them on social media. If you can remember the word "CARD" you can find them on social media. For instance their Twitter acct is a super simple @card. Same for their Facebook URL. Maybe that is something only a blogger would appreciate. IDK! It was hard for me to find JUST ONE card I liked. I liked every card pictured in this post. In the end, the Care Bear card was too good to pass up on. I handed it to the barista at Starbucks to pay for my Iced Caramel Macchiato and she smiled at me and said, "AW! That is THE cutest card!" (I told her she could get her own at Card.com and to give it back! LOL!) Another part you'll appreciate is that after you purchase the card and call the 1800 # or Load it online, your funds are available in as little as thirty minutes!!! You can reload the card at most Kmart, CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, among other places. You can set it up for direct deposit which can be time saving too! Long story short, if you need a card like this, don't waste your time with other companies, just use card.com. It's so easy to remember!! Which CARD.com card do you like best? Check them out, and comment on this post!

We're in the middle of summer, and it's starting to come into the home stretch. You know, not quite new anymore. Sleeping in late, getting tired of having nothing to do, or worse- nothing to watch on television? Being stuck at home with all this rain (if you live on the eastern side of the good old USA, we've had some Torrential downpour in the South). While I am not directly on the coast (anymore) I still live in Central Alabama, and Tropical Storm Chantal has been soaking the Atlantic coast for a bit, plus even before HER we had sooo much rain and tornadoes and thunderstorms. Lightning was quaking and thunder was literally shaking the floor of the houses.
So with all that rain night and day, the kids have been stuck inside a bit more than they are used to.
It can make your role as a parent become more challenging during the summer months, right? When you're stuck at home during the summer, not wanting to go out in either the pouring rain, or the humid days you can use streaming Netflix (like my family does) to make the summer months less challenging.
Also, how do you make your family’s movie nights special with Netflix? We like to either make popcorn, or make cookies or brownies before the movie so we have a warm snack to munch on while we watch! Mindless eating, but memories as well!
I like that these movies on the newly- launched Family Movie List inspire creativity and bring my family closer together, giving us some fab summer memories. The other day, we watched Tinkerbell, (its been a while since it came out, so also a bit since my eldest has seen it and she wanted to watch it) she suggested that we paint our nails glittery while we watched it. Since I'm a little inattentive to cartoon kids movies (even though I pretend to be, I go a little ADD...) it's the perfect task to keep me occupied and hands busy while they watch. Then after the movie they (my 8 and 3 yr old girls) decided to get their Tinkerbell figurines out and play with their Barbies, playing fairies... they even got out their fairy wings too!
I feel I should also point out the categories are always spot-on too. Not your run of the mill genres, but more specific. My favorite category to scroll through is always "Catch-Up TV for Busy Parents". Because I sometimes don't know what to watch, but I love how they suggest and seem to know exactly what shows are good, that I would actually like. I never experience any problems with my Netflix at home, and I love how regularly this brand puts new movies on their queue for us to watch, all while bringing it us LOADS cheaper than cable. Actually, we don't have cable- and haven't for a while. I just got tired of paying that much to only watch a few channels and have no control over whats is actually on. I got tired of flipping for 100$ a month. But perhaps one day we will turn it back on- but I am enjoying Netflix for now and have been for a while. You should definitely check out the curated rows/lists from www.Netflix.com/Families. The best part is, even though it will (of course) ask you to sign up (and you should!) you should know that the new Netflix.com/Families page is available for both members and non-members! Just scroll down underneath the signup box, and it's all there.
I love that Netflix has things my girls haven't seen that is an oldie but goodie, like Jem and the Holograms!!! I used to LOVE to watch that cartoon/show when I was my eldest's age, and it is something nice to have on for background noise, and I find myself singing along.
Gigi watching Jem
Netflix is also green for the environment and your wallet, to keep you from buying new movies (or older ones) and that you don't leave your house & spend your money- making it also economical and eco-friendly. :-) Also, I love saving my time standing in line to rent a movie from a machine and then trying to get it back on time. That's TWO trips. Not to mention if I DON'T return it on time, I have to pay for another day!!
Netflix.com/Families is a new destination designed to meet your family’s summertime entertainment needs. On Netflix.com/Families, parents can find lists of movies and TV shows for all kinds of special summer moments.
Visit www.Netflix.com/Families for more information on the best ways to stream as well as videos from families using Netflix.

My husband (as some of you may know) recently came back form Deployment, and it was one of the hardest we have had, even though he wasn't gone as long- because it seems like everything breaks. This time, more stuff broke than usual. Here are the things that broke--
The air conditioner (2x) in the sweltering fl/ga atlantic ocean heat.
Both Vaccums
PLUS my Neato Robotic Floor cleaner (my daughter dropped it in the floor and broke the wheel.
My Keurig
My Sodastream
We had money stolen from our bank acct ($600) - walmart online specifically, and I had to get that money back..
My daughter dropped her toothbrush down the bathroom drain (she is 2) intentionally- and it got clogged...
My Clothes Dryer quit working
I think there's more but now that Noah is home is slowly fixing everything.
On top of taking care of the house, the bills, the garden, the kids, the pets, myself, the yard .. school, everything alone.... Thank god, our health was good and my car didn't break down! So it definitely Could've been worse. Which is why I know sometimes when he's not around I have to be strong for him and for our 2 daughters. I have to know when to act soft or strong in my life and with my family. Now that he is home again, it's time to go back to being softer more feminine. When do you think it is appropriate to be soft or strong with your family and loved ones? I think it's appropriate to be both at all times. Women today have more responsibility and demands than women of older eras. Women are expected to be work just as hard- if not harder than our male counterparts. I feel like I am supposed to be able to do some of these things; but I don't know how to fix a dryer, and it seems silly to pay a repairman, when he will be home in a few weeks to fix it.. You know what I mean? I am sure he has a rough time when he's gone being separated from the children, but it's never a cakewalk here either. I know they work him so hard, but I can't get away from the kids much, and therefore I get stressed out. Charmin also knows how to be soft & strong.. As Charmin launches a campaign of its own this election year by asking fans across the country to vote for your favorite Charmin: Ultra Soft or Ultra Strong. What is more important to you and your family? Charmin® Ultra Soft is designed with absorbent cushions that allow you to use less versus the leading value brand. Charmin® Ultra Strong’s enhanced DiamondWeave™ texture delivers a clean you will notice, with the softness you expect from Charmin.
Like me, the brands I use also have to be soft and strong! As Charmin asks fans to join them on Facebook to cast their ballots for Ultra Soft and Ultra Strong, join the TP debate and share stories on how they “enjoy the go.” The Charmin 2012 Election is underway and every vote counts! Whether you’re a fan of Charmin’s comfort and softness or strength and durability, you can’t go wrong. Fans are encouraged to participate in regular debate questions on Facebook, sharing how they “enjoy the go.” As a Facebook fan, you will also have the opportunity to win weekly prizes, including a year’s supply of Charmin. Not sure which side to vote for? Take their online quiz and watch the Charmin debate videos by visiting http://facebook.com/Charmin.
I'm also excited to share the news about the Charmin 2012 Election Facebook app - you should definitely cast your vote!

Ingredients: 100% Pure Botanical Oils of Almond, Spearmint and Peppermint.
Trusted Health Products has had great success with OraMD over the last 11 years selling over a half million bottles. OraMD is endorsed by Dr. Tom McGuire, a world-renowned dentist and leading authority on preventive dentistry. OraMD is also starting to be offered in holistic dental offices nationwide.
Here are some other key benefits and features about OraMD you may want to include in your review:
·OraMD is fluoride free and antibacterial
·OraMD contains all-natural ingredients: oils of peppermint, spearmint and almond
·OraMD can be used as a 100-percent liquid pure toothpaste, mouthwash and breath freshener
·OraMD kills harmful bacteria that lead to common oral problems such as periodontal disease
·OraMD freshens breath and fights plaque and tartar
·OraMD has interdental access (gets in between teeth)
·OraMD is used by customers suffering from dry mouth, bad breath, red gums, bleeding gums, swollen gums and gum problems
Here's what I thought. This stuff is pretty stout. I would call it the Whiskey of Menthol Mouth Products. It takes a bit of getting used to. If I was sent the original then I would hate to see how powerful the Extra Strength OraMd is!
This product claims that Toothpaste is bad. This is not the first time I've heard this, and a lot of toothpastes have even taken the extra step to remove SLS from toothpastes, as people with Canker Sores and Cold Sores can get aggravated by this ingredient. Have you ever heard the warnings about not swallowing Fluoride? But why? We put it on our gums? It soaks into our body, right? Why is it OK to brush but not to swallow? You are going to swallow it, duh!
You know what though? I have noticed a big change in my guyms and brushing habits, as strong as it is, and as much getting used to as it took, I have to admit, I quite like it. The other day I couldn't find it, and I had to use my husbands prescription Prevident, and it left my mouth feeling coated with film and not nearly as clean and fresh as when I brush with the OraMD. My problem is, I forget to brush as often as I probably should. I assume most people besides dental professionals would also have this same problem. but with the OraMD I find myself actually wanting to brush more. it's pretty neat and I found my bottle by the way. my small baby (aged 2) took off with it and set it in my kitchen windowsill!
I love that the product is small and easy to store and affordable. I liked how clean my teeth felt after brushing with it. I liked that OraMD is not only toothpaste, but is also a mouthwash when added to water, and can be used in place of mints and gum. When combined with flossing, OraMD is a complete oral hygiene program. I even loved the little glass bottle too, because plastic soaks into our bodies and food in everyday items so darn much, and it is so bad for us! Glass isn't used often enough if you ask me.
Description: Each drop of OraMD® helps clean your teeth, gums and mouth of bacteria causing germs, plaque build-up and bad breath. One bottle lasts approximately 4 weeks, when following the 4 Step Oral Hygiene Program (at 2 drops per use).
Ingredients: 100% pure botanical oils of almond, spearmint and peppermint.
