WFMW: Moo Business Cards

moocards.jpg

A few months ago, at the Sony Mommy Blogger Event, I was the only LEE-OOOSER without business cards. What a DORK! Em and I have been meaning to get some for a long time but never got around to it. Then, Christina, who was at the event, showed me her very cool business minicards from Moo.com. I came home and ordered Emily and me some immediately! They are so cute, hip, and memorable and you can buy these great little holders for them that go on your key ring! That way, you’ve always got your cards, whether you are battling your way through IKEA, waiting in line with a bunch of vicious bargain-hunting moms at a consignment sale, or just making your bi- tri- weekly run to CVS. Here is the package Em and I got, it comes with approximately 15 different designs. The pre-made designs are awesome, but you can also use your own photos if you want to! How cool is that? I’ve really enjoyed my Moo cards and I think they really do work for me! So go check ’em out! And for other great Works for me Wednesday ideas, check out Rocks in My Dryer.

We Survived

Yesterday was my first day back at work, and all four of us lived to tell about it. Barely. Getting up at 5:30 was AWESOME, let me tell you.

Once I got to work, I was immediately overwhelmed by the piles of stuff on my desk and the 1811 emails in my in-box. And before I could sort through much at all, it was time for a staff meeting. Take it from me – do not go back to work on the day of a staff meeting. Between that and not knowing when and where I was going to pump, I was pretty much ready to jump out the window. Actually I think my 11:00 IM to Jenny was something along the lines of “I hate this!” It got a little better as the day went on, though. Lunch with my friend at our favorite Mexican restaurant was nice, and the afternoon was too busy to be upset.

Andy, Sam and Kate did well together yesterday… they walked to the park and the library, which wore Kate out enough to actually take a nap. Sam, after some initial resistance, took his bottles well, and only had four during the time I was gone. That seems like a managable amout to pump, so I am feeling good about that at least.

All and all, it wasn’t quite as awful as I had expected, although I did miss them terribly. Yesterday also confirmed some things I had been contemplating before I left to have Sam, and I am more sure now than ever that it’s time to make some changes in my working life, and while I don’t really know what direction I want to go or exactly how to make it happen, I feel ready to take action and start to figure out what I really want to be when I grow up.

Thanks for all the support I received on all of my “But I don’t want my maternity leave to be over!” posts. I truly appreciate it!

CVS Deals Matched with Competitor Coupons, July 6-13

Well don’t get too excited ladies, there isn’t much in the way of crazy great deals this week! But there are a few worth mentioning if you have need of these items.

Playtex Sport or Gentle Glide tampons, buy 1 at $4.99 get 3 ECB.
There is a $1/1 q in the Walgreens EasySaver catalog and a $1 off printable here for the Playtex Sport. If you have both of these q’s, you pay $2.99 and get back 3 ECB, so free after coupon and ECB works for me! There was also a $1/1 q in some 6/21 RedPlum inserts. I didn’t get that coupon in mine 🙁 but hopefully YOU did!

Duracell batteries, 2.99
There is a $1/1 q in the Walgreens ES catalog and there was a 75 cents off q in last week’s Smart Source. If you use both, you end up with $1.24 for a 4-pk. of name brand batteries, which isn’t too shabby.

M&M’s 11-14 oz. are 2/$4
There is a $1/2 q in the Walgreeens ES catalog. If you buy $12 worth of M&M’s, you get a free M&M’s NASCAR cooler by mail. So Yee-haaaa!
