The PERFECT Gift

2011-10-21T12:55:00.000-07:00

With the holidays RIGHT around the corner

I am on pursuit of the "Perfect Gift".

You know that gift you find and you say, "That is SOOO___________!"

Jewel Kade just released their NEW Photo Charm Center

and I have to say

I HAVE FOUND MY PERFECT GIFT!

Check out some of these examples...

This is the one that I made that I will be asking Santa for this Christmas!

LOVE LOVE LOVE!

For the back side I made this custom pic using www.picnik.com's FREE Photo Editing Software.

If that is too much for you, just tell me your thoughts and I can create some ideas for ya!

These are a few that were made by a fellow Stylist that are also so unique and charming!

You can take ANY pic and turn it into a hand crafted photo charm!

There is also an option to have 2 pics on the front and back of your charm

and

Jewel Kade has some gorgeous backgrounds to select from too.

You can play around with this for FREE on my website!

www.jewelkade.com/tiffanydirks

Just click on the far right for Photo Charms and start creating!

It will let you know exactly what it will look like and how much it will cost before you order it so there are NO obligations to buy.

Have fun!

Welcome 24/7 MOMS!

I had such a FUN time with you on last night's webcast!

Thank you for joining in!

If you missed it you can still check it out here tomorrow.

Here is a recap of a few of my favorite Strategic Shopping & Frugal Living Tips...

1. Get the newspaper!

It is the #1 source of coupons. You need it to be successful!

Get 1 paper/person in your home that way when there are stock up opportunities you can create a manageable {what you will use in a year's time} stockpile, shop from yourself, and PAY yourself!

Don't we all want to spend our money on things that we WANT!?

2. SAVE on Organic produce!

Full Circle Farm is my FAVORITE Organic produce company.

They deliver to your door in most cases, you can customize your order, AND they offer a discount for referring your friends!

Every Tuesday I post about Full Circle Farm on my Facebook page. You can do the same and get a even better deal on your order!

Currently, you can save $10 on your first box when they use the promo code eBenefits and include your name {Tiffany Dirks} when they sign up.www.fullcirclefarm.com!

3. SAVE on designer clothing!

Who doesn't LOVE a designer deal?

I was rocking out the Salvation Army Boutique all summer long when it was just a few miles from my home. Now it has been relocated to Seattle.

I will be making the drive now for sure but a little less frequently.

It is probably a blessing in disguise because my closets are overflowing with designer goodness!

Make sure to check and see if there are Boutique second hand store locations in your area.

4. Get Organized!

Don't let your coupons become a HOT MESS!

Not only will you lose the opportunity to cash in on hot deals but you won't keep up on Strategic Shopping unless it is easy.

Check out my YouTube on FAST & EASY coupon organization HERE and HERE.

Consider purchasing your own Coupon Organization System from HERE.

5. Live Debt Free!

Dave Ramsey offers a basic yet revolutionary program called Financial Peace University.

The combo of this program and Strategic Shopping has helped us pay off $30,000 in debt over the past year alone!

Paying off debt puts MORE cash back into your pocket!

4

2011-09-15T10:58:00.000-07:00

4 has become my favorite number.

The root of it being, there are 4 of us in our family...or my 4 boys

{Counting out dog Zek. Pronounced Zeke but I got it from my licence place when we lived in Oregon. Since Zek can't read and won't have issues with phonics as a child, I left the original spelling.}

Today 4 has a even more special place in my heart because

today is my boys' birthday!

Calum & Jackson are 4 years old!

They have a unique birthday! It is my husband's birth month, September. And my birthday, the 15th {mine is in December}.

I just LOVE that!

They are half Ryan and half me ALL the way!

Jackson

Calum

In honor of their Birthday I wanted to share a passage from one of my FAVORITE books!

Words of Wisdom for Women by Rachel Snyder

Conceive

"Give life to something-anything-until it's ready to be born. An idea, a dream, a baby, a book, a sculpture, a business. Be pregnant with something-anything-for your own creation.

Hold it inside and feed it and love it and grow it until you're ready to share it with the world.

Nourish it with your own breath and the warmth of your own body and then beating of your own heart. Conceive alone or with other or with the universe or with angles or with your computer.

Carry your conception in a safe place for as long as it takes.

A month or nice, a year or two or seven.

When it feels like you can't carry it another day, wait a day, and then release it.

Let it come out in its own time, in its own way. Be prepared to feel the pain. Be prepared to eel the joy. Be prepared never to feel the same again."

This is the present I bought myself in honor of the boys' birthday.

Since I am a stay at home mama and experience every day with them I thought it was only fair. hehe.

This is Jewel Kade's Crown Charm.

I couldn't resist the symbolism!

The crown is on a Sapphire blue Bavarian Glass Glittered background which is the birthstone color for September.

The crown has 3 Swarovski Crystals, one for each of my September Bday boys.

The back reads "Happily Ever After."

A reminder that THIS LIFE is my fairy tale.

If you enjoy this charm, it too can be yours!

I think it would make a perfect gift for a fall Bride and or a Birthday Queen!

You can order it HERE.

D'lish Dinners & Grocery List

2011-09-14T16:42:00.000-07:00

When I meal plan I keep the following glamorous guidelines in mind:

~Prepares in 20 minutes or less

~Cost $10 or less

~Contains 5 ingredients or less

I aim to make all my meals whole food {From farm to table with assistance from Full Circle Farm.

Not processed & as close to its original source as possible}.

I omit the or substitute ingredients to meet our dietary needs.

Meal Planning is SO glamorous! You don't have to stress at the last minute about what to make. You have all of the ingredients on hand. It is easy on your budget and on your waist line! I also incorporate items from our organic, local, home delivery crop share from

Full Circle Farm.

Using sale items to structure your grocery list and making a Meal Plan is the #1 way to save in your grocery bill! Statistically, 70% of the purchases made at the grocery store on average, are impulse driven. If you can take the guess work out of what you are buying you can save BIG at the grocery store without cutting a single coupon!

Here is my grocery list for the week:

2 milk

1 Almond Milk {coupon}

Eggs

Danimals Yogurt {coupon}

3 Avocados

1 lb of Mushrooms

Strawberries

Blackberries

1 Onion

Red Cabbage

Cilantro

Limes

Shredded Carrots

Ground Turkey

Whole Chicken

All Natural Sausages

Box of Cliff Bars

Eating a sit down dinner with your family is VERY beneficial and will save you a lot of heartache it the long run! AND, it makes your house a home.

Pick & Choose from these d'lish dinners:

#1~Chicken Fajitas

Red Pepper, Green Onion, and Zucchini from Full Circle Farm

#2~Grilled All Natural Sausages & Green Salad

Lettuce, cucumber, and tomato from Full Circle Farm

#3~Sauteed Chicken with Asparagus & Mushrooms with a Side Salad

#4~ Asian Chicken Salad

with Mint from my yard!

#5~ Date Night

Make time for you and your other half to have FUN together, to connect, & to recharge as a couple.

I used to think that organic home delivered produce was WAY out of my budget! Check out this blog post! I was SHOCKED! You can also check out this Vlog to see what is all included.

Rain Check Tutorial

2011-09-13T11:17:00.000-07:00

As the usage of coupons gains popularity stores seem to have an increasingly tough time meeting demands. Towards the end of a promotion shelves are bare! NO need to get frustrated! Just ask for a Rain Check!

I store my Rain Check in my Store specific zipper pouch or accordion file with my coupons so when the products are back in stock, I can go back when demand isn’t as high and still get my deal.

In the case of Albertsons with the Twice the Value coupons, this means you will be a promotion behind in your shopping. You will be able to get the items that were on sale last time and get Rain Checks for the current items for next time. Sometimes you may be pleasantly surprised to see items still ready for you too.

Make sure when you are using a Rain Check to skip the Self Check out and opt for a regular register. The process that the cashier has to go through at Self Check out is grueling in comparison!
