Barclaycard Ring ….. is it in your wallet?

Chris and I normally don’t “do” credit cards.  And I definitely don’t endorse them.  Then I was introduced to the Barclaycard.  A credit card that goes against all the “credit card rules” I’ve become accustomed to. 

Let me introduce to the Barclaycard Ring .  Ready? 

The Barclaycard Ring is a new, one-of-a-kind online credit card with its own online community.  Customers can join the community to voice their experiences, find out current balance, and stay informed by the company.  How cool is it that?  Not only does this company “do” social media well, they know how important it is to their customers!  Through this online community, not only are they opening up lines for communication but they paving the way for the future. 

 Can you imagine a world in which every credit card company was this good to their customers?   You don’t need to imagine any longer.  The BArclaycard Ring is here!  I love how transparent Barclaycard Ring  is.  No secrets, no hidden agendas.   Get this… Barclaycard Ring Mastercard will have one, low interest rate of 8 percent for all balances, no balance transfer fee, no annual fees and simple, easy-to-understand terms.  That’s right..8%.  Where else can you find a credit card with all those benefits? 

Here is a sample screen shot.  Open communication makes all the difference.  Barclaycard takes it to new level! 

 

 Don’t just take my word for it.

Check out http://www.barclaycardring.com for more information and to request an invitation to the community.

I was thrilled to be part of this campaign (with Dweeb Media) for Barclaycard Ring.  All opinions are my own.

Date Night Makes all the Difference

Chris and I love to date.  Dates got a little tricky after kids… however, we still make it a priority.   We  love the “alone time” and we know that it helps to keep our relationship strong.  We also believe that time away from our kids helps us to be better parents in the long run. 
 
One of the most challenging things about date nights has been contacting our sitters.  Forgetting to call in a timely manner  OR  spending an evening calling everyone we know just to find someone to babysit.  I have always thought there has to be a better way.  Then I learned about SitterScout . 
 
While SitterScout it is NOT a scheduling or recruiting service, SitterScout makes it easy to schedule your babysitters.   Here’s how it works:
 
1)  We decide to go on a date.
2) I get online (through my laptop or phone) and send the word out electronically that we need a babysitter.  Our sitters (those we have entered into the database at SitterScout) can then respond to the request as they are able.  All sitter information is only visible to us and is safe in the database. 
3) Finding a sitter has never been easier.  We go out on a date, our sitter gets to spend the evening with our kids, and we all live happily ever after. 
 
What are you waiting for?  Get going.  Visit SitterScout to set up your very own account!

Clay Aiken paid my mortgage

Many moons ago, Chris and I lived in St. Louis. He went to Seminary and
I was a school teacher. Bills were often tight… but those were fun days. We lived in the city and thrived on the freedom that comes before children.

One summer, while at a garage sale, I purchased 100 WWJD bracelets for $5. My thought… we’re going into ministry. We will use them at some point.

That year, Clay Aiken was on American Idol. He wore a black WWJD bracelet and it was all the rage. Those 100 bracelets I owned…. ALL BLACK.

Ebay became a close friend of mine… 100 bracelets sold like hot cakes.

Thanks to Clay Aiken and a $5 investment, my mortgage was paid.
Share a story… I’d love to hear it.

Bertolli Challenge: Make a Weeknight Meal Special


I love a challenge! Especially when it’s centered around food! Bertolli issued the challenge to create a special weeknight meal… spending no more than an hour prepping, cooking, and decorating.

We found Bertolli Meal Soups in the freezer section at Ingles. There were a few Meal Soups to choose from… but we were in the mood for the Tomato Florentine & Tortellini with Chicken. We set the table with our best and warmed a loaf of Italian Bread in the oven.

The soup couldn’t have been easier to prepare… it took just a matter of minutes! It really would be perfect for any night of the week…. either planned or as a last minute treat. Each Meal Soup contains 2 servings and the Tomato Florentine was 11 Weight Watcher’s points per serving. It was so delicious and definitely worth every single point! Sadie, my five year old, licked her bowl clean!
It won’t be long until we try the other rich flavors! I hope you will too.

While all my opinions are my own, I was compensated by Bertolli to participate in the Weeknight Meal Special Challenge.
