Hot Deal! $15 on Ebay for only $7 Groupon

Today you can get a Groupon for an Ebay gift card worth $15 for only $7, more than 50% off! The great thing is this gift card can be used toward shipping and handling, and it can also be used over more than one visit.

Often these hot Groupon deals are available through Swagbucks later in the day, so you may want to wait and see if that becomes available. If you buy it through them, then you will also earn some free Swagbucks!

UPDATE: There was a step-by-step guest post on MoneySavingMom about how to purchase any Groupon through Swagbucks. I bought this ebay deal and was instantly credited with 160 swagbucks!

Leapfrog Fun!

After church on Sunday

the girls played leapfrog

in their matching dresses.

Braids Galore!

Last week G asked me if I would french braid her hair. Actually, she didn't know what it was called, so she asked for "a fancier braid, not a regular braid".

Being the mother of 5 girls, you would think I would know how to french braid. I do know the basic mechanics of it, as my mom used to french braid my hair (way back when it was long!). She has tried to teach me many times over the years, but I can never get it quite tight enough. (Funny side note--my french braids are too loose, but my crochet stitches are way too tight--hmmm...)

So when G asked me to french braid her hair, I went to youtube to look for a "how to french braid" video. What a found was a bunch of videos with a lot of cute girl hairstyles, so the girls and I had fun all day!

First I practiced french braiding (I admittedly still need practice!), then we ventured into some other fun styles. I'm a work in progress, but here are some of the "do's" we did! G is sporting a flip-braided heart on the right, and M and F have waterfall french braids. What fun!

Do you have any fun hairstyles or tips you can share with me?
