BlogHer ’10: The Big Easy to The Big Apple (Part 1)

I should be sleeping. Renee comes to get me at 5:30am for the airport as we board a plane for BlogHer 2010 at 7:00am and leave the Big Easy for the Big Apple! But, here I am, awake. Frankly, I am too dang excited to sleep and I am going pay for it later (in retrospect, the large sweet tea at 10pm probably was not the best idea ever).

So, while I have a moment, I thought I would thank the sponsors that are helping me attend the conference. First, Corky and Company Coats has been so kind as to sponsor both Cecelia and I, and we couldn’t be more pleased to represent such a great company. Both my girls wear these coats and get compliments every.single.time we go out in them. They are amazingly soft and cuddly! Secondly, I would like to thank Escalate Network for their generous sponsorship as well. I recently joined this affiliate network and attend a webinar held by the owners. I have honestly not been a part of an affiliate network that has been more personal that this one. I have been able to chat with Escalate Network directly, been offered advice on how to best promote the deals and have been able to monetize my blog! Check them out if you are interested in learning how to make money from your blog! Finally, I have to mention A Touch of Whimsy Designs who designed my business cards! The owner, Gina, is amazingly talented and could not be nicer. I look to her anytime I need party invites, gift tags or mommy cards. You can find her on Twitter, too!

I will be meeting up with my fellow Double Duty Divas while at the conference and plan to announce some EXCITING NEWS! If you are a review blogger, you do not want to miss what we have in store! Follow us on Twitter and search the hashtag #DDDivas!

See you in New York!!

Get your Coupons! Get your FREE Coupons!

When’s the last time you spent hours cutting and organizing your coupons only to leave them on the kitchen counter on your way to the grocery store? Unfortunately, I do this more frequently than I like to admit. On a recent webinar with the Escalate Network, I learned about a great coupon service called Cellfire. About the service:

“Cellfire is the premier destination for valuable savings on groceries, shopping, restaurants, and entertainment. Get access and use offers from your PC and/or mobile phone. This service is provided free of charge to all users.* Our retail partners sponsor the offers and discounts — at no cost or obligation to you. With Cellfire, you’ll never have to print, clip, or forget your coupons again!”

You can find deals online or via your mobile phone with a downloadable application. To redeem your coupons, you can have the coupon sent directly to your grocery savings card (you know that little keychain card you swipe at the grocery to receive discounts? It can STORE coupons, too!) or simply show your phone to the cashier to redeem your code! Genius!

Several stores accept Cellfire deals including: Baker’s City Market, Dillons, Fry’s, Gerbes, Hilander, JayC, King, Soopers, Kroger, Owen’s, Pay Less, QFC, Ralphs, Scott’s, Smith’s, Carrs, Dominick’s, Genuardi’s, Pavilions, Randall’s, Safeway, Tom Thumb, Vons, and ShopRite. I also found some great coupons for JCPenney and Sears!
