Epitome of Human Love and Inspiration!

Love your children!

This video deserves to be seen by everyone so I would appreciate if you could take 5 minutes to watch it! I believe it is the epitome of human love and should be an inspiration to everyone.
 

 

 A Son asked his father, "Dad, will you take part in a marathon with me?" The father who, despite having a heart condition, says "Yes" and they go on to complete the marathon together. This became the inspiration for the father and son team to go on and join other marathons. The father always saying "Yes" to his son's request of going through the race together. One day, the son asked his father, "Dad, let's join the Ironman together."

To which, his father said "Yes".

If you don't know, the Ironman is the toughest triathlon ever. The race encompasses three endurance events of a 2.4 mile ocean swim, followed by a 112 mile bike ride and ending with a 26.2 mile marathon along the coast of the Big Island. As always, the Father and son went on to complete the race together!

Please Share the love and hug your children tonight!! Comment below with what you think.

 

 

Ibotta = Cash Back on Groceries!!

FREE Money!!

Ibotta is an app available for smartphones. I love it as it gives me cash back on items I would regularly buy. You just scan your UPC and the receipt and that's it!! The money can be cashed out or instantly transferred to a Paypal account- whichever you prefer. You can also donate your cash back to any school in America. (if this isn't enough of an incentive to sign up- I'm not sure what is) The app was featured on Google Play and Good Morning America.

Fires in Maine - Donations Needed!

Help Needed!!

So I don't usually post items like this but this one hit close to the heart. A friend I was chatting with on Facebook mentioned how her neighborhood in Lewiston, ME has been affected by local fires. There was a huge fire on Monday leaving over 75 people homeless but another fire started yesterday which affected 3 more apartment homes. I am not asking anyone to donate money but I do know that as couponers we have a ton of extra items around which these people are truly in need of. The YMCA of of Central Maine is collecting donations. The list of items they are collecting is below. Please look it over and see if there is anything you could donate -the only thing it would cost would be shipping unless you are in Maine (the address can be found on the left side of the facebook page!). These people are in need and can use anything we can donate! I have already mailed in a care package with non-perishable foods and a ton of hygiene items. I could not imagine what it would be like to lose absolutely everything I own and can only imagine how devastating that would be. Please see a few photos below and contact me for more. You can also contact the YMCA of Central Maine for more information! 

 

 

*** These photos are actual photos of the fire. My friend took these photos herself and they are not photoshopped in any way.

Items which are needed: 

• Non- Perishable Food Items
• Personal Hygiene Items - q-tips, nail clippers, razors(new), feminine products, soap, deodorant, shampoo, baby shampoos, lotion etc
• Towels & Wash Cloths

Thank you Teachers!!! -- BOGO Chipotle!!

National Teacher Appreciate Day!

May 7th is National teacher appreciation day. I think teachers are an integral part of the education system and I truly appreciate their hard work and passion. I can definitely look back at my life and know of some teachers who truly touched my heart and my mind. Those are the teachers who inspire us to grow as individuals. I am happy to announce that any teacher who brings a school ID card  into a Chipotle, from 4 pm to close, will receive BOGO Burritos  bowls, salads or order or tacos. I personally LOVE the tacos and would recommend them to anyone visiting Chipotle. Comment Below with how a teacher how changed your life!!
