Memories, Magic and Coupons! (#SaveWithBarbie)

 Barbie has always been a part of my life. When I was five years old I was obsessed with Barbie and toy ponies. Obsessed. I had my dolls and ponies tucked in with me at bedtime, and sitting next to me for breakfast. Barbie came in the tub, played on the swings, and slept over at grandmas house with me. Sometimes I was even nice, and shared with my little sister. But that was because she had the Malibu Barbie Dream House!

 My mom, being ever so awesome, always kept us stocked up on retro Barbie goodies via thrift shops and yard sales. Holidays were always the time for new dolls!

  One of my favourite childhood memories include Barbie. My mom stayed up the night before my sixth birthday and made me the bestest most magical cake ever! She isn't the most talented baker, and most of our celebrations have been with store bought cakes, so this was an extra special cake. It was a 3-D Barbie cake! *squee*  Her skirt was made of sweet white cake, with white vanilla icing and it was trimmed with red cinnamon hearts. Standing up in the middle of the skirt there was a beautiful Barbie with long blonde hair, and a crown. She was holding twinkling sparklers and there was a candle with the number "6" on it. Holy Hanna I swear I died that moment and went to Barbie Heaven! Cake candy and Barbie? Best. Birthday. Ever!

 As I've grown up my Barbies and I have parted ways, but the memories are always there. I love watching my daughter and son playing for hours with dolls. They pretend to bake, go horse racing, and play car mechanic. It always takes me back to those happy days when my little sister and I would play for hours and hours with Barbie, Skipper, Ken and Whitney. Oh the good times! :)

 Do your little ones play with Barbie?

 Starting Tuesday August 7, 2012, Barbie and WebSaver.ca will be offering great mail out coupon savings on some of your favourite Barbie products. From clothes to dolls to accessories- every Tuesday and Thursday until September 13, 2012 will be a new chance to #SaveWithBarbie!

 You can keep an eye out on my Facebook page, and Twitter feed for a reminder!

 I don't know about you... but I'm excited to #SaveWithBarbie!

DonateNaturally.com - Shop Organic, and Donate to Your Causes (Giveaway) #TGCBB

 Two things that I love about being Canadian? We have good food, and generous hearts. When the two collide magic can happen!

 

"DonateNaturally.com is an online grocery shopping destination that sells organic and natural groceries, including everything from fresh organic produce, dairy and meat, to beauty, personal and household items. There’s a special diet and child/infant category too, so Donate Naturally really is a one-stop shop for your grocery needs. The best part is, the school or charity of your choice receives 15% of the value of every order you place. All groceries are priced the same, or less, than your local grocery or natural food store and there is no mark up in pricing to accommodate the 15% donation component. Donate Naturally even offers FREE next-day delivery right to your home, with no minimum order. Donate Naturally is easy and convenient, and you'll also be surprised how far your grocery dollars can go towards helping your favourite cause."

 Long story short? Buy great products at a fair price, and support a cause near and dear to you. Talk about real Soul Food!

 As part of The Great Canadian Blog Bash I am happy to highlight Donate Naturally, and their great approach to fundraising (seriously- 20 people buying steak or shampoo, and having 15% going to the same cause? Hello school fundraiser!)

 I'll be posting a review of Donate Naturally in the coming weeks, but in the meantime Donate Naturally would love for you to experience the warm fuzzy shopping experience for yourself.

 Giveaway!

 Donate Naturally is offering one lucky reader a $20 Gift Code to go grocery shopping. Simply check out their site, and let me know what you would buy! Fill out the Rafflecopter form for your entry to count, and check out the extra entry options!
