My gift closet is looking a little puny after the holidays, and I also haven’t purchased anything for Valentine’s Day yet. Time to pick up a few fun finds, and of course, all on sale! Here’s what’s especially hot today, friends!

Gymboree just put the ENTIRE STORE on sale (30% off!). Get a jump start on swimwear or other cute spring finds. You also get free shipping if you spend $75 or more. No coupon needed for either deal! 30% off Entire Purchase at Gymboree

Here’s what I’m scooping up before we hit the beach! Chevron adorableness!

Julep, makers of beautiful, eco-friendly nail polish, have one of their best deals EVER happening right now! You can get your first monthly box from Julep 100% FREE! And if you don’t love it (and you will love it…) then you can just cancel. If you haven’t tried Julep yet, THIS is the time to do it…when it’s FREE!!!! I personally have about 9 Julep polishes in my collection, and I love them all!

Until 2/8, One King’s Lane is having a Melissa & Doug Sale. It’s a great time to get one or two items for birthday parties you’ll be headed to sometime this year! But the thing that really caught my eye was that the tiger is on sale! We own this, and it is one of the very most played with items in our entire house! I HIGHLY recommend it! 🙂

One of my very favorite shopping sites, Jane, has a SWEET deal on a statement necklace today, and I’m thinking of treating myself!

How’s $3.99 sound for the price?! Which do you think I should get, the round or the teardrop? I can’t decide. So I guess that means both? 🙂 Poke around on the site while you are there…I dare you not to find 12 things you want to snap up!

DaySpring currently has a super cute item that would be perfect for a hostess gift! These hurricane candle sleeves are marked all the way down to $9.99 (originally $28!). I simply love them. 🙂

Kiwi Crate, which is one of my favorite gift ideas for kids EVER has two super cool things happening right now.

Creativity kits for kids!

1. You get free shipping on any $25+ order (use code SHIP25). Yay!

2. A referral program! Once you have a Kiwi Crate, refer your friends. If your friend signs up, they get a $10 credit, and YOU also get a $10 credit. Talk about a win/win! Definitely check that out so that you can earn some credit to the store and hopefully get your next box totally free! I love free, don’t you? 🙂

Sittercity: Need a babysitter so you can actually go on a date once in a while? My family has personal experience using Sittercity (it was a very positive experience, of course!). I highly recommend it to others as a great way of finding vetted sitters. And this month, a 3 month membership is 30% off! Woo hoo!

Create Your Perfect Cleaning Schedule SALE!

· by · Leave a Comment

Do you struggle to keep your house clean? It can be so hard to balance daily cleaning tasks, especially when you have young children at home. Cleaning is never fun and, as a parent, I’d rather be playing with my daughter than cleaning the house. Unfortunately, things eventually start piling up until the household chores become overwhelming.

As some of you may remember, last year I found a great resource for tips on maintaining a clean home. For the past year we have been using the schedule that we put together using the  step-by-step guide found at I Dream of Clean. Christine has put together a great book called Create Your Perfect Cleaning Schedule which contains a master list of almost every imaginable household chore along with tips to complete them faster. She also includes calendar templates along with a guide to creating a plan that is tailor made for your family. The book is short – a quick, easy read. I was very impressed with this book, and I highly recommend it for anyone who has a hard time keeping things organized around the house! Take a look at my blog post from last year to read my thoughts on the book.

If Create Your Perfect Cleaning Schedule sounds like something that would be a good fit for your family, I have some great news for you. From January 1-7, 2012, the Create Your Perfect Cleaning Schedule ebook will be 50% off!!! Just stop by I Dream of Clean and use the Promo Code: CleanNewYear2012. At a price this low, you’ve got no excuse not to work on that New Years’ resolution to keep your house clean!
