freebies

Of all the photo sharing websites online, my go-to source is Shutterfly. I've ordered photos, books and cards from them and have always been happy with the end product.

In the last week I came across two Shutterfly promotions- one for a free magnet and another for a free mug. Of course if free stuff presents itself to me, I can't pass it up. I wouldn't normally buy a personalized magnet or mug, but once again, why not if I can get it for free, right?

 

So I just placed my order and observed a few things that I wanted to point out:

Ordering stuff via Shutterfly takes some time. In fact, you should probably do it in a quiet place, free of distractions. Trying to pick a few photos from thousands of photos is a tall task.

 

Shipping fluctuates depending on what you get and ultimately it seems like you are paying more for shipping because you are getting stuff for free.

 

I paid $10+ shipping for two free items that would normally be $20+.

Nonetheless my order is in and I'll be receiving my magnet and mug in a few days so we shall see.

The hassle and time it took from start to finish makes me wonder if it was worth it.

 

Do you question promo deals like what I just went through?

good day

I'd say it was a pretty good day, and days like today don't happen often.

While it's fresh in my head, I must blog about it before I forget.

Work was surprisingly productive today- at least the morning, and that helped make up for 1/2 the day. Very nice! A conversation with my bff that was much needed got me through the rest of the work day. I love her, we need to spend more time together but it's so hard being working moms.

Rarely do I ever get to leave the office when I should technically leave (4pm), but I was outtie on time and it felt great to head north with out hitting any traffic getting out of downtown or at the merge. When I got home, I was able to work out- and it was a good work out!

Both hubs and I got our work out in, yaaay!

Luckily I prepped some chicken last night, so all I needed to do was cut up some veggies for hubs to grill. H came over, we had a yummy dinner and CJ went down with out a fight.

And guess what? I even squeezed in some TV and watched a movie!

My ideal day, that doesn't normally fall into place, actually panned out.

As much as I'd like to have somewhat of a routine in my life, I kind of just go with the flow.

Likely, once I get home from a long day at the office, things can differ from one day to another.

As long as I can get up and out with a little activity I'm happy.

And more importantly, as long as I have quality time with this adorable face it is def a good day!
