Forget the Mommy Guilt, it's a new day
Summer has been an inspiration to me to be a “good” blogger again. She has consistently good content and I love to read her reviews. I hope you guys enjoy them as well. Here is her 30 Day Check in with her progress on the 60 Day SlimDown with Lindsay Brin.
By Summer:
I’ve been doing the Lindsay Brin 60 Day SlimDownTM. I have to say I don’t have food will power, even for only 30 days but I really have been putting in 100% effort in my workouts. I’m half way done with the journey I promised to blog about and though I’ve lost about 5 pounds and about an inch around my belly (1 inch below my belly button). The biggest thing I’ve noticed thus far is my posture. Since babies, I’ve continued to walk around with a weak back and a protruding tummy like I’m still pregnant.
Pre 60 Day SlimDownTM I’d been asked if I was pregnant with a third by friends, strangers, and my dad. I think many people just assume I want another child since my youngest is between 12-18 months old, so in combined with “the walk” I must be pregnant, right? WRONG! Though I haven’t been told yet that I look like I’m losing weight, no one has asked if I’m pregnant and my husband has noticed definition in my body in places where there wasn’t any since before babies. I’m very pleased with my body thus far and really am looking forward to days 31-60 continuing my 60 Day SlimDownTM.
Don’t forget you can get your body back too with the 60 Day SlimDownTM for 30% off the $49.99 SRP using the code 60daydvd30 on the Moms Into Fitness website.
You can also follow Lindsay Brin on her NEW Facebook page and on Twitter @LindsayBrin. I like that she really is the one on the other end of her communication and is open to questions to help you with your fitness goals.
Summer was provided with the 60 Day SlimDown, this is her honest experience using the system.

The final book in the donation series from Klutz is Invasion of the Bristlebots. With this book you can create the ultimate maze rat, or just your own creepy crawly critter. Yikes get mom running for the hills when you set your little creation on the loose. This craft book makes activity time seem like play time for the little boy in your life. It is a great learning tool, allowing also for creativity and ingenuity. I heart Klutz.. This does not magically make your children want to brush their teeth, but will make youngsters feel that they should put all the pieces in their mouth. So don’t let your toddler play with it. 😉

#1 Award winner 2009 Toy of the Year Award, FamilyFun magazine Invasion of the Bristlebots comes with two mini-robots —basically motorized toothbrush heads. These guys zoom around like caffeinated cockroaches, spinning, skittering, and bouncing off walls. Resistance is futile. The book bristles with ideas for robot games and activities: race robots against each other, use the included punch-out walls to construct a bristlebot maze, stage a robot sumo-wrestling match. You can even customize your Bots with the provided wire legs, feelers, and beady eyes.

Welcome to Mom Start Saving, where moms can come and leave their link about the hard work they do saving money; and where other moms can find great deals.
Last week, I wrote my blurb when I was tired and ready to go to bed. This time I’m running late but it might actually be for the best. I have mo energy in the morning. I’m going to be going to Albertsons tomorrow and I need to do a huge coupon match up because they have some really great spend 10.00 and then you get more money off. I’m quite excited. So I’m going to scour the internet and all of my coupons.
This week, I want to know how you are using websites to help you save money. I do have another sponsor for us this week. Coupon Chief.
Coupon Chief is a little bit different from most of the sites out there that give you coupon codes and a percentage back. Instead of offering you different percentages for different sites:
We pay you back!
We offer you the ability to share revenue with us! For any coupon you submit, we’ll share 2% of revenue earned from purchases made with that coupon.
I have also found that they are very pleasant on the eyes to look at. The site is simple and organized.
We have it covered
You’ll find codes for thousands of retailers on our site – from computers to apparel, you’ll find it here. Our offerings represent an amazing range of coupon codes for you to browse and use!
You have a lot of input at Coupon Chief.
Get coupons that work
Don’t get stuck with coupons that either don’t work or are expired. CouponChief invites its members to comment, rate and validate coupons so everyone always has access to the best deals. Once a coupon expires, it gets removed from the site so you only see what’s absolutely valid.
Our users help
We know how tough it is to find every coupon out there, so we’ve invited you to contribute. This helps us keep an exhaustive database of all working online coupons.
If you need some great coupon codes for Halloween. You need to check out their Halloween Coupon Code section. They have codes for costumes to decorations, candy to popcorn. So don’t forget to find a coupon before you shop, odds are there is a coupon for any store or item that you are about to purchase. Shop around, find the best deal, and the best deal site that works for you.
25.00 Visa or Master Card or AMEX it depends of what I find over at Fred Meyer. 😉
Please visit the Coupon Chief and come back here and give us your impressions.
Visit Each link from last week’s link up and leave them a comment. Come back here and tell me you did.
You can also add your own link and I recommend that you do because we have another sponsor next week. Please only add links about saving money, coupons or finding free items. You know, anything that is about saving money and in this economy we need all the help we can get.
You can Blog about Mom Start Saving and also be kind enough to link to the sponsor for 5 extra entries;

Friends and family sale is for 25% off of everything on their on-line site. I’m pretty excited by this sale, my husband said I can buy one purse for every purse hook I received for a review in the past. We just don’t have any extra money this month, so I’ll have to wait until their next promotion but I wanted to share this offer with you. Maybe one of my readers can use this 25% off shopping code.
