During back to school, (and all year long), I stalk out Groupon for great local deals, and amazing online deals. From dates with the husband, to stuff for the house, I find deals on there all of the time. Right now, many deals are geared for kids, or for the dorm. Find organizational items, PJ's, some trendy accessories, and lots more. Right now you can even pick up a Schticky for only $15. Tell me you have no desire to try it.. I know I do!! Especially since one of our resident reviewers told us she LOVES hers for her stairs. I don't have stairs, but I'm sure I could find something to use it on!

Anyway- join Groupon, if you haven't already, and personalized deals and special offers will be emailed directly to you. Once you find an offer you can't live without, you simply purchase it, and then follow the prompts online to redeem it. For local items, we print out our Groupon, take it with us, and redeem it much like we would a coupon. I'm telling you- once you start, you'll become hooked. Have fun browsing!

Yes, I just aged myself in reffering to that commercial- but alas, it is true- I got a Dell!

Cover Bee Laptop Sleeves Review + Giveaway

This winter, I was given the opportunity to review a Cover Bee Laptop Sleeve. Available in an array of colors, patterns and sizes (yes, even for your netbook!) Cover Bee Laptop Sleeves are the perfect accessory to your laptop.

I don't know about you, but my laptop is my baby. I seriously cannot live without it, and with two kids, I feel like I have to extra to protect her. Yes, I just called it a "her". I have a bag that I tote her around in, but for me, I felt like I needed something else. I went to a conference and noticed that even in the bag, things were scratching or rubbing against her. I needed to make sure she was protected, from the stuff in my tote, and from my kids.You know that little space between your keys and your screen (when your laptop is closed? My kids went through a phase where they were "sending me mail" and sliding random notes and tiny drawings through the "mail slot". I was hoping that this laptop sleeve would protect her from them.

Cover Bee Laptop Sleeves happened to be my answer to my prayers. Okay, that may have sounded a little dramatic, but I'm telling you since having my beautiful black boa laptop sleeve the amount of times that I've opened my laptop to discover little pieces of "mail" left to be discovered by me has incredibly decreased. Also, every time I go anywhere with it, I get several compliments on it. Within the next few weeks I'll be getting a new laptop, and I can't wait to put my new baby in it. Perhaps then the new one won't get as many tiny surface scratches that my current laptop sports. My only regret is that I didn't get this laptop sleeve sooner, because I know that if my laptop is in it, the kids are not asking to take it out. They know that if it's covered, it means that the laptop is "away" or waiting for Mommy to work on it later. It's eliminated so many tiffs in our house over who's turn is it now, not to mention how banged up it would probably look if I didn't have it.. I absolutely love it.

Cover Bee Laptop Sleeves come with a soft quilted lining perfect for protecting your "baby". Whether cows, polka dots, or snakes bring out your wild side, Cover Bee has a design that will fit anyone's taste. Each sleeve is custom made in Holland; the quality of the sleeve itself is very high, and to know it comes from a great company that gives opportunity to those in need of a chance to succeed makes this laptop sleeve that much more valuable in my eyes. When you visit Cover Bee the prices you'll see are in Euros, but they run from about $24-34 USD.
