I LOOOVE Swagbucks!  Join me to earn free gift cards from Swagbucks HERE!  I have already earned (2) $5 Amazon gift cards.  I have been able to pair these gift cards up with Amazon coupons and Amazon Mom to receive free diapers and wipes!  What are you waiting for?  Start searching now!!

***If you are a new member and you sign up today you can get 80 Swagbucks just for signing up!!  So sign up HERE  and then enter BirthdaySavers in the "Enter your Swag Code" box (towards upper right hand corner on Swagbucks home page) and click the "gimme" button!***

I just scored a pack of 100 Pampers diapers for FREE! Yes, FREE! Here's how I did it. You will first need to sign up for Amazon Mom, if you haven't done so already.  You can sign-up or find out more information HERE.  Amazon Mom will give you greater discounts, as well as free 2 day shipping on eligible purchases. 

I then found a pack of diapers for right under $30 (Pampers $29.05).  Using two different Amazon codes from Parents magazine ($10 off) and from American Baby magazine ( 20% off). Make sure to check your magazines for these coupons. There are often free offers for these magazines, or sometimes your doctor's office will have extra's or you can buy them in the store. Watch for a bright green postcard size ad stuck in the magazines, like this:

I have also heard you can stack (2) 20% off coupons if that is all you can find, but the first two letters/numbers in the code must be different in order to do so.  

The other thing I took advantage of was the Subscribe and Save option which takes 30% off also.  You can cancel this at anytime after your order ships.  Since subscribing  with Amazon Mom look for Prime eligible shipments, and you receive 2 day free shipping with that.  

So here is what it looked like:

To pay for the grand total I was able to use my $5 Amazon.com gift card collected from Swagbucks.  If you haven't started using Swagbucks, I would highly suggest you do.  You get "swagbucks" for just searching the internet like you do normally.  If you are interested in signing up go HERE.  If you have any questions PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO ASK!!

Thanks to Houseparty.com and Durex, I was able to throw a very swanky Girl's Night.  It was a fun evening complete with drinks, yummy food, great conversation, a trivia game, and of course lots of photo memories!  If you don't know what houseparty.com is yet I suggest you check it out. 

In short, its a site that promotes products through sponsoring your party.  After you sign-up for houseparty.com you can apply to host numerous different parties, and you will be notified if you were selected.  If you are selected your party pack is Fed-ex'd to you, with whatever goodies that sponsor has decided on.  For my Durex party I received loves boxes, condoms, massagers, lubricants, drink koozies, conversation hearts, a poster, and the trivia game.  Plus it was ALL FREE!

Dinner was quite scrumptious if I do say so myself.  We enjoyed Chicken Tortellini salad, with garlic breadsticks, and a green salad.  I also tried a jello drink to go with it which was a Strawberry Breezer Mousse-tini here is the recipe:

Prep time: 10 minutes (plus refrigerating)

2 pkg. (4 serving size each) JELL-O Brand Strawberry Daiquiri Flavor gelatin

2-1/2 cups boiling water

1 LARGE tub (16 oz) or (two small 8 oz) COOL WHIP Whipped Topping, thawed

1/2 cup of light rum

1 tbsp lime juice

Spread 1 pkg of gelatin evenly onto a large plate.  Dip rims of eight 6-oz. dessert glasses in water, then in dry gelatin powder; set aside until ready to use.  Pour unused gelatin on plate into medium bowl .  Add remaining package of gelatin.  Gradually add boiling water, stirring at least 2 min with wire whisk until gelatin is completely dissolved.   Add whipped topping; stir; until whipped topping is completely melted and mixture is well blended.  Stir in rum and lime juice. 

Pour into prepared glasses.

Refrigerate 2 hours or until firm.  Store leftovers in the refrigerator.

Makes 8 servings, about 1/2 cup each.

Non-alcoholic:  Prepare as directed, omitting rum and increasing boiling water to 3 cups.
