I want to blog, but I am seriously TOO. TIRED. OHEMGEE. I was up at 6:30am this morning in order to be at my surgeon’s office to sign the surgery consent forms – FYI, I am having surgery (yes, again) on February 1st. CAN I ASK FOR THE SEDATIVE NOW?! – by 8:00am.
And now it’s 10:20pm, and after a busy day of work, errands, dinner, Boy Scouts, and kid wrangling, I am more than ready for bed. So goodnight. 
Mission Tuition’s purpose is simple: offer parents a way to slowly but surely build up their child’s college savings fund while shopping for the items they normally shop for.
Mission Tuition offers a program that is incredibly easy to use: simply jump-start your child’s college savings fund by shopping with participating merchants. Your shopping can be done online or in store. Participating merchants aren’t just retailers – they’re restaurants, service stations, travel-related agencies, and more! Mission Tuition members earn 1-30% in college savings when they shop online; members can also print out special coupons and discount vouchers in order to take advantage of in-store savings opportunities. Additionally, Mission Tuition offers their very own MasterCard, which offers cash rewards on all purchases made with the card – use the card with Mission Tuition merchants and you’ll get double the savings! Check out the list of participating merchants to see some of the popular retailers you can shop and save with.
Mission Tuition isn’t just for parents with children who will one day go to college – it’s for anyone who wants to attend college or go back to school. Also, you can invite family members, extended relatives, and friends, to all help save for college.

Why is it so hard to find casual, comfortable, adorable clothing for little boys? So many retail stores and department stores are guilty of carrying dark or primary colors, and annoying and obnoxious character-themed items. I have never been one for dark colors only, or Spongebob sweatsuits, or Disney t-shirts and shorts. The only character clothing you’ll find in Ryan’s drawers are a few Mario shirts, and one Angry Birds t-shirt that he got as a stocking stuffer. In terms of colors, Ryan has everything from white to pastel to lightly-striped polos to a few darker items. I try really hard to give him a varied wardrobe that isn’t limited to dark or bold colors only.
So imagine my delight when I discovered TeaCollection.com. The site has a great collection of boys clothing. They have everything from adorable little caps to rocker-style jeans to casual flannel shirts. They have everyday clothing items, as well as outfits that are great for holidays and special occasions. And their sizes go up to 12, so you’ll be able to outfit your little guy for quite a while! Check them out at TeaCollection.com.
I recently had the privilege of partnering with Redbox, who gave me several promo codes to use at any of their Redbox kiosks, and asked me to blog about a get-together we had using our Redbox rentals (read the full review here: Our Redbox Movie Night).
