Saving for Education, The Gerber College Plan & a $100 Target Gift Card Giveaway!

January 26, 2012 By

baby dealsOur family’s finances are at the core of many of my thoughts every day. I feel that keeping a good handle on our money situation is big portion of my number one responsibility: to care for our two little ones. Some people may not fully agree with that philosophy, but following that principle keeps us out of debt, keeps our bills paid and motivates me to save money for our family’s future.

My husband and I have an automated system that funnels a certain amount of money into our savings account each week. Just last year, however, it hit me that time slips away quickly, and we needed to start thinking about saving money for Haiden and Piper’s future education. With current estimates showing that a college education will cost at least $36,000 a year (at an in-state, public university that doesn’t include housing costs, books or additional expenses!), I knew we had to start saving if we wanted any hope of being able to help our children with the burden of educational expenses.

After a few conversations but no real action on the topic, I finally decided that starting to save with something, even something small, was better than doing nothing. So new accounts were opened and we’ve added automatic savings into those accounts, too.

I don’t feel great for admitting this, but the truth is that the money is slowly, very slowly, growing in plain old savings accounts with those terrible interest rates that go hand-in-hand with our economy. Again, I know that it’s better than nothing, but I’ll be researching a better plan of action for that money within the next few months to get it in the best possible place for education savings.

The Gerber Life College Plan was designed to help parents like me save for my family’s future. With guaranteed growth, flexibility, and affordable fixed monthly contributions, this program might be the right choice for you and your own children. You can even compare the features and benefits of the Gerber Life College Plan with other savings options, like 529 plans, traditional savings accounts, bonds and more!

Gerber Life is also hosting a great sweepstakes! Visit the Gerber Life Insurance Company page on Facebook to upload your baby’s photos to the Project Open Book picture mosaic. For each photo added to their mosaic compilation, Gerber Life will donate $1 to Reading Is Fundamental, a great nonprofit organization that provides books to children in underserved communities across the country.  In addition to helping these deserving children you’ll also be entered to win $1,000 and other great prizes!

I’m also excited to offer a giveaway in conjunction with the Gerber Life College Plan. One lucky reader will win a $100 Target gift card!

Giveaway! Shout Color Catcher with Oxi: How to Keep Red Dyes from Bleeding in Your Laundry

January 24, 2012 By

baby dealsBefore I had kids I thought I knew everything about laundry. I always sorted out our white clothes and washed those separately. My more delicate items and work clothes would get special treatment, and almost everything else could get washed together without any issues.

Then I had a baby boy. A baby boy who looked fabulous in bright red clothing. I don’t know if it’s all red clothes, or just all the red clothes Haiden happened to wear in his first year, but it seemed that every.single.time I washed any red items from his wardrobe the dye would bleed onto other clothes in the same load. Never mind that I washed everything in cold water with a good detergent. It just didn’t make a difference!

In the blur of those first few months of being a new parent with a new baby, I learned that the red dye that transfers so easily onto other clothes is nearly impossible to get out of the clothes it bleeds onto!

Since then, I realized that the easiest way to keep this problem from driving me crazy was to avoid it. That means I’ve been the militant laundry mom who kept all red and pink clothes separate from everything else, then washed them in their own load. By themselves. I don’t have enough red garments in my house to fill a washing machine up, which means I felt bad for wasting energy every time I washed a partial load of only-red clothing.

baby dealsNow, there’s this new product called Shout Color Catcher with Oxi which delivers on its promise to prevent dyes from bleeding onto other clothes and makes my laundry life just a little bit easier.

Using the Shout Color Catcher with Oxi packets is easy: you just toss a packet in with each load of laundry. As the clothes get washed, these packets somehow absorb loose dyes in the washer to prevent them from bleeding onto other items. The additional Oxi Booster powder contains active stain removers to  tackle tough stains.

Since I have my amazing front loading washing machine, I have to put the packet in a mesh bag before adding it to the drum of my machine. I’m really not sure why, but I’m a “follow directions” sort of person, and the Shout Color Catcher with Oxi works well using that method, so I’m going with it!

I have to say, this stuff isn’t cheap considering you still need to use it along with your regular laundry detergent. You can buy 20 packets of Shout Color Catcher with Oxi on Amazon for $7.63, which means each packet costs about $0.38. It doesn’t sound like much, but 20 loads of laundry are done pretty quickly in my home, so using it all the time would add up fast. I’ll only use it in those where I have red items mixed in with other, lighter colors.

Want to try Shout Color Catcher with Oxi for yourself? Get a printable Shout coupon to save $1 off one pack on Shout’s Facebook page in the Offers section.

Giveaway :: Two lucky readers will win a box of Shout Color Catcher with Oxi.
