Giveaway! Celebrating Mommy Saves Blog $25 iTunes Gift Card

-
To celebrate the birth of my blog I have decided to host a giveaway. No sponsors for the giveaway here, I just thought I haven't had experience in working one, so I am work in progress and I am hoping to gain a few more readers in the process. It is after all how I came across a lot of the blogs I am familiar with and that I follow.  


I have been blogging now on Mommy Saves for almost 2 months now and have been enjoying the learning curve. I have been social on mostly Instagram and Twitter meeting new bloggers and/or mamapreneurs (my made up word for the hard working Mama's). I have been learning a lot but still have so much to learn. So here's to my first giveaway and good luck!

    I am most looking forward to cherry blossoms trees. We're new in this area and I'm not sure there are any around here. I sure hope so, they are so beautiful!

      Depends where you are I guess, but in Ontario we do I think about mid May. All the fruit trees have the gorgeous blossoms probably more apple then cherry around here but they are quite stunning as well and have same effect when bunched together!

      Yes, the kids love camping too. That reminds me, I should start looking for some weekend spots before they fill up.
      Eating your own fresh veg is so gratifying and tasty!

    These longer daylight hours do help my mood. Today was beautiful. I feel so accomplished. I spent about 2 hours cleaning up the front yard. 2 bags full and a I'm sure a sore back in the morning!

Staying at Disney World's Coronado Springs

If you've noticed my last few posts you may have noticed that we had recently had a great vacation in Disney World. I had booked the 2018 Free Dining Plan deal back in April 2018 with some other tricks to help save a few dollars. We decided to book Disney's Coronado Springs this time around. It is a moderate resort with a Mexican theme. As I mentioned on my Hot Offer blog post on the dining plan, staying on site at a Disney Resort has a lot of perks. 

The rooms were nice and spacious. I loved the hard floor, high beds that fit suit cases under, ample ports to charge devices and electronics. The barn style slide doors to separate the washroom which had double sinks and plenty or storage. The washroom and shower were separated by a pocket door.

The rooms are equipped with a mini fridge and a bonus was the Keurig coffee maker with stocked to go cups! As a Canadian girl the coffee in the area isn't up to par and having done my research, knowing about the Keurig I brought my own …

Great Book Series for Kids 10 and Up

I am so happy that I have an avid reader in my 10 (very soon to be 11) year old. I had introduced books at to him at a young age. Even before he was one years old, I would have him look through board books and read to him. I started our routine of book before bed long long ago I'd say at 2 years of age. To this day it is still a routine that we continue to do and I have done the same with my younger son too. It is a bit time consuming now, especially that we are into some great novels (even for adults to enjoy). However, it is a special bonding time and we both look forward to it. 

Since he was about 8 years old we got into some great books like the Harry Potters. He usually gets a a few books or a set at Christmas. His first true set of novels was the Harry Potter collection, which I'm sure you've heard of and read or at least your child has. If not, well you should! They are fantastic books full of excitement in such a well made up world. Even if you have seen the movies …

Healthy Grain Salad With Bulgur and Chickpeas

-

We had some family over for a BBQ on the weekend and I needed some sides to go with BBQ chicken. I don't know about you, but I'm always looking for new ways to incorporate some healthy eats, especially in the grain department. I've always loved tabbouleh. It a very refreshing Mediterranean salad with lots of parsley and bulgur. I happen to have some bulgur on hand but I thought the vast green of the dish can deter some folk from even trying tabbouleh and well it's a bit early in the season for my fresh parsley and mint. Then I recalled my Chickpea Dill recipe and thought that they could work well together.

Well, I'm happy to say they did and I quite like the texture of the bulgur and the fullness of the chickpea together. I stuck with the other key elements that are great in the tabbouleh like tomatoes, garlic and cucumber. I still added parsley too just not a mountain of it. I decided to go with scallions because I'm loving them lately as my go to fresh onion.
