~Support AFM~

There are a variety of ways to help support Atlanta's Frugal Mom (the blog, not the Mom), all without spending a dime!  


1)  Simply by being here, and reading this, you're supporting AFM.  For that, I kindly thank you!


2) If you haven't already done so, "like" or "follow" AFM, not just on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, or Google +, but here, on the actual blog.  


 I ask for followers, not to win a popularity contest, but because the more followers I have, the better the giveaways I can offer.  I'm starting to work with certain companies on promotions and giveaways, but they need to know that AFM has a solid base of readers.  Companies just aren't as willing to work with a blogger if they think that only one's friends and neighbors are reading said blog.


3)  Comments, comments, comments!  Leave a comment on the blog.  Leave one on the FB page, or  re-tweet a post.  Send me an email, if you feel so inclined.  Providing me with feedback further shows companies with whom I work on giveaways that this is an active and INTERactive blog.  More importantly, your comments, in whatever form they may take, let me know that you're really reading this stuff.  While I cannot guarantee that I'll always respond to your comments (at least in a timely manner), I do actively try to respond to as many as I can.  (Unless I think it's spam -- then it gets deleted.)  C'mon, you KNOW you have something to say!


4)  Finally, click on my links!  I've made it no secret that I'm working with some affiliate programs.  (In fact, I've yet to come across a money-saving-couponing-frugal blog that does not take advantage of affiliate programs!)  One of the main ways I know y'all are really benefitting from the blog (aside from y'alls remarks here and there), is seeing that you're clicking on the links.  Want to print coupons?  Go to my printable coupon page, and print/coupon your sweet heart out!  Have you taken advantage of the  samples and free stuff I have to offer?  Did you know I have a comprehensive Daily Deal page?  Not sure what to cook for dinner -- check out my recipe page!  I know this may sound a bit selfish, but it is a small way to show your support.  Also, I've been actively making more and more posts about frugal parenting -- check 'em out!

5) Share and share alike.  Also, I've been actively making more and more posts about frugal parenting -- check 'em out!  Then "pin", retweet, and/or "share" on Facebook.


Just to be clear, I am -by no means- able to retire on my affiliate programs.  (In fact, since I started signing up with affiliate programs in October 2010, I've yet to make the minimum amount to even get a check sent out!)  It simply allows me a small, small financial reward for creating and (trying to) maintain Atlanta's Frugal Mom.


Again, thank you all for being a part of Atlanta's Frugal Mom.  Now go follow, speak your mind, click, and support!  ;o)

Keep on saving!  :o)

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of making another trip to Ross Dress for Less, just in time to see all their back to school gear! Boy, was I blown away -- from organization and storage (things my nerdy-side craves!);  kitchen items (knife set w/kitchen shears $7.99), laundry ($11.99 for an iron and $5.99 for a collapsible ironing board), and  other household items -- perfect for the dorm room;  to outfits at unbeatable prices! Additionally, I saw some great baby items, at amazing prices, too!  Breathable crib bumper ($9.99) and MANY, MANY, MANY name brand, stylish diaper bags ($12.99) (...cute character shirts for the preschool crowd, too!)

Gift Guide for Toys to Keep Kids Moving

Before I dive in to great toys and activities to keep kids moving, a disclosure: portions of this post are sponsored.  I’ve received a form of compensation in exchange for featuring some of the items in this post; however all opinions, experiences, and bad puns are 100% my own. With kids’ birthdays sneaking up on you, and Christmas being a close -um- nine months away, it’s time to start pondering gift ideas for the kiddos in your life.  If you’re like me, you may be looking for toys and activities that promote getting active, rather than passively sitting in front of a screen.  While I’ve already mentioned games and activities for preschoolers, these toys are geared more for an older crowd, say ages 6 – 106.  😉 Here are some great gifts to keep kids moving, both indoors and outdoors: (Laser) Tag! You’re It!   My kids, particularly my son, enjoy a good game of Laser Tag, and have really dug the Laser X we got for Christmas last year.  We have recently added a few more L...
