Web Site of the Week #6: Posie Gets Cozy

I love Posie Gets Cozy simply because it makes my smile. It’s a blog about the absolutely adorable life of Alicia Paulson, who lives in Portland with her hubby Andy and cute dog Clover. She is very crafty, and loves to share her sewing, crocheting, and other creative projects. Her ideas inspire me, and I love the images she shares of her cute home and town. She is clearly a happy person, and her blog is always upbeat and adorable.

Web Site of the Week #5: All Recipes

I’ve been visiting allrecipes.com for years, and I seriously don’t know what I’d do without it. This Web site features recipes that anyone can submit. The best part is that anyone can then review the recipes. This makes it easy to select recipes, because you can weed out the recipes with less than stellar reviews, and then alter the recipes you choose by making the changes reviewers suggest. The site has a lot of advanced search options, including an ingredient search, so you can search for recipes based on the food you have on hand. I have found some amazing recipes on this site, and have listed my favorites (in no particular order) below:
-Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Soup
-World's Best Lasagna
-Chicken Broccoli Braid
-Make Ahead Lunch Wraps
-Rainbow Pasta Salad (I add a lot of veggies to this)
-Cheese Ball (I make it with bacon instead of pecans)

Web Site of the Week #4: Current Codes

When I’m about to buy anything online, I always go to currentcodes.com before checking out. This fantastic Web site provides coupon codes for hundreds of online stores. You search for the merchant you’re buying from, and there will often be a coupon for a percentage off your purchase, or even free shipping. I love this Web site because I figure that if I’m going to make a purchase anyway, I might as well see if I can save a little extra money while I’m at it. If you don’t find a code on this Web site, you can go to another coupon code Web site, such as retailmenot.com. That Web site also provides coupon codes, but anyone can submit them, so sometimes they don’t work. I prefer currentcodes.com because it’s easy to search, and the codes are always up to date.

In case you don’t know how to use coupon codes, when you’re checking out from an online store, look for the little “coupon code” or “code” box that’s most often on the payment info page. Enter the code and the discount will be reflected in the final price.

Web Site of the Week #3: Family Fun

I visit familyfun.com when I’m looking for cute and inventive craft ideas. It has adorable ideas for fun things you can do with the whole family. They feature suggestions for every season and holiday, and I’m always amazed by how simple and affordable their ideas are. The site provides more than just craft ideas, too. They have party tips, recipes, game ideas and travel suggestions. If you’re looking for fun, easy and creative ideas for things your family can do together, you’ll love this Web site.
