Sponsored Post: Puppies vs. Babies Contest

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Puppies vs. Babies for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Okay, I thought this was sort of funny. We all know animal lovers think their pets are the cutest, and we all know parents think their children are the cutest -- but who really IS the cutest? Now we can find out!

From now until November 23rd you can vote in the Puppies vs. Babies online contest. The winning puppy or baby will get $5000!

I'm not a huge animal person, so although I do think some puppies are cute, I'm definitely voting for one of the babies! I mean, come on. Part of what makes babies so cute is that they interact with you and learn to communicate as they grow. You eventually get to hear what's going on inside that cute little brain! Puppies, unfortunately, not so much.

So who are you going to vote for in the Puppies vs. Babies contest?

25 Shutterfly Holiday Photo Cards Giveaway! {3 Winners!}

It's that time of year again! The time of year when we take a family photo to see how we've grown and mail it out to all our friends and family. I always look forward to this time of year. Why? Well I love having a new family photo to hang on my wall, and I also love picking out our Christmas cards to send.

Shutterfly make it so easy with their HUGE selection of templates and designs. I love that they have fresh new cards every year that are hip and fun. I could spend hours browsing through them!

Shutterfly also does amazing photo books, greeting cards and birth announcements (...I'm going to be needing these here soon!). They have everything you need to get you through the holidays and more.

I narrowed down my favorite card for this year to these two designs. I love that one is modern and forward and the other is very traditional. I also love that Shutterfly allows you to make folded cards or cards with wording on the back so you can give your friends a real update on what's happening in your lives. Sometimes one picture just isn't enough! With baby brother on the way this year, we're definitely going to be writing a little bit about our lives on the back of our card this year.

Remember that Walmart will match any competitor's prices, no questions asked. All you need is a written list just like this!

Also remember to check your mailers before you go. A few weeks ago there were some differences between the Grocery Smarts List and my fliers! It's possible they vary slightly by region.
