This Giveaway has Ended--Wanchai Ferry Frozen Entree Gift Pack -- Review and Giveaway + Save with a Printable Coupon!
Here’s another giveaway, MomsWhoSave readers, and this is one that will make your life a little easier!
I want to introduce you to Wanchai Ferry frozen entrees. I received their beef and broccoli dinner recently--it even comes with rice, by the way. It’s a complete “heat and eat” Asian style dinner that is ready in under 15 minutes, so it’s super quick and easy to prepare!
My family loved this one, and there are several other varieties to choose from too, including Orange Chicken, Shrimp Lo Mein, Spicy Garlic Chicken and Sweet & Sour Chicken, and they’re all MSG-free.
With summer here, don’t spend your time cooking! Try one (or more) of Wanchai Ferry’s Asian dinner entrees. Here’s a coupon for $1.60 off your next purchase!
You can also win a free Wanchai Ferry dinner from MyBlogSpark and Wanchai Ferry, along with this very cool tea set (it even includes the green tea).

DIY Photo Frame Craft Project from Rene Syler – You Will Love It!
Today I want to share a craft project with you. It’s inexpensive to make, the end result looks high-end, and you can make this with your kids. This idea comes from someone you might not automatically think of as frugal or doing craft projects, but you’d be wrong.
I’m talking about Rene Syler. You probably know her best from CBS’ The Early Show. Well, she is also an author (Good Enough Mother: The Perfectly Imperfect Book of Parenting), founder of the popular blog Good Enough Mother, an ambassador for Susan G. Komen for the Cure, commentator on CNN and other television shows, and most importantly a hands-on mom.
Rene is also an active Facebook user and one of my Facebook friends, and when I saw her post about this craft, I knew I had to share it.
When she was looking for teacher gifts at the end of this school year, she found some photo frames she loved in an expensive boutique. The problem was they were $50 each. Rene couldn’t justify spending that much, so she did what a sensible mom does, and made her own—well, Rene’s kids made them with some help when it came to the hot glue gun. The total amount she spent to make three frames was less than buying just one boutique shop frame.
This is the end result (I’m showing you my favorite one). Rene and her kids actually made three completely different styles of frames. Here’s the link to Rene Syler’s website, Good Enough Mother where you can read her step-by-step instructions and see exactly which products she used.
You’ll notice there’s a note inside the frame. Each child wrote a short letter to their teacher saying “thank you” for everything they’d done for them during the school year. I think that was a thoughtful touch, and I’m sure one that the teachers appreciated.
I only wish Rene’s kids hadn’t gotten out of school so late! My kids have been out for at least ten days, so I missed out on being able to do this project for my kids’ teacher gifts this year. I will keep this in mind for next year though or may-be Christmas.
This would also be a good summertime craft project for a rainy day.
Thanks Rene for allowing me to share this one!

Your Kids Can Bowl FREE Every Day This Summer!
I posted previously about free summer movies, free museum days, and now here’s another great free activity to keep the kids busy this summer—bowling!
Brunswick is offering free bowing every day this summer for kids 12 and under! Just sign up here and you’ll receive your free bowling pass. You can also include your child’s birth month and year to get two free games on their birthday. By the way, this is available in the U.S. and Canada.
AMF Bowling Centers are also offering free bowling for kids in the U.S. and Canada this summer, and you can find details on their website here. This program seems to work a little bit differently, as AMF is offering a very low-cost family pass so that parents can bowl with their children at a very reduced cost.
