Scholastic's Online Guide Helps You Find the Perfect Summer Camp for Your Child
As we start the summer, I wanted to share a terrific resource with all of you parents.

You can use search criteria like your child's age, your location, your child's interests, price, and you can even look for special needs camps. (Find these special options under "advanced search.") I have never seen such a comprehensive camp guide!

Even though this website is full of great information, Scholastic Parent & Child magazine also suggests that if possible, you talk to the camp director and/or visit the camp in person before signing up.
If finances are an issue, don't be afraid to ask if scholarships or financial aid is available. If you're considering a day camp, you should check with your employer to see if your dependent care flexible spending account dollars can be spent on the camp fees. Check out fsafeds.com for more information.
Be sure to check out this great search tool as you look for camps this year. You may find some exciting new adventures for your child!

This Giveaway has Ended--Emitations Jewelry Review, an Exclusive Coupon Code, and Earrings Giveaway
Hey MomsWhoSave readers, I have a fun new review and giveaway for you!
I'd like to introduce you to a terrific jewelry company called Emitations. They carry everything from bold and glamorous special occasion pieces to everyday necklaces, rings, and earrings you'll find yourself reaching for again and again. Their jewelry has been featured in numerous magazines like Oprah, Self, Glamour, Working Mother, and many, many others.
Emitations also offers jewelry inspired by what you've seen celebrities wearing. You can buy lots of items either "inspired by" popular pieces or get replicas of items seen in the movies or worn by stars in real life.
Emitations was nice enough to send me the "Trista" ring (pictured here) to review, and I am happy to tell you that this ring is not only beautiful, the quality is excellent. This particular ring's band is delicate, but not light or "flimsy" at all. The canary-colored stone is a nice size and color too. I was happily surprised at the quality and style of this ring when I opened the box. This is definitely jewelry that you will feel confident wearing alongside your real gemstones or diamonds.
Visit Emitations, and check out their huge assortment of jewelry for every possible taste! Plus, if you decide to order something from the site, you can take $2.99 off anything you choose with this exclusive coupon code: AFFMOMS --this code will be good through June 11th.

This Giveaway has Ended--Yoplait Simply Go-Gurt Gift Pack Review and Giveaway + Print a Coupon!
I have a new giveaway for all of you on-the-go families.
To be totally honest, I had my reservations about the nutritional value of Go-Gurt, before I learned about it. I incorrectly assumed that it was full of artificial colors and flavors. I am making an effort to reduce these wherever I can in my children's diets. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Yoplait Simply Go-Gurt has no artificial colors or flavors and no high fructose corn syrup. I am also trying to cut that out as much as I possibly can.
Go-Gurt is a great "on-the-go" snack and it's perfect for school lunches too! To make it even better, how about a $1.10 coupon? Click below to print yours (sorry, the free coupons are already spoken for). You can also "weigh in" to see what people are saying about Simply Go-Gurt, and get snack ideas.If you'd like to win the gift pack, including a coupon for free Simpy Go-Gurt*, here's how:
1. Comment below with a "good-for-you" snack that your child loves! Be sure to leave your email address, so I can reach you if you're the winner of the giveaway.
