Saturday Shopping Deals: September 5, 2009

Hey guys – there are some great deals going on for Labor Day! However, don’t forget the reason we celebrate; if you are blessed enough to be with your family and have some time off this weekend, make sure you take time to celebrate together!

Also, as much as I love sharing deals with everyone, this weekly post is a BIG time consumer and I’m not sure it helps people all that much.

Free Disney for Kariss’ Birthday!

Forgive me from taking a break from my normal “Saturday Shopping Deals” post today – we had a wildly successful and wonderful Ariel birthday party for my little girl who will turn 5 tomorrow! It was so great to be able to reconnect with family and friends in Florida, so I appreciate your understanding as I take some time away from the computer. We’ll be celebrating her actual birthday tomorrow at DISNEY (remember, it’s FREE on your birthday this year). So the posts will be light tomorrow as well.

In the meantime, if you didn’t think you could afford a family vacation this year, check out my DISNEY page and be sure to tune in to News Channel 5’s Talk of the Town on Tuesday, August 4th at 11am CST (Nashville) for my “Disney on a Dime” segment!
