TGIFriday's Coupon

I'll admit it: I love to eat out. No mess to clean up, and somehow even my salads taste better than if I made it at home. I love coupons for eating out. Restaurant.com is a great resource. I also join my fave restaurant's email lists and get coupons sent to me. Like this one from TGIFriday's:

I love the Sesame Chicken strips appetizer! I am all over this deal!

Gabriela Walker Photography

Treasure Valley peeps: If you need a photographer you have to visit Gaby Walker. She. Is. Amazing. I love her contemporary-artsy style. She kept my baby asleep the whole shoot with her magic touch and managed to get some great pictures of my daughter who is going through a cheesy smile phase.

Included in her photo sessions is a CD with the pics including editing of your 15 or so favorite so you can print however many you want. She also gives you a signed release with the CD so you can go to the store and not have any problems. If you need engagement pics, family pics, or just pics of the kiddos give Gaby a call at 860-1981. She is very popular so plan ahead. Tell her Idaho Deal Divas sent you. Since you get a CD you could easily use your photos for Christmas cards. I know you won't be disappointed. You can see some of the photos from our session with here HERE.

She's on Facebook too! Search: Gabriela Walker Photography or click HERE.

Shabby Apple (Cutest dresses ever) $100 Gift Certificate for $40

Summer

It's summer and it finally feels like it to me. What are you doing for fun? We just got back from a family reunion. Have you been to see a FREE movie? Are you trying to keep cool at the pool? I have been taking classes over the summer semester (I know, what was I thinking!) so we haven't done many of the fun things I would like to do. If you have kids, remember that there will always be another deal. For me, I would rather use my time right now making memories with my kids. Today we are going to have a picnic at the park. We are planning on going to Roaring Springs for their PM Plunge one Thursday (only $12 admission after 4 on Thursdays). I'm not saying I won't be deal shopping at all, just that my focus right now is on having fun and I hope you are too. Speaking of kids, we visited an amazing local photographer and I will post some pictures from her later.
