The banks and post office are closed today in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, but that didn’t stop me from making a Mailbox Monday video – only took me three attempts!

Today is also my Grandma Sutter’s birthday. She doesn’t have a computer, so won’t hear my shout-out to her. Luckily all of my free address labels come in handy when I send her a birthday card via snail mail.

Featured Magazine: Parenting Magazine only $4.97/yr from Amazon (Cover Price $40.23). This is the lowest price I’ve ever seen on this magazine!

I not only had a great time in Vegas for Affiliate Summit last week, but I also scored some great freebies included a uber-soft stuffed bear from ShareASale (my prom pic made the invitation of their 80’s party) and tons of tshirts to wear for my Free Shirt Friday column, including an awesome bowling shirt from BowlingShirt.com!

Also, while in Vegas, I got to tour the Zappos.com headquarters!  Being the President of Shoeaholics Anonymous, this was a real treat! I came away with an “I am royalty at Zappos” crown and a book that Tony, the CEO recommends: Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap… and Others Don’t by Jim Collins (any relation to Shawn Collins?) and a fun time to remember.

Now, it’s my turn to give away some free stuff to you!

Trivia of the day: Do you know what a Brannok Device is?  Upon googling for the exact definition of this shoe size measuring instrument, I noticed that Zappos spelled the name wrong on the inside of their crowns – It should be BrannoCk Device!

Have a good week!!

Mamma Mia!

Just got back from a whirlwind weekend in New York City (one of my favorite cities to visit). Finally got to see the Broadway show Mamma Mia, a musical based on the songs of ABBA. Loved it! I’m gonna buy the Mamma Mia Soundtrack and then see the movie rendition when it’s out on DVD to compare the two.

I was in NYC to attend the Affiliate Social Media Summit where I learned some new tricks to hopefully make my videos and blogs better!  My other girl crush (besides iJustine) is Melissa Salas from Buy.tv, and she was there!  Click here to see Melissa catching us up on the hottest Top 10 in Books! Looks like I’ll have some more books to review!
