SkinMD Giveaway!

As the weather is getting warmer, I'm always looking for a lotion that moisturizes and protects my skin. SkinMD sent me a sample of their Natural Sheilding Lotion to try out. I have to say that I was pleasantly suprised. After using the lotion for about 3 weeks, I noticed a difference in the softness of my skin. It doesn't leave a greasy residue, instead it soaks in very well and I don't even notice that I put on lotion. Plus, I have the added benefit of not having to put on sunscreen on top of lotion. Having 2 kids, it's not always easy to remember to do simple things like put on lotion, but this is so easy since it's all in one!
Having worked in Dermatology in the past, I realize how important it is to protect your skin at a very early age and wearing a daily moisturizer with sunscreen not only revitalizes your skin, but protects it from UV rays. If you haven't tried it already, you should definitely get SkinMD for yourself. It's very reasonably priced. You can also check out their Facebook page and tell them Stretching Your Budget sent you!

As a reader, one of you will have the chance to receive a FREE Full-Size bottle of SkinMD Natural Shielding Lotion to try out for yourself!!!

Dream Dinners was founded in 2002 by 2 moms, Tina Kuna and Stephanie Allen, who understand that managing families, work, and dinner can sometimes be challenging! With that in mind, they started Dream Dinners which soon became a $300 million meal assembly industry.

• Healthier Eating - They use low-fat options whenever possible and most dishes are under 340 calories per serving!

By using Dream Dinners, you can spend more time with your family and less time cooking and cleaning up!
The process if fairly simple to do:
1. Sign Up Online at http://www.dreamdinners.com/
2. Select a time and place that works best for you to go and assemble your dinners
3. Place your order. They have a monthly menu that ranges from chicken, steaks, pasta, and more. You can order by dish or by 3 or 6-serving sizes.

Month of Mom Giveaway: Book, "The Naked Mom"

This contest is now CLOSED!! Thank you to all who entered!

May is here and that means Mother's Day is just around the corner! Stretching Your Budget will have tons of giveaways all through the month! So, if you're a mom, grandma, aunt, sister, or friend of someone who is a mom, then enter to win! Someone has to win, so why not you?

The first giveaway of the month: A book titled "The Naked Mom" by Brooke Burke (Host of Dancing With the Stars).

In this book, Brooke shares her story of being a mom. She shares candidly about all the "real" truths about being a mom and what we really go through! This book, has shares what worked for her and what didn't! Brooke shares about her time on Dancing With the Stars and her life with 4 children.

“The Naked Mom is motherhood, revealed. It’s not about being right or wrong. It’s about being authentic. When you’re raising four children, running a household, tending a relationship, building a multimillion-dollar business, and pursuing a television career, there’s no room for pretense or posturing. I always knew I would be a mother, but I never imagined I would have this many children this fast, or that our lives would be full of changes and new challenges every day. But I was raised to take chances, to be strong, and to find my own way. When I think about myself as a mother, I suppose that’s just what I’ve done. I don’t believe in A-to-Z guides that spell out the “right” way to raise your children, or be a wife, or realize your personal goals. There’s always going to be someone out there wanting to tell you exactly how to do it—that opinionated friend who thinks her way is the only way, another mother who’s doing something better than you are.”
