Perm

I was just wondering if anyone knew someone or somewhere where I could take Kayla to get her hair permed? She wants a light wave in her hair and I figure why not maybe it will help her start doing her hair on her own. I just don't know if the salon will do one on someone her age.If anyone knows I would really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Laura

Shelf Reliance Giveaway

One of my favorite products is being given away! I have one of their units and absolutely love it! I'd love for me or one of our Marana Moms to win this one! I posted about the great special that Shelf Reliance was offering at the beginning of June! Click here to see the post.

We'll here's your chance to win one of their Harvest 72″ units! They are giving one away from their blog. I ordered one in June, but I could always use another one! Click here for details on how to enter their giveaway.


On June 4th, I went to Walmart at Cortaro and I-10. They have the large Harvest unit from Shelf Reliance there for $299! It holds almost 500 cans! It's original price is $ 459.99. They were located at the T in the aisles between the little girl clothes and furniture and the movie section.

Dimensions
Height: 72"
Width: 36.5"
Depth: 24.5"
Capacity: Up to 600 cans

My good friend Hallie informed me that you can order it through Costco.com for $299.99 and that includes the shipping as well!

They also just posted the following deal on their blog!

"I just wanted to take a quick second to let everyone know about a great deal that’s going on right now at shelfreliance.com. Our Harvest 72″ food rotation system (yes, the same model we’re giving away) is currently available at it’s regular price of $459.99. However, from now until this Saturday (June 20th), everyone who purchases a Harvest 72″ (or a Harvest 72″ #10) will also receive a Pantry 39″ free of charge. This is a great way to cut down on costs by getting two great food rotation systems at once, and it also qualifies for free shipping (as with all orders over $199). The Pantry will be added to your order once it has been processed. The Pantry 39″ will not appear in your shopping cart, so don’t worry. Just use this coupon code at checkout: FRSPAN"

Who needs a good excuse to get a Frosty?

Father’s Day Frosty Weekend
Wendy’s restaurants will be donating 50 cents for every Frosty product purchased over the Father’s Day weekend (June 20-21) to the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption’s initiatives. Customers can also stop by Wendy’s and donate by purchasing a Frosty pin-up for $1 each.

This year, Wendy’s started a new tradition for Father’s Day. Kids can go to FrostyCard.com to create a free custom Father’s Day eCard and Wendy’s will donate an additional 25¢ to the Foundation for every Frosty Card sent. Kids choose from a variety of scenes and objects, from sandcastles on the beach to baseball in the backyard, or they can give Dad a taste of Hollywood by selecting a pre-designed card created by a celebrity.

Thank you to the many folks across the nation for buying a frosty and helping children who wait for adoption. Last year’s efforts raised more than $1.5 million!

In Search of: Co-sleeper/Bassinet

Hi Everyone,
I am looking for something smaller than a port-a crib for my 9 month old to sleep in a tight spot on a trip (it will only be for a week). If anyone has something like that and is willing to let me borrow it, I would be very grateful. I am completely willing to pay a rental fee. It will be well taken care of.
Thanks,
Tara Horsley

Save Marana Playroom for our Kids!

Hello!

Last week I was notified that my 4 year old had made it into the Marana Parks & Rec. Preschool Program. When I asked if he would be automatically enrolled for the 2nd semester or Spring session, I was informed that the program is being cancelled and will be ending in December. I couldn't believe it! With parents lined up in the middle of the night, and lottery processes to get your child enrolled, it seems to me that the program is highly valued! Marana Parks & Recreation has stated some reasons that the program is being cancelled ( community needs & finances), and while they may be valid concerns, I don't beleive that they warrant doing away with the preschool program. There is a council meeting next week on the 9th, and it is the perfect opportunity to voice concerns. Please pass this email on to anyone who might be interested or affected by this decision. I am trying to gather a group together to work on a "respectful opposition" to Marana Parks & Rec's decision and to attend a council meeting together to share our concerns, and to make suggestions. I really feel that if we act quickly, we can turn this thing around! I apologize if I have already contacted you, I am just trying to get the word out as quickly as I can! Feel free to call me at 323-6312 or 878-6518, or email me back at gandkallen2003@yahoo.com. Email is a great way for us to communicate and to reach as many people as we can!

Thank you!
Kelly Allen
