Your kids may be heading back to school soon, but for some of you, the summer fun is still going.  If you’re still taking advantage of all that summer has to offer, why not shop online for the gear, toys, and clothing you need while earning eBoxtops  for your school?

Box Tops For Education Marketplace online has over 300 participating retailers, with stores you will recognize, such as Target, Toys ‘R Us, Wal-Mart, and Macy’s, and specialty shops like Build-A Bear Workshop, Oriental Trading Company, and Young Explorers.  Whatever you’re looking for, chances are you will find just what you need at any of these online stores.  Earning for your school is easy.  Just sign up to designate a school to automatically receive eBoxTops as part of your online shopping experience.

This summer, I was sent a gift card from BTFE to use at the BTFE Marketplace to see just how easy it was to shop and earn for my son’s school.  Since I needed a new pair of shoes, I chose Designer Shoe Warehouse to make my purchase.  I just clicked on the store’s icon, purchased my shoes, and then felt great knowing my purchase was helping out my son’s school.  It really was that simple!  This is a fabulous way for anyone (parents, grandparents, friends, and extended family) to help out a school.  My son’s school has used their BTFE funds in the past to purchase P.E.  and playground equipment.

I am completely satisfied with my experience using the BTFE Marketplace online and I encourage you to check it out if you shop online often and are looking for a way to give back.

BTFE sent me a gift card to use in exchange for blogging about my experience using BTFE Marketplace.  All opinions are my own.

I love doing laundry, believe it or not, but I hate dealing with those tough stains that won’t come out no matter how hard I work to remove them.  I can’t tell you how many school uniform shirts of my son’s I have had to replace because of not being able to remove a stain from them.  Ditto for many of my nice work shirts.  It’s very frustrating and can get very expensive.  Naturally, I try many products and I thought I had just about settled on my current brand, even though it has let me down a couple of times.  That’s not exactly complete confidence in a product, though.

When given the opportunity to try Resolve Pre Treat Laundry Stain Remover, I figured it couldn’t hurt.  I had the perfect stain to try it out on and a piece of clothing that I wasn’t going to be upset over losing if it didn’t work.  A few days before, I had dropped barbecue baked beans down the front of my blue shirt.

I had pretty much resigned myself to the fact that this shirt was forever ruined.  That’s a really tough stain.  However, after treating the shirt with Resolve and following a couple of laundry tips, look at the difference:

And that was BEFORE the shirt was even washed!
