We received an email from a reader about spreading Mickayla’s story and this is just too sweet not to share.

“We’re searching for avenues to help spread Mickayla’s story, and I know you have helped ME learn a lot about the world of freebies, so I know you can reach a ton of people. PLEASE help Mickayla raise a large army of supporters! If you could like her page and then share it, it would mean the world to us all. Feel free to leave an encouraging message with where you are from too if you would like because she is trying to keep track of where her prayers are coming from on a map!!!  She is an amazing little girl battling Ewing Sarcoma and it’s a beast. www.facebook.com/prayformickayla 
Such a strong kid with a huge heart. Thank you so much!!!!”

So if you are willing to pray for Mickayla, head over and  “like” this page, then send her a message letting her know where you are praying for her from!

Here is an adorable proposal story sure to make any true freebie lover gush!  This Hip 2 Save reader, and coupon enthusiast, got her perfect proposal!

 

This past Friday I got home from work and was talking to my boyfriend as I was going through our mail. I was really excited because I got 3 months of the Whole Living Magazine I just signed up for using my Recyclebank points (I am in LOVE with getting all my magazines through Recyclebank!) Sticking out of the top was an advertisement with a special offer. The print and color was really cute so I pulled it out to see what type of product it was for. As I was looking at it I was like, “HEY, that’s me…a picture of me” and then thought “these photo companies are getting really high-tech” (assuming they sent me an ad to entice me to order by using an image on file from one of my previous coupon deals).

However, it wasn’t for a free photo deal, it was for a Free Husband! My super special guy figured out the perfect way to propose to this couponer! He even included coupon terms and a UPC code (the 08132006 portion is our anniversary). He works at a printing company, so a coworker helped him make this for me, which makes it super thoughtful, sweet, special and FREE!!! I feel like the internet and all these YouTube proposals put a lot of pressure on guys to do something grandiose and expensive, so I just wanted to show that something thoughtful and FREE could stack up just as well :)

It’s been awhile since I did a happy sample and this one melted my heart! If this amazing story doesn’t bring a smile to your face, I don’t know what will!! Of course I’m crying while I watch it and wondering if we should get a dog now.. lol  (Thanks Good News Network!)

“A recently adopted dog saved a nine-month old infant who had stopped breathing last Sunday. The dog, named Duke, jumped into bed to wake them after sensing the daughter not breathing in her crib. A nice story for October, which is National Adopt a Shelter-Dog Month.”

I realized I haven’t done a free smiles post in forever!! Makenna showed me this song yesterday and I just fell in love with it!  Eric (my cutest hubby EVER) had JUST installed our new car seat in the “back seat” the night before she showed me this. So I got a little emotional just thinking about my soon-to-be back seat buddy!! :)

I hope this songs puts a smile on your face and you share it with those you love to put a smile on their face as well! I’d love to hear about any fun “ridin’ in the back seat” stories you have with your kids as well!

 

This super cute quote was posted on our Facebook page by reader, Andrea Potrzebowski! It made me smile too big to not pass along for everyone to see! :)

Ok even though this made me gag a little,
I had to share it for the free smile of the week!  
Ha ha oooooh.. seriously, poor Dad!

 

I saw both of these stories today and I just felt compelled to share them with everybody as the Free Smiles for the week!  Feel free to share and pass along however you’d like! (Thanks Good News Network & NBC News!)

I’m going to have to agree with this marine!  :)  This story is definitely proof that good things happen to good people!  We may not all win $3 million, but a saying I LOVE is… “Happiness is not having what you want, but wanting what you have!”

Marine Cpl. Alexander Degenhardt credits good karma for hitting a nearly $3 million jackpot in the Las Vegas Bellagio casino. Only days before winning the second highest amount ever paid for the slot machine, he learned he was accepted as a bone marrow donor to an anonymous patient.  (Las Vegas Sun)

Here is a quote I read today that made me feel overwhelming joy for my marriage and my husband!  So I wanted to pass it along as a “Free Smile” for anyone else who would like!

“I am satisfied that happiness in marriage is not so much a matter of romance as it is an anxious concern for the comfort and well-being of one’s companion. Any man who will make his wife’s comfort his first concern will stay in love with her throughout their lives and through the eternity yet to come”-Gordon B. Hinckley

This was just too cute not to pass along to everyone who is a couponer!  Thanks Surviving the stores!
