The difference is, when you print and use them from Mypoints, You get points for using the coupons!!! How great is that They are paying me to save money.

Another good site is BeRuby.com! BeRuby pays you for shopping, searching, and fro going to the websites that you use all the time like Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Photobucket, Myspace, EMusic, and tons more!

Hey guys! As you can see A Bookish Mom is changing. God kept changing my direction so I am changing to reflect that.

I hope you love this awesome design from Jessica at the frilly coconut! I adore it. She is also installing a new one on my twitter.

Give me a few days to get it up and running and we'll see how this goes.

My Favorite Hero is Making a Come back...

In A big Way!

Rainbow Brite is turning the big 25 this year. Along with this major milestone in life she also got a makeover. Rainbow Brite and her friends are back to save Rainbow Land from some very vicious foes! She will also have fun games kids can play along to help her keep Rainbow Land safe!

As a Child I loved Rainbow Brite (Still Do). I had all of the dolls and never missed the cartoons! She was such an amazing character. I am so glad that they are bringing her back for my daughters to grow up with! With important lessons about friendship and helping others, Rainbow Brite is sure to captivate girls everywhere while helping them grow.

BSM Media sent a great CD pack to me for the Bookish Kids to try out. Everyone of my girls loved The fun games and new episodes drew them in quickly. All 4 girls can completely sing the new theme song (much to my son's chagrin)!

I honestly love the new look and feel of Rainbow Brite. I am so excited to have an Icon that I grew up with back to share with my girls. There will be fun nights ahead full of pop corn and movies!

Be sure to keep an eye ouy for all of the cool dolls!
