Earlier today I shared on Facebook that we were on track to reach 1,000,000 visitors since Cha-Ching on a Shoestring was introduced to the world in 2009.

Well, would you look at that?!  We did it!!

(I was out running errands when we hit the actual 1,000,000 mark, so thanks to the additional 401 of you that helped us out. :))

You may not get all giddy about this fact like I do, but I want you to know that I value each and every visit and return visit from every single one of YOU!   I could never have imagined how far this blog was going to come when she was just a little twinkle in my eye.  When we first began I was tickled pink when I saw that 10 or 20 of you had stopped by for a visit…but 1,000,000 visits?

I am officially giddy.

That’s why I want to celebrate!!!  I have a $40 Target.com gift card to give away to one lucky reader!

I’m going to make it super simple for you all to enter to win.  Here’s how to enter:

I have sent you an email with details on how to claim your prize, Lucci.

My boys love their yogurt.  We eat it daily in this household, which is why I am a fan of Yoplait Kids’ Yogurt.  I like the fact that it contains 25% less sugar than the leading kids’ yogurt, and has no high fructose corn syrup, artificial colors, flavors or sweeteners.

My boys may not understand my concerns over high fructose corn syrup and artificial flavors, but they sure appreciate the fact that their yogurt is yummy!

They also were thrilled when we received a package in the mail filled with all sorts of goodies.  (What kid doesn’t love mail with their name on it?!) And this is why I am thrilled to share this super fun giveaway with YOU!

Life is busy.

Let’s face it.  The amount of calcium we consume may not be at the top of our list of ‘things-to-do’. But as we all know, getting enough calcium is important.

That’s why I’m excited to share that Yoplait wants to help us out by offering us all a FREE cup of Yoplait yogurt.  If you haven’t yet, be sure to visit Yoplait on Facebook to sign up for your free cup and make a personal commitment to meeting your calcium needs each day.  With two times the amount of calcium of the leading yogurt, that’s 50 percent of the Daily Value in one convenient 6-ounce cup.

Plus you can print a high value $0.75/4 Yoplait Yogurt Cups coupon here. (The coupon does state ‘Do Not Double’ but some stores will anyway.
