Holiday Market by Marion Open Air Market - Dec 1st & 8th

The Open Air Market group from Marion's downtown (which started up this past summer & went all summer & fall long on Saturday mornings)  is putting on a Holiday Market on Dec 1st & 8th from 9am - 4pm at THE FOUNDRY, which is a building across the street from the First United Methodist Church in downtown Marion (on the corner of Adams & 7th).

The Open Air Market is one of my new favorite things in Marion - a group of vendors who are all local & who make homemade & natural goods.  These are a create bunch who are very talented, and it is a lot of fun to see the creative, wonderful, and delicious things they make.  Don't miss it!

ING Direct - Earn $125 for Opening a Checking Account or $10 for Opening a Kid's Savings Account! NO FEES!

ING Direct is having a GREAT promo over this weekend that ends tonight (Sun night 11/25).  If you open an Orange Checking account with them & make 10 purchases over the next 45 days, you get $125 deposited into your account.  

 

I have an ING account (both savings & checking), and highly recommend them.  I use these as my savings account, and also my back-up checking, where I try to stash money away that isn't in my regular monthly "pay bills" checking account (for items I don't pay monthly, but need to stash money away so I have the money for them when I pay an annual or semi-annual premium).  I opened the Orange Checking when one of these promos was running, and I encourage you to do the same!  It really is as easy/straight forward as advertised!  

 

They also have a promo $10 for opening a kids account!  No fees for opening!  Do it today!  I just sent up an account for each of my kids - you can open with a minimum of $1, and they will add the $10 into your kiddos account.  Interest rate on the account is %.75.  I figure this will be a good way to start talking to my kids about saving money, and as we check on our account we can watch their accounts GROW with interest. There is no "catch" to this, so set up an account for your kiddos today!

Kiddo Tags - 1/2 off thru Plum District Sale

Have you heard of Kiddo Tags?  I ordered my first batch about a year ago for my boys, and am just about out, so I was excited to see this deal from Plum District.  Right now, you get $40 of credit toward Kiddo Tags for only $20, and when you use your $40 toward purchasing your Kiddo Tags, shipping is only $.99/order.  I've done a set of tags for each of my kids in the past, putting a soccer ball, my kid's name, and my phone number on one tag and a baseball, my other kid's name, and my phone number on the other.  I label everything with these - their coats, backpacks, sippy cups, water bottles, lunch boxes, etc.  you name it, and I've labeled it.  It is great for things that leave out house, and also for things I want to keep separate so my kids know whose is whose (they love that!).  These go through the dishwasher no problem - they are amazing.  They also have iron on labels for inside of clothes.

Locally Made Teas - Tasting Event Nov 10th

There is a tea-tasting event this weekend by a local tea maker who uses local organic ingredients.  If you haven't tried these teas, you are missing out.  I've become slightly addicted to them over the summer & fall.  Locally made loose-leaf teas - I've liked all the ones I've tried, but the Apple-Pie Spice is my favorite!
