Win a 4 Pack of Fandango Movie Tickets! {Giveaway}

Give the gift of movies!
So excited about sharing this giveaway with you . . . just wish it was one I could win.

Our family LOVES going to the movies, but it’s expensive. It can easily cost close to $40 just to buy the tickets and that doesn’t include any drinks or popcorn.

Plum District DallasPlum District brings you great deals all the time – in fact, right now they have a 30 minute massage for $20. The best part is that they have national, online deals as well as local deals. The easiest way to make sure you are getting information on both deals is to not just register for an account at Plum District, but to also like Plum District on Facebook, AND like Plum District Dallas as well.

Because Plum District is all about helping you save money and they want to motivate you to go sign up for an account at Plum District right now, they are offering one of the MelissaStuff readers a 4 pack of tickets from Fandango!

With four tickets, you can take your family or you could go on two different dates . . . or you could double with a couple you enjoy being with and treat them. There are some incredible movies out right now. If you haven’t seen The Help, I think everyone should. It is very possibly my favorite movie, ever. And there are several kids movies coming out, so there are lots of options to choose from.

Extravagantly . . . A Personal Post

Image
There haven't been many personal posts from me in quite some time. I find I can't schedule them; I simply have to wait until it comes pouring from my emotions through my brain and into my fingertips.

Apparently today, I have something to say.

I've been reading a really challenging book with an unusual title. Brace yourself - it'sGod and Boobs by Angie Schuller-Wyatt. Yep, Schuller, as in Robert Schuller of the Crystal Cathedral. It's written by his granddaughter. I was a little wary when I received a copy to review. Honestly I was afraid it was going to be irreverent at best and unbiblical at worst. But I haven't found that to be true. In fact, I've been very surprised to find it challenging and encouraging of me as a believer and as a woman - fully and completely, a woman.

One of the things that it mentioned is how often we misinterpret the verse "Guard your heart for out of it are all the issues of life." Growing up this verse was used regularly …

Top 5 Disney Cruise Necessities

Image
I know we all define necessities different. Just going on a Disney cruise is quite the treat blessing, but if you have a little extra time, creativity or money the things on my list of "necessities" will make your trip that much more fun.

#1 - Fish Extender

Funny name, but the little plates next to stateroom doors on Disney have a hanger in the shape of a fish. Somewhere along the way someone had the nifty idea to hang a bag from the hook and use it as a place to drop off fun gifts for other people. Now they've gotten super fancy or you can make your own. But I would definitely recommend everyone participate in this volunteer activity so you can enjoy all that Disney has to offer.

#2 - Fish Extender gifts

Now if you hang a fish extender outside your door, then you will also need to sign up for Disney FE groups so that you know who to drop off to and who will be dropping off to you.

And once you're a part of the group then you have to …

A Christmas Post

This year as Christmas has approached, I have found myself thinking of Mary. Being the mom of three boys, I think it’s easier for me to put myself in her place . . . and yet, who can imagine what that was really like?
I grew up in a very conservative group of believers who eschewed any focus on Mary in order to counteract what they saw as “worship” of Mary by Catholics and Episcopals and some other more liturgical beliefs.
But you can’t deny Mary had an experience that no one before her and no one after her will ever have. She had a unique relationship with Jesus. She was his mom.
Think about the facts as real life and not some story in a book you’ve heard a million times.
Mary was barely a teenager.She had never had sex.An angel appeared to her and told her she was having a baby.Mary is pregnant in a society that KILLS unwed mothers.Mary may have only barely known Joseph as their engagement was likely arranged . . . and he was probably much older. She had to go to this man and try to …
