I love letting my fingers do the walking. And I love getting rewarded for it.

A mama friend turned me onto Upromise, a service that helps you save for your babe’s college tuition while you shop. Access your favorite online stores through their website (or use their automated software so you don't have to remember to start at their site) and earn money while you shop. Register those pesky little Shaw's or CVS cards and every time you use them to buy participating items, you’ll earn money. And the list goes on with restaurants, retail stores, services, and special programs.

Now you have a new way to rationalize that cute new pair of shoes!

One of my fabulous mama friends recently passed along the dish on Let’s Dish, a super fun, stress-free way to get dinner on the table. In just two hours, create a fleet of freezer-ready meals, or order meals online for pickup. Choose between 8- or 12- dish packages (each dish serves 6 people) at an in-store session, or split a package with a friend. Confirm current pricing with Let's Dish, but at the time of this writing, the 8-dish in-store package was $160 ($3.33 per serving); the 12-dish package $200 ($2.78 per serving).

Looking for a novel mama's night out or baby shower idea? You also can host a private party fee-free. Each guest (including the host) select and pays for her/his own dishes; if more than 12 guests attend, each guest receives an extra party dish free.

You can find Let’s Dish in Burlington (82 Mall Road, behind the mall, next to Starbucks) and Newton/Needham (238 Highland Avenue, on Newton side of the 128 intersection). An Arlington location (1398 Mass. Ave, next to Panera Bread in Arlington Heights) is forthcoming.
