Valley Cooling Centers: Find Relief from the Heat
You or those you know may be sensitive to heat and this hot, hot weather is too much. The city of Fresno provides cooling centers to provide relief. This is especially important for the elderly in the valley.
Fresno.gov posted this a couple days ago,
"The forecast of high heat over the next few days has triggered activation of City of Fresno Cooling Centers today and tomorrow. Residents may visit Mosqueda Community Center, Pinedale Community Center, Ted C. Wills Community Center and the Frank H. Ball Neighborhood Center for heat relief from noon until 8pm. The City will provide free bus transportation along normal routes to and from the cooling centers for residents requesting a ride. While activation does call for free swimming while pools are operational, the City of Fresno pools closed for the season when FUSD began its 2010-2011 school year."
You can call the city on days under 105 degrees to check if the cooling centers are running. 621-CITY
For those who simply can't afford to pay their skyrocketing PG&E bills. The Fresno EOC program provides Home Energy Assistance/Emergency Crisis Program for those who qualify to help them pay their PG&E bill. This assistance is up to $390. It takes 10-14 days to know if you are approved at 6-8 weeks before they pay for your bill directly to PG&E. So, apply early if you foresee not being able to pay your bill in the future. If you do have a 48 hour notice, they should be able to help more quickly. For more information click HERE or call 559-263-1135.

Zulily
Zulily.com, Daily Deals for Moms,Babies and Kids.
Sorry if I'm on a kick, but here is another short sale/deep discount site. However, like Swirl the discounts are great for the products you are buying, but not the most affordable clothing if you don't have the money right now. Unlike Swirl this site offers a variety of products including maternity, toys, furniture, etc. it just depends on the day.
Shipping with Zulily is flat rate $5.95.
She Saved has posted a couple coupon codes, BTSBLOG10 will get you $10 off a $30 order and Coupongeek found GAF7856 which takes $5 off an order of $50.
Don't forget to refer your friends once you sign up. You'll receive a $10 credit when they make their first order.
Thanks She Saved.

Kiss Country and Best Buy: Apple a Day Giveaway!
Today the Apple a Day Giveaway is an Apple IPad. Kiss Country and Best Buy have teamed up as part of a Back to School promotion. To enter, all you need to do is become a Kiss Country VIP member. This is nice because then you enter your information when you sign up, then click "register" at the bottom of the page for each contest. You don't have to retype everything again and again. So for the heck of it, I registered for all the concert ticket giveaways as well. Everything is local so if you win, you might as well go! Click HERE to see the contests and click HERE to register as a VIP member. My sister Jen used to always call in and win. I've never even gotten through! Although, I'm always driving when I listen to the radio so that would be illegal to even try now wouldn't it.
Kiddie Kandids Free Enhanced 10x13 Wall Portrait
Kiddie Kandids is a portrait studio located in Babies R Us on Blackstone. Currently, they are offering a coupon you can pick up in the store for a FREE enhanced 10x13 wall portrait plus no session fee, a $45 value! You can choose from a black&white, sepia, vignettes or borders for your enhancement. You can only receive one free item per session so this wouldn't work with the Portrait Club offers. The coupon expires September 30th. My plan is to take in my newborn whenever he/she gets here! One of the best things about Kiddie Kandids is the fact that they print out your order as you wait in the store. They also train their staff to work well with infants, toddlers, and children. Walk ins are welcome or you can schedule online kiddiekandids.com
