Happy Freebie Friday, everyone! We have been so lucky to have Freebies 4 Mom share their list of the best freebies of the week with our readers each and every Friday. Please visit her site for fabulous freebies and sweepstakes information every single day! This week Heather is giving away a $50 Walmart gift card from Hefty.

Sadly, Heather will no longer be able to provide the Freebie Friday list for our readers and this will be her last week with us. I am forever in her debt for her assistance each week and it has been a true pleasure to work with her. I hope you will please leave her a comment and thank her for help!  We will miss you, Heather!

We will be taking Freebie Friday off for next week since it is the holiday weekend. We will be back in December though and Stephanie from Couponing 101 has graciously offered to take over our list each week. Her site is a fantastic and organized resource for anyone looking to save money and she is going to be sharing with our readers the latest freebies on our Freebie Friday. Hurray!

This week on MomAdvice we are sharing 7 easy appetizers to make-ahead for Thanksgiving Day, so many ideas for dressing up pre-packaged convenience foods for a delicious weeknight meal as our calendars fill up with holiday activities, our weekly notebook of craft & food ideas to inspire you as you prepare for the holidays, and 150 giveaways that you can enter to win for some fabulous prizes.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
