Rental On Me + Giveaway
This is a sponsored post. Please refer to our disclosure statement.
I don’t know about you, but I have a lot of extra things lying around. Sometimes I’m not even sure how I’ve accumulated so much but I do know that it just sits in our garage or sits in our basement and is rarely touched.
On the other hand, sometimes I’m headed out or planning to stay in and really wish I could just rent something instead of buy it. I ask all my neighbors on social media and text a few people to see if they have the item I’m looking for but if they all say no, then I’m usually headed to the local store to purchase it.
Sound familiar? Well, Rental On Me has you covered next time you’re in that situation.
RentalOnMe.com connects users by letting them search locally for the items they would like to experience, but not necessarily own, store, and maintain.
RentalOnMe.com provides protection in case of damage, theft, or loss. We can do this because of our automatically generated contracts.
RentalOnMe.com allows you to make requests in your neighborhood. Ask for something to rent, and you’ll be surprised at how fast someone gets back to you.
RentalOnMe.com has launched in Utah, and is now capable of working anywhere in the U.S. In fact, it was created just north of Utah Valley. It’s free to list your items and charges only a 3% processing fee to owners to cover the costs of the transactions which is a great deal.
To begin, you can either sign up to start renting your things or you can request something to rent near you.

FatCats Provo Review
This is a sponsored post. Please refer to our disclosure statement.
Our family had the opportunity to visit FatCats in Provo and their Family Special which is 90 minutes of bowling, 2 pitchers of soda, 1 appetizer, and 1 large, 4 topping pizza. This deal is good for up to 6 people, Monday through Thursdays until 8 pm.
With a family of 6 kids, this worked out perfect. The kids were able to have fun bowling and when they weren’t bowling, they were able to enjoy some pizza and soda. Our family rarely goes out to activities like this but it was definitely a huge hit with the kids and one I’m sure they’ll want to go to again.
I’d suggest this great deal or you can get a BOGO offer here for one game.

Sign Up Now for Free Preschool
This is a sponsored post. Please refer to our disclosure statement.
Good news for Utah families with preschool age children! Pre-registration is open for UPSTART, a free online preschool program for at-home use. The program is designed for the year before kindergarten to get your child ready for school.
UPSTART uses Waterford Institute’s award-winning software and contains thousands of educational songs, books and lessons to teach reading, math and science. Each child is given unique, individualized lessons based on their skill level and learning style. And the best part is—they love it!
The program has proven that for just 15 minutes a day, 5 days a week, children can become kindergarten ready. In fact, most children graduate from UPSTART already at an advanced kindergarten level.
Over 15% of Utah preschoolers use UPSTART, and in a 2013 study, external evaluators found that kids using UPSTART have 2-3x higher learning rates than those who don’t use the program.
Don’t miss out on this wonderful opportunity for your child! Register now for UPSTART 2015 and beyond at http://waterfordupstart.org/
