Patience Persisted for Me Today!!!!

Well, I found myself back at Target again today........I know, I know I was just there two days ago....But, I am so glad I had to go back!! All the Christmas Clearance was 75% OFF!!! I racked up......I got Stocking holders for $3.74 (two pack), Christmas ornaments for $1.74-2.24 a pack, stocking for $2.49 and $3.24, and some baking kits for 74 cents!! They had NO wrapping paper, tissue paper, candles for the windows, outside Holiday yard items, except for a few wreaths and lights. Patience persisted for me this time.....YEAH!!!

I also had a chance to go to Kohl's....they had a few Clearance deals on clothing.....there Christmas items were on Clearance for 70% off....but it was slim pickings, and what they had was still a little to highly priced for me anyway....But then again I am Cheap...LOL...LOL!!!

Had to make a return at both stores and at both places there was not another person waiting to return an items...SO if you have returning to do......get to it!!! Now is the time!!!

Christmas Clearance is HERE!!!

I made my travels today in hopes of finding some GREAT Christmas Clearance....I went to Target, they have all their Christmas related items 50% off....They had LOTS of ornaments (boxed and individual), lights, wrapping paper, gift bags, food items, wreaths, and much, much more!!! I myself did not buy anything...still not cheap enough for me..LOL...LOL!! I will wait for the 75% off.....They did have some items that are packaged in Christmas boxes, or wrap that are also on clearance that can definitely be used year-round!! (plastic cups, white tissue paper, few plates, candles, body wash/lotions etc.) I also had a chance to get to Walmart...they also have all Christmas items for 50% off as well. They have LOTS still left!! Lots of gift tags, wrapping paper, lights, candy, make-up gift sets, Christmas balls, and stockings, and MORE!! I bought only a bag of candy...Will wait to see what is still left at 75% off in a couple of days!! At Christmas Tree Shops all Christmas is 50% off as well.....They had LOT of wreaths, wrapping paper, candles, tins, gift bags, did not see any lights or gift tags. I also did not see ONE Christmas Tree at any of the 3 stores...and only The Christmas Tree Shops had candles for the windows....So I guess they are the HOT items everyone wants...LOL!!!

If you go good luck!!!

Clearing Out...BIGTIME!!!!

Well, let me just say...my house is OVERLOADED!!! I mean since Christmas I have been Freecyling like Crazy!!! Trying to move out some things so I can walk round...LOL..LOL!! Well not that bad...YET anyway! Just trying to make it simple to clean every week...I hate to have to pick up a TON of stuff to dust or mop!!! If you have never Freecycled it is GREAT!!! Most people would love to have what you refer to as "junk".... it's awesome....plus most people are so VERY appreciative!!! It makes you feel so good to clean out your house and give someone something they may need too!! It really is a great feeling!! I have also received a lot of great things from the site as well!! It works both ways!! You never know what someone may be giving away!!! Like they say someones trash maybe another person's treasure!!! Since I have been freecyling...now I think twice about throwing things in the trash...LOL!! Check it out....You never know what you may get!!!

Have you alreday been frecycling???? What is your best find???

Still Have That Sweater From Last Christmas????

Well, if so.......now is a great time to see if someone else may love that sweater Aunt Susy bought for you last Christmas. EBay is having 10 cent listing day TODAY ONLY!!! So what do you have to lose...list it and see if someone actually likes that gift you hate!!! LOL LOL!!! Even if you only get $10 for it....it's better than in your closet making not a cent at all!! Or you can use the money to do a little shopping for yourself....my sister said Target is having a a GREAT clearance sale on toys, Christmas items, and clothing.....in January they usually clearance bedding items, and baby products...so keep a look out!! In January restaurants usually want you to spend those gift cards you received for Christmas so they have meal deals/ and specials...last year TGIF's and Applebee's had some great meal deals...hopefully they will do the same this year!!

Are you a Procrastinator???

If you still need some Christmas presents..Overstock is going to help you get it done without leaving the house...Order from these items and it is Guaranteed to get there by Dec. 24...and best of all it's FREE!!!
Good Luck!!

Good Customer Service...It's Still Around!!!

My son has had a V-Smile for the past two years and just LOVES playing game on it!!! Except for the fact that recently the controller gets stuck and stopped working, so we had to replace it...and that the system itself only works when it wants too ........very temperamental, I guess!! So I felt sorry for my son...he would want to play and get so aggravated that it would not work.....

So I called up V-Tech (the company that makes it) and told them what was happening...and they said send it back and we will sent out a new system. I did have to pay $11 to send it back insured, but today we received a new one in the mail (took about 10 days only!) ...the whole system, a controller, game console, and game!! I am very impressed with the customer service!! My sister said she was going to purchase one for my niece (she loves playing the Dora game at our house on it!) but said with all the problems i was having with ours, she was having second thoughts.....But wait until I tell her how great the customer service was!! Anymore customer service stinks most everywhere.....but I guess good customer service is still out there!!!

My CVS Trip!!!

So I ran into CVS last night to pick-up some diapers that were on sale....and I walked in and headed down the side isle towards the back of the store to get the diapers...and when I headed down the isle a man stopped dead in his tracks...mumbled something and turned around the other way...I thought strange guy.......so I got my two packs of diapers and headed back down the same isle toward the front of the store and the same guy is looking nervously all around and putting all these Oil of Olay boxes in his basket.....I know stocking up is my thing...BUT the Oil of Olay was not even on sale??? So I was thinking to myself why so many boxes for a man to get??? Must like a moisturized women, I was thinking??!! LOL LOL So I get in the checkout line....and there it is.....the strange man with that basket full of Oil of Olay and other Mics. items I am sure headed right out the door...CVS basket and all!!!! The buzzer at the door beeped...and he just ran OUT!!! I was SHOCKED!!! He was probably about 25 years old....I mean seriously he knows much better than that!!! The Manager ran out after him but he was gone...he said they have surveillance cameras all over the store, and hopefully they will get him. It was scary....never before have I seen anything like it!! Well, I hope he gets caught somehow!!

He was writing labels, handing over pieces of tape, getting presents to wrap....all while having so much fun!! He loves it when he can help do grown up stuff, as he calls it!! He always says "Mommy, needed a Nice boys help today...." We also had his soccer pizza party today too. That was fun...a chance for him to see hos soccer pals again!!

Great Day!!!!

Today was nice relaxing day.....We hung out at home until about 2 pm, and then headed out to Old Navy.....Had to get my son his Christmas Eve and Christmas Day Dress shirts.....last minute, I know....BUT I was waiting for a GREAT DEAL and found it at Old Navy today!!! They were having some great sales today!! Hubby got a few shirts, 50% off, as did my son, and even me and my daughter as well!! Everyone actually got something...Rarely happens!! Then we headed to Bertucci's for dinner!!! YUMMY!!! It was delicious!! By the way they are having a Geat Gift card Deal too!! If you buy a $50 Gift card you (As the giver) receive a $10 bonus gift card for yourself to use on your next visit!! That make for a good deal!! We then headed to my sisters for Cake for my Brother-in-law. Some good old family time today!! It was a GREAT Day, but I am a little tired and need to head to bed!!

I'll write soon!!!

**Diaper Deals at CVS starts Tommorrow- 2 packs for $12.99
**Genaurdi's has Spiral Sliced Hams this week for ONLY $1.29 a pound!

Thank goodness it's Saturday!

I just love Saturday's maybe it's because my hubby is home, but its just seems to always be such a relaxing day. Right now my son is sleeping so I decided to write. He has radar for when I am on the computer and so it is near impossible to write when he is awake. My Husband and daughter are out shopping together. How Cute! I have know idea for what, but they have been gone since noon. We'll tonight I am having cake for my husband, because it is his Birthday on Monday. I still have to run and pick up the ice cream cake. I know nothing like waiting till last minute. But I just can't bear to wake up my son. I figure I'll go when he wakes up from his nap. It figures they always take long naps when you don't want them to. And when you want them to take a long nap they sleep for 20 minutes. We'll I am going to go eat some lunch I'll tell you how the whole cake thing went. My husband doesn't like a big fuss over his birthday so he doesn't even know I am doing this. Nothing like a surprise!! It makes it all the more fun. Talk to you later.

Construction we LOVE!!!

Do you ever wonder why Construction vehicles are so COOL? Well my son could probably write a mini-book about just how cool they are...They are doing major road construction down my street, so the dump trucks, backhoes, diggers, and more are visiting the neighborhood for a few weeks....Today on our way home they were digging in one section of the road so we had to sit and watch them for about 15 minutes or so....My son could of not been more excited!!! He loves it when they pick-up up the cement, and dirt and put it in the BIG dump truck...he especially loves the loud bang it makes hitting the inside of the dump truck.....He gets so excited watching and telling me all about what the workers are doing....his little voice changes tone as he talks......its so darn cute!!! After a little while they opened the road back up and we were able to pull into our driveway....he was still watching them as we walked inside....Talking about Crashing the cement....busting up the road....all while his sister lay sound asleep.....maybe someday she too will be so excited about the construction men and vehicles...I cannot wait!! We came inside and guess what we played......Construction Site with all the construction pieces we have.....We had a great time...now I see why the construction makes him so happy....it so very exciting...and what is not to love about destruction of the road you drive on everyday anyway??!!

Came home empty handed for him....all they really sell is cords with a sweater and tie....Sorry, just not my thing.....He is now in the boys department..and I cannot believe how much smaller it is than the toddlers sections in the stores....or maybe it just seems that way because I do not like him in sweaters, or sweatsuits with footballs and characters all over them.....Maybe it is me???? So I guess I will just have to keep searching...I'll find something I am sure....just may have to pay full price....Ha! Ha! Thant's too funny!!! LOL LOL!!

Out In the Snow We Went......

Well my snowman made out of cotton balls did not go over too well with my boy last night .....We got dressed in our snow gear and headed outside for a little winter snow FUN!!! And Man did he have a blast!! We were out there for about an hour and I had to beg him to come back inside....We attempted to make snowballs....not nearly enough snow......then we tried shoveling.....no snow on the pavement, just on the grass and cars, and mulch areas.....then we tried making a snowman...did not work out either...so my son decided we should get all the snow off of our front yard grass with shovels......Well he had a blast doing it....No, we did not get all the snow off...we made tracks and cleared away some of it....He was so proud of our job well done (our hard work as he calls it). He asked to go back outside this morning as soon as he woke up....but most of snow already started to melt away....hopefully there will be another snowfall real soon with LOT of snow...this way we can make a BIG snowman, and throw snowballs, and even maybe ride on the sleds!!!

Christmas Picture Day!!

We'll today I took the kids to get their Christmas picture done, it did not go that well though. My daughter hated the dress, wouldn't let me put her necklace on and cried because she didn't like to get her picture taken. So when we arrived at JCPenney, the lady was able to get two pictures of her but she was crying, which scared Nick so he began crying. Needless to say I walked out of there with no pictures of my daughter in her adorable Christmas dress, although I got a great picture of my son. At least one of them cooperated. I can't blame my daughter though I hate pantyhose too. I mean they are uncomfortable. So tomorrow I will be taking pictures of the kids in front of my Christmas tree and sending them into Snapfish to get developed. Oh we'll it makes life exciting. I had to laugh though because their was another mother getting her kids picture taken in the room next to us, and she was changing their outfits so they were wearing different clothes in each picture. I mean I can't even get one picture with my kids wearing one outfit. We'll both of the kids are sleeping, so I am going to call my hubby, and rub it in that I know what he wants for Christmas. I can't write what I think it is because I don't want to risk him reading this. I know he doesn't believe me that I know what it is but he sure will be surprised on Christmas Day. Goodnight to all!

Snowy Day....

It's snowing today....My son is so EXCITED!!! He says he wants to go outside in a little while and build a big snowman.....Man, I wish he could....we are only supposed to get a dusting, if we are lucky maybe an inch. When he looks out the window and sees all the snow and I tell him there won't be enough to go outside...he says to me "You must just like kidding me"!!! He's too funny sometimes....guess we will be making a snowman inside today out of cotton balls...should be interesting!!! And Fun too!! I also should start baking some Christmas cookies tonight...Last year I made them so late that we were cookied out already!!! I usually always make Chocolate Chip, and Peanut Butter Blossoms, and maybe this year I will get fancy and make a sugar cookies too!!! My son loves to help make cookies...well at least the first two trays of them....little too slow of a process to capture his attention for an hour or two. But boy, does he love to eat them..LOL....LOL

Well I would of thought that with all the talk about how the stores are hurting so badly this holiday season that the deals would be amazing!! Well not so much, at least what I need to buy.....I am holding out on a few last minute gifts I need to buy in hopes that I can really score a deal or two....or maybe I am the sucker who will be paying full price the day before Christmas Eve...(I do not shop on Christmas Eve....a little too crazy for me!!).

Deal of the Day:

It is just so fascinating to her....all the toys are all lined up around her and she prefers the paper......she also loves kitchen spoons and spatulas too...they keep her so busy when I cook and clean-up....LOL....LOL Well I had to run a ton of errands today...my poor kids had to tag along too. They were good as gold though.....as long as we have snacks, bottles, a Binky, and juice we are good to go!! Plus I always try to include my son in the errands too...He gets so excited to carry in the packages to the post office, and hold the receipts as we leave the store...It makes errands a little bit more fun at least...I know he cannot wait for Christmas...BUT I know he also cannot wait until all the shopping is over as well!!

My kitchen is almost at the finish line!

I am so excited because today my Dad came over and patched my kitchen. He is hoping that it will be ready for paint on Sunday. I am hoping so too, since I really want to have something at my house for the holidays, but I am waiting to see if the kitchen gets completed. I can't wait to be done with it. I hate when my house ids disorganized, and it has been ever since we started the kitchen weeks ago. I just hope when I move, I get a house with a new kitchen, you know? We'll tomorrow I take my son to the doctors for his 1 year check-up, hopefully he doesn't get to many shots. And my dad is supposed to come over tomorrow to do some more patching. I am going to put my daughter down and then I am off to watch the Hills, I know its a dumb show, but I still love it. Goodnight to all.

Today was doctor day...both of the kiddies had there check-ups today....both are growing OH so FAST and healthy!! Yippee!! I was expecting a LONG wait...but to my surprise..we walked in and out in about an hour! That was great!! Still on the search for that perfect gift for my one year old nephew...I had some ideas..but just cannot pin point the right gift.....hopefully it comes to me soon...I know he would absolutely love a ladder to climb, or some candy to eat...BUT I know my sis would not appreciate those gifts!!! Good thing I like her...or she would be in for a Christmas to remember...LOL...LOL....I thought I had my son all done for Christmas until my Dad informed me today that they got him the same BIG present as I did...GREAT!! He said well guess you have a return to make Tan....Gotta love Dad!! My son tonight made his Santa House as he calls it...actually a Gingerbread house....he was OH so excited to finally make it.....he has been asking since we bought it on Saturday! It looks so cute...He decorated it so well...took him about 1 1/2 hours....You can tell he is getting older when you look back at the one he made last year..This year there are actually windows, doors, all the candy is neat and in it's place, etc......Now we can display it on our counter for all to see come Christmas!! He just loves to show off his work..LOL

More Christmas shopping!!

Just ordered some Christmas presents off of Amazon. I got some great deals plus everything I ordered qualified for free super saving shipping. I just want to get all of this Christmas shopping done. And I have a growing mound of toys in my attic that need to be wrapped. It is so hard to wrap gifts when your kids are around. So I will have to wait to wrap my presents until my daughter is out with her Mom Mom. Today was a good day though, went grocery shopping, and then went over my sisters for some Pizza. Haley just loves going over there and so does my son, I mean really he just loves climbing all of the steps. He doesn't get to do that at home because we live in a rancher, (and I am glad about that). I am heading to bed myself, but I am going to call my hubby real quick, I am so excited he is coming home tomorrow. I often think how weird it is going to be when he will be home all the time after we move to Florida, I am so used to him being away sometimes I forget what it was like to have him home regularly. I know that the kids can't wait. Haley wishes everyday was Friday because that is when her daddy comes home. We'll goodnight talk to you soon.

The Cost to Eat.....

Being as frugal as I am there is one area in which it seems the costs are rising....the Grocery Bill each week!! I remember I use to spend about $50 a week for our family on groceries...now it is up to about $70 a week!!!! The price of milk alone is outrageous...$3.50 a gallon...WOW!! At 4-5 gallons a week it starts to add up fast!! I still coupon clip alot, but the items are just not as great a deal as they used to be......Eggs, juice, bread, cereal, yogurt....they all just keep rising!! I try my hardest to shop around and when something goes on sale I really stock up....but can't always do that...who wants old bread and sour milk...LOL...LOL Now I try to get somethings at Walmart, few other things at Target , and some at ShopRite and even Wegmans... It is a little more running around, but I do not go to every store each week....I wait until I compile a decent list for that store and then I make a run there...OR if there is a great sale and coupons for an item I run there as well....a little faster of course!!! Man, I sure miss all the FREE Wegmans coupons they were passing out a few months back.....they were great!!! Now I only ever get ShopRite coupons for $10 off a $100 or more purchase....I get excited now when I do not have to use that coupon...LOL...LOL
Well I just had to rant a bit...Feeling a bit better now!!! Feel free to offer any tips you may have....I can always use them!!

Good Night!!

Well, hubby surprised me last night and shaved off his mustache......In 10 years...this is the VERY 1st time seeing him without one!!!! And I LOVE IT!!! He looks like whole new man....I just cannot stop staring at him...LOL...LOL !!! My son asked him " Daddy who stole your mustache??"" We just cracked up...LOL... Well I mailed out my Christmas cards yesterday...I know a little early, but last year I waited until the very end and the line to get stamps at the post office was a nightmare!!! I wised up a little this year!! This year I got the photo cards online and just had to stuff them in the envie and address them...so Easy!! I'm loving technology these days!!

It's been so long.........


It has been so long since I have last written that now I don't even know where to start. We'll Black Friday was a huge success me and my sister racked up the deals. My sons first birthday party was on Saturday, and that too went great. He got a lot of great toys which he was in need of because all he had to play with were his older sister's stuff. He was in major need of boy related toys. Plus it is great having two kids so close in age, because Haley felt as though she got new toys as well. We'll today I just decorated for Christmas, although I don't have my Christmas tree up yet. I am hoping this year to get a real one so hopefully on Saturday me and my hubby will go and pick one out. I think Haley will really like picking out a tree. Plus I figure since this is my last Christmas home before moving to Florida, I better get a real tree while I can. I might be stuck with a palm tree next year. JK We'll going to put my daughter to sleep, she just came in and asked me to lay with her, so I know she is tired. Goodnight
