Okay I've got a couple for this week.

First while shopping at Target yesterday I made my usual rounds to the clearance sections and went over to electronics to just check and see if some shutterfly products i have been watching finally got marked down more. THey did!! They're at 50% off. So I got 3 8x8 books and 2 pewter key chains, and a sesame 40 pg adventure book.



Our next deal was found at Kroger (a grocery store) They're having a game day essentials sale when you buy 9 items of kraft food pepsi etc. you get 6.00 off. That included kraft cheese. Kroger had those on sale for 2 for $4 which is a good sale but we also had a manufacturers coupon off the cheese. So our final price was .98 for a bag of shredded cheese or a block of cheese which is an awesome awesome price!! We also did the same with Triscuits and Wheat Thins and the final price on those was .68 per box!! what a deal!!!

Have a great week!

Speaking of housewifey..i did the most housewifey thing I've ever done last Tuesday. I was at home and had put Jack down for a nap I was working on the dishes and wearing my house clothes (nice word for pjs) and my apron I wanted to change the channel from cartoons to something a mommy could watch while she's doing housework. So I was flipping through and landed on the Home Shopping Network. They were advertising home organizational products so I thought I'd just see what's out there. They had this thing called the flipfold that folds your t-shirts in a second. Well I started thinking to myself how much I NEEDED that and I was like where's my purse..and then I'm like what are you doing this is sooooo the epitome of housewifeyness..you don't need that..OH YES I DO!!! So I ran up stairs and quickly googled it to see if it really was a good deal and then ordered it. YEP I ordered it..it came with an adult one and a jr one for children's clothes. Well it arrived Tuesday at my job and I got it yesterday when I went in. And what do you know it totally works!!! We tried it out at my mom's house with Jessie dresser drawers to help organize and straighten them out...we LOVED IT!!!! Anywhoo I'd recommend it! Basically if it doesn't save you a lot of time it atleast makes it more fun to fold shirts, etc.

I didn't get a before picture but I did get the after shot of my and dh's shirt drawers:

Well I had been looking for a way to store my son's large wooden puzzles with handles etc. They have a few on the market but they don't have ones big enough for some of his jumbo puzzles. My mom suggested using boxes and I remembered having extra FedEx boxes at the office that we don't use b/c we switched shipping companies. I used my new cold heat cordless glue gun (dh gave me for my birthday) to glue the boxes together. I folded the flaps inside the box to give it more structure. Here is how his puzzle shelf turned out I'm soo please and it fits all the puzzles just right:

I feel really blessed with all I accomplished yesterday while at home with ds. Grandma took him to the chiropractor in the morning which allowed me to work on the dishes and toys then when he got back it was time for his nap so I got a couple more hours to finish putting away straggling holiday decorations and repack our holiday lights adding in the new ones we purchased this year. They're all ready to be put out in the shed this weekend. I got the file cabinet in the kitchen and am starting to plan out the kitchen desk. I really want to get the final design done this weekend and get the supplies/order the counter monday. We need to get that finished in order to get my organizer back over here so we can finish up the filing which had been moved to the garage for the holidays.

My friend Sarah and I are going to the Container Store on Saturday so I can pick up some more containers for storage of toys and stuff. Ack!! I definitely have spent alot of money on stuff after the holidays this year. I found some great toy deals for ds's birthday and even next xmas.

I'm off to work today and I'm confident that I will be able to focus on work and not what I need to do at home, which is what usually happens then when i'm at home i'm all concerned with what i need to accomplish at work...ARGHH what a cycle. I can usually do good at work when I know i'm in a good place at home and haven't left anything undone and the house isn't a complete disaster.

Anywhoo...hugs everyone!!!

Well it is more like awesome news!! The truck has sold!!!! We're soo blessed and thankful for God finding us the right buyer for the truck. We now have the $$ in the bank not in the driveway. We're happy to get moving forward on taking care of other needs and wants.

Thanks for believing with us!!!

My sister has been doing coupons lately and getting tons of stuff free which has been a big benefit to our family and friends. So she had a bunch of coupons for huggies products so we went shopping. Had to do a few transactions at a couple different stores but all of the items in this picture were free!!! Yippie...that really helps our budget & pocket book.
