Saturday 11/27 shopping:)

Since 3 of my guys ended up with strep, I didn't have the chance to do any Black Friday shopping.  I did end up being able to slip out for a little while on Saturday and see what was left from CVS, Rite Aid and Walgreens since they did 3 day Black Friday sales.  Plus I knew I had to at least go to Rite Aid since my Up Rewards were expiring that day.  Here is what I bought:

Walgreens Instant Win game

I hope everyone is still playing the Walgreens Stay Jolly Instant Win game.  You can play once a day until December 12, 2010.  I know you are probably saying why bother, I never win anything anyway?  I was saying the same thing but still played because well you never know.  Well, on Thanksgiving morning, I was going about my morning computer routine and checking all the websites I visit in the morning and played the Walgreens Stay Jolly Instant Win game and oh my I won a $25 Walgreens giftcard.  I couldn't believe it- I actually won and got the email stating my giftcard should arrive in 3-4 weeks- YEA!!!!  So, keep playing because you never know- next you could be the winner:)

We hope...

That everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  We made it safely to Maryland and had a very blessed Thanksgiving. 

Michael and I had fun creating the styrofoam turkey to take with us so that everyone could write what they were thankful for on the feathers.  Everyone loved the idea and as you can see we had a blessed and thankful turkey.  Thanks to The Homespun Heart for the wonderful Thanksgiving craft ideas- they were a big hit:)


Unfortunately on Friday, Nathan woke up with a horrible rash on his face and Michael and Chris were not feeling so well.  So off to the doctor they went only to discover that all three of them had strep.  So, because I have a sick family to tend to, there will not be any store deals this week :(  

Thursday, November 25, 2010

Happy Thanksgiving:)

We would love to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours:)  Enjoy this day as we give thanks for all the Lord has blessed us with and being able to share this day with family and friends.  For those who are traveling, please be safe in your travels.  We will be leaving shortly for your trip up to Maryland to spend this beautiful day with family.

Where are this weeks deals??

I know many of you are wondering where are the store deals and why haven't they been posted yet.  I had no clue this weekend would be so busy.  With the shed incident and then having to take the baby to the emergency room 30 minutes before we were supposed to leave for North Carolina for my sister in laws baby shower- wow what a weekend.  The store deals are coming, they are just a little delayed.  Thanks for understanding and your patience:)

Mother Nature Strikes....

With the wind whipping, I could not sleep last night.  The constant tornado watch warning didn't help much either.  Even our dog and cat were spooked by the wind gusts and rain pours.  It sounded like the wind was going to rip the roof right off our house.  Once all had died down, I went to bed.  Because I went to bed so late, morning came very early.  The morning was going normal- I got up, read my daily devotionals while Kevin was in the shower, got the rest of the boys  up, fixed breakfast, etc.  Everything seemed to be just like our daily routine.  Until, Kevin tooked the dog out.  He came running inside telling me that there was something I had to see.  I went to the back door, looked out, wasn't sure what I was looking at through the foggy glass door.  I stepped out on the back porch to see.....

Our shed is on its roof, doors no where to be found.  All of the stuff we had in the shed all over the place.  A big mess.  Well, we talked about getting in and cleaning out the shed.  I guess Mother Nature felt we had procrastinated long enough and was thoughful enough to remove the shed for easier access-LOL.  I hope everyone else's week is going alot smoother than ours :)  

We Did It!!!!

I can't believe we actually did it.  We are so excited.  We wrote the last check on one of our bills- YEA!!!!!  It feels so good having one bill down.  I am trying not to think to hard about all the how many to go.  But for right now, we paid this bill- we are done- we don't owe this bill anymore and it feels fabulous:)  We are working hard to bring the total of debt we have down.  With writing this last payment on this bill, it has freed up some much needed cash and it seems just in time.  I will post later on our lovely van issues- umm I mean adventures:) 

How did we do it, you may ask?  And what are we doing to become debt free?  What is our strategy?  These are all great questions we have been asked.  With the holidays fast approaching and our travels, I plan to blog the answers to these questions after the holidays.  Stay tuned......

Black Friday

Wow- I cannot believe that Thanksgiving will be here next week.  Where is the time flying to?  This year is going by too fast.  Christmas will be here before you know it- speaking of Christmas, I don't know how many of you plan to get up at the crack of dawn and go shopping on Black Friday.  My husband dreads it every year-LOL.  The first year we went was great, I got most of my shopping done.  Last year, not so great- it seemed that unless you were out at midnight you missed most of the good deals.  We are not sure if we are going to brave the crowds again this year.  I think we might just take a break with Black Friday this year.  I have looked at the ads and am not seeing too much that interests me for the kids this year.  So, I am undecided about whether or not we will be going this year.  .

Santa arrives....

I just saw a sign at Chesterfield Towne Center that Santa arrives tomorrow- November 12th from 6pm-7pm.  There will be a tree lighting event as well as giveaways and activities for the kids.  For more info such as hours Santa will be there and photo prices, please visit the website.

Garden Ridge Deal

I found out that a Garden Ridge had opened up at Chesterfield Towne Center.  I had to go to see what it was all about.  I was impressed with all the deals they are running.  If you are in market for a Christmas Tree, they have an awesome sale going on until November 24, 2010.  You can see their ad here.   We were in need for a comforter and sheets since we are being blessed with a new bigger bed and have no sheets for it.  I was pleasantly surprised on the selection of bed in a bag they had.  Unfortunately, the pattern we fell in love with, they did not have in the size we were looking in. So, we finally decided on one.  And we saw the sign- "all bed in bag on sale for $25" - what a deal since they are regularly priced $40.  If you have a Garden Ridge near you, you may want to check them out:)

**Great Deal Alert for Walmart**

My Shopping Day for the week of 11/07/10

Coffee Mate coupon

I think Coffee Mate is trying to tell me that they would like for me to bring coffee back into my household-LOL.  They have released another great coupon- not as good as the $1.50 cpn, but his one is for $1 off any 15oz+ package of liquid or powder Coffee Mate coffee creamer.  Walmart sells the 16 oz size for $1.78- use the coupon to get some coffee creamer for $0.78- not bad:)  I just finished off the Chocolate Toffee creamer this morning, which was delicious and am now starting on the French Vanilla- Yummy:)  You can print this coupon off twice- just hit print and then hit the back button and it will print again.

**Giveaway #4- Teen Bible- Closed**

Giveaway #4 is:

Click on picture to make bigger
This giveaway will have 2 winners.  Each winner will receive a Teen Bible- Truth for Youth.  This teen bible is the New Testament. 

I wasn't sure how my older kids were going to react to the Teen Bible when it came in the mail.  I only ordered 1 to see how it was going to go over.  At first, they argued about who was going to get it.  Once I told them I would order more, it seemed to calm the waters.  Chris grabbed the Teen Bible and dissapeared into his room.  I knew something was up when it got too quiet in the house.  I tiptoed to Christopher's room to surprise him- well he surprised me- he was sitting on his bed- head buried in this book.  He couldn't put it down.  I knew I had to order more.  I ended ordered 5 books- 1 for Kevin, 1 for both Chris and Kevin to give to a friend at school and 2 to giveaway.  I have been trying to get my older kids to read the bible with no success.  This teen bible, even though it is only the New Testament, breaks down the chapters into easy to read sections.  Christopher commented that this was alot easier to read than the actual bible and it was easier to understand.  If you have a teenager or soon to be teenager and wish they would read the bible and really understand what they are reading, this is the book for you. 

I am giving away 1 copy of the Truth for Youth Teen Bible to 2 winners.  All you have to do to enter is leave a comment in this post. This giveaway will be from November 3, 2010 to December 3, 2010 at 11:59pm.

Home Depot Kid Workshop

Mark your calendars:

November 6th, Home Depot is having their free kid workshop.
They are building a spice rack.  There is no sign up for Home Depot kid workshops- you just show up between 9am and noon.  I would recommend showing up closer to 9am, as we have gone between 10 and 11 am and there were no more kits left to build :( 
The kids workshops are designed for ages 5 through 12.  Along with their project, they get to take home a cute little kid size orange apron and an achievement pin.
