If you missed it the first time the DiapersDirect.com deal is back on Groupon.  The deal runs through the end of today so don't miss out to get diapers for roughly 30% off! Click HERE to get the deal!  Since it's an online deal you can search under any city, even if you don't see yours listed.  I know this deal is listed under Minneapolis/St. Paul if you're unable to find it

  Ok, well, technically I paid $25.29 but I still think that's a great deal for 120 diapers, a bottle of body wash and a pack of wipes.  I got this deal with a recent Groupon purchase.  A couple of weeks ago they had a deal that for $25 you could get a $50 certificat to DiapersDirect.com.  I checked out the site and even though their prices are generally higher than Amazon.com

Here is what my hubby worked on this weekend: And here is what I got to enjoy this weekend: Logan, Noah and I went out of town for the weekend for my Godson's high school graduation.  It was a much needed break from all the flood prep going on in our area.  So far we have not seen any water and hopefully that will continue.  This morning they opened the spillway up at Garrison

I'll start blogging again as soon as we know what's going to happen with the flooding in our area.  Our house is currently in the "unknown" area.  We not only have the Missouri to worry about, we also have a drainage ditch too.  It looks like we'll have until Tuesday to get prepared, I ordered two truckloads of sand to be delivered.  So let the sandbagging begin.  Ahh,

Last night I thought I was being absolutely brilliant ;)  I had to work until 9:30 so I got my CVS scenario all planned out and thought it would be perfect - I could shoot over to CVS after work and do the Avatar deal for Mike.  Since I knew both of our stores sell out of things super-fast I didn't want to wait until this morning to do the deal.  Boy, was I wrong.  Luckily,
