Thanks to the addition of new Christmas toys, and me not enforcing the "pick up your toys" policy, it quickly became a disaster area with a capital 'D'. There were toys piled waist high throughout the room and you couldn't even open the door all the way.

So, I went there twice in attempt to use the deals to the best advantage. In my first transaction I spent $51.76 (saved $83.71) and got back $20 in Catalinas for my next trip. http://memoirsofamommy.blogspot.com/2008/05/super-savings-saturday-some-serious.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Amy)4<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/memoirsofamommy?a=y__oYdQEkmk:U_Ijed7qrBk:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/memoirsofamommy?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/memoirsofamommy?a=y__oYdQEkmk:U_Ijed7qrBk:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/memoirsofamommy?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> </div>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6667577787081337128.post-7171876618395416357Fri, 02 May 2008 18:11:00 +00002008-12-11T01:04:33.185-05:00GiveawaysDuring the last Bloggy Giveaways Carnival I entered Elaine's Giveaway at Muddling Through, and I actually won this BEAUTIFUL bookmark.

My hubby is still out of town, so I had to take three of our kids with me... a feat in itself. We ended up going to SIX stores and I saved over $200. The amazing part was we did it all in less than TWO hours... I was flying!Here's a pic I took of everything we got.

I'm not a super strict mom, and I don't require them to march silently behind me while we're shopping.

The school is trying to claim that it wasn't a "school related incident" because it was found outside. Gimme a break! It was found on school property, by a student, at 3:30 when school was letting out!

I just can't seem to help myself... I love playing around with the template design, and I'm never 100% satisfied with what I come up with. I made the most recent changes because the last look was too pink for me... I'm just not a pink kinda girl.I guess this http://memoirsofamommy.blogspot.com/2008/04/ch-ch-ch-changes.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Amy)3<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/memoirsofamommy?a=UcSJVKaL2b4:gjaWgHSUiZM:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/memoirsofamommy?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/memoirsofamommy?a=UcSJVKaL2b4:gjaWgHSUiZM:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/memoirsofamommy?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> </div>
