Kmart Super Double Coupon Deals!

Today I went to Kmart to use some of my coupons with their Double Coupon deal, I of course, did not prepare very well.
Usually, I will check the sale paper and match up my coupons to the sales, but today I just wanted to get there! So, I went thru my coupons quickly and pulled out the good ones and headed over to Kmart.

I actually did get some great deals, but what a pain it was! Today was Kmarts training day, I picked the wrong day to go....it took almost 25 minutes to ring up my items. BUT, the girl was a sweetheart and she did a great job, even with the customers behind me huffing and puffing because it was taking long. Well, guess what? All of the other lanes were trainees too, so either way, you're gonna have to wait! AND, the system was running extra slow, they had been calling on them for 2 hours before I came in, so I had to let the waiting go, those poor employees : (
Anyways, I got 21 items, and paid $16 total! For some reason, I have a feeling that I should have paid even less, but the cashiers kept telling me everything rang up the way it was supposed to. I can't complain though, some of my bargains were

Glade-The Fragrance Collection 10 oz candle for $0.99

Degree Body Mist for $0. 99

Nivea Lip Conditioner $0.69

Dove Cream Oil   $1.39

Bic Comfort Twin 10pk Razors $1.49

Kotex pads $1.29

Crest Kids Toothpaste $0.29

These were the best deals I had to pay for, most of the other things were ok, but I wish I could have found some better coupons! Unfortunetly, I don't have a printer at home now, so I can only go with the coupons from the papers and magazines I've clipped!
Oh well, there's still time!

So it was decided, she wanted to be one for Halloween : ) What I liked is that she had a choice of mermaid costumes to pick from, not just one, there are 3 different costumes! She could not wait to open it and try it on! It is adorable, and she says it's very comfy! I was afraid that it might be too tight around the legs, and hard for her to walk, but it is perfect, and looks great. The long sleeved costume is also nice because where we live, we never know what the weather will be like for Halloween! It also comes with a Seashell headband to complete the look. Now she wants a wig, and we'll have the perfect little mermaid for Halloween.

Well, I've found a way to get my kids to TRY mustard on their hotdogs and burgers, it's Spread Heads! Not only did it make the kids laugh uncontrollably, but it grossed out my sister!!! Now that's a winner here!
Ketchup Charlie has not left our bottle of ketchup, although it's pretty low since we introduced him to our home! And Mustard Marvin, well, my hubby really enjoys watching mustard flow out of your mouth onto his hot dogs, lol! We cannot stop laughing everytime someone uses them, they are just too funny! A bit gross, some may say, but if it will get my kids to try something new, I'm all for it!

If I could have thought of this, I'd be a genius! But someone else did, these funny yet particularly useful products known as Spread Heads are part of the mad scientist creations carried by Black Lab.

WAT-AAH Review AND Giveaway!

My kids like to drink water, but I always worry that they aren't getting enough! Now that they are in school, I send them off with a water bottle and hope that it's empty by the end of the day. My 6 year old LOVES to drink out of a water bottle, and I don't worry much about her. But my 10 year old son, well, he's more of a pop/sugary drink kind of kid!
When I got the chance to review WAT-AAH, I jumped at the chance! Not only did it look cool, the 4 different varieties each had something special about them. Brains, Bones, Body and Energy, each contains that extra something to help your child grow! And, with the bright labels, I don't think any kid could resist : )

I received my bottles of WAT-AHH, and put them right into the fridge, next to the juice boxes and mini bottles of pop. When the kids came home from school, both went straight to the fridge and said, "What is this? Can we drink it? Is it for us?"! And, they spent the next 10 minutes running around yelling about how they were drinking WAT-AAH! like the bottle says! I wish I could have video taped it, hysterical!  My daughter went right for the pink bottle (Body) and it was gone by the time I got their snack ready. My son, had to examine the remaining bottles to figure out which one he was going to drink, wouldn't you know, he picked Energy! As if he didn't have enough already, lol! I think he thought it was going to have some sort of flavor, but, knowing it would "give him more energy for his karate lesson", he chugged it away and said that it was some darn good water!
The next day, they both asked me if they could take the remaining bottles to school instead of their regular water bottles, I said sure! Both of my kids had tons of kids asking them about their water and where they got it, so they became the "cool" kids because of their "cool" WAT-AAH! My son took the Brain bottle, he had a spelling test that day, so it would give him more brain power, his own words!
I really, really love WAT-AAH, not only because it gets my kids to drink water on their own, but because it has that something extra that MAKES the kids want it, and it's good for them! When MY kids pass up a juice box, or a can of pop, I know it's a good product! And mabye some will say it is just bottled water, to me, it's way more than that!

Right now, WAT-AAH is available in SOME stores, but you can purchase cases online at Amazon.com! A 12 pack is $12, VERY good deal! You can also purchase WAT-AAH tshirts online to help spread the word! So take the WAT-AAH Challenge for yourselves, I bet you'll enjoy it as much as our family did!

Heres the best part! One lucky reader will recieve a WAT-AAH Prize Pack, filled with goodies and your own samples of WAT-AAH! You and your family will be able to check out this awesome product and take the challenge for yourselves!

Nacho Mama Tee's Review and Giveaway!

I have said before, I LOVE funny tshirts! And when I find a company that has a ton to choose from, I'm in heaven! Well, I found another one.... Nacho Mama Tees! Nacho Mama Tees is connected with Crazy Dog Tshirts, but has a TON of different shirts to choose from. I could spend hours checking out their shirts and laughing at how crazy they can get, or how they remind me of back when I was a kid : )

I recieved the Wally World Tshirt, because, as a kid, I watched National Lampoon Vacation over and over, and still do when it's on! I always wanted to go to Wally World, and be like the Griswolds and have the park to myself, lol! So, wearing this shirt, I had 5, yes, 5, people ask me if there really is a Wally World now, or is it just a National Lampoon shirt? Which then I had to tell them where I got it, Nacho Mama Tees, and that I'd bet they could find something they would like! My hubby was a bit jealous of my shirt, (he likes the National Lampoon movies too), but I found a few more that will make his day!

Nacho Mama Tee's has a great variety, from Vintage T's, Movie T's, Funny T's and of course, 80's T's! They are always adding new shirts, so be sure to check every week for a new laugh! You can also follow them on Twitter AND Facebook to get daily updates and trivia for a chance to win a free tshirt!

With the holidays coming up, I know I can find the perfect gifts for my teenaged cousins and my sisters, who share my good taste in funny tshirts! Or, what a neat gift for a Holiday grab bag, find out the persons favorite movie or TV show, I bet there is a shirt on Nacho Mama! Truly, there is something for everyone!

Here's the best part, one lucky reader will win their choice of Tshirt from Nacho Mama Tee's! Just head over and let me know your favorite shirt! ( Mandatory entry)

The Lazy Baker Review

I love to bake, but lately it seems like I never have enough time to bake up a storm like I used to. So, usually if I do bake, it's resorting to those premade squares that just pop right in the oven. Somehow, that just isn't as fun as really making a batch of fresh cookies!
Recently, I was able to review a product from The Lazy Baker, a company whos mission is "To help individuals discover their inner baker through the art of lazy baking: a fun, simple and contemporary approach to baking that doesn't sacrifice quality, taste or your time"! With yummy treats as Chocolate chip, Double Chocolate Chip, and Brown Sugar Pecan Shortbread, there is a treat for everyone!

I recieved Brown Sugar Pecan Shortbread Cookie mix, and honestly, it was as easy as 1, 2, 3! I enlisted the help of my son and daughter to mix the ingredients, and of course, lick the spoons and bowl clean : ) The best part, all I needed to do was add in butter and vanilla to the mix! Stir away, pop in the oven, and 15 minutes later, a yummy, wonderful smelling treat! I felt like we were baking, just the hard part was already done, and no mess to clean up or ingredients to put away!
Now, my kids normally won't eat any type of sweet that has nuts in it, but they gobbled the Pecan Shortbread cookies up! So much that I had to sneak a few away so I'd have some to eat later that night! Thats all they lasted, ONE night! These cookies were so good, they asked me if I could make them again, AND if I would make them for the school bake sale!
If you would like more info on how to order, you can go to Thelazybaker.com, and also follow them on Twitter! The Lazy Baker is not all over yet, but you can order their products online!
So if you're a busy mom, or just a mom that would like to bake but can't get the urge to do so, I'd definetly recommend The Lazy Baker, and you're just a few steps away from a delicious, tasty treat!

Winner of the LTD Chix Bag is...

Congrats to JanetFaye, the winner of the LTD Chix Shopping bag! I have sent an email to you, please respond within 48 hours : )

Thank you to everyone that entered! And a special thank you to LTD Chix, for giving me the opportunity to review their bags! This is a great company : )

Crazy Dog Tshirts Review AND Giveaway!!!

I LOVE funny tshirts, and what I love even more is an inexpensive, funny tshirt! I found a place where I can get both, over at Crazy Dog Tshirts! I chose  the "Gizzy is the Shizzy" Tshirt, and not only have I gotten a ton of laughs, I've had at least 4 people strike up a conversation about the movie Gremlins! What a good ice breaker, wear a funny tshirt : )  I love Gizmo, I even named one of our family dogs after him, so cute!

I really love this shirt, it is more snug than a regular tshirt, so I don't feel like I'm swimming in shirt. But, it's also long enough to cover everything, I AM a mom, ya know! It is soft and comfy, but I do think I'll air dry it when I wash it, as it's 100% cotton. I don't want it to shrink and I've only worn it twice, then my Gizzy shirt wouldn't be so Shizzy anymore :)

If you head over to Crazy Dog, you will find a TON of shirts to choose from- Movies, 80's, Funny T's, Junk Food T's, Video Game, you name it, they most likely have it! My entire family has a little wish list of shirts they'd like, so I can easily find some holiday gifts and know they will love them!
Crazy Dog has specials on their site, such as the $9 Tshirts, the $6 Mystery T, AND every day one shirt is only $6.99! Those are great prices for a cool shirt! Neat idea for a Grab Bag gift or a stocking stuffer for the holidays! Shipping is SUPER fast, and the Customer Service has been great!

If you are like me and LOVE funny shirts, I'd recommend heading over to Crazy Dog and looking around, you just may find that shirt you NEED to have to add to your collection, or start up a new collection!

Crazy Dog can also be followed on Twitter and Facebook, where they give away a shirt a day, with daily trivia and other fun games! I've been trying, they are getting tough, but it's so much fun trying to answer some mind boggling questions at 10am, or thinking of a hysterical caption for a tshirt!

Here's the best part! One lucky reader will win their choice of shirt from Crazy Dog! All you have to do is head over to their site and let me know your favorite shirt! (Mandatory)

Piggy Paint Review

I recently had the chance to review Piggy Paint, a nail polish made of all natural ingredients for little AND big girls alike! We recieved a bottle of Dandelion Dance (yellow) and a bottle of their Low Odor, Hypoallergenic Polish Remover! First off, I noticed that there is little to no smell whatesoever! Everyone in the house knows when one of us girls are painting nails, so this was a nice surprise to our noses.
I let my daughter paint her own nails, she's 6, and does a good job, but somehow I always find polish after she's done : ) She took off to the bathroom and had a blast! After the 1st coat, it was still a very light gold glitter color, so she put another coat on. It was very easy to wipe off the excess she dripped with a Qtip and a dab of remover.  What a pretty color Dandelion Dance is! My daughter liked it because it sparkles, and she is ALL about the sparkles! I decided I was going to do my toes, so we are matching nail polish buddies, according to Ash! The best part was, as we were painting our nails, hubby came home from work and walked right past the bathroom! He had no idea we were in there, because there was no horribly strong odor from the polish OR the remover!
The nail polish also stays on a long time, no chips for about 4-5 days, and my girl can get dirty! My toes are still perfectly sparkly, I've actually gotten a compliment from another mom at school : )

Head on over to the Piggy Paint website to see for yourself! A great selection of individual colors to choose from, and adorable sets that come packaged in takeout containers! What a great gift for the Birthday girl, or as the holidays near, a nice Christmas gift or stocking stuffer for the little Princess! You can mix and match colors, and also check out their Monthly Specials! Right now, the Girls Rule! set, norm. $27.50, is on sale for $23.50! Thats 2 nail polishs AND a bottle of Remover, GREAT DEAL!

And, if you would like to order, Piggy Paint has given my readers a Coupon Code for 15% off your purchase! Enter the code HEART15L to recieve your discount, good thru October 31st!!
Plus, if you spend over $25, you will recieve FREE shipping! Piggy Paint ships WorldWide!
You can also follow Piggy Paint on Facebook AND Twitter, to find more specials and deals thru-out the month!

I would like to thank Piggy Paint for giving me and my daughter the opportunity to try Piggy Paint, we had a blast!! I will definetly keep ordering from them, not only because we like the product, but it has given my daughter and I an opportunity to spend a little more time together doing something fun! : ) Thank you very, very much!!

Sweetly You Review!

When I came across Sweetly You, I knew it was going to be a place that I would shop at in the future! Just by their selection of fragrances, and their LOW prices, anyone can purchase a gift, for themselves or others without breaking the bank!
I recieved the Premium Body Lotion and Solid Scent in PINK, Foaming Bath Butter in Hawaiian Breeze, Rice Flower and Shea/Shea and Cocoa butter cream, and White Ginger and Amber Solid Scent. I really loved how it's packaged, so pretty and everything just BEGGING to be opened : )

I have Psoriasis, so I always have to be careful of what I use on my skin. I used the Foaming Body butter first, and it smells SO, SO good! And what I noticed right off was that it made shaving my legs alot easier, that's where most of my psoriasis is! The butter makes a nice foam and spreads well.
After that, I used the Pink Body lotion, and again, smells wonderful! It's like I was actually using the Victoria Secret Pink lotion! When I went out later in the day, I used a little bit of the Pink solid scent, and hours later, I could still smell it. THAT is what I like in a product, a scent that stays on, and I don't have to reapply it 2-3 times! Also, with it being a solid scent, I can put it exactly where I want it, and it's going to stay there! : )
Last night, I put on the White Ginger and Amber scent, and passed by my hubby. He asked me what I was wearing, and said I smelled really, really good! This is probably my favorite scent of all, it's sweet, but not overbearing, and if I get a compliment from the hubby, I know it's a keeper!

What I like best about Sweetly You, is that now I can get the normally "High priced" scents that I like, for a fraction of the cost!And there are so many other scents to choose from, there is a goody for anyone. I am so happy with my items, I cannot say enough good things!
And, of course, you get a bag of Jelly Belly jellybeans, what could be btter than that?!

I'm looking for some migraine remedies... HELP!

I've been suffering from migraines since I was a teen, and up until about 5 years ago, took nothing but Tylenol to try and ease the pain. Then, my Dr. finally gave me Maxalt, which helped a TON, but after a year of being on the highest dose, it wasn't working anymore. Then he gave me Imitrex, and I've been on that for about a year. It helps, but it takes awhile to kick in, and it is SO darn expensive!! It's sad when I have to wait until the last minute to decide whether or not to take a pill, to know for sure I really cannot function before taking it. I get migraines at LEAST 4-5 times a month, so the meds are gone quick! And my insurance covers 9 pills a month, then I have to pay $20 a pill!
Oh and the best part?! I'm allergic to aspirin AND Ibuprofen, so no Excedrin Migraine, which I hear works well, or Advil with a cup of coffee for me! I've been staying in a dark, quiet room and praying that my meds will work, that's my remedy right now.
So, I'm looking for ideas, suggestions, basically, any help I can get on how to deal with and treat these migraines. I do know that I will get one a few days before my period, 1-2 during, and almost always 1 afterwards. I'm all for doing home remedies, the cheaper the better, and I'll try pretty much anything that is thrown my way, I'm desperate!
The worst part is they don't just come and go, they can last for days! 3 days of a migraine is pure hell on me, AND my family! The kids need their momma, so please, help this Momma out!

Make sure you check your CVS's!! 90% off summer clearance going on!

I just posted a few days ago that I had gotten some really good deals at CVS, 75% off summer sale. Well, I stopped in 2 new CVS's today, and they were already up to 90% off! Of course, not as much stuff as I 'd like, lol, but I got some cute rubber duckies for the bath tub and for a friends shower, one more beach towel, and a set of 4th of July banners,garland, and some funny sunglasses for daughter. All for under $5!
That is my kind of shopping! And I'm learning that picking up these deals and storing them does save a TON of money, I just wish I would have picked up on that a few years back... : )
Hope you all had a wonderful long weekend!

Some great deals at Walgreens and CVS today!

We stopped at Walgreens to pick up a desk fan for the hubby, and I only stopped there because I knew they had one for $9.99. So I actually found 2 different kinds that I liked, one didn't have a price on it. I figured it would be around $15, so we brought them both up to the register. Well, turns out they were part of the 75% off summer sale, and one rang up $2.24, and the other, $4.49! So, we got both for under the $10 I had planned on spending, whooo hoo!
Then later I had to stop at CVS, I saw a few things from their summer sale which just got marked to 75% off, and then I saw the table at the front of the store, here's what we got-

2 beach towels- Reg. 2/$10 paid $1.25 each!Have to check other CVS's for more!

Frisbee- Reg. 4.99 Paid $1.25

Bubble Dog- Reg. 9.99 Paid $2.25

Bubble Wand- Reg. 4.99 Paid $1.25

Rubber Ducky- Reg. 2.99 Paid $.50-I should have grabbed more!!!

Squirt water toys- REg. 2.99 Paid $.75

I walked out of the store with 2 estatic kids, and I was pretty happy myself!
I can't wait to check out the 3 CVS's that are on the way to my mom's house tomorrow!

When I look thru my junk mail inbox everyday...

It never fails, I'm a winner!, I'm going to recieve somebodys inheritance check, because they have no other living relatives and I was picked to recieve it!, I won the Pepsi Promotion a million times over, AND, someone wants to send me a check for $3 million dollars, just because my last name started with a H!
Seriously, do people really fall for this? I mean, for the past few years, hubby and I have been in some very tight financial situations, and we started selling our things on Ebay. We would get checks from people that were thousands of dollars over the selling price. We were supposed to cash the check, keep an extra $500, and send the rest back. Now, as tempting as that sounded, we would always bring the checks to our bank and have them verify everything. Of course, they were always fraudulent, but it amazed me at how good these people were at making checks look and seem real! Some had the watermarks, some of the "banks" kept telling us AND the bank workers it was fine to cash the checks! But then when we researched it a bit more, it always turned out fraudulent.
The last thing was, we recieved a check for $1500 from Kodak Company. NOw, my hubby had entered a few amatuer photography contests, and he had placed 3rd in one! So when we got this check, we both thought, "Wow, this is great for 3rd place!" Of course, I noticed that the mailing address on the Next Day FedEx envelope had no relation to Kodak, so I had to call.
It took 2 weeks, but we got the call, the check was not real, of course! This one had been the MOST realistic!
So, beware, of these people, and always call to verify, because YOU will be the one that pays in the end!

LTD chix Tote bag review AND Giveaway!

I'm always on the run, and sometimes my purse just isn't enough to carry everything I bring with me. I've got the kids school paperwork, papers from hubbys business, mail, etc. Before, I would just throw it all into a shopping bag and go, BUT, it's a bit embarrassing to walk around with a Jewel bag full of junk!
So, when I saw that LTD Chix had Tote bags, I decided to give one a try! Of course, I picked the "Shopping Mom", I love to shop, it fits me well : ) I think it's so cute, and it's a pretty dark blue. What I really like is that it is roomy enough for me to take it in for a quick stop at the grocery store, and I can also use it for all of my papers and mail. Even with all that, I still had some room if I needed it! These bags are durable and great quality, and with all of the selections of "Mom types", theres sure to be a bag for everyone! They would make a great gift for the holidays, on their own, or filled with neat items for the gift reciever!

LTD chix also offers many tshirts and tanks and are VERY well priced! They also have sales all the time, so with the holidays coming up, mabye your own Mom would like a shirt!
