What I Wore Sunday

Here are a couple of my latest What I Wore Sunday outfits!

 Again, I am loving the shopping and the outfits I am finding for church.

Up first, this grey skirt is from New York and Co.. This store has quickly become a favorite of mine. There is always a sale going on. I get emails from them daily and am pretty sure John is going to ban their emails from my email account any day now. The sheer(peach/grey stripe) top is from Old Navy. I loved it so much that I went back and bought the black and tan one...sure to make its appearance very soon! The grey t-shirt underneath is from Down East Basics. I love their fitted t-shirts and am collecting all of the colors, one by one! I think everyone should have one of each color in their closet. The necklace is from Old Navy and my tiny silver earning were found at New York and Co..

I found this super fun black and white A-line dress at Old Navy (on sale). It is a tank top dress so I added a black fitted t-shirt from Down  East Basics underneath. The black cardigan is from Old Navy and so are the red bracelets. Red necklace is from Charming Charlie's and the red heels are Madden Girl found at Famous Footwear.

 This outfit, minus the black shirt was purchased from Down East Basics. The black shirt was purchased at Target. The maxi skirt was on sale and so was the cardigan. Belt was a last minute add to the pile to complete the outfit. This skirt has quickly has become one of my favorites. I love all of the fun colors in the skirt. I am thinking I may need a job at Down East Basics to support my shopping habits :).

The weight loss/getting fit journey needed to happen. I feel better and have a ton more energy. At the end of the day, I have decided that the journey was all worth even if it was just for the fun shopping factor.

Happy shopping, friends!

{6 cents}

Look what I picked up for just 6 cents.


Yes, you read that right...when all was said and done, I paid 6 cents.

Here's what I picked up.
2 bottles of Hawaiian Tropic sunscreen
3 bags of Double Bubble gum(my boys love this stuff)
2 boxes of Stove Top stuffing
1 box of thumb tacks (not on sale, just needed them to hang 4th of July stars)

So here's how it worked.
After my ECB's(Extra Care Bucks) and manufacturer coupons, my total at the register was $10.06.



When you buy 2 bottle of Hawaiian Tropic sunscreen at CVS this week, you receive $10.00 in ECB's. ECB's are like money at CVS. I can then turn around and spend them on anything in the store.


It has been a great week in the world of coupon shopping. Earlier this week, I picked up two big boxes of Huggies(60 count). They were on sale for $19.99. When all was said and done(ECB's & manufacturer coupons), I was paid $2.00 to take the boxes out of the store. I was able to do this deal twice :-). I love getting diapers for free. I am hoping these are the last boxes of diapers I will have to purchase in my parenting career...wish me luck!

Darn you Target!!!






















I try to avoid you like the plague. I have just learned that I can't shop at your stores. I can't stick to my lists upon entering your doors. I know this about myself & that is why I have basically grounded myself from your stores. Well, I had a bunch of coupons for a steal of a deal on granola bars & so i decided to visit you today. I even gave myself a little pep talk while making my way to your Fairway location. I told myself I was going to run in & run out with my super steal of a deal on granola bars AND that was it. Well, I purchased my cheap granola bars alright AND a few extra things that I told myself I didn't need.

First I couldn't pass up this cute little Easter outfit for Brody.





















I even tried to purchase the blue version for Garrett but he flat out told me he didn't like it & wasn't not going to wear it. It was quite the conversation, still makes me giggle.

And then I saw this cuteness.














Let me preface this by saying, if you stop by my house between 7-9 am, you will usually find me totally dressed for the day WITH an apron on & no I am not baking-LOL! I have been asked that several times. A few years back, I tried to follow the FLY lady website. While this site has some great tips/techniques for getting your home & life in order, I decided that it was not for me. I did take and still use some of her valuable suggestions & ideas...one of them being to get yourself fully dressed before you begin your daily routine each morning. I have learned that 7-9 am is my time to clean & get things in order for the day. I wear my apron so I don't ruin my clothes while scrubbing a toilet or scouring the kitchen sink. Okay, I am thinking you probably think I am a little weird right about now...what I am trying to say is that this simple, cute little apron from Target makes me happy. I am cleaning in style now!

So, darn you Target. Once again, I am grounding myself from you. Until I can learn to stick to the list, I won't be shopping with you.
I will tell you that I purchased 10 boxes of Quaker Granola bars for for $5.00 plus tax & that I do appreciate that deal.
