Sweet deals for last minute shoppers!!

So I got my glass straws from Cherry Glass on etsy.  They are super cute!!  And as a bonus very sturdy!  I had to make a vodka cranberry just to test it out and was pleasantly surprised.  They are thicker then normal straws, so that took a bit of getting used to.. but other than that they were awesome!!  I love how easy to clean they are too.. and you can even put them in the dishwasher :)  So far, glass straws are a success!  Justin even used one with no complaints!  The next test is how do they work for the daughter.. they are a bit big for her right now.. so I need to find a special kids size straw.. and then I can find out how resilient they really are!!

So the Holidays are crazy!

I have been slacking big time!  It's been a while since I've posted so let me see if I can fill you in on some details.  I hosted my first Thanksgiving this year and surprisingly everything went very well!  We've also took avantage of the time off to do a little more light renovations in the house. Just paint and carpet removal.  Lots of fun though!  During our cooking extravaganza I needed to grease a pan... reaching for a papertowel I noticed the roll was empty.  I didn't even realize it, but thanks to my large collection of towels that I now keep in the kitchen we've officially been papertowel free for at least a month!  It's amazing!  I really don't even miss them!  So you may be wondering what I used to grease my pan then.. one of those awesome silicon brushes!  Duh, don't know why I wasn't going for that in the first place :)

Here are some promising freebies!  My mailbox has been endlessly full of free dog food samples, shampoo's and conditioners.  I've been slacking though, so I'm sure there will be a free sample lull until I get back on track.  Here's to trying to get more freebies!

Let the Turkey Day Frenzy Begin!!

So this year I am cooking Thanksgiving dinner for the first time... well.. the first time with actual guests!  Not counting the one turkey day that hubby and I did together when we were dating.  That was a crazy fiasco where I decided I needed to make my OWN whipped cream and apparently everyone was sold out!  Long story short I went home with a traffic ticket for not coming to a complete stop leaving a gas station.. and no heavy whipping cream!

This year will be different.. I already have the whipping cream ;)

But it won't be short of insanity.  Early morning I am going out to hit up CVS and Rite Aid.  Both retailers are starting their black friday sale on Thursday.  If you haven't seen them yet or don't get the newspaper or sign up for online emails, you can check out their ad scans here!  Both stores have quite a few free items if you have their discount/rewards cards.  By free I mean you pay for them upfront, but get print outs for discounts on your next shopping visit.  I like this because not only do I get some items I may need or want for a discount, but I can use the print out $$ on purchases of items that are not usually on sale.  I think you ulitimately want to use print outs to buy things that give you more print outs so you essentially never have to actually pay for anything again.. but I haven't mastered this art yet.  I still feel obligated to only get things I actually will use, which doesn't always coincide with there rewards $$ sales!

Then after all the fun and festivities I will be heading to Toy's R Us.  They are starting their black friday sale on Thursday.  They will be having additional sales of toys on Friday not included on Thursday, but lucky me everything I want to snatch up for Eve is onsale Thursday.  Tag Jr. books will be on sale for $7.49 and with a few of these print out coupons I should be able to score her books for $2.50 each.  You have to watch a video and enter a sweepstakes, but then you can print the coupon twice.  I am hoping these coupons are good for Tag Jr. books as well as Tag books.  Only time will tell!!  There was also a $3 off coupon in the November Parenting magazine.. not as good as $5, but still a great discount!  In the meantime, here is a freebie book!

FREE LeapFrog Tag or Tag Junior Book

To snag a free LeapFrog Tag or Tag Junior book just head on over here to snag a FREE LeapFrog Tag book or Tag Junior Board Book ($10.99 value)!
