Kohl's sale!

KOHL'S SALE!!! Save 60-80%, that's a great savings! With back to school approaching, cringe, you may want to hop on in to your nearest Kohl's store and pick up a few new summer items for those first few weeks/months of hot weather!!!
You may be lucky enough to have a 10, 20, or 30% off coupon, which you can also use on the sale items.

Example:

Buy $100.00 worth of cleanced Summer items.
80% off will take that $100.oo down to only $20.00 (before tax)
Use your coupon, lets say for 20% off of the 20.00, and only spend $16.00 plus tax!!!

This is also a great time to buy for next year. Happy shopping!!!

My Kmart shopping trip, it's a work in progress. I had never done the double couponing, and NEVER shop at Kmart! Here is a rundown...

3 Huggies little swimmers - 3.99 each = 11.97

4 Huggies Wipes - .99 each = 3.96

I got an additional $28.oo off because my total on the Huggies BEFORE coupons was $100.00 (split into TWO transactions of over $50.00 each)

TOTAL 56.84 - 28 = 28.86

5th of July?

Tonight we finally got to enjoy the fireworks!!! Rowan and I went back to Franklin, and YEP the fireworks were amazing!!! :-) Rowan loved the "boom booms"; he kept pointing to them and saying, "WOW!!!". So sweet. He was not afraid of them at all, which surprised me. He is still talking about the fireworks. It's cute to watch him. I'll try to get a video. All the way home, he kept turning around and blowing kisses, "bye bye boom booms, thank you, MUAHHHH!!!" Precious, right?

pretty blog

Well, perhaps a new layout will intice me to be more proactive on this blog! Teeheehee

We are hoping everyone had a wonderful and happy Independance Day!!! The celebrations were abruptly haulted here lastnight due to the rain. DARN RAIN!!! Rowan did get to play with his bestie, Kayli, and we did sparklers and went to a cookout at Kayli's Aunt Brandi's house. It was fun to get out and be amongst other adults for a change!!!
Hopefully the fireworks will be going tonight. Rowan wants boom booms!!!
