    07 August 2012

    we’re getting to the bottom of the list. School starts one week from today. I have mixed emotions about that one, but you know when your kids cry when you suggest going to the pool, it’s probably about time for school to begin. This was a nice change.august 2012 049 1

    Love it…but they are sold out/discontinued now. (here’s kind of a similar one?)

    26 July 2012

    A long time ago (almost 2 years), on a blog far, far away (okay, my blog.) I shared a deal. I told you that these shelf clips were 20% off at the Container Store with free shipping and that I had plans for them.shelf clip 2
    Well, I did, but I am just NOW getting around to using them. ‘Tis life around here.

    a garage full of old school maps

    18 July 2012

    Waaayyyy back at the beginning of the summer, an old school that had closed was having a yard sale.
    Why does it make me sad to see old schools close, even though there was a brand new, fancy, technological one to replace it? The flag in the window of the empty classroom just kind of put a lump in my throat…

    There was a line already before 8 a.m.:school sale 1

    deals 7.6.12

    06 July 2012

    * went to my Target this morning to check out their patio clearance, and mine is 70% off :) I guess they marked my store on the 4th (remember last year it was the 6th?), but there was still a good selection left….the weird thing at my store is that all of the summer accessories: beach towels, drink containers, etc. are still full price, but at my sister’s store they were also marked 70% off.  july 2012 001

    I picked up some furniture for our patio update..more on that later. You may want to check yours out! They also have some patio clearance online…but the in-store always seem to have deeper discounts.

    * Target also has an additional 10% + free shipping on their clearance shoes!

    * Amazon has 25 cent summer mp3 downloads here!

    * if you are ordering pizza this weekend, Papa Johns has a promo code 50off good for July7-9 for 50% off regular prices (select areas only) 

    Have fun! Feel free to add any deals that you know of in the comments~

    I love to share deals! Some of the companies I am affiliated with, some I am not. I hand select the deals I think are best~nobody pays me to share anything. Thanks :)

    Some things I learned at Haven 2012 * blog conference

    05 July 2012

    1. I have the best husband in the world. We were just coming off a 2 week vacation/family reunions. The original plan was to fly back all together, and then I would catch an early morning flight to Atlanta for the Haven Conference. My flight was canceled, so we  made some changes. I said goodbye to my husband, 5 kids, 7 carryons, 5 backpacks, 1 laptop bag, 1 stroller, 1 big honkin’ checked bag, 1 carseat, and 2 boosters in Houston. I flew to Atlanta, haven 8(by myself…in a glorious ROW to myself!) while they flew back to Baltimore, spend the night in a hotel, the next day they drove 5 hours back home, then drove my oldest daughter up to our church girls camp that afternoon. He is the BEST.

    painted american flag * pottery barn style

    29 June 2012

    This is a knock-off I have been wanting to do FOREVER. Well, for at least 4-5 years.
    Since I laid eyes on this. The Pottery Barn painted flag.
    But didn’t want to shell out $129, plus shipping, plus WAITING.
    So I got to work.
    Scavenged around downstairs to find a scrap piece of plywood leftover from the playroom closet.

    how to paint a brass chandelier * diy

    26 June 2012

    Hello, friends! We are back from vacation and Haven 2012. Well, kind of back. My body is here, brain is catching up. So much to share with you, but for right now I’m going to show you one of the next projects on our list: Hailey’s room. Because for some reason, it’s easier for me to share a quick little project than to try to put the past few weeks into words. Does that even make sense?
    Here is a $5 chandelier from a yard sale I shared with you over a YEAR ago. We move quickly around here, don’t we?
