Furniture Tip Over Safety

Friday, August 28th, 2009

Safe Kids USA shares tips to prevent furniture tip-overs in this video. Regardless of your child’s abilities and limitations, top-heavy furniture, TVs and appliances can tip over and seriously injure young children. There are many easy-to-install devices that anchor furniture to the wall, making furniture more stable and tip-over resistant. These devices are designed for dressers, wall units and anything your little explorer might try to climb.

A Shopping I Will Go

Saturday, August 15th, 2009

Can you believe that we finally I have a free weekend? I can’t. I have a breakfast I need to go to tomorrow, and then that’s it! I think we may get the kids hair cut, but that’s all we have planned! We don’t have another one of these weekends for months, so I am excited (can you tell?). That being said — we definitely need some stuff at the house, so I’ll probably spend today shopping.

One of the places I know I will stop is Kmart. Did you know they brought their BlueLight Specials? It’s awesome — though they aren’t quite as crazy as they were when we were kids (well, this is a different Kmart, so that may have something to do with it). The BlueLight specials are today only (8/15), so make sure you check them out! Some of the specials include:

  • Kids Backpacks (Athletech, Route 66 and Licensed) reg. $19.99 – Bluelight $8!
  • American Fare Vita-Water 2 for $1
  • All Patio Furniture 70% off! (+ an extra 20% off during bluelight!)
  • 70 count Notebooks – Buy 2 Get 1 Free
  • Diamond Jewelry extra 10% (Diamonds are already 70% off this week!)

On top of these great sales, they will be having at least 40 Kmart Bluelight specials for you to take advantage of.  What do you say?  Are we going shopping today? (And make sure that you followKmart on Twitter for more great deals!)Click Here

Retail Therapy

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

Nothing else makes you feel more than buying yourself something nice.  As mom, I will be honest, that doesn’t happen too often.  However, when I do actually buy myself something nice, I like to go all out (since I rarely do it).  One thing that you can get yourself is a great pair of jeans. When I went to the Mom It Forward event a couple of months ago, I was talking to Liz Strauss. She told me it was soooo worth spending the extra money and getting yourself a pair jeans that truly fit you. Not only do they look better, they make you feel better too.

Now, no matter how great a pair of jeans looks there is no way I am going to spend over $1,000 on a pair of jeans. However, the Armani Exchange has New Premium Denim starting at $98. That is a price I can afford. Also, if you purchase a full price pair of denim from Armani Exchange, in store or online between 7/7/09 – 7/19/09, you will receive a gift card of $20 off you next purchase of $100 or more. Here are a couple of jeans I would definitely pick up:

These are three styles that I think are cute and would definitely wear. Now, they also are running an awesome text A|X contest. They are giving away a pair of denim every day for the month of July. To enter, all you have to do is text the keyword “DENIM2″ to ARMANI (276264).

If you are needed a little retail therapy or just want a new pair of jeans, make sure you check out the Armani Exchange first!

Hell Froze Over aka Why I Love My Hubby

Sunday, August 31st, 2008

NOTE:  If you are reading this by a feedreader this may be a duplicate post for you.  Hint of advice to everyone, don’t write a post while you have DNS changes going on or it’ll get eaten.  :)

I know, interesting title.  But see, you have to know what the last week was like in my house.  Last weekend we were gone to a wedding.  All week, the earliest my hubby came home from work was 7 pm.  Needless to say, the house was a wreck.  On top of all that, I was changing hosting due to many issues with Bluehost (which I will blog about later!).

Hell froze over because well, the hubby actually got it into his head that we needed to clean the house.  Not only that, he helped.  We went from room to room and actually cleaned the majority of the house.  He actually got on his hands and knees and cleaned the tub.  He used an old toothbrush to clean the jets on the whirlpool.  That’s what a good job he did.  We rearranged the living room again too!  After the kids went to bed last night, he also went grocery shopping and managed to spend less than $200 too!  (However, some of his choices were not so good so I’ll be going back, but I am not complaining.)

It feels good to have a semiproductive weekend.  This afternoon we will be going to one of his friend’s house for a little party, and I am not sure what we have in store for tomorrow.
