Spending more of my birthday money

My Thoughts, Ideas, and Ramblings - A day in the life of a busy mom . . .

Well, last weekend I spent half of my birthday money buying myself some towels. Actually, I think they are called bath sheets. They are the really huge ones. Now, I know a lot of people don’t like them (because they keep telling me that!), but I love them which is why I spent my birthday money on them. Now, I also want some nice shirts. I own a ton of T-shirts which is great around the house. However, when we go out (as few times as we do), I would like something nice to wear. Plus, this year, I will be attending several conferences, and I would really like some nice tops to where.

That is where Sears comes in. Did you know they are having an awesome clearance sale right now? They have a ton of awesome stuff at 75% – 80% off! Who doesn’t like to shop with those kind of sales? One of the tops I definitely like is this one:

It comes in several different colors too! Best of all, it is on sale for $7.79 (regular price $44). Who doesn’t love a deal like that? With those kind of savings, I can definitely find quite a few outfits for myself. Make sure to check Sears out for your next shopping trip!

The winner of my Sears gift card giveaway was Oona! I am super excited for her, and according to her comment, she was going to get a toaster. I have a feeling that she’ll have some money left over after that so hopefully she can get some some snow chains or something nice for herself.

I’d also like to thank all the people who entered the contest. I love doing giveaways, and I was glad to see so many people who entered. Keep reading, because I plan on having quite a few new, great giveaways coming up for this year!

Granting Wishes at Sears

My Thoughts, Ideas, and Ramblings - A day in the life of a busy mom . . .

TThis post is sponsored, but the ideas, thoughts and ramblings are my own.

Since having kids, I turned into a big softie. Yes, I’ll actually admit it. I cry at things I never would have before, and I think about things that never would have crossed my mind before having kids. I’ll be honest here — I get all teary eyed at Sears new commercials. Their new campaign is about how one gift can change someone’s life. Since I absolutely love Ty Pennington, I thought I’d show you what he had to say:

Okay, now that I’ve got myself composed again, I need to tell you what wishes Sears answered for my family. I was provided a $100 gift card from Sears that we were able to use this weekend.

Bill and I bundled the kids off early yesterday morning and headed off to Sears. I luck out since Sears is actually walking distance from my house, and we actually shop their quite a bit — off the top of my head, we got a bench, our snowblower, and our lawnmower from there. However, on this trip, we had no idea what we were going to get. My Christmas shopping is pretty much done, so we were going to try to find something for the kids.

The first place we checked out was the outdoor decorations. Madison is always wanting more for our yard, and this isn’t something we spend a lot of money on. Shortly after this picture was taken, Will decided to lay on the floor and talk to one of the deer that they had for a decoration. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get the camera out fast enough to get that embarrassing photo of him. Nothing really caught our eye in this department, so we headed over to toys. Of course, there were a lot of toys to pick from, but really, my kids don’t need another $100 worth of toys right before Christmas, and we don’t need another credit card. Since the favorite part of any store for my husband is electronics, we headed to that department.

Once we were in electronics, my husband immediately walked towards the TVs even though we really don’t need one. Plus, $100 doesn’t really buy a TV (or at least not the ones he was looking at). Madison was being her normal hyper self running around looking at things until she saw the guitar hero bundle. Yes, that is my whole family playing Guitar Hero in Sears. Madison asked us if we could buy her the drums.

Now, the school district I live in has cut the art and music programs from the curriculum and will not be adding them back. I have written many posts on this blog about how awful I think this situation is and how I feel that music definitely is a class that should not be cut. My daughter loves to play instruments and sing. I can’t imagine depriving her of it. With the $100 Sears gift card, we will be able to fulfill her wish and give her the additional music support she will not be getting from our school. Who knows — Madison may end up to be talented singer, dancer, in a band, etc. However, I’d love to give her the stepping stones she needs to reach her full potential. (Plus, well, Guitar Hero is fun for mom and dad too. Dad was all over getting it when I told him there was 3 Tool songs and Freak On A Leash by Korn. I also need to add that the gift card paid for a portion of the cost of this bundle. I paid the rest.)

Since we got such an awesome family gift from Sears, I’d like to extend this awesome opportunity to one of my readers. Yes, I’d like to give you a $100 gift card to Sears to use however you like.
