Short and Sweet

Ok...So here we go. This post is going to be short and sweet (hence the title...I'm clever like that) and full of deals for you guys. Once I get my computer fixed which will probably be when husband and I get back from vacay I will be posting more frequently. With Christmas rapidly approaching I really want to stay on top of my game with savings and share those savings with you all!! So let's get right into it!!


If you ask most mom's what they dread doing the most the popular vote will probably be going grocery shopping. However, I love it. My husband hates to go and so therefore momma makes him stay at home with one kid, maybe 2 while I venture out to the grocery. It's my "me" time. Whoop Whoop! But for those of you that hate going to the grocery I have a little steal for you. Right now you can go to Schwanns.com fill your cart full of yummy goodness, register(if you aren't already) and put in the code FIFTYOFF and get 50%off your order. What's even better is you can do it from your couch and not even have to worry about taking those PJ's off! You go girl! No...seriously...go now and do it!

Another steal for you..This will be great for mom's who have older girls or if you have sisters or whatever! Awesome Christmas gift!  Y'all have heard me go on and on about my NUME wand before. I don't just LOVE it....I LURRRRVVVEEE it! Nothing curls my hair quite like a NUME. Well right now you can go to www.NuMe.com and get any 2 Classic or Magic Curling wands for 39.00 plus 11.00 for shipping! Put in the promo code HIP2SAVEWANDS at checkout making your total 50.00!! While you're at it go over to HIP2SAVE.COM and checkout her great deals and finds!

Y'all I have a problem...and that problem is KOHLS...Seriously...I love that place. So here ya go especially for you cardholders. When checking out at www.kohls.com put in these promo codes for huge savings. FASHION10 (10.00 off 40.00), TREAT30 (30%OFF FOR CARDHOLDERS, HAYRIDE for 15% off for non cardholders and) and MVC4FREE gives you free shipping. CHA CHING! There ya have it! Money back in your pocket!

Okay guys, that's all I have for you right now and as always if y'all have any question let me know! I'll do my best to answer! Hopefully by the end of the week (more like Sunday) I will have brand new deals for you! I am going to get coupons today and look through store ads so I can have more in store savings next week!

Mother Moments

So I know that I said I was going to post yesterday but I had a little guy at home that was extra cuddly and we fell asleep together so the blog fell to the wayside. #sorrynotsorry. Anyways on my way to work this morning I was thinking about things to blog and deals and if you know me you know I get side tracked ummmm fairly easily. So I was thinking about something semi funny that happened the day before and it got me on a whole new blogging subject. Being a mom has taught me so much and I have done so many things that I never thought I would do. Pizza for breakfast? Yep it's happened. Dessert before dinner, done it. And you know you're not a mom when you are at the grocery store and see a kid pitching a fit and look over at someone and say "UH, my kid will NEVER act like that." Get over yourself. Yes they will. They may only do it once...but yes it will happen. Then it got me to thinking about if someone just heard parts of conversations what in the world they would think. I have yelled, ahem said more odd things that I would never think would come out of my mouth...Here are a few things that yes, I have had to say to my children while being a mother.

"Get your butt off of the oven." Oh, I've had to say this one several times. My dear sweet son has a habit of taking his undies off and putting his bare against the oven door while dinner is cooking. Seriously kid?

"Don't sneeze in my mouth." Yes my child literally tried to open my mouth and sneeze in it. Same child as above.

"Quit licking me." Please someone PM me and tell me I am not the only one who has a child that does this. He will just go up to me and try to lick my face like he is a puppy dog. Lord help me. I wish I didn't have to say it but yes same child as above. Anyone see a pattern here with this one. 

"Don't stick that in the plug in!" Fork, spoons, straws whatever we can get our hands on. We are moving past this stage thanking the good Lord we made it out alive. Okay I know what you are thinking...is your house not baby proofed?  Please I have a billion of those plastic thingies and either they are a joke or my kids are geniuses. I vote the latter.

These are just a few of the things that I have had to say that has made me question my sanity. Trust me there are more. But that is for another day and another blog. On to what I do best. COUPONING! Here are a few deals that you really really don't want to miss out.

A few deals and a Praise Report

I have to start this post by giving praise to my heavenly Father. My niece Cadence was baptized earlier today. I have prayed and prayed for Cadence since the day she was born. Just like I pray for my own children's salvation daily I lifted her up and about a year ago my prayers were answered when she accepted Jesus into her life. A few weeks ago she was talking about wanting to be baptized. We had discussed it before but nerves always got the best of her but today she made her proclamation and allegiance to Jesus and I couldn't be happier. If you know me at all you know how much I love my nieces and nephews. They are like my own and to witness this change in her life has me in tears. PRAISE THE LORD!!

A late Monday Menu

So I haven't posted a recipe in a few weeks and so I will start with that. Tonight we are having the sweet and sour chicken that I mentioned in a few posts below and sometimes when I make chinese food I make yum yum sauce for the rice. If you have never been to a japenese restaurant and tried the sauce it is amazeballs. Did I just say amazeballs? Gross...I hate it when people say that. Okay...so anyways my sister gave me this recipe a few years ago and it has been a staple in my house for a while. When I tell people I can make it they usually just roll their eyes at me but when they try it I usually give them that "yea, IN YO FACE"! look because they love it. Enough talking here's the recipe....tweak it to however you like because some like it a little sweeter some don't. This is a recipe that you can definitely change up. Here ya go!

1-1/4 cup	Hellmann's mayonnaise-Yes it has to be Hellmann's. And no lowfat, nonfat, reduced fat versions. The good ol' tried and true full fat version is what ya need!
1/4 cup	water
1 teaspoon	tomato paste
1 tablespoon	melted butter
1/2 teaspoon	garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoon	sugar-use a little more...little less...taste as ya go!
1/4 teaspoon	paprika
	A dash of cayenne pepper-I use a little more about 1/2tsp because I like things spicy.  Okay here is what ya do. Whisk everything together and refigerate over night. Let me stress YOU HAVE TO LET IT REFIGERATE. It will not taste right if you don't. I usually keep it in a tupperware container in the fridge and it keeps for about a week. Let me know what ya think!

To Do's

I am feeling a little overwhelmed as the holiday season is approaching. My to do list is a mile long and my time frame to do it in seems like minutes. I am in charge of cooking the Turkey and desserts for this years Thanksgiving dinner with my family. I am cooking coconut cream pie (husbands favorite), apple pie, peanut butter pie and pecan. I am also going to make a banana pudding. With working 3 days prior to Thanksgiving I see a few late nights and early mornings in my future but totally worth it. I love this time of year. My sisters and I are pretty close usually we all pile up in a car (there are 4 of us) and go shopping. Love it!

Friday! Friday! Friday!

I am going to go ahead and apologize now for my lack of posts recently. I have scored some amazing deals this week but haven't had the chance to share. We had big big changes this week. I finally have a job! This is something that we have been praying about for quite some time. I have been a stay at home mom for almost two years and it's not that I didn't enjoy my time with my sweet babies I just knew that it was time for me to go back to work. I function better that way. I started my new job this week so with working 8 hours a day and a 45 minute commute to and from home I've been busy! Forgive me? Good! Now onto some amazing deals!


I am so excited about this. I am a huge makeup junkie. I love love love makeup so I have been checking Ulta's website daily for the black friday ad....And it just came out today!! Woot! Woot! Click here and check it out. Lorac Pallets for 12.00 and Big Sexy Hair for 6.99...(say whaaaaa!!)






Okay guys and I know I am a little late on this one but Wal-Mart is price matching Black Friday Ad's TODAY!  Take in your ad's or pull them up on your phone and head to Wal Mart tonight to get some early shopping done and spend more time with your family on Thursday and Friday.

Let me take just a quick second and say that price matching isn't a terrible thing when being honest. Walmart released a few weeks ago that they would price match with certain online retailers such as Amazon. So what several dishonest people have done was make up fake Amazon accounts and make fake ad's and price matched them. Hello Playstation4 for 99.00...seriously...this happened. So be honest.
