What to buy THIS week for Easter 2/8/19

I know, I know. Easter is still 2 months away. That makes this the PERFECT time to stock up on summer clothes (because they will go OFF clearance in a just a few short weeks) and to buy items from online companies that ship from China.

Bonus: Crazy 8 and Gymboree have announced they are going out of business. This means some excellent deals on what is left of their inventory.

Here is what I'm buying this week:

(Disclaimer: These were the prices and items in stock on the dates I wrote/researched for this post 2/5-2/7/19. Prices and availability are subject to change.)


For the Baby:

If you are already placing an Amazon order, add this teether on to your order for $3.54.

With Gymboree and Crazy 8 going out of business, I would also shop for headbands, bows, hats and socks. You may even find some deeply discounted outfits.


For the Toddler:

I am digging these faux wood sunglasses sunglasses for boys and these sparkle sunglasses for girls from Gymboree ($2.97 each). Go ahead and check out the deals on the rest of the Gymboree sight to stock up on clothes for the coming summer season too!

Also, now is a good time to start watching the discounted movie bin at Walmart!

For the Little Kid:

Go on over to Crazy 8 for an amazing deal on summer tanks. Your little girl is sure to love this rainbow tank and your little boy will be extra awesome in this awesome tank, for $2.97 each.  They also have a ton of accessories for under $2.

Go ahead and buy some character toiletry items. Make bath time more fun with these Paw Patrol 3 in 1 shampoo, conditioner and body wash.

For the Big Kid:

This week, I stocked up on Abercrombie Kids summer clothes. Their shipping rate is really reasonable and if you sign up for their rewards card, you will get a $10 off $50 coupon (which I didn't use this time, because I only spent $20). This girls logo shirt is under $7 and this boys logo shirt is only $9.99. They also have shorts on sale for both for around $12.

This is also a good time to head on over to Wish to buy some sports or favorite character items. They have a variety of sports bracelets like these for $2 including shipping. They also have necklaces, headbands and hats. Your kid not into sports? They also have a magnificent collection of Harry Potter items and Fortnight shirts for cheap. Pay attention to sizing, they tend to run small so your big kid may very well wear an adult small or medium.  These items can take anywhere from two weeks to about a month to get to you, so don't wait to order these items. I have ordered items I never received but the refund process was quick and painless (next day after the item didn't arrive by 1 week after the expected delivery date.) I have received over 90% of the items I ordered, so overall for the price, it is a win!

For the Tween:

I found a coupon code for these bluetooth earbuds that made them $11. The coupon code is IAXGHIMA. The expected delivery date isn't until March, and I don't know how long the coupon code will last.

Now is also a good time to go ahead and look for a decent pocket knife or stock up on some cosmetics.

For the Teen:

Ok, so I actually bought two pairs of the earbuds above, one for my teen and one for my tween. Both American Eagle and Hollister are running sales right now. Hollister has this swim separates like this cute emroideried top for $9.99. They also have these charcoal board shorts for $19.99. If you join their rewards program, you will get a coupon off AND once you earn a certain amount of points, you will get FREE shipping on EVERY order! Yay!

This week is also a good week to raid your local dollar store for the best tech accessories. These will go fast once other people start thinking about Easter. My favorite find was a cell phone stand at Dollar Tree. This will come in handy for making videos or video chatting with friends with out having to hold the phone the entire time.

For the Adult:

I don't know many adults who would not like this wireless charging pad on Amazon for under $12. It is a daily deal, but I have noticed the tech deals seem to renew every day for about a week. Keep checking!

This is also a good week to check out the kitchen spoons, can openers and other gadgets at Walmart, Target and Dollar General, especially if you are looking for spring colors.



That is what I bought this week. What did you buy? Do you know of any good deals I should check out?

Carnival Cruise Tips for Families

Our family just returned from an 8 day cruise on the Carnival Horizon. While I and my husband have cruised before (many years ago), this was our first cruise with the kids and it was different. I have several friends that are planning or wanting to go on a cruise, so I thought I would write a little bit about our experience, in hopes that it will help someone else with their planning.  If their is interest in any certain area, I will gladly make another post that goes more in depth on that subject. BEFORE YOU GO 1. Unless you live in Florida (or near another port) and don't mind taking a 3 day cruise on the fly, book well in advance. The fairs are cheaper, you have longer to pay and you will have your pick of dining times and excursions. You can also just pay the deposit now and have until 90-75 days before your cruise to finish paying it off. 2. Social Media is your friend. Go ahead and find out who your cruise director will be and follow him on social media. He/She wi

6 Ways to Love on.....Everyone. And a rebuttal.

I don't normally post religious things.  I find my own personal take on religion to be.....quirky at time.  However, I recently saw an article floating around the web that was written by what I assume is a 20 something single lady.  It was how she felt single women need to be loved on by married persons in a church congregation.  You can read it here . I found parts of the article to be sound theory and spot on, while other parts were, shall we say misguided.  By the end of the article, I was also thinking, why are there so many separate "groups" in a church and how we all need to be loved on, not just one group.  So here is my humble rebuttal (based on my life and experiences) and also a simple blue print on how you can love on anyone in your church congregation....or anyone in the world. In response to “Six ways to Love Single Women:"               1.   Words are hurtful.  People should choose their words carefully, I agree.  God has many reasons for not

Disney World, What You REALLY Need to Know.

After a full year of saving and a lot of research and budgeting (and a tremendous amount of help from my parents) we did it.  We took the kids to Disney World.  I went to Disney World several times as a child, but neither of my kids nor my husband has ever been.  It had also been 18 years since I myself had been.  A LOT has changed. After doing tons of research, Pinning everything Disney related, talking to my Disney expert friends and budgeting EVERYTHING, I was in information overload.  Not all advice was practical for our situation (we avoided character dining due to our budget) and admittedly I blew off advice (read: ponchos) because I thought I knew better.  There were also some things that I wish someone had told me (Breakfast in the Magic Kingdom? Good Luck!) So below is what I learned and what I would want to know before visiting Disney World: BUDGET HELPERS: All Disney souvenirs can be bought off Disney property and online, usually for cheaper.  Buy most o
