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?

I am a working mom

It is no secret if you know me at all, I am a working mom.  I work full time. I leave my house at 6AM and barely make it home by 6PM, Monday through Friday.  And then I work overtime some nights and weekends...like today.  I am spending my Sunday working overtime.  And then I also do photography on the side to make extra money. And I am active in my church's childrens ministry.  It gets to be alot.  Our lives are very hectic and sometimes I wonder if it's worth it. Are my priorities right? I believe my work is important.  I believe my work is necessary for my families survival.  Sometimes my work is needed for my sanity.  Even with a crazy work enviorment, sometimes it is mental break I need to function at home. However, as my children get older, the more I realize that I am missing thier lives.  I've daydreamed about becoming a stay at home mom, but let me tell you, the numbers don't work.  Even if we gave up all the ammenities...

Do not write regarding any particular product more than twice in a year. Do not write any particular parent company more than four time is a month (or once a week). Be honest in what you write, give feed back, ask questions. (NOTE: While I have these categorized by parent company, I never wrote to any parent company more than one time in a day.)

Mommy Kisses

WARNING: YOU MAY NOT WANT TO READ THIS POST WHILE EATING... My daughter has been sick since Thursday, running a high fever. Luckily its just an ear infection and not the flu. However early Sunday morning (and I stress Early, well before 8AM) my dogs started barking and woke Shiloh up. Since I was not ready to get up, and she didn't look like she was ready to face the world either, I took her into my room and laid back down with her. I was in a light doze, and she seemed to go in and out of dozing with some wiggling in between. After one wiggling bout, she started whining and I opened my eyes just wide enough to see her holding her hand in the air. Now at 19 months old, we are heavily following the "I hurt it, so mommy kisses it and its all better" philosophy. I naturally assumed the hand or finger had been pinched, rolled on, or otherwise "hurt" and needed a mommy kiss so we could both go back to sleep. I kissed it, and that is when I realized...THERE WAS ...
