Stick a fork in me, I'm done! I finished up black friday and the main reason I did that was b/c certain items I needed were not on sale until then. My mum and her boyfriend were the last two people. Mum got : makeup from a small brand (she requested & I got a free gift for placing order on BF)...

I typically donate books. I had boxes and amazon wouldn't accept most of them, which was odd because some were special academic type books from college that were still on the same printing but I think they could tell it was an older year print. If you have lots of similar type books you could...

So last weekend I ordered two outfits from Macy’s for my nieces (one each). I settled on one getting a melissa&doug cookie set while the other gets the Keurig set so they can have coffee break together. I also got a two pack of puzzles, again one each. Super happy to have that wrapped up as...

I went to DL while 5 months pregnant so I followed their guide and even felt odd going on Pirates b/c of the drop lol. One thing you need to consider is how pregnancy affects your body. My first pregnancy my blood pressure got wonky a lot the first trimester into second as I normally have low...

Ohhh I don't know why but I think these are so fun. For some reason I keep getting an ad for the L'Occtaine one on facebook. I want the Bonne Maman jam one because I use their jams anyway and its still in stock on Amazon. Being a SAHM this will be a nice daily treat (especially b/c I plan on...

Target has their 25 off 100 toy sale so I just placed an order for my toddler. If you get your cart close to 100 it’s a 25% discount with the 5% red card so I will take that not to have to shop Black Friday deals. After this I need just two items for him :) What’s a good budget for an almost 2...

Yeah going through this now. I’ve never bought anything really expensive but I feel like they get gross so I want a new one very few years anyway (get rid of two few pounds of dead dust mights). I just bought a firm from ikea and it’s so firm it’s like a brick. I’m pregnant so I ended up using...

I found a good deal on cemetary tour on groupon when I went. I found some good weekday lunch specials for meals in fancier restaurants in touristy areas. The business district not far from the french quarter had good happy hour deals on dining. We bought a walking tour book in a gift shop for a...

My OBGYN was in network but I found out a few weeks before delivery that the hospital she delivers out of is out of network, but both same healthcare system. I think the total they charged our insurance for my labor/delivery/and 48 hr stay with my son was 150K. We just had co-pay but our...

I'm in a sorta opposite position. I'm within 15 minutes of EWR and sometimes the cheapest or only direct flights are from JFK. This leads to me to commute to the airport which is not always convenient but if its for a few hundred I'm willing to do it. There is a shuttle from PABT to EWR that is...

I stopped in my Barnes and Noble the other day because they had 50% off signs in the window and got two build a robot kits for my nephews. I do one gift and a stocking with candy/bubble bath/crayons etc. so I am done with them until the stocking stuffer sections appear at the stores. If you have...

My Target did have seasonal items and some toys mixed together. They had some Antsy Pantsy items, but just the kits, so with the starter pack it was more than I would spend on a play tent/house etc. I did find Garmin golf devices mixed in (maybe someone hid them there?) for 50% off which was a...

Mortgage as debt is just different than most other debt. Cars will depreciate. If you can't pay your student loans you can't hock your degree at a pawn shop. Credit card debit is often a chunk of interest and was spent on items that again can't be sold for value. So while a mortgage is debt it...

Oh thanks! Mine had nothing last week when I went so maybe I will make a trip tomorrow. I keep seeing clearance at Target and Walmart on social media but have found nothing at my stores really. The antsy kits would be perfect if I can find some as I have a half dozen toddlers to shop for lol.

I am going to start in the next week or two. I honestly used to stash gifts all year but it was mostly generic stuff I found on sale so I skipped it this year as we were planning on moving and it wasn't worth the hassle. I have lots of toddlers to shop for so I'm thinking about picking up some...

I went to Napa on my Honeymoon and we found a B&B type place to stay that was actually owned by Best Western, very reasonable prices. I think that area is nice as you have budget options or upscale options. We went to Santa Barbara and while it was nice it just didn’t feel as unique as we...

Lancaster has become a total tourist trap. There are some things to do but if I were you I would skip it on the most part as highways have expanded and chain restaurants are everywhere. We do go there occasionally for long weekends as we have friends in the area and there are less touristy...

We have an 18m but by about 9m he was tall enough to topple over the baby float thing we had. We got a swim school trainer thing that is a vest that slips over the head with a small inflatable ring and strap for between the legs. We kept it loose between his legs so it floated up to his armpits...

I did Disneyland for my baby moon at about 5.5 months pregnant. I was just starting to have back and ankle pain too (which turned out to be a full blown injury, so I guess I’m a real trooper for the mouse lol). I enjoyed the trip because we moved at a slower pace and had lower expectations...

Cocina cucomonga and Flos are two of our favorites, in part because we like to get a milkshake and linger watching the cars race by. I also felt smoke jumpers was better than most park burger places. Ghiradelli is great for a late breakfast ;). We have never eaten in DL, only DCA. We park hop...
