Five Finger Discounts

My baby is turning 5 today. She is SOOO excited about this age, and the fact that the dentist told her 2 days ago that her two bottom teeth were loose. I keep telling her she’s going to look like a jack-o-lantern but she doesn’t seem to mind:)

I received the Picaboo book in the mail yesterday and it’s all wrapped up and ready for Emma to open up. It came out REALLY nice. Can’t believe I was able to get it for just $9! It’s definitely a gift she’ll treasure for years.

My husband and Emma have been playing Lego Harry Potter on the PlayStation 3 for the last few days and Emma now thinks she IS Harry Potter. She’s been walking around the house with a dowel (as her wand), the manual from the game (as the marauders map), and wearing Harry’s glasses, which an owl delivered just yesterday (whole other story).

Above is a picture of her yesterday, on her way to Preschool. I’m so proud of her for being confident enough to wear the glasses and not worry about what others might say or think. She walked into class thinking she was Harry and continued to role play throughout the day. I think she’d make a great Harriet Potter. There’s an idea, J K Rowling:)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, EMMA. May all your dreams come true, my baby. I love you, Mommy

I just found out from My Baton Rouge Mommy that Picaboo is offering new customers a FREE large Classic book from October 15 to 25th by using code FALLBK.

I’m a little behind on my photobooks these days, so I spent the day today working on Emma’s birthday party from last year. I’ve always loved scrapbooking but can’t seem to find the time lately. Making a photobook is similar to scrapbooking whereas you choose pictures, backgrounds, text, borders, etc. I’ve made about 4 of these books for Mark and Emma in the last 5 years. Emma loves looking at them from time to time.

Grab one for yourself now…you’ll be happy you took the time to make it.

Please note that the cost of one 20-page Large Classic, Classic Leather, or Classic Custom photo book (up to $39.99) will be deducted from the order total. If the book contains more than 20 pages, you will be charged for the additional pages. Ground Shipping runs around $9 and takes 3-5 business days for delivery.

Thanks Baton Rouge Mommy!

Did you know that Ziploc now makes “Bisphenol A Free” containers? I was so excited to find them this week at Harris Teeter.

I only use plastic containers for storing dried foods like cereal, coffee, flour and nuts. If I’m warming up food in the microwave, I always use my Pyrex glass containers. I’ve heard a lot of negative things about using plastics in the microwave, so I don’t ever use them in there. I’m very happy to see that a company that I love so much is making the switch over to Bisphenol A Free products. That is very important to me. I will definitely switch all my existing containers over to these new ones little by little.

The Ziploc containers I purchased this week were a steal!

Ziploc Containers- BPA Free on sale for $2.50 (normally $3.49)
Used a $0.75 coupon which tripled
Final Price = $0.25 for a set of 4

I’m not going to run out and replace them all at once because that would be very pricey. I’m going to keep my eyes peeled for great deals like the one above and little by little I’ll replace a couple different shapes and sizes. I LOVE Ziploc bags and can’t live without them but when it comes to containers, I really do prefer glass. However, a few of these BPA Free containers on hand, will be good to have.

Make sure to look for the “BPA Free” symbol when you are purchasing these containers in the future.

This week’s CVS deals are brought to you by Coupon Kim. Thanks Kim!!!
