You can also find it in my sidebar in case you need it in the future.
My February shopping trip was another post bed time escape. This time I brought my friend Anna along with me and I completely failed to take a selfie with her. She is often the voice of reason on our shopping trips and a fellow bargain hunter so it only made sense that she joined me for the fun.
We began our shopping trip in the place where pretty much every shopping trip begins, the dollar spot. However things were pretty bare over there since they are mid switching out seasons. I did find a few items to consider though.

16 Butterflies, these would make two little girls very happy.

Chalk eggs. I passed on these last year but the girls would love them.

Some buckets to replace our current pencil holders (that drive me crazy) might be a wise choice.

More milk bottles for spring?!

Lets get them for every season!

With the dollar spot ideas in the back of my head we headed off to see what else we could find.

Because who doesn't need extra long french fry socks?! They were only $1.75

I think I know a little girls who would be perfect for this hat that was on clearance for 2.98

Hands in the air if you used to wear socks like these!

For 1.98 I was halfway tempted to "humiliate" my girls too ;). 

A new gym shirt could be fun and this shirt is totally true. 

Plus it was marked down to $3.88

I really need a new pair of gloves since I ripped my last pair. 

Water bottle holder for M's bike was a good idea.

And lastly this table runner, I LOVE table runners. I was having a hard time imagining if this one would work well in my dining room. But for $6.48 it might be worth a try.

With a cart of options I made my choices and headed up to the register.

Here is what I picked.

How did it all add up?

#Fail

I clearly underestimated the savings of my REDcard and how much tax would be. This month I went over by 59 cents. For a second I thought about having her take off those adorable butterflies, but I just couldn't do it. I'll work on my math skills and try and do better next month.

However I do feel like I should point out that if I had paid full price with my REDcard discount and tax my total would have been 29..68! (I used a calculator for that one)

Not bad at all, huh?!

Now it is your turn to link-up and let us know how you did this month.
The link-up is open through the 28th, so there is still time to join the fun!

And make plans to join us the third Monday of every month.
Next months date is March 21st!

2015 Blogger Year In Review Link-up

Let's be honest there are certain things that bloggers want to talk about that the "outside world" just doesn't quite get. Like how we can talk about someone we have never met like they are our sister, blog growth, monetization, and blog tricks that we've finally figured out. We love our friends and readers who aren't bloggers and keeping coming back (Hi Anna & Cindy) but every once in a while they might just give us a your crazy or I don't get it look. 
So blogger to blogger, I am inviting you to share those things and link-up for a 2015 Blogger Year In Review.

So much can change and happen in one year. We would love to hear about your big moments.
We want to hear about your year. What is it that we want you to share on those Fridays in December? It's super simple. Here are some writing prompts to get your mind working and reflecting on your blog experience this year:

Share your top 5 posts - either most visited, most shared or ones that you just love and had an overwhelming amount of support on. 

Break up your posts from the year and share your best in any of the following categories - food, fitness, books, family, craft, health, parenting, how to, tips and trick, etc. 

Share five new blogs you've discovered - (I can't possibly know of all the good bloggers) Share your newest discoveries from the year.

Share with us blog posts that you've read this year, loved and think we should read too. 

Blogging is a never-ending learning experience. Share with us five lessons you've learned this year about blogging.

Have you been blogging awhile and think you have tips or tutorials that others could benefit from? Share five tips to make blogging easier for yourself or others in the new year. 

Share your personal blog growth. Have you grown your social outlets. Share your success. This is your chance to brag about your numbers.

Friday 5 Lovers?! If you typically do a Friday 5 post you can still join the fun. My plan is to add this to my weekly Friday 5 for the month of December so my first pick will be my 2015 Blogger Year In Review top 5 of whatever topic I choose that week. You could also dedicate your entire 5 to the link-up!

All we ask is that you include our button on your post and link back to one of our blogs. The linkup will open up on December 4th and will close December 21st. If you share your post on social media, please use the hashtag #2015BloggerReview so we can search, find and read your posts. 
I am so excited to see what you share and reflect on 2015 with you! 

Christmas Countdown Link-up

My absolute favorite time of the year is Christmas. The decorations, lights, celebrations, family time, music, food and most importantly celebrating the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

I always find myself cramming in as many holiday activities as I possibly can without becoming the crazy Christmas lady. But if I am being totally honest I would be completely okay with being "that" lady. Christmas tree in the laundry room? Why not! Decorating my car? Sure. Someday I just might get to that level of Christmas crazy folks. Don't say I didn't warn you.

So being the Christmas enthusiast that I am you can imagine the excitement I had when I was asked to co-host a Christmas Countdown link up. I couldn't say yes fast enough.

Meet my lovely co-hosts

 Danielle from Sundaes and Spaghetti



and

 Kelly from Happily Ever Mock


If your not already following these lovely ladies along you wouldn't regret taking the time to go say hello and getting to know a little more about them.

Link-Up Details

The link up will start on Wednesday November 26th and go through December 24th. We are inviting you to link up with us ALL things Christmas. What are you doing, making, baking, cooking, crafting or anything else.

Spread the Christmas cheer and see what others have been up to.
It is sure to be a fun time.
