Five Faves - 50 Cent Clothes Purchases

I warned you that I might be posting TWO Five Faves today; but when you see this, you'll understand my ENTHUSIASM for wanting to share (and my excitement for sales, which is clear to everyone at this point in my life)!!!

It all begins with my favorite kids used clothing store -

And the crazy sales that I get emails about - 

So Addie Jo and I went in to check out the DOLLAR RACK together and oh boy, did we rack up some $1 items that I thought were awesome!  

But then I see this while I'm up there - 

$1 items now

marked items only

10 for $5.00

(Haha this small print was in the email that I completely missed)

So everything I thought I was getting for $1, I was actually getting for .50 cents because of course I had to make sure I was getting groups of 10 to then spend $5!!!

Hence, my five fave .50 items I'm sharing:

1.) 

A Jean Romper that's probably too big for this summer, but maybe for the next two summers?
Anyways, it was a must for .50 :)

2.)

Cute summer dress - a few of these I had to buy! 

3.) 

Ralph Lauren SKORT.  SKORTS are cute for toddlers, right?

4.)

Some funky Baby Gap shorts with the original $22.99 price tag on them.
Yep .50.

5.)

Pink Columbia shorts (maybe a next summer size).

I always think, Why doesn't everyone shop at OUAC, and then my dad reminds me that someone has to buy new clothes for me to buy them used.  Touche. 

I guess the secret is out!

5 Faves - 8 Month-Old Teething Items

Linking up with the witty Hallie mid-week.

I might be an overachiever and post TWO Five Faves this week.  

Linking up with other bloggers and following numbers seem to be the easy route when I'm not always getting a "straight 12 hours" as Jim Gaffigan calls it. 

A teething infant means Bill and I converse every night at 2am or 4am on who's turn it is to help that sweet Buggie.  Oh yea, and at 1am, and then at 5, but who knows when we get up anymore, and what our conversations actually consist of.  At least I know Bill couldn't tell you!

So, since it's Junie's 8 month old bday today, I thought I'd post what she's been chewing on.  

She just broke her 4th tooth on the top row (6 total) a few days ago which means things are nice and rosy during diaper changes and sleep times.

First, my disclaimer - 

*You definitely won't find all of these under infant safety teething options or any parenting book that I am not reading… so in other words, I can't say I'm proud of what her gums be gumming on.

Runny noses come with teething too, just like diaper rash.  Yummy.

1.) The "pen" to the Doodler.  

Or really anything that Addie is using at any moment. 

Yummy metal

2.) Glass Top to the coffee table 

Right.  At least the glass is clean.

3.) Wrought iron coffee table legs.

And you thought I was a bad mom for letting her chew on the other end of the coffee table.  

Now x2.

Hey, it was Christmas morning so she got a free pass.

4.) Vacuum Cord.  I didn't want to post her actually gnawing on the thing, in case anyone decided to turn me in to DSS.  So this is her innocent shot.

What?  Doesn't everyone chase after her mom while she's vacuuming to sneak a bite?

5.)  And finally, just recently, a chew toy.  No, no. Dogs have chew toys.  I meant a teething ring.

Not just any ring.  Not any of the five we've tried to give her instead of eating iron table legs, oh no… 

Only this one that she's borrowing from grandma:

I'm just chewing on this because I'm in the sling and can't reach the vacuum cord. 

Hopefully your infants are in better hands finding good things to teeth on!

7 QT Friday

Linking up with Jen and the others at conversiondiary.com and then off to bed! 

A Wrap-Up of the last two weeks in PICS: 

(this is a scrapbook, after all, so that's why I'm always snap happy)

1.) 

Girls night!

Fondue Heaven

Beer Cheese, Creamy Cheese (with some extra spices), and Chocolate Cheese Fondue

2.)

Grandpa and Grandma Williams came in town for an evening on their way down to 80 degree Florida (I'm not jealous at all, thank you very much, although I almost suggested leaving the dogs and taking me instead):

3.)

Children's Museum visit.  

We are loving our pass we got from Grandma and Grandpa for Christmas! 

4.) 

Boring Super Bowl but yummy treats and friends to share them with made it A-OK! 

Nothing better than a box big enough for 4 kiddos! 

5.)

At least someone in the house is getting her yoga on:

6.)

Time for a late night snack:

Thinking this should be my blog motto, thanks to Verily:

Happy weekend, partners! 

Five Faves - Junkfood We Have In the House TOO Often

Last month we really tried to follow the "food budget."

The term food budget has an awful sound to it, doesn't it?  Haha yea, tell me about it...

We were working on following the budget more closely - probably because we've been stuck INSIDE so much lately...

Which reminded us that we live in a small house.  

And if we ever want to get out of our starter house and into a larger one someday, we I better get better at budgeting!

Okay… circling back around to saving money; oops... I mean junk food!

So here are some food items you might still find in our little but oh so charming (we think) house most days:  

Sour Patch Kids are candy, so they don't count as JUNK FOOD, right? 

Linking up with Hallie.

1.) Bill's Doritos.  Spicy Nacho goodness.  

Bill functions better just knowing they are in the house, ready for him to dip into some Bush's baked beans.  

We are high end over here, people. 

2.) Totino's Pizza.  Every grocery store run, I have to pick up two of these to keep in the freezer for Bill's late work nights.  

Bill thinks that $1.25 is a bit high for these puppies but he can't live without them. ;)

So we splurge. 

You probably didn't know that people still bought these after college, huh? 

3.) Queso Dip.  No explanation needed for this one.  Whether it's on sale or $50, it's hard to not have in the pantry.  

4.) Over the stove popcorn.  I don't consider this to be a JUNKfood, but I guess the AMOUNT we consume could cross over into that realm.
At least it's budget friendly, unlike those Totino's pizzas, wink wink.

My absolute FAVE.  Made in the Whirley Pop, of course!

And my last Junkfood vice - 

5.)  Coke.  If I sneak a few Spicy Nacho Doritos, or eat a huge bowl of popcorn, then I NEED a coke to sip on.  And by COKE, I mean any soft drink.
I am a Hoosier after all. 

You get the idea...

Is there junk food you can't live without, even if it means never moving into a bigger house?!  

Do share!
