Like we really need more Johnson's Buddy soap. If you are like me, your current inventory is enough to keep you stocked for a year. LOL!

In any case, I came across another $3/3 coupon here. If your stores are like mine and carry them for less than $1 then you should be able to score three of these for free.

Guess what I found out last night while surfing around DirecTV .......

This Weekend they will be offering a FREE HBO preview weekend on DirecTV. As it appears, Cinemax is also included in this offer! YES! It is awfully frigid here and I planned to stay indoors this weekend and remain warm. Normally the weekend TV is really boring but this should remedy that problem rather nicely. :0)

The weekend starts today and continues through Sunday, January 18, so be sure to get your DVR's programmed as soon as possible. We wouldnt want to miss anything good and free. ;)

Not only can you save 25% on gift sets at e.l.f. cosmetics , with coupon code VALENTINES, but if you'd rather, you can use code CARD10 to get a $10 gift card with any $20 purchase. I'm not sure how long this code is valid for but it says it's an inaugural deal, so I would assume at least through 1/20!

Remember, codes cannot be stacked, however, almost everything is $1 at e.l.f. COSMETICS.

Be on the lookout ladies (and gents!). Rumors have it that Target stores all across the country have their Clothing Clearance at 75% off. If that wasn't a sweet enough deal, an extra 30% is being taken off at the register!

I was in my local store yesterday (before I even heard about this deal) and can confirm my store has the 75% off section. However, I have yet to make a purchase and cannot confirm the additional 30% off. You better believe I will be finding out this week!

Watchout Target Clothing Clearance, Mommy K is coming!

Suave is doing its part to help women affected by the economy still feel beautiful.

Today Only, they'll be giving away a free bottle of Suave shampoo, conditioner, styling product, body wash or lotion. Click here to go to the site and register for a $3 coupon to be sent to you via mail. Limit one per household. This is for one day only!

The website says:
"For over 70 years, the Suave brand has bottled our belief that you can live beautifully for less. It's a belief we call Suavenomics. We want to put a bottle of that in your hands. We hope it will inspire you to apply this idea to your everyday life. Clip a Coupon. Hit a shoe sale. Squeeze more joy out of every dollar. This is no time to give up on your hopes, your dreams, or your beauty. This is time to stop overpaying for them."

Here is a link to get a FREE Reach Access Flosser sample. I am excited to try this out. I've always wanted to give it a whirl. I could never justify paying money for things like these but I always want to try them. I am so thankful for FREE SAMPLES!!

About two months ago or so I received a sample of Kashi Soft Baked cereal bars from Vocalpoint . The sample came with a coupon for a free item and also a few $2/1 coupons. (Talk about a sweet deal!) If you didn’t get these coupons, they are now available. All you have to do is go here to grab some $2/1 coupons for these very same bars.

Target has them for 3/$8 this week (1/11-1/17). After coupon you pay $0.66 each. How sweet is that?!

Enjoy!!

Greetings All and Merry Day After Christmas! :)

Sorry for being MIA. Dh and I's internet service was temporarily down for the last two weeks. Since most of my blogging was while I was at work - this posed a bit of a problem when I went on my three week vacation.

That's right folks, three weeks PTO. Started the 15th of this month and I wont be returning to work until January 5th. Let me tell you, I am savoring every minute with my daughter. It is so hard for me to be a WFHM. And with DD being a ton more fun now it will make it even harder for me to return back to the office. For now, I'm just going to enjoy my vacation with her and make a ton of memories.

I'll update more in a bit but for now I wanted to pop in real quick and let you all know what's going on. DD is waking from her nap so I must tend to her...be back later with Christmas updates and more......oh and before I go a real quick "Hello!" to all my new blog followers! :) Sure feels great to see I have a few visitors. I appreciate my visitors and hope you'll enjoy your stay here in my little piece of the blogsphere! :)

She is so cute with her newly found " i'm sticking my tongue out at you" action. Yeah, I think it's more like she saw Mommy doing it to her so much that she had to learn to repeat it herself. :0) Love you BooBoo-Bear!

You've read about me tightening up our budget and becoming frugal with our money. Now, I bring to you a new adventure....tightening up my body.

Tomorrow marks Day 1 on the Tight Curves Transformation Challenge. From Wednesday, December 10, 2008 through Saturday, February 28, 2009 I will be dedicated to tightening up, trimming down and overall becoming healthier and more fit than I have been since before I had DD.

Pre-DD days (12 months ago), I was a pretty happy, healthy, fit chicklette. Then came the news of our upcoming arrival. That's when I packed on a whole 82 pounds (at 5 foot tall, this is pretty huge). I'm using this challenge to regain that pre-pregnancy body and maybe even have improved upon it - if just a little bit.

My BFF, Genie, will be coaching me along on this endeavour and i'm uber excited!! It's going to be a lot of fun (remind me later that I said this) and I'm sure I am going to do great. We plan to start off with a rather aggresive plan that's pretty darn strict. It wont be no walk in the park but hey, for 6-10 days, well, I can easily hack it.

The hardest part that I can forsee being a challenge is the getting up and moving part. Now, I am by no means a stranger to the fitness world but when it comes to getting back on that saddle - girl, let me tell you. It's ROUGH! It is the hardest three months (this is the average length it takes me to find my groove). I'm going to welcome this challenge and say "Bring it On."

So, today marks the last day of my "bad food indulgences" for the next few months. You'd think I would have a really juicy list to share with you but the reality of it is, I dont. It was a fairly normal food day. I would say a typical 1520 calorie day - moderate level health food choices. The only bad thing is peanut m&m's and even those weren't all that great. I would have liked to have chinese (General tso's chicken) for lunch but those greedy little people wouldnt deliver to my office building unless the minimum order was $13+. yeah, sorry buddy. I'm not ordering that much. I ended up settling for my Fit and Active Pepperoni Stuffed Sandwich that I bought from Aldi's during our weekly shopping trip this past weekend. Dh and I will have a "dirty" dinner (you know, all that bad, fatty stuff) and I might even indulge in that cheesecake sitting in the fridge. After that folks, it's BYE BYE BAD FOOD! (well, aside from Saturday afternoon's pizza and cake for my Daughter's FIRST Birthday Party)

Stay tuned as I continue to write about my adventure during the Tight Curves Transformation Challenge.
