My after Chrismtas sales haul


Have you taken your Christmas tree down and out to the curb? I just took out the live greens I had in our house and took them to the curb. Don't you always feel like the holidays go by to fast?  I'm already thinking about next Christmas. Why? Because the sales are great now!

Wal Mart sale yesterday -75% off, most of this stuff was around 25 to 50 cents!

 




These door covers were 25 cents. I bought three in each style. Great for you inside doors too, give to teachers, college kids, libraries, or give a set of them to your kids school, church or day care.

I was waiting for these to go on sale: electric candles for the window. 98 cents a pack. (earlier I bought the candles that are battery operated with timers and they have a orange glow-I'll use those for October and November)


Target's holiday merchandise was 75% on my visit.  I bought a handful of gift bags for 90 cents each and tissue paper.  Each store has different stock so if you live near a few different locations try to visit them all when you are doing your errands.Go through the store too, I found nice holiday hand towels and stoneware snowflake pattern soap dishes in the bedding and bath end caps for $1.79 each.  Buy gifts at these discounted prices for next year. Keep them on hand  for hostess gifts, teacher gifts, unexpected gifts you need to give or gifts for Pollyanna or secret Santas.




As far as planning for next year I need to get busy on making some lists. I have a binder labeled Christmas that I keep printable shopping lists, sale list and more that I can copy each year and fill out.

My all time favorite for holiday lists is http://christmas.organizedhome.com/. They have tons of free printables and ideas for holidays. Idea planners, household cleaning, grand plan, menu plans,  gifts you can make and crafts for all the major holidays too. I just love this site! Here is the direct link to the printable sheets: http://christmas.organizedhome.com/printable/holiday-planner-pages

Happy New Year! Happy Shopping! Happy Organizing!

Giveaway of New Soft Scrub® 4-in-1 Toliet Cleaner to three lucky winners.

  Let's talk about cleaning toilets. Hmm, I'd rather not talk about that, or clean them. However, I don't want dirty toilets in our house, so I have to clean all three of them. I'd clean four or five because I really would like two downstairs bathrooms in my next house. We have one powder room on the first floor and two full baths upstairs.I'd like three full baths upstairs. Why in the world would I want to clean all that? Who knows, but having a product that can help out cleaning the three we currently have in my house is greatly appreciated. Soft Scrub ®  is honestly amazing me with their new and improved products. I've learned about them in the past few months from trying them out and writing reviews. My kitchen sink has never shined so much, the bathrooms are cleaner, and now Soft Scrub 4-in-1 Toilet Care is now here! It is new, it smells nice, and it is so easy to use. Just clip it on the side of the bowl, make sure it is in the flow of water when the toil

Win an Ultimate prize pack from Betty Crocker Ultimate Meals and Mixes

So, how's the dinner time prep going? The kids are back in school, and  then after school is sports, band practice. Do you have the taxi light on top your car on? Sound familiar? I can relate. Those nights of soccer practice and games kept us moving. I am the late afternoon here on the East Coast, and glad to have my dinner thoughts together. How did I do it? The ultimate way, with new Ultimate Hamburger Helper from Betty Crocker ®, that's how. I whipped up, I'm calling it that, because it was easy to prepare and cook. I made Ultimate Hamburger Helper Three Cheese Marinara. Easy to understand directions are on the back of the box, and don't forget to cut out the Box Tops For Education Label before you toss the cardboard into your recycling bin.   How to make this warm hearty meal for your family: open a box of Ultimate Hamburger Helper Three Cheese Marinara Brown 1 pound ground beef in a skillet. I used organic ground beef. In that same skillet, add and stir in: 1 cup o

Giveaway of Three Copies of Les Misérables on Blu Ray DVD combo Pack

You know that part of a DVD that prompts you to select play, scenes, bonus, set up while bits of the movie play? I did not get past that for several plays through the song "Do you hear the people sing" with  people of France waving their flag, and singing about they will not be slaves again.  The song is so moving, so powerful. It can stir up your the strength within your soul, it can remind you of the freedom of being an American, and it can bring you to tears of sadness, happiness, and joy. Now on to select play: I saw Les Misérables at the preview screening last year and was captivated, motionless in my seat. The DVD has the same effect. You'll be taken back to another place, another time. The cast is perfect, the singing is moving, and the scenery is real old world "Paris". As I watched Les Misérables it's a reminder to myself, a wake up call for us all to be humble, be better. To forgive each other, let go of our egos, help each other at times of need,
