50% off equals $20.00

Well today was National Thrift Shop Day and that's what me and my boys did it just so happened to be on a 50% off Day too! Who Knew? I did of course :) I'm so proud of my purchases Ive decided to share with you my haul for today! I went in looking for maybe a used booster seat and anything I can use for my baby's upcoming birthday party. I'm glad to say I didn't find a booster seat but I did find lots of other great stuff! I found fabric to use for his party its cow print with western trim perfect for a barnyard bash! Also picked up a horse on a stick! you know the kind you run around with as a kid and it had a little button on its ear and I got home and took out the screwdriver and batteries and whallaaa! It works it gallops and neighs and all! Going to be a perfect prop/Toy! We've also been looking for a little backpack for the baby to wear cause he tries to drag around the diaper bag we have now...he knows all his stuff is in it but its so heavy and way too big and I found an adorable little puppy in overalls backpack! Has a zipper to hold his diapers and wipe and maybe a snack or two! And it doubles as a stuffed animal That's fantastic! Another great item I picked up today is an abacus...don't know if that's spelt right...My oldest already spent the afternoon doing math problems on it mommas worst subject is math and his fav. subject is math oh yes this is going to come in handy :) I also of course let each of the boys get a lil book cause why not they were like .25 and both my boys love to read.  Here's a pic of the kids/party stuff!
Cute stuff right! its all usable and no even though it may be cheap I don't go and load up a bunch of crap Its all great usable stuff I already had been in need of :) this is everything added up to less than 6.00                                                              

Now the rest of the 20.00 was spent on me and no I don't feel bad about that actually I'm sure I should probably spend more money on my clothes but of course I'm smarter than that I'm losing so much weight right now and getting so healthy that would be a waste of money I'm not going to fit it for long! That being said I picked myself up a cami, a tee shirt, and 4 pairs of pants which I'm so proud of. First off the khaki pants I didn't even try on and I NEVER do that but am so proud that since getting healthier I knew this is my size and I can fit these and guess what I do! the other 3 pairs of pants I knew God just placed right there for me. First off Victoria's secret is one of my fav. places to shop but since getting pregnant haven't been back and its been nearly 3 years anyhow I went down the Pant isle sweating cause my toddler was ready for a nap and now stating to whine but I was like hey look these are nice. and then another and another! yep 3 pairs of Pants all from VS all in my next size down! They are now my happy goal pants! and as soon as I get to it Il post a pic of me in my new pants! Thank you to whoever no longer wanted these they even had he dry cleaners info on them so they're very well taken care of! I like that they are my next size down Il be able to fit into them and wear them by fall and be able to make use of them all fall and winter! and just for 2.07 a piece! Thank You Jesus for sending me a reward/incentive at the same time! Hers a pic of all the clothing pieces I grabbed:
Just slung across my couch nothing fancy and I do also recommend the New York and Co. Cami that I got I'm going to look for more of them its got a full bra made into it and is extremely comfy yet awesome coverage and support! and here's a pic of my goal pants to keep me motivated!
They're the Marisa fit so nice wide legs and Ive got a pair in a creme color and a dark black pair and also a great charcoal grey pair! That's it for today hope you enjoyed National Thrift Store Day too Il be back to school shopping on Friday :)

Flowers growing on my Office Walls!

Well so I have a whole office set up, er getting set up, er thrown together yeah that's more like it in our new house of course the room is a square and has very bland walls and due to the temperature its too hot to let in the sunshine yet but while I was just looking around yesterday I came across some pretty awesome and look totally like me decals and decided huh 1.00? why not il try and put them on my walls and if they stay then yay if not well I tried! I run a health biz and a beauty biz out of my office and as your about to see I hand painted my desk bright hot pink during my last pregnancy :) it is the only color in the room other than the hot pink trash can i got a few weeks ago But here it is tadaa! I put up some flowers on my wall they are not evenly spaced they are not in a pattern and they are not in a straight line that would not be like me I just threw them up spread them about and had fun!
They're so cute right! I love it a little color and cheer added to my wall this was just 2 packages and if they stay up then I'm headed back to go get more and continue the sporadic flowers growing all around the room then maybe by then I can afford my hot pink and black curtains I've spotted for the windows! You know I live with all males my office is going to be my only Diva space weather Visalus Diva or Avon Diva its gonna be Diva! pink, black, zebra, bling, ruffles, polka dots the works Il share more as the room progresses and maybe by then il have it put together instead of thrown together :)

you know when you see something & u just have to take a pic!

Yep this is a shirt I passed by the other day me and my hubby went out to eat and there was a shop right next door so we decided to go through I had been there once before ages ago but not since being married and hes never been Its real cute has little toy shopping carts for the kids to push around which our 1.5 year old happily filled with stuffed animals while we went along :) But this was just too funny I wanted to share it! I think there was a time when I totally thought like this and It made me laugh. Now i think is absurd I want everyone to be healthy wouldn't wish it on my enemy to be fat but still just the simple comedy of it all is great. I hope you snickered...:P
