Shopping: Let's be Frugal and Thrifty!

Hey Ya'll!

 Today I really just wanted to share with you some of the AMAZING deals I have found lately! Anyone who really KNOWS me know that I love country music and I love SHOPPING!!! It really is an addiction people...and I am working on that! Lol I have been referred to by several of my friends as a "label hoe" and yes that may be true but I want you to know that EVERYTHING I buy is on sale and I always try to find a coupon as well.  Not only that I also love to go "thrifting" and browsing garage sales. You will be amazed at some of the things you can find. I have noticed many communities have started garage sale pages on Facebook as well. 

 Below I have some items I have purchased over the last few weeks that I think were GREAT deals! I have something I found on my communities Yard Sale Facebook page, something I got from an actual garage sale, and some items I purchased new. I love to save and I love to share tips that can help the next person save as well!! I hope this is a post that you will enjoy. 
The Vanity below is an item I am verrrry excited about!! Hopefully, we will be buying a house in the near future and I want this vanity to go in my spare bedroom. It will be my makeup area. I am not sure if I will change the color or not but if I choose to I can sand it down, change the color, and change the handles as well.  I found this on the community yard sale Facebook group for $65. (Ignore the background we were putting it in storage.)



Below I have my Steve Madden Pony Hair Flats! YES, there is a story behind these! My BFF purchased these for around $80 on the Steve Madden website. I loved them so much and I really did want them BUT, I never pay regular price for Steve Maddens (or any other shoe). She tried and tried to convince me to order these shoes but I held out and didn't get them. Needless to say about 2 months later, while in Arizona, we visited a store called Last Chance and I found the EXACT same shoes for $18.99! Steeeeeaaallll!!!!!
I have been looking for a small cute stool for a while now. I was able to find this at a co-workers garage sale for $10. Again, I can change the fabric if I choose to.


Last but not least is my new Keurig!!!! I am already in love with this purchase! This item is regularly $124.99 at Kohl's. I got this Keurig AT Kohl's this weekend during a sale they were running. This Keurig was on sale for $89.99 with an extra 10% off. I had a 30% off coupon and a $10 off coupon from my reward points. One thing that I love about Kohl's is they allow me to double up on my coupons as long as they both are not a "percentage" off. I paid $60 total for my Keurig. After my purchase I got $10 Kohl's cash and a $10 mail-in rebate. When you think about it I'll end up paying $40 for it! I am not a huge fan of coffee but I love making the cider, hot chocolate, and teas that I purchased. Be on the look out for these type of sales at Kohl's....everything is a steal! My next big purchase will be a Kitchen Aid Mixer...lets see how cheap I can get that! 


Thanks for reading! Share some of your steals with me in the comments below or on Facebook! :)

Toodles!!

I had a Miscarriage.

For nearly 12 months I was afraid to even write this post. Now I know more people suffer from this than just me and just like I felt alone I am sure they do too. We are not. 1 year ago today I went into surgery. I came out 4 fibroids lighter. One fibroid was the size of a grapefruit and shifting my entire pelvis. I'd heard that size from several doctors...trust me I got 4 "second opinions." So  there  it was obstructing my uterus and preparing to change our lives forever. I couldn't "NOT" see what was causing all of my problems so during my surgery I had my specialist take pictures of the removed fibroids. I still have the picture.  Prior to November 17, 2016, surgery day, fibroids rocked our world and took us down a path that we’d never been, never  expected, but I always feared . You see, in the back of my mind I always feared I would be the one to go to school, work towards success, and later be unable to conceive...

It's All Good...Until it Ain't...

So, this means I am off to a good start…twice in one week. Haha! So, the last blog post was a cliffhanger, right? LOL It gave you just enough for me to decide what’s next. After writing that post I thought, “where do I go from here?” But I figured it out…so here goes!   All of my 28 years, 10 months and 25 days I have felt and probably been bigger than the average person or what society says is “normal”. My weight fluctuates often I have been a size 5 and I have been a size 16. At this point in my life I am the biggest I have ever been. If you have seen me lately then you know I am a little “THICKUMS” LOL. Over the last year I have told myself “start getting in shape, workout more, eat less, eat better, yadda yadda yadda.” I have started diets and stopped them no sooner than 1 week into it. I have said it ALL but the motivation wasn’t there. Losing weight didn’t become my reality until maybe a month ago when my NP looked at me and said “You need to lo...

Part of Life is Living

Hey Ya'll!!!  I know I have been missing in action for a few weeks but I have been on the go for the last few weeks. I had a craaaazy couple of weeks at work and when things finally settled down I was in travel mode. 2 weeks ago I traveled to see a friend in Arizona, which is a gorgeous place by the way, I will share pictures of that later.  AND, this past weekend I was in Mississippi seeing family and preparing for my upcoming 10 year class reunion...YES, 10 YEAR!!! (OMG)...But anywhoo... Today I wanted to share some things I have been feeling as it relates to LIFE and LIVING LIFE!! I am no expert...just a Social Worker, Mental Health Professional, and Therapist. LOL   So, earlier in the week I was riding in my car and my past came flashing before my eyes...All of these things I said I wanted to do as a child was running through my head. Everything I said I wanted to do, I wanted to accomplish, places I wanted to visit....EVEN THE PLACES I SAID I WANTED TO LIVE. So...
