G-Force Blu-Ray for how much?

Wow! I just went to Target and bought the G-Force Blu-Ray combo dvd pack for $7.99!!! Yes indeed!!! I used a $10.00 off manufacturer's coupon from Disney and combined it with a $5 off any Blu-Ray Target Coupon! Holy Moly! I love it! It's going to be a great present for my kids! They absolutely loved that movie! On another note, they have Del Monte Canned Veggies on sale for .50! You can go here, register, and get a $1/4 coupon! So after the coupon you are getting 4 cans for $1.00 total! I bought corn. I'm going to use them for my covered dish that I have to bring for my son's Cub Scout holiday party. :) You can usually print up to 2 times on the Target coupons. Target also has certain Blu-Ray movies on sale for $9.99. If you printed out another $5 off any Blu-Ray coupon, you will get it for $4.99! Great deal! Okay, so I had to share because I was super excited to get the G-Force movie for such a low price! Love it!!!!

Re-cap of Thanksgiving

So it's been a few days since i've posted. Just wanted to say a little bit about Thanksgiving. It was great! Wonderful food and good memories w/ family! I ended up staying the night before Thanksgiving to help my mom cook. Oh my, we did a lot! I learned alot as well! I know the secret to her famous Lumpia (filipino eggrolls)...
You will never get it out of me!! Muuhahahhaha! That was fun! I think I rolled almost 100 of them! We fried them up the next morning to have throughout the day. Man, my mom makes the best!
And in the middle of doing that, I went a little loopy. :())
LOL! I was all about eating the lumpia wrapper. That's my son, Cameron, on the phone w/ my sister who lives in VEGAS. Oh how I love Vegas! It's the best city in the world! Well, lets say the continental united states, since I haven't been too many international cities. :)  We also made another filipino yummy, Puto. Yea, I know, looks and sounds almost like that one bad spanish word, but no, it's Puto..basically a rice cake. They are my favorite filipino dessert.                             


My mom put some shredded cheese on top, just for a little kick. I'll have to experiment when I get a steamer and cook them myself. Alot of food pics in this post, I know. But I was excited about finally learning how to make all these different dishes!




Oh see, this is the lumpia after we fried it. I know, it's a beautiful sight. Grown men have begged for this..they have cried over it in despair when the last one was eaten. LOL!
So all in all, good times! I had 4.5 days off from work and it was so wonderful. The kids and I spent ALOT of quality time together. :)

What a weekend...

Not only did I watch this movie once, but I went and saw it TWO times! LOLOL

It was awesome! I even got a New Moon t-shirt for me and 2 girlfriends. Yea, we decided to go all out w/ the shirts! I got this one that says Vampire Girl on it.

Isn't that neat!?? Of course, i'm on Team Edward..duh! But I did walk out of the theater liking Jacob a whole lot better!! I saw it for the first time on Friday afternoon. Then Sat I took to the kids to go see it, but it was sold out..we watched Planet 51 instead. They enjoyed it. Sunday we went back and was able to watch New Moon. How wonderful! :) What a really good weekend. I'm such a Twlight dork, I know. But I can't help it!! That was pretty much the highlight of the weekend! Besides that, spent time w/ the kids. :)

Check it out!

So I came home last night to find a whole bunch of stuff that I got for free in my mailbox! Holy moly! LOL! Here's what I got! Okkkkkay, scratch that..here's not what I got picture. Just went i'm on a roll, the computer decides to go nutso on me when it comes to uploading my pic. It's a small pic!!! I'll try again later.
But I received a free t-shirt that I designed myself from Marlboro..yes, yes, I did quit smoking, but I did this before, back in the day..it was free! This week's Business Week magazine, a free sample of Aveeno Shampoo and Conditioner, a recipe booklet from Carnation, and a free sample of a men's cologne that my son loves. Shoot, what is it called. Swiss brand. It's ayt.  Speaking of free stuff. I have been  a member of  this website, Inbox Dollars, for a few years now! It doesn't even take but 1 minute of my time. They send me emails, I click on the link, I get paid money. Sure, it's a small amount, but it's good enough for me. You can even take surveys and shop through the website. Just a small way to earn a little bit of cash for all of those small things you want. :)

What a busy weekend!

Check out who I hung out with on Saturday morning!!

Yup, Chuck E. Cheese baby! LOL! Had a birthday party there, so the kids and I went and played games. Good times! After that we went to our local co-op electric company's annual voting of board members or something like that. They give a free appliance for people who come and vote..:) Can I say Electric Griddle?! Oh yea! Haven't had one before so I was excited to get one for free!!! And all I had to do was vote for some dudes. Afterwards the kids and I went  up to their school to watch The Polar Express in 3-D. Granted, they ran out of 3-D glasses, then got more, but when I tried mine on I found that it was way better to watch the movie w/o the glasses! *shaking my head* It was so cute. All the kids dressed up in their pj's and brought blankets and pillows! Oh, like this. :)
 

And THEN, we were all winners in the raffle they had after the movie! I won this!

Cocoa, chocolate, shortbread cookies, marshmallows, cool coffee cup...it was nice! The rest of the weekend was spent watching Twilight w/ some good friends in anticipation to this Friday's NEW MOON!!! Oh man, we can't wait!! Yes, I have read the Twilight series and love it! I'm def on Team Edward. :)

I love this Freebie!

So during my massive undertaking to waste time and see what is out there, I have stumbled across a couple of Blogs that offer free samples, codes, etc..pretty much anything having to do w/ freebies/sweepstakes/coupons/product reviews/saving money..etc. One of the daily email's I received from one of the sites had this awesome little post about 50 free photo cards...including shipping! What? For real? Seriously! I started working on my Photo Card on Monday..finished it up Tuesday and put the final order in. And wouldn't you know that this morning I received them! Holy moly I was impressed w/ that! My cards are rocking!! I'm actually ahead of schedule for the first time in YEARS when it comes to xmas cards! And this is the first time I am doing a xmas photo card of the kids and I. Suhweeeeet! Doing the happy dance! I want to share the information and have others, yes maybe you, do the happy dance as well!
"You can order 50 free 4x8 or 5x7 photo cards including free shipping using the coupon code freebies4mom-1109 at SeeHere by Fujifilm. There is no catch, this truly is a freebie. I ordered my 50 free 4x8 photo cards and my order total of $39.50 was slashed to $0.00 with that coupon code. This coupon code expires on November 30 so you have plenty of time to design your free photo cards."
This info was provided by Freebies 4 Mom. Shouts out to her!



Go to Seehere, design it, order it, see it within 2 days like I did! What a wonderful way to start off my holiday season! Now if only I could get a head start on those "santa" presents for the kids. :)

So surprisingly yummy!

So last night was Cub Scout night. Which meant we had dinner w/ dad. So nice of him! One of the closest places to the Cub Scout meeting location was Mc Donalds. Fast and easy, right? Do you know what I had for the very first time? This!
OMG, the parfait thingy was soooooo good! And really, i'm not a healthy conscious  food eater. I don't like veggies..I don't eat alot of fruits..etc... so this healthy food item is amazing good! I'm going to get that alot now!!! Yea, i'm a dork. I know it. :)

TGIF!

Soooo happy that Friday is once again here! So my little man was so happy to wear his new John Deere shirt we picked up at the Fair last weekend. Hahaha, he's so cute!
Always talking about how other kids at school have them and he wanted one. I remember how it used to be...the need/want to fit in. Oh and not to be outdone, one of my most fav pics from the fair, little fairy Lexi. :)Love those kids!

So this weekend I am going to sit around the house and catch up on two weeks of my favorite tv shows. I started last night...Flash Foward. Good epi's. This weekend i'll catch up on Sons of Anarchy, Star Gate Universe, Sanctuary, Dexter, oh and I have all of season 2 of House to watch as well. :) The kids and I have no pending activities for the weekend. Thank goodness! So tv catching it is!! Of course it will be broken up w/ outside jaunts and playtime. Until next time...I have to go and pull a report. Take care!

Sometimes Twitter can be annoying...

Normally I love my Twittering! Just being able to say what i'm doing/thinking, etc...it's a great thing. But then my love for Twittering goes down the toilet when I get mass Twits (from just ONE person). I love Donnie Wahlberg. Oh yes, I do. I grew up on NKOTB...my dad is from Boston, we love all things Boston! But the man can get on a twittering run and send out 10 in a row! Then I am forced to disable the tweets. As the day goes by..I start to slowly miss him. By 5:30pm I have to turn him back on.
