RAIN RAIN GO AWAY! GIVEAWAY HOP

Hello Spring!

I am so excited for Spring 2018. Not that I have anything major planned or anything. Well, I am on a cruise right now. Oh yeah, I'm on my way to Cozumel for a few days of rest, relaxation and margaritas.

What a way to welcome Spring huh? What about you? What are your Spring travel plans? Are you and the family hitting the road? Catching a flight somewhere? Where ya headed?

Jeepers! It's January Hop

Happy New Year!

What better way to kick off the new year than with a giveaway! I am so excited to join The Mommy Island, The Kids Did It and 90+ other fab blogs in the first big giveaway hop of 2018!

JC Penneys also had some stylish boots on sale plus I had a $10 off coupon which I just had to use. After my coupon I ended up spending a whopping $4 on a stylish pair of boots. Talk about savings. Cha-ching.
There was one thing on my list that I didn't get. *insert sad face* I really wanted the Lego Women of NASA set. I glanced at it, thought about adding it to my Amazon shopping cart and didn't. The next day I woke up to see it go from $24.99 to nearly $100. *kicks rocks*

So when I saw Target was offering "12 Days of Socks" box sets, I knew I had to have one.

Each set retails for $15 and contains 12 pa…
