Could I slack any more? Yes, yes I could. Oh and Menu Plan Monday

So, I somewhat forgot that even had a blog. The child and I got sick (again) for almost two weeks and then my brain goes to la la land. I became lazy and forgot my bargain shopping duties. How rude. I do apologize. I'm back now.

Question of the Day
What do you to take a 'break'?

Weddings, Birthdays and Showers OH MY!

I just realized this morning that I have a LOT of events coming up that I need to get gifts for.... 2 weddings, countless birthdays and a baby shower. Oh my. Well, I got this email today letting me know about $4 or FREE Standard Shipping at Things Remembered. I love this store because I love anything and everything PERSONALIZED!

If you've followed my blog for a while, you know I hate to go shopping in real life. I am such the online shopping junkie. There are plenty of sales going on here to find what I need...


Gifts for Her on Clearance
- I love the dragonfly card holder. So cute! Great gift for a business woman. Also, I'm in love with the Crystal Heart Key Chain. That would make a pretty gift for a young lady just getting her driver's license....or a lady in her 30s who loves sparkles and hearts. ;-) There is also a photo book key chain...perfect for the Grandma who loves to show photos of all the little ones!

Gifts for Him on Clearance
-Not too impressed with the selection for men on sale. My hubby does like it when he gets fancy pens, so I guess those aren't bad.


Wedding Gifts on Clearance
-OK, for some reason I'm just totally in love with the fortune cookies covered in rhinestones! Love that you can put your own message in it. How cute! You could use that for a lot of different occasions, not just weddings. I see a lot of personalized frames and photo albums...can't go wrong with that for a wedding gift!


Frames & Albums Clearance
-All sorts of frames for all sorts of occasions.



Jewelry Clearance
-Ahhhhh jewelery! Lots and lots of pretty pretties!! Cute bracelets oh and the Outline Heart Necklace is gorgeous! I think the lockets are fab gifts for moms, grandmas, aunts, basically any woman who loves someone. :-)

Here comes the bride ...

...and some wedding deals, too! As I've mentioned before, I own a wedding business. I've taken time off from it to spend time with the most adorable baby girl on the planet. Not sure if/when I'll resume my biz because I'm just having way too much fun with the little peanut!

The Wedding deals at ShindigZ.com - the World's Largest Party Superstore - caught my eye since I'm very familiar with the cost of planning a wedding. There are just too many items on sale to list. They cover everything from personalizing your wedding, decorations, invitations & thank yous, favors & gifts, wedding banners, tiaras and so much more. Be sure to take advantage of the $5.95 shipping promo for orders of $65 or more today. Coupon code is VESH65 at checkout. That could save you some serious cash depending on how large your order is. That code is valid on other purchases as well, not just wedding items.

If you have a wedding coming up then this is what you need to do: 1. Take a deep breath 2. Exhale 3. Take a deep breath 4. Exhale 5. Repeat steps 1-4 as many times as it takes until you are calm. When you're done with steps 1-5, then you can continue shopping.

Feel free to pass this post onto any brides you may know who are frantically trying to plan a wedding on a budget....and tell them to not worry too much about all the decorations, food and such. The wedding should focus on the marriage not the favors and cake. :-) Just my 2 cents. I'm a horrible sales person when it comes to 'selling' my products from my business. I'm always telling clients to save a buck and cut something out.

I just love ShindigZ.com and I'm sure I'll be posting more party deals later on. I LOVE LOVE LOVE throwing parties! Until then, check out their Outlet to Save up to 85%!
