For some reason, every year when school starts, I feel the need to get organized. At some point, usually after I’ve spent a fortune on items to help me get that way, the urge passes and I drop back into my disorganized state. Now that school has started, I find myself looking for cute but functional organizational items.

These storage boxes are not only stylish, but they’re also functional. From $9.99 - $14.99 they’re also a decent deal on storage boxes. They’re cuter than the plastic Rubbermaid ones I have anyway!

I apologize for the lack of posts the past few days. It’s back to school time and I’ve spent quite a bit of time at the schools trying to get schedules fixed and things like that. I don’t remember high school being so crazy when I was going! So, I’m back and thought I’d remind you to start checking Target, Kmart and Walmart for those back to school markdowns! Once school starts, the prices start falling. This year, I only bought the bare minimum for school and will pick more up during the clearance sales. If you play your cards right, you can pick up enough crayons, pencils and notebook paper to last you and a small country for the rest of the school year and maybe next year as well! Happy shopping!

I’ve tried to get a blog up all day, but couldn’t think very well. Today was the first day of school for my kids. Oh the stress!

Have your kids discovered Webkinz yet? Webkinz are cute little stuffed animals that come with a code to unlock a whole world at Webkinz.com. They retail for about $13 or so, but that’s if you’re lucky enough to find them. Lately, it’s been a little easier, but a few months ago, we found ourselves desperate and searching all over for them.

When I could no longer find them at my local gift shop(Webkinz are not sold by mass retailers. They’re only sold by smaller, independent(but sometimes Hallmark) stores) I turned to the internet. Where did I start? ebay of course!

I ordered this mineral make-up set from Ulta a few weeks ago. I know I posted about it here, so I wanted to report back with a review. Let me just say that I LOVE this stuff! I know there’s a lot of hype over mineral make-up these days. I haven’t tried Bare Minerals, but I did try Philosophy’s version a year or so ago. I was NOT at all impressed.

Ulta’s kit is a different story! I love the way it goes on. The brush that comes with it is fantastic, too! If you want to try mineral make-up, this is definitely an affordable way to go.

Have I blogged about this site before? I really don’t know! I was totally addicted to this site a few Christmases ago. I blew so much money there. It’s really easy because the items are just $5.99 shipped and you think that isn’t much to spend for a nice pair of earrings or a cute little ring or a must have pendant. Because it’s mostly impulse buying, you don’t realize how much you’re spending until the bills show up!

It’s still going strong. Items change about every 15 minutes unless one sells out. You need to buy it when you see it because you really don’t know when it’s going to show back up! I can honestly say everything I’ve purchased has been decent quality and worth $6.

Keep them occupied for hours with this fabulous Little Tikes 3-in-1 Build & Draw Activity Table. Originally $179.99, this table is marked down to $44.12! This thing is huge and looks like it would keep little ones occupied for long periods of time allowing mom to catch a break. The reviews on the table do say it’s hard to assemble and the box might come beat up, so remember that it ships in its original packaging. Still, for $44 and free shipping, I’d take my chances. I think it’s a steal!
