This weeks questions is...

Do you use Craigslist?
What have your experiences been? Good or bad?
What was the best thing you've ever bought?
What was the best deal you ever sold?

Yes!! I LOVE craigslist. I have used craigslist to rent out my house, advertise my yard sales and shop for stuff I need. I have never sold anything on craigslist though. I have bought a headboard and rails for my son's bed and most recently a trampoline for the back yard. According to my kids that would probably be the best purchase I have made from craigslist. I HEART CRAIGSLIST!!!!!

Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs Review

I took the kids to see this movie today. We were supposed to go to the Sensory Friendly version at 10am at our participating AMC cinema. Well that never happened. Little K had decided last night to get a Popsicle out of the freezer in the garage and left the freezer door open. I was feeling miserable, so I never went behind him to check and make sure he closed it. So on the way out the door I noticed all of my months and months of stockpiled meat was starting to thaw!!!

Needless to say after some hysterical tears and throwing away tons of meat, we made it to the regular viewing of Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs.

It was a pretty good movie. I think my kids & I have gotten spoiled by going to the Sensory Friendly version because it isn't as loud, the lights are up and we don't have to watch previews. Plus it is a lot cheaper!!! Back to the movie, I found myself laughing to a lot of the humor in the movie but my kids didn't quite get some of it. I think it was a little over their heads. My favorite part was when he made it snow ice cream!!

Plus they showed the preview of Where the Wild Things Are!! I want to see this but am not sure if I can convience the kids to go. Probably one of my most favorite books, hands down, but my kids hate this book. Low and behold this is the next Sensory Friendly film in October!!

Value Shopping for Children

Gap Outlet - Semi-Annual Baby SaleTwitterMoms Exclusive: Gap Outlet Semi-Annual Baby Sale Savings!

This is a topic I love!!! It is so easy to not spend top dollar to buy nice clothes for yourself or your children. I am a name brand junkie but I NEVER pay full price. Here are my tips. Go Here and Here to read more.

1. I always shop the end of season's sales to purchase clothes. You do take the risk of them not fitting but to tell you the truth. I don't think I have ever had that problem. If this does happen then have a yard sale or sell them on Ebay. You will make your money back and maybe more.

2. Join the stores rewards program, if they have one. You will sometimes get coupons in the mail and advance notice of sales. Some even let you accumilate points to spend in the store.

3. Shop Outlets, for example the Gap Outlet. They have great good quality clothes for inexpensive prices.

4. Shop consignment stores, yard sales, craigslist, and Ebay for the name brands you like.
