Anyone else have a Sizzlin' Summer Giveaway Hangover? I seriously opened hundreds of tickets yesterday. I just kept rolling the instant win tickets...and collecting coupons because...
3 different cashiers told me yesterday that you can STACK the 25 cents coupons on 1 ITEM until the item is FREE! Now of course, I have no official clarification on this, but I am going to try it soon. It doesn't hurt to ask at your store. If so, this means for many cheap or even free items for me!

Adventures in Shopping...Train Diego
We have lots of toys at our house...
but Train Diego is my son's favorite.
He goes everywhere with him, sleeps with him, and takes baths with him. Unfortunately this means he gets misplaced a lot. Last Tuesday, we lost him when we were out running errands. I knew he was either at preschool, the car, or Ross. Preschool couldn't find him and after several searches he didn't turn up in the car either. My husband went to Ross to try and find him and couldn't. My son was distraught and was just crying and crying. Every time he would stop, someone, (guess who) would remind him that Train Diego was lost. I was about ready to buy a new one (he only comes in the $50 train set).
Then on Friday, I went shopping at Ross. I threw in some shoes that I had been eyeing on Tuesday when we were there (without trying them on). When I got home and was modeling my purchases...guess what was inside my new shoes! TRAIN DIEGO.
My little boy must have put him in the shoes, then I put the shoes back. If you have ever shopped at Ross, you know it is pretty amazing that something is still there after three days! So everyone is happy and Train Diego got to go shopping again today, but Mom kept a much better eye on him.
*This story is a true experience and an exert from my personal blog.

Fly Lady: Day 10
You can do anything for 15 minutes! I have been using the 15 minute timer trick for years. I love to know that I only have to tackle something for 15 minutes and then move on. I am pretty effecient in short bursts like that. 
Today's challenge was get a trash bag and fill it for 15 minutes. I cheated a little and did my car instead of the house, but after a few day trips last weekend, it needed it bad. After the 15 minutes is up the next task is to relax with your feet up for 15 minutes. I am especially good at that part.

Fly Lady: Day 9
Declutter a place for 5 minutes. Okay, this probably took longer than 5 minutes (more like 10) but I did organize my coupon cupboard. I am aiming to do a cupboard/drawer/shelf at a time in my kitchen.

Fly Lady: Day 8
Make a list of your morning and evening routines...
Gotta love me a list! There is nothing better than writing stuff down and crossing it off.

Fly Lady: Day 7
Starting your bedtime routine...lay your clothes out the night before. 
This step makes a difference, especially when you have multiple kids to get ready in a short amount of time. One week in now. Are you still shining your sink?
