The Princess Turned 3

Bless her heart, she did not feel good on her birthday.

She calls herself Bella Princess, and is a very girly girl. She loves to look pretty, very picky about what she wears. Usually she is in a dress when we are at home. This summer I think she'll be in a dress a whole lot more. She's loves anything to do with princesses and barbies. She is a funny girl, and she really loves her mama. I don't know what she would do if I actually went to work, she is at my side the whole day; it's ok because I secretly like it. She still takes a good 3-4 hour nap a day and as long as she keeps up with that she will remain in her crib.

I can't believe my baby is 3. It's different to not have a baby anymore, I miss it and I love it. I won't miss having my waistline and weight going up every other year, of course I blame part of that on the stress of nursing school just to make myself feel better. It's hard to lose weight and now it's finally coming off  (22 lbs in fact!) and it will be nice to not have it go back up again. I think our baby days are officially over and we look foward to the endless soccer, softball/baseball and other games, school plays, spelling bees, pinewood derbys, first and last days of school....and all the other fun that comes with having elementary aged kids. I don't want to look any farther ahead than that, it scares me.

Walgreens-not just for filling Rx's!!!!!!!!

Back in the old days the only time I would go to Walgreens was when I wanted to get an Rx filled, and I would generally go through the drive-up. Not anymore, it's not the place I do a ton of shopping, but they have some great deals sometimes.

Last week I stopped by real quick to grab something and while I was there I checked the razor aisle real quick cuz Wes was getting low on razors. This is what I found:

Gillette Fusion razors were on clearance! These bad boys are $10.49 retail, but were marked wayyyyyy down to $2.69! Each pack has 2 heads, so I loaded up and got 5 of them and also got one (so 6 total) Gillette Fusion Power razor (not pictured) for $3.11, retail $11.99! That is $64.44 worth of razors for $16.56, and this will last Wes for at least 10-11 months!  The best part is that I didn't even have to use a coupon or do a register reward for them. I'm not a fan of doing registered rewards because it's a complicated process, but I will if it's a great deal. Luckily, I didn't have to and was able to save without it!

So each razor head is about $1.34, and if I were to buy the 4 refill cartridge pack at $16.99, it would be around $4 a head and that is why I don't buy the refill packs, much more expensive.
