Another amazing deal

Here are two more reasons why I will never pay full price for anything. I went to one of my favorite stores today just to look around and these items for William caught my eye. It's a stacking cup set with a bath squirty toy and a bowl and lid set for on the go snacks. The regular retail price for these items came out to $13.00.

As you can see the clearance price was way under retail.

Don't you just love it?

Well it gets even better. Not only did I get the great low clearance price but they also qualified for the store sale of buy one accessory get the second half price. I ended up spending $1.93 (tax included). It doesn't get any better than that!

William's first haircut

The time finally came that little William needed his hair cut (badly). Since Dwayne cuts his own hair it only made sense to cut his son's himself (plus he's cheap!) Here are some photos covering the haircut session.

Since we don't own a barber's chair we used the next best thing, the high chair! Dwayne introduced the clippers to William and turned them on. As you can see William didn't seem to mind it one bit.

Here he is playing peek-a-boo. He is always sucking his little tongue!

He behaved so well through the whole process.

Dwayne had fun doing this.

Here is the after shot. Of course he has to be a little silly while trying to take a decent photo.

Look at him! He looks so much older and more like a real boy and not so babyish.

Box Tops for Education with Pillsbury and Totinos Giveaway

**This contest is closed-- Winner is Meet the Browns**

The generous folks at My Blog Spark recently sent me a "Top This" prize pack that included a coupon for one box of Toaster Strudel and one box of Totino´s Pizza Rolls, a Box Tops For Education certificate worth 10 bonus Box Tops as well as some great school supplies just in time for back-to-school. If you have been a Momfiles reader for a while then you know what a HUGE fan I am of Box Tops for Education. What a simple way to give to your kids school without putting a dent in your wallet! The prize pack also gave me an additional amount of Box Tops to clip and send into the school. You can even enter here for a chance at winning 5000 Bonus Box Tops for your school!



With back-to-school quickly approaching, I am starting to brainstorm some ideas for breakfast, lunch and after-school snacks. With the girls being in 2 different schools this year there is very little time to actually cook each day. Toaster Strudel is a great option for a quick breakfast in the morning. I won't lie, I have even stolen one on occasion from the kids to have with my coffee on the go! We are big fans of the Cream Cheese Danish variety. You can't go wrong with the hot, yummy flaky layers of pastry and the do-it-yourself icing!


A great little after-school snack or an evening snack would be Totino's Pizza Rolls. I remember having these when I was a teenager after school. These are great because the kids (or husband) can heat them up themselves.
