Kali FUN

Kali just gets cuter and cuter, I swear!!!  Here are just some snippets of the cuteness!!!

Trying on her new tutu from Wittlebee

Fun day playing outside
Please notice her new pucker face, or as my sister called it
"duck face". LOL

Breakin' it down Mr. Roboto style!

I heart her so much!!!
Those eyes OWN me!

Helping mommy cook in the kitchen!
I was making these pot pies that I found on this and pinned.
If you're not following me on Pinterest...get on the ball!
You can click this link or click the "Follow Me on Pinterest" button on the right.
I promise I have some good stuff! :-)

She was so proud of the fact that she was helping push in the biscuits!
Growing up too fast I tell you!!!

Blowing kisses!

Kali worked her way into Daddy's work boots!
She looked so adorable!
And especially because she had her "little black dress" shirt on! HAHA!
Such a ham!

MMmmm.... Capri Sun!
Enjoying a drink at Lake Shaw while four wheelers and flying kites!

Holding her "bumblebee"

And...for more cuteness...here is Kali doing the "Baby Bumblebee" song. She makes me teeth hurt she's so sweet! Hee hee!!!!!

Me vs. Target (I think I won!)

Kali and I took a trip to Target tonight because I needed to get her nighttime diapers.  But, being the couponer that I am, I cannot go to the store for just one thing.  Therefore, I snuck on over to Southern Savers to check out what kind of deals Target had going on. 
Now, I did go to Winn Dixie on Friday and had some great success as well.  My total before coupons and my rewards card was $216 and change.  After my coupons and reward card, my grand total was $132.54.  I didn't take a picture of that because it was mostly frozen/cold stuff and I wanted to get it put away to get Kali from TJ's parents.  So I was excited when I saw that Target had some amazing deals going on too.
After compiling my list and gathering my coupons, we were set out to go.

Here is a picture of everything I bought:
My total came to $93.58
Total savings of: $67.37

The Huggies nighttime diapers were $19.99 and unfortunately, I did not have a coupon :( But they were the thing that I actually went to the store for. LOL
The Charmin was $14.99, I had a $2 off and a Target $1 off = $11.99
The Pampers were on sale 2/$18, I had a $2 off and a $1.50 off = $14.50
The Gerber Entrees were $2.04 ea, I had a $1/3 coupon  = $5.12

Those were the things that weren't that great of a deal, but something that I needed anyway.  Now comes the GOOD part! :-)


Here are my GOOD deals:

The Zyrtec was on sale for $16.37, I had a $7 off coupon and a $2 off Target coupon = $7.37 (WHOOP)
The Claritin was $17.89, I had a $4 off and a $5 off Target coupon = $8.89
Nail files were $2.99, I had a $2 off Target coupon = $.99
Nivea body wash was $3.99, I had $2 off = $1.99
Aquafresh children's toothpaste was $1.87, had $1 off = $.89 (Kali won't use that for a while, but for $.89 it can sit in a cabinet until she's ready for it!) :-)
The Carefree liners are $.94, I had a $.50 coupon = $.44
And finally, the Cadbury Eggs are now 70% and they had a BUNCH left over.  So I grabbed 4 bags and price scanned them.  They were on sale for $.94! Yes, Please!!!!!

AND THEN...I had AMAZING deals:

This picture cost me $1.68 TOTAL

Vitamin Waters were $1 each, I bought 8.  I had 8 $1/1 coupons. That means they were FREE!
2 Liter Cokes were $1.79, I had coupons for FREE 2 Liters.  YUP, they were FREE!!!
Ortega Taco Seasoning was $.56 each, I got 2 and had $1/2 coupons = $.12 for both!
Ortega Guacamole Seasoning was $.78 each, I got 2 and had $1/2 coupons = $.56 for both!
Market Pantry Pasta and Sauce were $1 each, I had $1/2 = $1 for both.
YIPPEE!!!

And then I got some special things for Kali since we're planning a trip to the beach this weekend:
This all came to $22.98
I had $20 worth of gift cards from previous transactions
(you know, buy 2 razors get $5 gift card type deals)
And I had $3 in cash on me.
So I like to say that this was FREE as well (since it didn't come out of the bank)
Free Beach Fun, makes it MORE fun! At least for Mommy! LOL!

I basically spent the money I saved from my Winn Dixie trip at Target today! Pretty amazing if you think about it! Love it!!!!!

Easter Bunny Arrived

We had a wonderful Easter weekend with friends and family! Kali really enjoyed hunting for Easter eggs and of course loved all the chocolate and presents she got!

In normal Stephanie fashion...our weekend in PICTURES! :-)

Kali got to pet a REAL bunny. She loved it!

Hunting eggs at Mema's church

Look at that grin!
She loved the bunnies for sure!
We went to the Park down the road from our house for their Easter Egg Hunt.
Aunt Debbie came along too!

Me and Kali after the egg hunt... she got ONE egg.
Yup, ONE egg. Ah well. There will be more eggs to hunt!

She did get to sit in the firetruck, though!
She loves firetrucks or "Tuc" as she calls it.
So excited to be sitting in the firetruck
Uncle Jonathan said that when we go up to visit he'll let her sit in his firetruck!

And in true "Child of TJ" form - she found it more fun to play on the caution tape than anything else at the park!
We literally stood here and let her play on this caution tape for 10 minutes.
Until the guy came and took it down (you should have seen her little disappointed face at that!).
He did offer for us to take some home for her to play with, but we declined. Haha

Having a BLAST on the caution tape

We went to dinner at Cafe 30A, and Kali and Aunt Debbie shared some sweet tea.


Christopher, Kali, and Alec.
Even though the boys are WAY older than her,
they're going to be bestest friends!
Alec has already promised to teach her lots of things...
some I'm sure we won't appreciate! Hee hee

COUSINS :-)
Love those smiles

TJ, Kali and Me Easter Sunday

My Precious Kalibug

Me and my Bugaloo
I just adore her so much!

Kali Easter baskets
Left from Mommy and Daddy (with the book on the right), Basket on the right from Mema and Papa
Check out the purple shoes...they totally light up when she walks.
That was one of those things I swore I would never buy my kid, and yet, I bought a pair!
She loves them too :-)

Aunt Debbie sharing her Starbucks.
She's going to be addicted like the rest of us now! LOL!

Hunting Easter eggs at Mema and Papa's
She loved it!

It's a bird, It's a Plane, it's....nope, it was a plane! :)

Next house was Tee Tee's.
Easter egg hunting with all the eggs that the kids had colored.

Kali and TJ found the ones under the lawn chairs

"And they put their hands UP...and they stay there"
Yes, that's my kid dancing to this song.
Love it! HAHAHAHAHA!



Busting a move (of some sort)

We had a fantastic time!!! Kali loved hunting eggs and I think we're going to have to hide some more eggs in our yard this weekend for her to find. She'll love it! We sure do have enough plastic eggs left over from all the places we went. So much fun!
