…to feel better. I have bronchitis and it is kicking my butt! I hope to be back by Thursday…

Using RED @ Target.

katyshops — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 11:30:02 +0000

I get so used to cashiers trying to get me to open up a credit card during my checkout that I hardly listen to them anymore. I usually just say no. Well, the other day at Target I had a great cashier and I listened…and I was pleasantly surprised! Have you heard about the new Target Redcard? It isn’t a credit card – it is a Target debit card that is linked to your bank account. When you use it, the money comes right out of your checking account as if you are using your debit card. I’m sure you are wondering why you would want to use this card instead of your debit card, right? There are HUGE advantages to getting the REDcard.

You get 5% off every purchase! Prescriptions, groceries, and all of your other Target must-haves. Awesome, right?
You get free shipping on all of your Target online purchases.
1% of your purchases are donated to your child’s school.
After you fill 5 prescriptions, you get a coupon for 5% off a day of Target shopping (you add that to the 5% that you already get off by using your card).

You can sign up in the store in about 5 minutes – all you need is a current check from the account that you will be using. There is no annual fee either. It sounds like a win/win to me! I have already saved $12 this weekend using my REDcard.

I did not get paid to write this – Target doesn’t even know I wrote it! I just wanted to fill you in on some useful information

Hot.

He is a hottie…and he makes amazing desserts. He might just be the perfect man. Maddie got this book for her birthday and it is awesome. The dessert recipes are great too – lol!

Everyday I’m Filing…

katyshops — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 11:05:49 +0000

Or at least yesterday I was filing…all.day.long. But it is done! I’m telling you, I couldn’t have done it without MyVitalFiles. Seriously, they are the best.

MyVitalFiles is a practical, ready-to-go system that streamlines and demystifies the filing process. Artfull-designed folders are pre-labeled, color-coded and collated alphabetically into intuitive categories. folders are uniquely designed to allow titles to sit above the top edge of a hanging file folder – eliminating the need for plastic tabs and making inserts. Assign one color file to each category – the system automatically aligns all of your labels in categorical groupings. And each of the 80 pre-labeled and 10 unlabeled folders is reversible – with different colors inside and out, for more flexibility.

You totally just take them out of the box and put them in your filing cabinet….and start filing your papers into the per-labeled files. I love it! Right now they are 10% off plus free shipping.

I Have Been Busy Organizing

katyshops — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 11:32:24 +0000

Pinterest has really had me moving in the last few weeks! What ever works, right? I spent last week organizing my foyer…the coat closet and a wall of cubbies. I found these really great chevron storage bins and boxes at Target – but I could not find a link to them for you. I found something similar…but not as cool as the chevron. So if you want them, run out to your local Target to pick up some. They come in green, red, or black. They have all different sizes. They even have solids. I’m telling you…the chevron pattern is so cute!

Here is something similar -

IHeart Organizing has the chevron bins on her blog or you can find them in use at Domestic for Dummies. Go at your own risk…these blogs will have you purging & organizing like a crazy person!

Trash Your Hair.

As if I don’t have enough hair bands all over my house…I found some more to add to our collection. I love these Trash Ties. Here is the description from the website:

Trash Ties are incredibly versatile. Standard Trash Ties can be worn in place of barrettes, bobby pins and hair elastics to create and infinite variety of hair styles, including braids and up-dos. Trash Ties are gentle on your hair and won’t snag, catch or cause breakage like other hair accessories. Available in a variety of colors, including neutrals and hair tones, Trash Ties are perfect for every occasion.

They even come with a 16 page style guide to teach you how to use them. $10 for a set of five- they come in a variety of colors.

CB2 is having a great clearance sale right now. They have a ton of stuff marked down, including lots of dishware. Here are some things that caught my eye…

I love this plate. I super love the $3.95 price tag.

These little donut plates crack me up for only $2.95

This platter is so pretty. The price is too…only $14.95

This is a little more expensive ($79.95)…but how cute would this be in my family room?
