Money Saving Monday!!

I was super excited to go to Staples today and join the Teacher's Reward Program so I can now get 25 of the $0.01 items. That means 25 items for $0.25!!! I love it! Only thing is you have to spend at least $5.00 in the store you cant just only spend a quarter. But that is no big deal for those of us who are teachers! So, I got all of these items (below) for $0.75!!! That's 200 pencils, 50 highlighters, and 2500 index cards.. That means each item was only $0.00027273. Cah-razy!!! To get to $5.00 I found things on the clearance rack. Name tags for $0.50, 60 pack of jumbo paper clips, $0.50, good things not junk. Things I know I'lll use! 

I've also seen these crate seats all over blogland! I have purchased my crate, fabric and wood and I can't wait for husband and I to make them this weekend...{hopefully}To see how these are made and what they will look like when complete just click on the picture.

So after those amazing deals at target, getting excited about my crates and a great workout at the gym I came home and made myself an {oh so delicious} peanut butter and banana sandwich!!! 

Free Giveaways!!!

So I have been so busy searching blogs and trying to enjoy my last summer as a college student that I haven't updated at all. It makes me sad because I started this blog for a reason and now I am slacking because I get all wrapped up in searching everyone else's blogs and trying to win a million giveaways so I can stock up for when I am finally in my own classroom! It is overwhelming. Only one more semester left and I can officially start my career as a teacher. So, I came across this amazing blog and this generous teacher is giving away free homework coupons...already made for each month. I love the creativity behind it and I can't wait to get mine! All you have to do is blog about it!! Those are my favorite giveaways because you're not competing with 14,652 (random number) other crazy obsessed blogging teachers. So here is the link...check it out:
