Bargain: Diapers and formula at Target

Target is offering a great deal for anyone that needs diapers or formula.

Steps:
1. Go to the baby section at target.com
2. Put 3 items in your shopping cart (to save 10%) or 4 packs (to save 15%)
3. Spend $50 and get free shipping (this is easy to do if you pick one of the boxes of diapers...best value for the money anyway)
4. Enter code: URTYJLI8 for an additional 10% at checkout

Note: I had 1 box of formula ($90), 1 box of diapers ($35) and 1 small pack of diapers ($6) in my cart. The extra 5% (between getting 3 and 4 items ended up being about 6 bucks) was more than a pack of Up & Up diapers...so I added an extra pack of diapers to get to 4 items and my total actually went lower than it was with only 3 items.

Overall, I got formula for about $3 per can cheaper than in-store and got about 300 diapers for about $30 (and it will be coming right to my front door). This is a great deal and works with all the name brands, as well as the Target brand!

I started back to work in January and it is evident by my lack of updates. Hopefully I can get on the ball, as we've had some great times with the girls and I've also been busy with my bargain shopping!

I know everyone is more interested in the girls, so I'll start with them. Emily had her 4 month check up yesterday and is 12 pounds, 14 oz (about 25th percentile) and 24 inches (about 45th percentile). She is a big smiler and loves to talk (we call it "squawk" which you will understand after listening to this video). She "talks" for long periods of time, but usually clams up when we start the video.

Katie has had an eventful month too. She had her FIRST haircut, which consisted of cutting about 10 hairs in total. We did take care of that long front bang of hers and now she has a cute little bob. She was a great client and sat still the entire time...no crying! The fun airplane seat (don't be jealous, Uncle Mikey) and cartoons helped a bit too.

Grandpa was in town for a couple days and stayed with us, so he got to witness the first haircut. They celebrated by playing some "soccah bawl" after we got home (check out the hair - no fly aways!). Katie loves her GAMPAHHH!Emily is starting part time daycare and doing great so far. I'm also starting to read and implement GTD (Getting Things Done), in hopes of achieving this thing called "stress free productivity". Hopefully that means we can get more done and maybe I'll have time to post more often.

Happy 4 month birthday baby girl!

Katie's 1st library book

Went to the library today to get a book on tape (to help me pass the time on my VA trip). I let Katie pick a book to check out too.

She had a selection of about 5,000 books and what did Miss Katie pick as her first library book?

"Throwing Tantrums - Help me be good"

Enough said. :)
