Everydays An Adventure

I'm so bummed...

Talbot's Kids is closing.  The company has decided to close both the Kids line and the Mens line. They will close all stores by September but our store here in Kansas City will be closing by the 15th of July.  In the eight years that we have been buying children's clothes we have come to love their clothes and especially their sales and clearance racks!!  The only bright side to this is that everything must go!  They are still getting in new shipments and things are currently marked 30% off.  That discount will be increasing the closer they get to the end.  We were able to get quite a bit for our children for next year.  I'm sure we will go back right before they close to see what else we can get real cheap!  If you are as into children's clothes as I am you won't want to miss this sale!

The kids are finally in bed...

and now it is my time.  With four children - ages 8, 6, 3 and 18 months - I really need time to myself to unwind each night.  My favorite thing to do is cruise the internet.  About six months ago I discovered all these blogs written by moms with wonderful money saving advice and coupon tips.  I am a total addict!  I check these sites frequently throughout the day just to see what new info they have for me.  We have significantly cut our grocery bill and I am having so much fun doing it!  My husband is thrilled that I now have a hobby that doesn't cost us money!  I love to share this info with all of my friends that I decided to start my own blog.  Along with coupon and money saving advice I'll be sharing fun things to do with your family.  I often hear from my friends "ask Carolyn, she'll know" and I usually do or I know someone who does.  I hope you will find my posts fun and informative and that you stop by often so that you can make everyday an adventure too!
