Some may say that I go there a little too often, but as a stay-at-home Mom I consider it my <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta; font-size: x-large;">JOB</span> to try and economize as well as possible. My philosophy is to buy when it's on sale rather than at full price when they <u>absolutely</u> need it.<br />

<br />
Also, with a Tanger promotion they were running I scored two extremely nice Columbia shirts for my man at a mere $7.70 a piece. Without the coupon they would have been $19.95 each on sale (reg. price being $39.90 ea.).<br />
<br />
At Children's Place I paid no more than $3.14 per item and as low as $.62.<br />
<br />

As I was posing my wonderful son, (yes I'm talking about Colin), for a few photos he announces he has to go potty. "Just a minute" I say having turned around to scout out my next shot - only to turn back to see a little guy, with trousers dropped, taking a pee. Oh what memories those brides-to-be and families will have with a wild nature fountain shot in their beautiful photos!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Nice pictures, but big mistake. Thought it would be nice to show Colin the waterfall, only to have him screaming and crying all the way back to the car because we wouldn't take him to the very top.</div>Monicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16669577215555732314noreply@blogger.com3
