For my Mom...

Today would have been my Mom's 58th birthday. My sister Kristin sent all of us a very sweet email challenging us to do something today in honor of our mom. (she's the one on the left)

She was known for having a secret stash of m &ms, taking meals to people, celebrating birthdays and holidays to the fullest, being spontaneous, staying up late with us to play games or have sleepovers in the family room, bargain shopping, leaving notes and treats on our pillows, helping in our classrooms, our watching one of the many hundreds of soccer games/track meets.

Something Brandon and I will be doing tonight is here.

In her honor, I decided to try my hand at bargain shopping. She always found the greatest deals and loved sharing them with others. So here I am, telling you that you can find some amazing deals at Smith's this week!! I got all of this:

• 5 lbs. flour
• 3 lbs. hamburger
• Ritz munchables
• 4 bottles Classico pasta sauce
• 2 bottles Apple Juice
• 8 Powerades
• 2 Healthy Harvest pastas
• 1 lb. butter
• 6 lbs. pasta
• bananas
• 2 Toblerones

for $22.34!!

The total should have been over $60.

Thanks Mom for teaching me how to do it. I only wish you could be here so I would have a shopping partner.

xoxo. love you forever.
