Shhh! It's a Sleepover, and it's a Secret!

My baby is turning 8 this year. EIGHT! I can't believe it! She is smart, has a beautiful heart, lives for God, and has just enough sass to round her out. For YEARS (at least half of her cute little life) she has been begging me to have a sleepover. I just never felt she was old enough.

I remember having sleepovers when I was little, I don't remember how old I was, but they usually all involved at least two or three of my cousins. It wasn't until I got a teeny bit older did it involve some of my friends as well.

Unfortunately, we don't live close enough for the cousins Mads age to attend so I wanted to wait a bit longer to let Mads do the whole sleepover thing. I feel eight is a good age.

So, this summer, we will have our very first sleep over! Eeeek! I am SO excited! I am NOT telling her until we get a LOT closer because I know she will ask us every day how much longer we have.

Because I am SO excited, I have already started shopping, come on you guys know I can't hold back when it comes to shopping for fun events! HA!

Last week I noticed that Totsy was having a Sleepover Event! How fun is THAT?!?! Do you shop Totsy? Oh my goodness! It is one of my favorite deals sites to shop! Totsy works kind of like a flash deal site, except their deals last a few days rather than a few hours. Plus, their prices are great!

So, I logged on and started shopping the sleepover event. Oh my gosh! EVERYTHING you could think of was on sale at this event! There were cute waffle makers, pj's, sleeping bags, popcorn makers, oh just so much cute stuff!

I may have gone just a little overboard! HA! There was just so many cute things! One of my favorite things I purchased was this CUTE flat iron case!

I can't wait to use this! Yes, I did have to get something for myself! Why should the girls have all the fun?

Since I LOVE online shopping, I of course went back today to find more cute things! They are currently having a Carter's Footwear event. FUN!

I can not WAIT to surprise Mads with the news of her sleepover and to share what else I have up my sleeve as we get closer!

Be sure to check out Totsy! You can also find them on Facebook and Twitter

Strawberries and Cream Instant Oatmeal | Recipe

I don't know about you but, we go through oatmeal like that is the only thing to eat on this planet! Seriously a TON! My youngest would eat it for every meal and snack....every day....if I let her. Yes, the little packs can be cheap (if you can find a coupon and get them on sale) but it still adds up. I used things I already had on hand so there was no extra cost to make this. FREE is ALWAYS good! I tried before to make little packets to keep on hand but that was a complete fail. I have since reworked the recipe and am happy with the results. I decided to just keep the oatmeal in a glass container this time and scoop out what we need, when we need it. You can also make this into packets by just scooping the desired amount into zip-top bags. {Strawberries & Cream Instant Oatmeal} 12 Servings 6 Cups Quick Cook Oats 1 1/2 Cups Oat Powder 2 Cups Powdered Milk 1 - 1 1/2 Cup Sugar 1 Cup Freeze Dried Strawberries Directions f

Today I am posting at Mom It Forward!

Hey guys! I have some EXCITING news! Today I am posting over at Mom It Forward ! I have shared my Fiesta Chicken Tacos recipe, it is SO good! Go check it out! While you are there, check out all of my other posts I have shared there. The Fiesta Chicken Taco mix is GREAT on nachos as well! I also made a quesadilla with some of the mix last night and it was AMAZING! This is also a very frugal meal, the total cost for me was $2.67! Here is the breakdown: Leftover Chicken - Free Black Beans - $0.50 for 1 can Frozen Corn - $0.17 (it was on sale and I used coupons, it was $0.33/bag and I used half a bag) Tomatoes and Green Chilies - FREE (again, on sale and I had a coupon) Tortillas - $2 Total- $2.67! Now, if you had to buy all of that at regular price it still equals out to a very frugal meal. Enjoy!
