My Mother's Day Gifts

I had an excellent Mother's Day. I got to sleep in late, had dinner with my MIL and family, and spent time with my children. I also got a back rub from the hubby :). But it didnt stop there...


Remember how I said one of my favorite things is a good deal? Well, I found a great deal on this bookshelf at Walmart. It was $15.00 marked down from $28.00! The totes were 1.00 for 2, marked down from 2.00 for 2 {except for the teal and green ones, I had those before}. You cant see them all, but I got a total of 20 bins for 10.00. Which means, I now have all my bins and shelves for our new workbox system!!






My husband gave me $20.00 to take with me to the used curriculum sale in our homeschool group, and let me go without children {except Mini Cooper}. Shopping a sale for good deals without kids-yes that was a gift in itself!


I came home with everything in this box:




There was a HUGE freebie table, so some of the things in my box came from it. I also scored some fantastic deals, some of which I will be highlighting in the coming weeks as I tell you what's in there.

I came home from deal shopping to find my new bookshelf all put together and ready for use! There were even FRESH CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES courtesy of Mustang {with my hubby's help}. I got to sit in front of my new bookshelf, eating cookies, getting a 2nd back rub, while my children enjoyed some of the goodies from my shopping. The perfect Mother's Day :).
