Yankee Candle Love

I just recently discovered the store Yankee Candle. Not like Christopher Columbus discovered America. It was always there, I just never went in. I mean, what's the big deal about some candles that smell good, right? Then a sweet friend gave me this for Christmas:



This is the Christmas Cookie scented jar candle. I cannot describe to you the deliciousness of this candle. Every time I light it I seriously want to get a spoon out and eat it! It smells yummy!

So then my sister in law Christy asked for a gift card from Yankee candle for Christmas. Being the loving sil that I am I decided I would go pick her out something instead. I will admit that the jar candles are somewhat expensive, but I was looking around and a nice sales associate asked me if I was familiar with their tarts? I told him no and he educated me on them. As the tarts are only $1.79 I decided this was the way to go! I bought Christy this beautiful tart burner (I think that's what they were called) and 3 tarts plus the tea light to melt them for like $25.


Plus the guy told me I could register on the website for email updates and get a $10 coupon for my next purchase. I went back and bought one for myself! I think this is my new favorite store!

One Goal for Today

Do you ever start your day with just one goal and seriously not know if you will accomplish it? Today the only thing I really need to get done is a trip to the grocery store. Sounds easy enough, right? Of course before I can do that there are many steps I need to go through at home.

I have to make the list and check with hubby to see how much eating out he is planning on doing this week. He works from home so we also have to plan breakfasts and lunches at home. Great for the budget, tough for the planning :)

Then out come the coupons! There are the coupons that I have leftover from past weeks and the coupons from this Sundays paper waiting for me to clip. Not to mention my favorite website that I always check before I leave www.coupons.com. It's 9:45 now and I have to run my first carpool for Alyssa at 11:45 ... what are the odds that I will make it?

Update at 5:45... Got a call from school at 10:00 that Abby was not feeling well. Hair was still wet. Dried hair then picked up Abby. Did not have time to go before 11:45 carpool. Finally made it to the store after naps at 2:30- YEAH!
