Do You Shop At Target And Love Saving Money?
I should be ashamed that one of Maclane’s first one hundred
words was “Target,” but the truth is, I’m not. I’m not ashamed in the least.
Why? Because let’s face it, Target is much like Disneyland in that it’s one of
the happiest places on earth. Don't let that face fool you.
There’s just something about strolling through those large
silver doors, making a pit stop for a cake pop and heading right for the dollar
spot that puts a smile on everyone’s face.
Whether it’s a forgotten ingredient in that evening’s dinner, a birthday
present for one of Carter’s pre-school buddies or a new shower curtain set
of candles throw pillow coffee mug maternity top for this
ever-growing belly of mine, Target has become our go-to shopping spot for all
of the above.
What’s even more to love about Target is that it recently
rolled out a brand new app, the Target Cartwheel app, which allows shoppers to
save even more on their purchases without having to clip a single coupon. This
savings is in addition to any other available Target discounts or coupons,
manufacturers’ coupons and their REDcard discount!
I’ve been using the Cartwheel app for a little over two
months now and each time I shop, I save, on average, upwards of $15-20 and this
is on items that we use every day. Things like groceries, diapers, vitamins and
household cleaning products.
For a busy mom who rarely has the time, energy and focus to
sit clipping coupons (and let’s face it, the wherewithal to remember to bring
them along to the store), this app had made such a difference in how we shop. Most
trips I pull up into a parking space, glance over our shopping list and before stepping
out of the car, log into the app and begin compiling my “cartwheel” of useful
coupons.
Some other neat features to note about the Target Cartwheel app:
o
Cartwheel can be used on your desktop, tablet,
mobile web or iPhone and Droid apps.
o
Using either the iPhone or Droid apps, shoppers
can scan any bar code in store to see if that item has a Cartwheel offer available.
o
Guests are able to use their Facebook login to
sign up with Cartwheel. This enables them to see what offers their friends have
on their Cartwheel lists in the app! If you do not want your offers posted to
Facebook, this can easily be managed in the app’s privacy settings.
o
Multi-use offers- shoppers are able to use any
offer on their list as many times as they wish until the offer expires, with
the following exceptions: limit of 4 items per offer, per transaction; limit of
6 Cartwheel scans per day. For instance, if there was an offer for 10% off 20
ounce bottles of Diet Coke, a shopper could purchase 4 bottles of Diet Coke in
one transaction and the offer would be applied to all 4 bottles. That same
shopper could do this up to 6 times in order day, for a total of 24 bottles of
Diet Coke.
If you like shopping at Target and love saving money, then
you need to start using Cartwheel. You won’t regret it!

... And We Have A Name!
The ultimate deciding factor this time around? Collins will share the same initials (and therefore, monogram) with his older brother Carter making all of those monogrammed pieces re-usable. My husband couldn't be happier ;)
But between you and me? I'm just grateful that we'll never have to name another human being again.
So, tell me! Did you struggle with baby names also? Or was it an easy decision for you?

The Wrong Reason To Try For A Fourth Baby.
"So, you're just going to have to try for four to get your girl, huh?"
I looked up in the direction of the offending question, shrugged my shoulders, and half-smiled. Yeouch. "I almost can't believe it myself. Three boys! How crazy!" I replied quietly back.
Looking back, that's not even the part that stung the most. That part quickly followed was when the very pregnant woman with two boys playing happily at her feet said, "You poor thing."
