Buying a New Look on a Budget and Getting a #StyleSurprise at Sears + Sweepstakes & 20% OFF At Sears *Expired*
It has been a trying year to say the least. Not only have I struggled to take care of myself in a marriage that made no one happy, but the divorce, financial issues and the difficulty of keeping up with it all have caused major stress in my life. But as I get used to my new life, my new schedule and my new attitude, I am finding that taking care of me is becoming a priority again.
So now that I am trying to take care of me more, and have also lost 30 pounds in the process, I need some new clothes, shoes, jewelry and so on. My old ones are worn, baggy, unattractive and the sign of a woman who neglected herself trying to hold it together when everyone else knew it was falling apart. But, as previously mentioned, with three kids to take care of 90% of the time on my own, I don’t have a plethora of funds to use for me.
Lately I have seen more and more commercials for fashionable outfits that woman have found at Sears. Now, I love Sears for tools, patio and bar b q items and even kids clothes. But I have never really shopped there for me even though I knew the prices were going to be reasonable.
Check one out below:
My neighbors and I split up and gather all of the clothes that we thought would look good on me. Everything from amazing party dresses to super trendy jeans to fun shoes and tops. Arms totally full – twice over – we headed in to see if anything would even fit me.
While trying things on we discovered that I had lost 2 dress sizes. 2 DRESS SIZES! I was ecstatic and wanted to find even more hot clothes to try on my new slimmer frame. Luckily there was a lot to choose from! During this whole process my girls and I narrowed the outfits down to 3. A super cute Kim Karsashian dress that I could wear to a party, a black frilly shirt with some uber trendy jeans and some soft black pants with a flattering blue shirt. But we could not decide and, though I would have loved all three, I was on a budget!
So, my neighbor took photos and we posted them to Instagram! The one with the most votes WON and I went and purchased it today to wear to a Christmas get together tomorrow night! And the winner is……
The blue top and black pants, grey shoes and big fat Lori Grin! However, since the jeans and black shirt were in second place, I got those too! All of the items came out to less than $120! AND I used my 20% Off Coupon that lasts until 12/31/2012 that I got on Sears’ Facebook Page. That is amazing to me! And the clothes are pretty, trendy and they fit my frame perfectly!
As surprised as I was to head to Sears to buy clothing for me, I have to say, they have some serious style, affordable prices and will #StyleSurprise even the most savvy shopper! I can not wait to go back and try on even more!
Have you been to Sears lately to see their expanded clothing department? If not, check it out. And, while you are in between try ons, enter the Shop Your Way #StyleSurprise Sweepstakes where you could win 5,000,000 points! That is $5,000 bucks guys! No purchase is necessary so enter NOW!
UPDATE:
Tonight I went to the Christmas Party and everyone loved my outfit and was shocked I got it at Sears! Even Santa loved it!

Stuff Your Kids Stocking with Zometool and Watch them Think as they Play + 15% DISCOUNT CODE *Expired*
Get 15% OFF All Zometool Kits with Code MOTHERHOOD
Ends 12/31/2012
There comes a time in every parent’s life where they have to hand over a box of multi-piece toys to their kids and let them have at it. It can be scary unless the toy really promotes cognitive thinking, hand eye coordination and a thorough thought process. The Zometool Building Toys connect art, science and play for kids 6 and up. However, my 5 year old seemed the most interested in this toy and I loved that!
I got this toy a little while ago and have been protective of it since the day we opened it. Why protective? Because this toy already causes my children to sit nicely and play quietly together as they help each other figure out how to build shapes, spheres, orbs and more. Plus, I see this as a toy that will grow with them. As they become more educated on three dimensional shapes and objects, they can use the Zometool Toy to recreate them in their own living room!
The basic premise is a ball and a stick. The balls have many different shapes that make them up. Each color stick that attaches to them has a different shape on the end. And the sticks are short, long and in between as well as multi colored. By attaching the certain shape to the part of the ball that it fits in, they can connect the balls and sticks and make any number of great models!
With 246 parts including 186 struts and 60 nodes in a sturdy, easy to store, carrying case, both my kids and me have been taking time out to see what we can create. Well, until they kicked me out. Now I just watch them and relish in the fact that my laundry is done.
There are many kits to choose from on the Zometool website. And they all look amazing! And they are racking up the awards in the toy world for their innovation and creativity! In 2012 they won the Best Pick Winners by Dr. Toy, the 2012 Top Toy by Creative Child Awards and are included in the Made in the USA Hall of Fame!
These are AWESOME Stocking Stuffers and Christmas Gifts and you can still get them by Christmas! Just head over to Zometool.com and get your child hooked on science, art and play all at the same time!

Dressing My Holiday Princesses with CookiesKids.com as Seen in the Holiday E-Guide by Party Blu-Prints #HolidayGuide
My daughters are my everything. I love them, cherish them, get my joy from them and want them to be everything they can be. And when the Holiday’s come around, I want them to shine brighter than the twinkle in Santa’s eye! I want to dress them up and show them off. But on a budget, I can’t get too crazy. This year, thanks to the HOLIDAY GIFT E-GUIDE by PARTY BLU PRINTS, I got some guidance on shopping at CookiesKids.com.
I have shopped at CookiesKids.com many times. But in this vast world of a store on every corner and an ad in every email box, it is hard to know the stores that are the ‘real deal’. I have never been disappointed in the prices, selection, quality and service from CookiesKids.com so it is among my top 5 stores to shop for my kids all year round.
A few weeks ago, I showed you my CookiesKids.com online shopping trip. Using the awesome E-Guide, I learned that I could get a FREE North Face backpack with a $200 purchase with code JESTER! AND use code FSall99 to get FREE SHIPPING on orders over $99. PLUS, get 10% off with code ADAYINMOTHERHOOD. With all of the discounts and freebies, CookiesKids.com is a great place to shop and get Holiday Dresses, Suits, Shoes and Winter clothing.
Now, back to me and my awesome kids!
I chose beautiful dresses, shoes, hair bows and even some stocking stuffer lip gloss and only paid $103 total for it all! That, to me, is amazing! With my previous purchase for my younger daughter earlier in the week, I had 3 dresses, 2 pairs of shoes, 3 sets of bows, 1000 little girls hair rubber bands and lip gloss for $130 total for three beautiful princesses at Christmas time! I don’t know about you, but I think that is pretty darn good deal! Especially since these dresses are high quality and can be handed down in later years!
When we got our order my girls were asleep. So I pulled the dresses out and smiled so large, I probably shined brighter than the lights on my tree. Imagining my wonderful daughters in such lovely dresses – singing at their Christmas concerts, standing in Church, opening presents from loved ones – I was truly proud.
The next day I dresses them up and grabbed my camera. This was a memory I definitely wanted to capture! As they played in the yard, twirling in their dresses and stepping gently in their new shoes, I snapped away hoping I caught their happiness. The dresses are perfect, beautiful and fit just like they should! I can not wait to have my girls out and about in these dresses all month long!
If you are in the market for some awesome holiday or winter clothing for your children, head to Cookie’s Kids first. And then come back and tell me all the ways you have fallen in love with this store too!

Get Your FREE Prescription Sun Glass Lenses When You Buy Glasses Coupon
I have learned through my neighbor recently that quality, prescription sunglasses can be quite expensive. Especially if you want lenses that will help protect your eyes from harmful UV rays and other environmental dangers.
A few weeks ago, she called me and asked that I help her decide whether to replace her glasses OR her sunglasses. She was headed to Florida and needed both badly. But as a single mom, her funds were limited. Unfortunately, this was before I found out that there is a coupon out there, courtesy of your HOYA eye care professional, that allows the user to buy a pair of high quality lenses and get the sun glass lenses for FREE!
Find YOUR HOYA Professional Today!
I know that if she had this coupon and had taken it to her eye care professional, she could have come out with both glasses and sunglasses and would not have had to wear bulky, store bought, sunglasses over her glasses while on vacation. That is just not a good look, after all!
Have you heard of HOYA Vision? Learn a little more and see why these lenses are a cut above the rest!

SureFlap MicroChip Cat (& Small Dog) Door Review + Discount Code
You guys know I have a love for pets. Cats, dogs, rabbits and so on. But one thing that absolutely drives me nuts is having to head over the the door time after time to let out my two dogs. They never want to go out at the same time, they want to come in separately and when it is squirrel hunting time, they scratch and bark and basically make a ruckus until someone lets them out. Dog doors -and cat doors, resolve that issue!
But having a doggie door in the country is dangerous. You never know what might wander in! So I LOVE the SureFlap.com Microchip Cat Door that I got to review for you guys!
This door is great! It uses the microchip that your pet has to allow access through the door. Only those pets that the door recognizes the chip from can come in!! So stray cats, rodents and anything else that might want to scurry through this battery operated door that is made of sturdy plastic instead of flimsy rubber, are locked out. And the installation is easy and done in no time!
After seeing that my “little” dog was a little too tall for the door (he is NOT a tiny little Bichon as advertised, but a Labra-Doodle… whole ‘nuther post) I happily “donated” my door to a friend who has a tiny dog and cats and a problem with other strays trying to get in. This is the PERFECT door to eliminate other animals from coming into your home!
Check out our slide show below to see how easy it is to install:
We have had numerous dog doors over the years and I have to say, after watching the install and use of the door at my friends, this one is a much higher quality and will last a lot longer than the ones you get that have the thin plastic flaps. And if you have a small dog, like the one in the slide show that easily fits through the door, you basically eliminate it’s ability to chew on this door. For anyone who has had to hunt down a replacement flap for a door a dog chewed through, you’ll appreciate that little perk!
And once my friend had her door in she programmed her little dogs code in and the dog started using it within seconds! I can not tell you how intelligent this design is! The door is built like a tunnel so that your cat or small dog has to stick their head into the tunnel to have it’s chip read. This prevents another animal from pulling the door open from the outside! Not only that, the door’s strong magnetic strip locks the door in place when not in use creating an air tight seal.
Get your SureFlap Microchip Cat (and small dog) door using discount code MOMBLOG12 at checkout and SAVE 10% NOW through May 31, 2012! I can tell you that this one is well worth the price!!
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Mom Blog Society Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
