TomTom 140 GPS for $45.04 at Target

I saw this on slickdeals today and then went and found it at the Super Target by 685. So this is a TomTom 140 GPS and it was originally $180, but is now marked down to $45. You can also get a 2 year protection plan for $4. Not too shabby. I picked one up about 2 hours ago and there were 3 left. The guys said when they initially marked them down yesterday that they had 11, so if you are interested you really better jump on this one.

Free Girl's Clothes

I have a garbage bag full of girls clothes sizes 10-16, mostly in the 12 range. Lots of things are from The Children's Place. If you would like it, call me and you can come and get it!
Thanks, Jeri

Once Upon A Child

There is a pretty good consignment store near Randall's called Once Upon a Child. Prices are okay but they pay pretty well for what you are selling to them. This Saturday they are having a sale...they will hand you a bag when you come in the store. Put as many clearance items (red slash through price tag) in the bag for only $15. Not too bad. I don't know how big the bag is, but if you even get 10 things in the bag, then that's only $1.50 each. Happy Shopping!

Evaluation Anyone?

We are flying out a specialist (and old family friend) to do an evaluation/set up a program for our Dallin. She is from Dallas. Her name is Donna Bateman and she runs Parenting with Purpose. She specializes in brain development particularly in children with special needs (brain damage, add, adhd, dyslexia, autism, etc). She has had A LOT of success (including with her own son). If anyone is interested in having an evaluation of their child done, we could set up times together so that you don't have to pay to fly her out here. The evaluation is $500, but includes A LOT. If you are interested, you can contact me for more information at valerieakellogg@gmail.com

Card Making

I have a huge family, and I like to make them all handmade birthday cards...so every January I make about 60 cards, and I thought it would be fun to make an activity out of it.

It will be next Monday, January 25th from 10:30am-12pm. Bring your supplies, bring your kids, and prepare to get lots done. (If you don't care about making cards, bring your scrapbook, knitting, whatever you want to work on, or just come as a play date.)

Just let me know if you are coming so that I can make sure to have enough work space for everybody.

Music Class - new semester

After having tons of fun with my toddler class in the fall, I'd like to do another semester for Winter and Spring.

Just a quick review...I hold a parent/toddler music class in my home on Thursday morning from 10:30am-11am. This class is designed for ages 18-24months. The cost is $5 a month. If this is something that you are interested in, I would love to have you join us. We will start this Thursday, January 14th. Please call or email if you have questions.

Stock up on citrus --Price might be going up!


Hi Ladies: You've probably heard on the news that this freezing cold weather might have an impact on the future price of citrus (citrus futures on Wal-Street soared this week in anticipation of low supply due to the freeze).

So if you want to stock up, HEB on 685 (and perhaps other HEBs, as well) are selling 5 lb. bags of grapefruit and naval oranges for just .97 cents this week! That's not per pound--but the entire bag!! Plus, strawberries are $1.50/lb!

Just FYI! :-)

No longer supporting a missionary----

----so now everything is falling apart :)

Does anyone have or know about someone who is getting rid of their washer and dryer?
Ours is about to fall apart, and I don't know how much longer I can depend upon them.
I"m looking for a cheap deal-- as I've mentioned, there are other things around here that are also needing to be worked on or replaced.
Must be an all electric set. No gas dryers.
Thanks!!

Free Christmas Tree


We have a 7 1/2 ft. Christmas Tree that we're getting rid of.
Does anyone want?? Come and pick it up.

The photo isn't too great....this was after we had put it in the box, and then quickly pulled it back out to snap a photo. Looks better when fluffed! :-)
