Part comedian, part Dad, part athlete. He will boss around your children while they play ball.
Just as angelic as she looks, this girl could easily raise a Village by herself, and all the children would grow up to be President.
Self proclaimed, she would be a webkinz dog. Because, "they're cute, and puppies are too. And they're sweet and they always get along with other puppies."
This mini-Martha Stewart can handle ANY craft you send her way. She isn't all bows and rainbows, she's got karate kid moves!
Not "Pick-Me-Up" like caffeine, she wants you to pick her up! AND NOW!
Anything that can be destroyed WILL be destroyed!
Practically Perfect in Every Way for now! Nicknamed "The Panda" she is rolly polly and lives by the motto, "the little one, is KING!"
The resident Labradoodle, Miller got his name because Mom won and got to name the baby! Need something chewed up? He'll take care of it. Especially if it's expensive..
Any way to get a breakdown of prices? There is $10 in prurex alone so that would mean she got everything else for only $7! Would love to see details to duplicate.
I would appreciate a break down too:) I’m not understanding how it’s a money maker…good shopping trip though!!
I think what made the biggest difference was that she also had $16ECB from the previous week.
Yes but if you deducted the ecb it would have been $17 out of pocket which i would be happy to pay!
Very True!
How does the B1G1 coupon works for a B1G1 50% off sale? Thanks!
Perhaps they gave her the full price off for the Head and Shoulders with the B1G1 free coupon…but since it was on sale for B1G1 50% 0ff, the difference came off of her other products?
