Those shoes aren't even cute.

That's what Hayden (the little girl I nanny, who I realize I've kept from mentioning until now for some reason) told me when I tried these shoes on at Target.

I bought them anyways though. I've learned not to take her 4 yr old criticism to seriously. Just last week she said I looked like a dog. And although I don't think of myself as a Beauty Queen or anything I'm confident enough to know I don't look like a dog.

Let's get back to the point of this post though. Which was......
Shoes!
Right.
Shoes on Clearance to be exact.
I snagged those boots up there for only $10! Can you believe it?? I couldn't hardly. They were originally $35. I have been eying those puppies since they were first released but wouldn't allow myself to buy them unless I got them on clearance. Last week they were down to $25, but still just couldn't do it. Then yesterday I remembered to check on them again and the heavens opened up and the angels sang as I read the price tag and found they were down to $10! And they had my size!
Also just about a month ago I found these shoes:

for only $5! Yep had my eye on those ones for a while too.
After these two glorious finds I decided I'm never paying full price for shoes at Target again.
What is my trick to finding these great deals you ask??
Visit several targets several times a week. Even several times a day.
Really, that's all there is to it.
I just go to target A LOT.
So basically I am a stalker of sorts.
I wish there was something more scientific to finding good deals but there isn't. I just have a lot of time to kill, so why not kill it finding awesome deals right??
Right.
And if you follow me on Instagram or Twitter I will usually give you a heads up about what's on clearance that week!

On another note I would like to give a big shout out to Self check out. It has made my anti-social personality such a happy camper. Seriously.
BEST.THING.EVER.
I Especially appreciated it yesterday when I had something else along with the shoes I had to buy that isn't always so fun to throw up on the register and have a guy ring you up for.
Ladies, you know what I mean right?? I don't have to actually say it do I?? If you don't know what I'm referring to then send me a message and we will chat ;)

So have you found any great deals at Target recently? Let me know!

Now excuse me, there are target bargains to be found!

A picnic and my spirit Animal.

I found a cute Little picnic basket while thrifting one day with my mom a while back and immediately suggested my friends and I have a picnic at the park. 

Which is exactly what we did!

I planned to blog about it right after but I forgot, and then I found the photos today and thought, I should blog about that!

I'm sure there is someone reading this thinking " Omg I am so glad she blogged about that, I was wondering if she ever went picnicking!"

And to that person, You are welcome.

I love my picnic basket in case you can't tell.

So after we had our picnic and had been sitting in the park for a while I look over and right next to us was a big pile of poop!! 

Thank Goodness by the time we noticed it we had already finished eating, we couldn't help but laugh at ourselves for not smelling it or noticing it the entire time we were sitting there. Right after we noticed the poop a few little kids came running past us and one of them just ran right through it.

It was one of those times where it seemed to happen in slow motion and we couldn't yell at her soon enough to stop it.

Oh well, I'm just glad it wasn't my kids poopy shoes I had to clean. 

After the picnic we did a little shopping and Hula and I made our first purchases at Sur la Table!!

We were super excited about it, and obviously had to document it right away via instagram.

You are probably dying to know what we bought right??

Of course you are.

Cookie cutters!!

Can you tell what shapes they are??

probably not because they kinda look obese.

Its a weenie dog, Lion & Unicorn.

I picked a weenie dog because we own a weenie dog duh. (I'm not the only person that refers to them as weenie dogs right??)

I picked a Unicorn because well It was a Unicorn, I don't really think I need a reason for buying a Unicorn shaped cookie cutter do I??

And last but not least a Lion because well If I had a spirit animal I think it would be a Lion. Mainly because when I blow dry my hair I look like one (try and tell me that's not a good enough reason, go ahead.) 

Well that's all for now folks.

Tell me, Do you ever picnic..........near poop???

And What is your spirit animal and why??
