As a homeschool mom I've always loved that little saying. We don't ever really stop homeschooling; our crazy schedule just keeps us going as the wind blows, lol! But I must admit I can't help myself when all the back-to-school-sales start raging around. Seriously, who can resist a brand new pack of Ticondaroga's, the pencils that write-like-liquid-that-have-that-lovely-woodsy-smell-when-you-open-the-pack not to mention getting them for $1 at Five Below? Okay yes, I admit my problem but I just keep embracing it anyway.
Remember this time of year you really don't have to pay over $1 for any basic school supplies, just be vigilant about watching the sale ads. You can check some here You can check some here.
Now don't do like I did last year and buy lots of supplies at incredible prices, hid them in "places the kids won't find and get into," and unfortunately I kept myself from them too cause this crazy mind could not remember where I hid everything! Hmmm, I need to remedy that this year. Beepers maybe? Flashing lights? Nope, that'll bring the scavengers to them too. Oooo, post-its! That's my new obsession, I suuuuuuuure like to flag stuff. Now if only I could find my post its..........
Happy Shopping! :^)
