Litewear Christmas Apparel Now At WalMart
I love dressing my girls up for the holidays but let’s face it.

Festive Fashion For Less Than $20
I love to dress my girls in fun matching holiday outfits but I don’t have a ton of money to blow on custom embroidered boutique sets, especially for outfits they are going to wear to school. Sometimes I want something a little nicer, however, than the Christmas t-shirts at Target or Old Navy.

Spending Money To Save Money
My mom is truly a personal shopper for me (lucky me.) She will call me from a store to let me know about a great bargain she has found for me or the girls.
Today she e-mailed me to let me know that Publix has a $5 coupon in this week’s sales flier, good if you [...]
