$2 printable Huggies Coupon

Huggies is changing the name of their diapers from Gentle Care and Natural Fit to Little Snugglers and Little Movers. At my local Kroger store, there was a boxed clipped onto the shelf next to the diapers holding little flyers to take.

On the back of the flyer, it says "Click in for BIG SAVINGS" and sure enough, if you go to www.huggiesenjoytheriderewards.com and register, you will be given a $2 off your next purchase of the newly named diapers. You must enter the following code to access the coupon once you have registered:

TKHNF-RLPLS-TRPGB

I picked up another flyer today to make sure that the code was the same on all of them. Also, my Kroger already has the newly named diapers on the shelf so I was able to get a pack for a great deal!

Who knew I would have a shoe fetish?

Well, only sorta. I love to dream about them for my little one. I don't ever actually go through with buying them though. But I sure do love the chance to win a pair! The picture to the left is just a sample of what is sold and the winner actually gets to choose which pair to win!

Free Country Music!

I am one of those people who like all types of music. You know, one of those people when asked to make a decision on what to listen too, I will say that annoying answer "Oh, I like anything!". It is annoying because it adds no help to the person who is asking. Oh, I digress...

People Magazine is giving away 11 free country music songs from up and coming artists such as... Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, Gloriana, Caitlin and Will, and more. Click here to access People Magazine's site and the free MP3's. Follow the directions listed under each artist to download the free music and then enjoy!

Thanks to Frugal in Virginia for posting this information!

Shopping Cart Mishap

I have three children and I am usually toting all three of them to the grocery store with me. It became a challenge when my baby was born because my son, who became the middle child, was still too young to walk. Well, let me rephrase that. He could walk alright. He could walk and touch and grab everything that he saw.

I was so thankful when my local Kroger got the new double-wide buggies. Do you have these? They have two places in the front of the buggy for two (2) children to sit! Whoo-hoo! My son can safely sit upfront and the carrier can also be upfront.

Well, a couple weeks ago I had my two that needed to ride in the front of one of these buggies and my oldest walking beside me to the car, cart was not full, just several bags. It is my practice to push my cart up against my car to prevent it from rolling as I put my children safely in the car.
Can you guess where this is going?

I put all three children in, went to the back of my car to load my groceries and my cart was gone. For some reason when the parking lot was put in for this Kroger, there is a very visible slope to it. My buggy had gotten tired of waiting for me, caught one of the gusts of wind that day, and ran away. Across the driving lane, down six or seven parking spaces and into the side of an older vehicle.

The owner of said vehicle was standing beside his truck looking at the buggy that had plowed into it, leaving a very impressive dent. Did he watch it hit his truck? Did he park and as he was getting out hear the "thud" and then get out? Did he dash to get it as he returned to his vehicle from being inside the store? I will never know.

I do know that I am blessed that my car insurance covered the cost of the dent to be pulled out and the rental car while it was being fixed. I don't think that I would have or could have done anything differently than I did. I shudder to think of a different scenario: that buggy up against his car with one or two of my children in it.

How do you handle three small children and a shopping cart?
