to take advantage of the Nivea Deal at CVS . The month long deals ends on the 29th, buy $15.00 worth and get $5.00 Extracare bucks . Even if you have done this deal before, you may still be able to do it again. The limit was raised to 5. I stopped by today to take advantage of the Old Spice Money maker I told you about last week, so I grabbed my Nivea while I was there. I also picked up some Pretzel M&M's because they are just so good!  The first store I went to was out of Old Spice so I went to my other store for it.

~Ebeanstalk.com~

A few weeks ago I reviewed Ebeanstalk.com.They so graciously sent Lily   Felix Fire Truck  . Lily absolutely LOVES this toy!  Felix's soft padded "body" makes this so safe for her so I don't worry about her getting hurt.  Just a click of a switch and the lights flash intriguing my little girl. Pull the hose and the truck rumbles. Lily is almost crawling and once she is I Know this toy will be played with even more!   Lily really enjoys pushing Felix around, and I really enjoy knowing she is safe.
