Here’s a back to school deal you don’t want to miss. Clean out the school bag from last year and take in all your old worn out 3-ring binders to Office Depot/Office Max and you’ll get $2 off any new binder. You can bring in up to 6 old binders per day for up to $12 off new Binders.
The best part is that they have Poly 1 inch binders on sale this week for $1!! That means you can trade up and not pay a dime!!
Also look for clearance binders starting at $2 in most stores (they would also be free).
Note: You must recycle and buy your binders on the same day. You’ll also still owe any tax due.
See all the deals at Office Depot/Office Max this week (there are some great penny items).
Cents of Style (one of my favorite clothing sites) is offering Kids Graphic tees for as low as $4.99 shipped (regularly $24.95). Use code BACK2KIDS to get the discount.
Go here to see the full selection of kid’s graphic tees, any shirt that is already marked down will be $4.99 after coupon code and any shirt that is still at full price will be $11.99 after coupon code.
Sizes range from 6 months to youth large in most styles.
Shipping is FREE on every order, no matter the size. If you do order $50+ (BEFORE the coupon code) you’ll see a pop up at checkout to get a FREE Pom-Pom Key Chain.
I grabbed three shirts, the free pom-pom key chain and still checked out for less than $24 shipped!
Sizes are selling out, so no pressure… but I wouldn’t wait.

I confess half way through the week I didn’t know if I was going to have good news to share… This past week my husband and I went away for two days alone. Not having kids to get up in the morning meant I also didn’t get up and exercise. So two days off from exercise and eating out way more than normal makes for a hard week on a diet. I also wasn’t so good about ordering the healthy options. Breakfast may have been buttermilk pancakes and lunch might have included a scoop of ice cream…
When we got home I was up a pound, but we are going to consider it not a “real” pound since it was gone a day later. That’s just the joys of being a girl I think. I can look at a glass of water and get bloated, and smelling dinner comes with calories too. Do guys struggle with this??
After a mid week slump though, I’m happy to report that I’m only one fifth of a pound away from my goal of being at 175 by this weekend!! The annual Becoming conference starts on Friday, so I have 4 more days to lose .2 pounds. I think I’ve got this! Not that I’m going to slack, really the bigger goal was 165 by 9/1 and that’s still going to be super tough to lose 10 lbs in a month. It can be done and is still in the healthy range, so I’m pulling up my big girl panties and plowing ahead.
This weeks numbers:
Starting Weight (20 weeks ago): 202
Last Week: 177.6
Current Weight: 175.2
Goal Weight: 165
My big goal this week is to still try for 5 workouts even while running a conference. So if you see me running around Lake Junaluska this weekend, feel free to join in! My other goal is water and a ton of it. I’m bad about drinking when I’m busy, so I’m strapping my water bottle to me. Now to avoid the cake room, chocolate bar and buttermilk pancakes…

Here’s another fun & easy craft that would make for a fun and personalized gift for anyone. Make DIY Quick Stitch coasters and get as personalized and artsy as you can, or go as simple as you want. My girls also helped, so as long as your kids are old enough to trust them with a needle than they can help too.

Materials Needed:
Cork Coasters
Yarn, various colors
Large Eye Needles
Felt
Hot Glue
Total for all the supplies is around $20 (the felt is the most expensive). That will be enough to make at least 6. You’ll have all the supplies to make even more than that you just need more coasters. If you grab two sets of coasters you would have 12 of them for less than $25.
One Note of the Cork coasters. You want to get some that aren’t paper then. These are the ones we got and they worked perfectly. If you go too thin they will rip through after a few needle holes are made. Ours were right at 1/4 inch think.
DIY Quick Stitch Coaster Directions
Step 1: Decide on your design and trace it onto your coaster. I went kindergarten and cut it out of paper and traced that onto the coaster. You can trace with lines or make dots around. Since I had children helping I made dots to help them space out their stitches.
Some design ideas: Simple Shapes, Monogram letters, Easy Patterns

Step 2: Tie a knot in your yarn and start from the bottom coming up for your first stitch.
Step 3: Follow your design or pattern around always leaving knots on the back side of the coaster. Don’t come up right at another stitch, too many holes in one area can make your cork coaster weak. Finish by tying a knot with the thread on the back side of the coaster. Trim any strings on the back side as flush as possible.
