Friday's Favorite Things - Linking Up {1}

This is my first post on
Friday's Favorite Things!!
Every Friday I'm going to blog about something that is a favorite of mine.

My favorite that I'm sharing with you today is....(drum roll)


Stacy's Pita Chips are my new favorite chip!! 
These are baked NOT FRIED with 0g trans fat and 0mg cholesterol and taste oh so good!!

I LOVE the texture, I LOVE the crispiness, I LOVE the taste

They come in the following flavors:
Simply Naked
Parmesan Garlic & Herb (my favorite)
Multi grain
Cinnamon & Sugar
Italian Harvest
Garden Veggie Medley

These are great alone or with a dip...click HERE for recipes.

I get mine @ Wal Mart....if you haven't seen them at your store you can purchase them online here: 
Stacy's Pita Chips and also they are 20% off right now!!

Head to your supermarket or buy a bag online today....you are missing out if you have not tried these!

Leave me a comment if you've tried Stacy's Pita chips and let me know what you think.

On my Friday's Favorite Things I would love for everyone to link up about a favorite thing of yours that you have blogged about.  Whether it's food, clothing, a craft, etc! 
This is my first linking up and I'm using just the link not a thumbnail...only because I want to make sure I know what I'm doing before spending the money on it.  Be patient with me and hopefully next week I will be using the thumbnail pics.
Once you've linked up...please grab my button and post on your blog letting everyone know that you linked up here....THANKS.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Bargain Find {1}

This past Memorial Day weekend my sons were in a soccer tourney in Chicago.......


This is my oldest (blue uniform).....

And

This is my youngest (needs a haircut)....

We had a great time despite the rain on Saturday which pushed back some games by 5 hours and some to be postponed until the next day....SO that meant mom got some shopping in.  :)

While at the Woodfield Mall I went into a store called Fans Edge and in their clearance area I found this...



My son is a Chicago Cubs fan and this Big Bobblehead was broken from the base.  I thought with a little super glue and some color touch up....how can I beat it.  This retails for $19.99 and was marked down to $4.95. 

So around the shoe area it needed some permanent black marker......



and then some super glue to attach it back to the base and here he is all back to good......



This is going to make a great birthday present for my soon to be teenager



I just love a bargain...he's back in the box and ready to be wrapped.

Have you found any good bargains lately??  If so please share.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!!

Father's Day Ideas {1}

Father's Day is gonna be here before you know it.  Sunday June 19th to be exact.  Have you started thinking about what you are going to get or do for that special dad in your life?   Growing up without a father I never got into Father's day it was just another day to me until I had children.  However now that my husband and I are divorced (not a bad thing...we get along better now than we ever did) well I don't go all out like I used to but still get him something for the boys to give him just as he does for me on Mother's Day.  So I've been looking around for some ideas and here is what I've came across so far.....warning....they are pretty cute!

Golf Wreath......FORE!



Necktie Cookie on a Stick....loving the colors!



Build Dad a Firepit!



Movie Party Bucket

Homespun With Love


Make dad the perfect burger on the grill....How to tips

Singing With Birds



Make Dad a shirt pillow of his favorite team


Decor-ganize

Hope that helps give you some ideas for that special guy. 

Have a great Monday....ummm I mean Tuesday! :)
