White Cloud Supreme Diapers from Wal-Mart Discontinued?

So as is the story with everything I like and fall in love with and vow to buy until the day I die... my very favorite brand of diapers, White Cloud Supreme, from Wal-Mart, is being discontinued. *Insert Charlie Brown UUUUUGGGGHHHH here*

I sent hubby out last week for diapers and he came back with the wrong kind. He said he looked but they were out. "They're never out! You must be wrong!" So I go out a few days later and sure enough - they're wiped out of everything but a few of the smaller sizes. I tried a few other Wal-Mart's and finally asked an employee tonight - Yep, they're not making them or the Parent's Choice diapers anymore. And she had no clue why because they were their best selling diapers.

Does anyone use these? Are you bummed? Wish Wally World would have given some notice? I guess I'm moving on to my next favorite brand - Huggies - until we're potty trained - which shouldn't be too long.

What's your favorite brand of diapers???

Decorating the Play Room

I'm having way too much fun decorating my LO's play room. (aka the office we temporarily stole from Daddy) I found these wall decorations at Michael's - so cute and easy to put up and perfect for this room because when we do turn it back into the office, everything peels right off. I also found some cute frames on sale - perfect for a play room - bright colors, plastic frames - and they were only $2.50. I figured it would be a nice alternative to a cork board to display his artwork.

Get a good look because I'm sure I will move everything around a hundred times by tonight... then it will all be in the exact same spot as when I started. :p

Bath & Body Works Deals and New Movies

I hope you all had a great Valentine's Day weekend filled with chocolate, flowers, stuffed animals and oh yea... lots and lots of LOVE!

Hubby and I were able to sneak out to a movie together since the in-laws were nice enough to come up for a visit and babysit - thanks! We saw Confessions Of A Shopaholic. It was SO cute and I really enjoyed it. A definite chick flick but that's what Valentine's Day is all about - dragging your man to a girlie movie and eating lots of popcorn together! Both of the leading characters in it were just adorable and had great chemistry together. I'm a little too lazy to do a real review tonight but trust me, it was cute! lol Oh and Hugh Dancy??? Yum!

We did some shopping before the movie and I found some great sales at Bath & Body Works. They had a whole section of lotions, body wash, body splash, etc that were 75% off! I picked up a couple bottles of Midnight Pomegranate just because I had never used that scent before and the tester smelled SO good. Turns out the only reason they're on sale is because they decided to change the style of the bottle. So right next to the ones on sale were the regularly priced, new bottles for $10.50 each. Mine were marked $9.50 and after they took off 75% they came to about $2.50 each! I'll glady take the old bottle for that price. I was just glad it wasn't being discontinued. Every time I find a scent I like, they stop making it. (Yes, I'm talking to you Yankee Candle who stopped making LAVENDER candles!!!)

We also watched a newly purchased dvd tonight, one we missed at the theaters, Baby Momma. It was pretty funny and I was really happy with the ending and how they wrote it all out - even if it was a little predictable. The previews really made it look like a foul, raunchy kind of movie but it wasn't at all. It had a good moral, happy ending, yadda yadda. I liked it. Of course I like Tina Fey so maybe I'm partial.

Anyway, that's all my reporting for today! Hope you all have a wonderful week ahead. I'm off to check out some blogs now. :)

Sick Bubby & His Favorite Puzzle

My little man is sick today. He woke up from yesterdays nap not feeling well so I took him into the doctors this morning. Most likely a virus and I hope it doesn't get worse. He had pneumonia over the holidays and I do NOT want to go there again. Poor little guy was miserable!

On sick days he loves to snuggle and play with momma and of course I love it. He likes to get all his books and puzzles out and cuddle up with me. One of his favorite things right now is a new puzzle we bought the other day. He's right at that age where he is starting to learn shapes and colors so I found this Melissa & Doug First Shapes Jumbo Puzzle. I love wooden toys, especially Melissa & Doug stuff!

Happy Wednesday everyone! Tonight is LOST! Yay!!!

Eddie Bauer In-Store Deals

By the looks of this blog I look like a shopaholic - I promise I'm not but there are just so many good deals out there right now! Usually the end of season sales are pretty good but this year I think they're really making them insanely good due to the crappy economy.

Eddie Bauer is having an awesome sale - %50 off already marked down clearance items. So anything that is clearance get's another %50 off! They have tons of winter stuff - pants, jeans, cords, sweaters, jackets, etc but the best deal I found was on the pants. They had an entire rack of jeans, cords, cargos and khakis that were all marked $19.99. So after the extra %50 off they came to $10! SUCH a good deal for Eddie Bauer quality.

I ended up with the Classic Fit Boot Cut Corduroys in Sage. Original price was $49.50 and they were on sale for $10.

And another thing I'm noticing is that some companies are offering these deals in store - not online. The same ones I got today in the store are selling for $19.99 online.

Happy Shopping!

Shoe & Movie - aholic

So I just couldn't keep myself away from Sears today while we were at the mall. lol I went back and got hubby a pair of the zip up shoes from Lands End and got another lace up style for myself - can't beat $13 bucks!!!

I also saw He's Just Not That Into You. Very cute, chick flick. I really enjoyed it and was happy that all the good people had good things happen to them and all the rotten people had rotten things happen to them. lol I will try to write a review on it later but if you're looking for a Valentine's flick to see with your sweetie pie this year - this is a good one. Plus, gotta love that it took place in Baltimore, right on the water.

Anyway, that's about all from me for today. Hope you're all enjoying some of this gorgeous weather we're having!

Creamy Chicken with Herbs & Rice - Crockpot Recipe

I've found I'm on the crock pot kick again. Maybe it's the cooler weather, maybe it's the convenience... maybe it's the great smell that fills the entire house while dinner slowly cooks all day long. Tonight I'm making my own creation so we'll see how it turns out. It's not that original but whatever! :)

Creamy Chicken with Herbs & Rice

Ingredients:

1 package of boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 can of Campbell's Cream of Chicken with Herbs condensed soup
1 medium onion cut into large chunks
1 cup of brown rice
1 cup of water
1 cup of milk
1 tablespoon of butter
A little salt & pepper

Directions:

Put the chicken in the crock pot first. Mix soup and milk in a separate bold until well blended. Then add rice, onion, water, butter, salt, pepper and soup mixture to crock pot and cook on high for about 4 hours. I would have cooked it lower and longer but I started late.

This recipe is so easy and the chicken will come out SO moist. It will probably be too juicy and tender to even get out of the crock pot in one piece so I usually just mix everything up before serving.

For a side I'm making salad and/or green beans. Mmmmm! And now I must go because I'm drooling all over the keyboard.
