Kohls

Kohls is a popular store in our family. My husband absolutely loves shopping at Kohls. He is the type that hates shopping. He loves all of the money you can "save" by shopping there. Obviously we know they jack the prices up high so they can make the sales sound really good. Don't tell him this though, it'll break his heart.

We usually make a family trip to Kohls on Sunday once or twice a month. Today was a bit different however, I went with my girlfriend who decided to come along with me! I got house things, I got stuff for Maddy and, of course, I got some clothes for myself as well. The main purpose of me going was to get a second set of bed sheets and I left with waaaay more than I needed. I realized today that Kohls is like target in the sense that you can never leave there with only the items you intended to buy. There's always something else that jumps out at you begging you to place it in your cart. I am thankful for the amazing coupons that help bring that tab down a little at the end. The kicker is when the cashier hands you the receipt along wth 60 dollars in Kohls cash for you to spend within the next week, which only means that another Kohls shopping day will take place in my very near future... Perhaps I will use it to snag this 6 in 1 glass serving tray that I've had my eyes on... Stay tuned.


P.S. For those of you wondering if my friend was as fortunate as I was with her shopping... she was... yes. she. was.

  1. Kohl's is such a trap! Just like Target! Isn't their goal to make you save more than you spend?

Intentions

I chose intentions as my "One little Word" this year. I was chatting about work/life with one of my best friends who has been in my life for over 17 years a few months ago and she gave me probably the best advice I needed in that exact moment, which was to set my intention each day before arriving at work. This happened to be around the same time that my colleagues were sharing their "OLW's" and I thought I would try it out as well. I thought about my conversation with my friend and it hit me...intentions... I wasn't sure if it was the right kind of word but it felt right to me. It is a word that could fit in every aspect of my life. I am constantly thinking about my intentions and they have quickly become the fuel of my day to day. Intentions. Setting  the  intention. Treating people with good intentions. Doing everything with the best intention no matter the situation. What's your "OLW"?

“You don’t sound like your name is Ana.”

My husband and I have pretty tricky names. Tricky for others to pronounce and even trickier when people try to spell them. We are really spoiled with delicious takeout options  in the area where we live and will oftentimes order in on the weekends. I’m usually the one to place the orders via the phone because I have dietary restrictions (low carb diet). When placing the orders I always tell the person on the phone my name is Ana just to avoid any confusion and it works like a charm. This morning was different. I was up pretty early feeding my niece and my ever so thoughtful husband asked if I wanted some breakfast takeout. We usually never order out for breakfast but today was different. We were too tired to cook. He dials the number to our favorite breakfast spot that’s about two minutes away from home. He places our order and at the end the person on the other line asks him; “what name should I put this order under?” He replies without thinking; “Ana...” We hear a long pause until a
Gratitude  On this last day of the blogging challenge I woke up feeling grateful. Grateful for the opportunity to participate in this challenge that forces me to find small parts of my day that stick out just enough to write about it. Grateful for waking up on this beautiful island on day two if our spring break vacation. Grateful for all the people I have around me everyday. Grateful for the opportunity I get to sit with the little humans and enhance their already wonderful minds. Grateful for my beautiful little family. And most importantly, grateful for this wonderful life.
