To this day, I am not sure how “Santa” managed to get my Cardboard Playhouse into my room and set the whole thing up while I was fast asleep, but finding it assembled in my room Christmas morning is something I will never forget. I LOVED that cardboard playhouse. Here’s your chance to score a cardboard playhouse, castle, carriage or space shuttle for your little ones for only $19.99 (normally $40!).

Every Friday, Mama M. hosts 5 Question Friday, here are my answers to her 5 questions. If you are feeling motivated, leave a comment answering the 5 questions about yourself, I love to learn about my readers!
Did you miss me last week? I was on a plane to NJ and just couldn’t get to posting on the go. But I am back and here are the 5 questions for Friday.
1. Do you feel guilty spending money on yourself?
Yep. We are on a tighter budget than ever before, so spending money on me seems so frivolous. I would much rather make sure my daughter and husband have everything (and more) that they could possibly need. I really don’t need anything… Like those boots still sitting in the bag to be returned because I really don’t need new boots this year…
Rereading that, my answer sounds a little depressing, but it really isn’t to me. I get more joy out of making my family happy than I do out of things for myself. So I would rather not spend money on myself so I can spoil my family. 
 Know what I mean moms?
2. How well do you know your neighbors?
I am a LUCKY lady! I live in a fantastic neighborhood and have wonderful neighbors! Growing up, we really didn’t know the people who lived adjacent to us, other than in passing. But I have an awesome family that lives next door with four great kids. I love having a neighbor that I can mosey over to borrow an egg (done that) or chat while the kids play (all the time). Plus she’s just plain cool! (Hi Maria!) On the other side, I have another great neighbor, and while are kids aren’t as close she’s also a great neighbor who would be there for me in a jiff (and I for her). PLUS all my daughter’s BFFs and their fab moms live just down the street. Play time for my daughter and for me is just a few blocks away. Yep, I LOVE my suburban life!
3. What age are you looking forward to being?
Interesting question since my birthday is in 4 days.:)  Last year I really struggled with turning 30 (gasp). Seriously, I was really bothered/depressed by leaving my 20s. This year, my birthday doesn’t really faze me, but at the same time, there isn’t really an age to look forward to specifically. I am just enjoying the ride.
4. Do you get excited when the mail comes? Why?
YES! I am like a kid at Christmas checking the mail everyday. The mailman bring so many wonderful things (as does the UPS and FedEx man!) — magazines, catalogs, freebies, birthday invitations, Christmas cards and so much more. I just love a good mail day, I wonder what’s in store for me today?
5. What is your earliest childhood memory?
Every time we make new memories with our daughter, I wonder what she will remember and I try to remember my own early memories. I think I have false early memories, things that I have seen pictures of so I think I remember the event but I really remember the photo. But the things I remember most from my childhood are little spinets of playing with my neighborhood friends, my birthday parties and my cousins. All of those memories make me smile, so I work hard to make sure my daughter makes similar happy memories of her own.
Update: METHOD50 coupon expired.
I just scored a super deal on a bunch of items from Diapers.com and Soap.com. Â Here’s what I got.
Grand total was only $18.86 shipped!
You don’t have to get all of the same items but here is how the basic deal works.
1. First add the Old Spice Body Wash, After Hours-1.7oz to your cart. Â Make sure you click on the eCoupon link to get the free Old Spice Body Wash, Fresh-18oz.
2. Next add (2) skincare products from Diapers.com. Â The cheapest I found are the Johnson’s Buddies Easy-grip Sudzing Bar – 2.45 oz. so add (2) to your cart. Â Then apply coupon code SDSKIN in your cart to get your free Episencial Sunny Sunscreen SPF 35 + 2 Free Gifts ($14.99 value)
3. Finally you need to add enough Method products to your cart to get your total to at least $25 for free shipping. Â Any of their products will do, I happen to love their laundry detergents and needed a soap refill. Once you have at least $25 in your cart, apply coupon code METHOD50 (valid today only – September 9th) and all your Method products will be 50% off.
There is no tax in Florida, and shipping was free which made my total $18.86. You can alter the deal by getting additional products that you may need.  If I had not gotten the soap refill, my total would have been under $16.  Awesome deal overall as the Method 50-load laundry detergent sells for $15.  Happy Shopping!
