I am back! Persil coupon problem!

Hi everyone! I trying to get back on the blog. As you all know, I now have 3 kids, am a stepmother to 4. I started couponing again and it has been a blast getting the ball rolling again. The only thing I do not like is that I pulled a bunch of coupons I saw a Walmart employee putting on the Persil bottles and I kindly asked her if I can snag them and he said it was okay so I snatched all 8 of them to only find out that none of them would scan when I tried to use them. I have been upset. I am thinking about writing to Persil and asking them what is going on since they are about to expire soon and I need me some coupons. I have a house to maintain and a lot of loads to be washing. What do you all think?

DC Comics Dad!

This review comes a little late to the blog but it was posted to influenster and for that I do apologize. These came in from Influenster and this couldn't have come at a perfect time. These are from Paladone and are Batman Logo Glasses and came in a set of two. I gifted them to the father of my children and my best friend. They were amazing and were protected in the packaging that they didn't break. The design was super cute and were matte except for the Batman logo. They were perfect for him for when he wants to just hangout with his friends and drink. I took pictures of him receiving the gift from some of our kids. He really appreciated the gift. You can find some of their drinkware when you go visit their site here Paladone 

THE MANN 2024: THE BEST IN MUSIC & THE PERFORMING ARTS THIS SPRING, SUMMER & FALL IN PHILADELPHIA

PHILADELPHIA (April 25, 2024) – New genre match-ups, a variety of musical artists to suit every taste, movies under the stars, massive festival experiences, and intimate, moving performances – the 2024 season at the Mann Center for the Performing Arts is again shaping up to be big with more concerts, more artists, and more memories for audiences to make on the Mann’s welcoming 22-acre campus in Fairmount Park.

On the heels of earning three 2024 Philadelphia Inquirer Philly Favorites awards, the Mann’s upcoming season has something for everyone, with nearly 50 performances already announced across multiple stages. The Philadelphia Orchestra’s summer residency will bring the classics to life with a modern twist, and BalletX will showcase innovative contemporary ballet as it returns for year three of its residency. Patrons will see film favorites with the Movies @ the Mann series, enjoy the return of Jazz Under the Stars Presented by Cadillac, connect with the venue’s immersive Downstage @ the Mann experience, and find chart-topping, touring, new, and all-time favorite artists are all part of the schedule.

"Last year was the biggest season ever at the Mann, and much of that success can be attributed to our booking partnership with Live Nation Philadelphia. Our 2024 season promises to reach new heights again," said Catherine M. Cahill, president and CEO of the Mann. "With our lineup full of movies, classics, hip hop, jazz, rock, and more, our Fairmount Park campus will be alive with the sounds of spring, summer, and fall, beginning in just a few short weeks. This season, our very special Downstage @ the Mann series, already in its third year, will lift up the idea of acceptance and hope with beautiful performances that share stories of the LGBTQ+ experience. It’s going to be a very special Mann season, and we can’t wait to welcome you back!”
