Hailey's Helpful Hints

The Giveaway results are in and the top store amongst readers is...drum roll please...TARGET!!! Every one of the readers who entered the giveaway listed Target in their top three stores except for one. To be honest, I wasn't shocked. What person doesn't love a one stop shop?!? Besides Wally-world, there aren't many other places where you can pick yourself up a bathing suit, a kid's birthday gift, laundry detergant, a new hairdryer, inexpensive picture frames and bread. I think all you Target shoppers will be happy to know that new reports indicate that although Walmart has built its entire retail brand around the proposition that it "always" offers the lowest prices, Target is now the lowest priced powerhouse!! According to a recent comparison that consisted of 22 common grocery goods such as milk, cereal and rice; 10 general merchandise products such as clothing and home furnishings; and three health and beauty items, Target's prices are now lower than th...

What tickled my fancy this week? For one, I was elated to hit the 10,000 page views milestone in such a short amount of time. Thank you for being faithful readers of Hailey's Helpful Hints. I can't tell you how much fun I am having bringing you daily tips, tricks and product picks! Speaking of product picks - and the main focus of this Fancy Friday post. When I first started this blog, there were some topics I told myself I wasn't going to rant and rave about. Politics and religion being two at the top of the list. Today however I am going to break my "religious" commitment because I feel every parent should know about the " Will and Wisdom " series. Chase was recently given a set of Will and Wisdom books and after reading them I am a HUGE fan. Each story follows the adventures of a strong-willed 10 year old boy, Will, and his best friend, Wisdom, who happens to be both a fun-loving guinea pig and Bible Scholar. The series features a timeless virtue {Per...
