Couponing

I have been wanting to coupon for quite awhile. I have tried a few times and got a few good deals but it's time to really start trying to get more things for free. 




I'm going to start by researching online different styles of couponing. I really hate the cutting out and sorting thing so I'm thinking I'm going to save by date but I need to learn more about it.


I am also going to try and find people that get the newspaper but don't use coupons that I can get extra coupons for. I also know that there are coupon inserts at the stores in the free paper stacks so I'm going to start looking for those. I also heard that if you talk to your newspaper delivery person you can get any extra coupons that they don't put in the newspapers so now just to figure out how to talk to that person.


I'm really excited to get this all started and going so I can start saving my family more money. We haven't quite figured out where we will put our stock pile of items as our house doesn't have the room and we share a garage with the neighbor but I think we will just start and then figure it out. My idea for now is to use space at my parents house and tell them that if they help me get the coupons and let us use the space they can use whatever is in our stock pile room. We will see what happens. 


Not sure how soon I will have updates on how this is going but I'm going to try and spend time this week getting things started. Since I have tried before I have some idea of what I need to do and I already have the binders I need, although I'm probably going to change the way I store my coupons. 


As I learn and figure this all out I will share what I'm doing! I'm so excited to get started! If anyone has tips you would like to share or links to other blogs or websites that are helpful I would love to have you share them.


Thanks!

The ABC's of Our Family

I got a great idea from this lovely  blog  about doing a ABC photo book through out the year. Each week taking one photo that goes along with a letter. I have seen lots of great ideas for different photo blog ideas but all seem like to much work and something that I know I wouldn't be able to do. This one seems reasonable for our crazy life.  So to start off I have chose a great picture that I took of Rex and M playing together one day when he got home from work. Rex is so ADORABLE in this picture I just knew this was what I had to use! Plus I already know what I'm using for next week even though the picture hasn't been taken yet.  So here it is.......ADORABLE Rex playing with his Daddy! Oh I just can't get enough of this guy. Also as a little side note to how adorable he is...he kept posing for the camera once I got. He didn't care that Mommy was watching him play and wouldn't even look at me but soon as the camera was out he had to keep turning and...

Bikini Body Mommy Challenge Update!

So we are starting week 8 (I think). It's been a few weeks since I have officially sat down and updated on how I have been doing. Week 6 I did pretty good. The 4 am workouts were starting to wear on me so I decided to try and get a workout in after my hubby left for work but before the kids got up. Some days that went OK and other days not so well. I did however get several workouts in with the boys awake and they went pretty well. Monkey tired to join in with me and it was quite fun to watch. Of course he couldn't keep up with the workouts and took many breaks but it was fun to have him involved. This week I plan to do cardio days at 4 am in the gym because they are easier than trying to complete in the house. But for the non-cardio days I will do them in the house in the morning. That way I'm not completely exhausted everyday. Now for week 7. I have no idea even what the workouts were for last week. I didn't even look once! I have good reason though. My hubby h...

Baby Bumpdate: Week 35

35 Weeks! That means only 5 left!!!! Holy cow!!! I think I'm starting to freak out just a little!!! How far along? 35 Weeks! Yea! How big is baby?  He's about 18 inches and just over 5 pounds. Weight gain? I gained a pound last week. Maternity Clothes?  Of course. I'm living in tanks right now because of the heat. Just wish I had more shorts to wear. Stretch Marks?  Nothing new. Just the ones from before and Monkey. Sleep? With this cold I'm not sleeping much. I'm getting a little better and able to sleep about 4 to 6 hours at night and then at nap time I'm able to get 1 or 2 more hours of sleep. However, I'm still exhausted especially because of the heat. It just drains all my energy. Even when I'm sitting in the shade under a fan. Of course it's only June so I'm not sure how this heat thing will effect me in July :/ Best Moment this Week?  Monkey kissing my belly before he went down for a nap. It was so cute. He ...
