We might be in trouble tonight if Steven is sleeping this hard at 7:00pm. He’s still figuring out that he’s only supposed to sleep like this after dark.

A huge thanks to my mom-in-law for all of these coupon inserts. I’ve been a zombie lately and haven’t been very motivated to get a Sunday newspaper, so I was very excited to see these. Just looking through a couple of pages I’ve found $4.50 in savings on things we really need. It’s almost sad… Continue reading Coupons!!

I love working with kids.  You can be a complete dork and they’ll look at you like you’ve lost your mind, but love you all the same (maybe even more).  I had a funny experience on Friday with my kids at school…now this was funny to me, but it was also 45 minutes before the… Continue reading Where's the bunny?

I was reminded again on Thursday how blessed I am to work with such caring people. I was dreading going back to work all week. Not only being away from Steven and Macy, but knowing how exhausting it would be. Teaching is a pretty high energy job and on normal nights I need a lot… Continue reading Hi ho, hi ho, its back to work I go…

Poor Doug. Every time Macy sees the older boys riding their bikes in the cul-de-sac she runs to the door. Then she knocks on it and yells “hey boys!” I think my husband is destined to go gray early with this girl.

If he sleeps soundly like this, can you imagine how much fun he was in the womb?!

Macy has fallen before and gotten a couple scratches, but this trip to the concrete brought enough blood for me to declare it her first official boo boo. She took it like a trooper and only cried for a minute…and, bless her heart, never dropped the rocks she had collected. By the end of the… Continue reading First boo boo

I went back to work Thursday (more to come on that when I’m running on more than 4 hours of sleep and feel like I can clearly get thoughts from my brain to my keyboard…not happening this am). I was pretty bummed about it Wednesday night, so this is what my sweet husband made a… Continue reading I love my husband

Anyone who knows me well knows that I LOVE saving money and stretching a dollar to it’s limit. Doug and I are going to be starting a strict budget next month, so I’m taking on the task of getting all we need for less money. My friend Conner turned me on to the Money Saving… Continue reading "Couponing" Momma

If I could discipline myself to eat the same meals that Macy eats I’d never have to diet again. It’s horrible that I make sure she eats healthy well balanced meals, but then don’t do it myself. I’m going to start setting some food goals for myself to get on the right track. More to… Continue reading If only…
