money saving momma!

I'm just gonna give myself a little pat on the back :)

In talking about being more wise about our spending, clipping coupons, etc - I just have to brag about my deals this weekend. I went to CVS, and took advantage of some of their Extra Care bucks deals...combined w/coupons, etc. I got $134.31 worth of stuff for $45.23!!!! Toilet paper, soap, makeup, diapers, wipes, miscellaneous other items we use on a regular basis.....

There's nothing like a hobby that doesn't cost anything, AND actually saves you money!

Here's a couple of pictures of a bubble Easter here at our house last night!

Sam, being his cute little self!!

Hank playing with bubbles!!

Even grandmas get their hunt on....

I love this picture. My grandma(left) and Memaw(right) - back in the day. Checking out their baskets of Easter eggs! I guess this goes to show you that even in old age, you can still have a little fun :)

These two sweet little ladies have been such a blessing on my life as well as countless others. They will be missed dearly this Easter, but have both gone to be with our Saviour and will celebrate with HIM! There is nothing greater.

Hope you all have a wonderful Easter!

Ramblings....

Ok, so someone flipped me off on my way to work today (an older lady in the passenger seat of a Lexus). Not even sure why, except maybe she was upset I was going my usual 5 over the speed limit and she wanted to go 30 over? Who knows. What a way to start off the morning!

A few of us at work have started couponing and I'm saving a TON of money - on things I buy on a regular basis. In past, I've tried couponing, but always end up buying things I normally wouldn't - resulting in spending more than I intend :) Now that I am understanding how to work the sales, etc - I am actually a bit upset with myself that I didn't start this sooner! It's extra work, but the savings has been worth it so far. I've got some favorite couponing blogs I enjoy reading on the right-hand side of my blog - if you're interested in checking it out.

Here's a fun picture of Sam that his Aunt Liz took at her house - I love this little guy so much!!!



OH! Two more things:

1. My friend Jennifer and her kiddos are collecting sock donations for her church's Mexico Mission trip in the fall. You should check it out - Socks Project!

2. I've added a subscription link on the upper left-hand side of our blog if you would like to subscribe to us by email. I'm not even really sure this works yet, but give it a try!

Oh geez....

Wasn't I supposed to have a little more time to prepare?!?!? lol.

From Sam is scootin'!

PS - That is Mr. Barkley whining in the background. He's still getting used to not being the center of attention :)

Little Sammy Butt Crack

"Little Sammy Butt Crack" - doesn't that totally sound like a fun poem or song we should come up with???

For anyone who knows my husband - this is even more hilarious than just baby plumber crack :)

Gotta love Oklahoma

Out our front door yesterday morning:

 

Out our front door this morning:

 

Sam is 6 months!

I am so behind! Sam celebrated his 1/2 birthday this past Monday! Time is flying by - I'm sure by next week he'll be 18 and out on his own. :( He had his 6 mo. checkup and the doc said he's a happy healthy baby!

We went to get 6 month pictures done and LOVE them! We ordered 5 poses I think, but we got the cd of all the photos they took. Here's a link:

And here's a link of the photos I took over this last month:
