Cha-Ching

So if you know me, you know that I love a bargain. My new hobby, obsession, possession. Couponing. Bargain hunting.
I've found two great sights and there are probably more but I am not overwhelming myself at the moment.
A wonderful blog: Living Rich with Coupons. Miss Cindy finds the deals and coupon match ups and posts them. Saves a lot of work for busy moms like me.
And Couponmom.com. Sort of the same thing but not in blog form.

So I went to Rite-Aid this week and these were my deals.
Crest mouth rinse-FREE
Crest toothpaste-FREE
Oral-B toothbrush-FREE
Gilette proFusion power razor-97 cents
2 Brilliant Brunette Conditioners-$1.75 each

It's like putting money in my pocket.

If you have any coupons or great deals, send them my way.

And I wANt to hear about your great deals too.

I also want to remind you about ShopAtHome. There is a link off to the side. If you do any online shopping you need to use this. It's a website that offers you cash back at your favorite stores. I use it all the time. Just this week I received a check for $32. My to date cash back is $289.00. How would you like that? So use the link at the right and we both earn extra cash.

And don't forget, keep couponing.

All Aboard

Here are some pictures from Nicholas' 3rd Birthday Party. Thomas the Train themed.

Boys

This is what my boys are up to these days:

Nicholas "reading" his Toys R Us catalog on the potty.


Alexander: Pushing himself up after nap to look at me through the crib bars.

Does life get better than this?

Behind

I am of course behind as usual. I have a ton of birthday photos to post of Nicholas' birthday. I haven't done an Alexander post in forever. And oh how he's changing. So keep checking back. I'll get to it one of these days.
Thanks.

Tears

This day always makes me sad. It's the day my parents leave to go back home.
They have been here for six days. I love having them here. They are such great people.
It always makes me wish we lived closer. 4 states and 12 hours is just too far.
I am having a loss for words to express this adequately.
I miss them already. And it's only been 20 minutes.
I'll give my kids extra hugs today and be thankful for their visit and that we have each other.
