Life

Her height gets her into trouble. She can open the other kind of door handles.

We love Lo Lo's! It's a great grocery store!

We also love Fisher Price little people.....

This is what nap time looked like at our house yesterday... teething girl... :(

Playing with the co2 detecter makes for one sad baby girl. [toooooo loud!]

Enjoy the Journey.

Couponing

And I made 16 cents..

Enjoy the Journey.

Hobbies

My hobbies have been good to me lately. :)

All of this (plus new headlight bulbs for my car) for $14.40

I forgot to take a before pic, so my before is halfway done. We got this dress from Jared's parents for Em and I found fabric and put sleeves in it for $0.80!!! I am very pleased with how it turned out.

Enjoy the Journey.

Cell Phone Picture Update

Sorry for the cell phone quality of the pictures, but at least I am documenting our lives somehow. :)

Total: $2.64

Sometimes when you have to eat dinner it can just be so tiring you fall asleep in your high chair.

When she knows I am sending a picture to Granma she gets excited and sometimes waves. 

 Chillin' in the stroller at the mall, yes she pulled her own sock off to play with.

Might as well be comfy.

While dad works on Ebay stuff we play in the same room to keep him busy.

I made a bajillion bows and like 40 headbands and mailed a package to Miss Emmaline and unknown gender baby Banks. The ones above are ones Lisa sent me a tutorial for asking me to make. They turned out sooo cute!

She prefers to eat her books, not read them.

Asleep in the chair with dad.

Puffs are good for lots of things....

But sometimes you have to hide them in your shirt because you think mom and dad might steal them away.

So Wal*Mart now has "MEGA stuffed Oreos"= double stuffed x2= HEAVEN!

Mom is generally the junge gym.

I hate shots day. :(

This is how I get ready in the mornings...

But someone learned how to be mischievous lately...

She cried when we first put her in the bath, she LOVES showers so this is probably one of maybe 10 baths she has had in her life... She wasn't so sure about it.

But eventually she warmed up to it.  :)

Enjoy the Journey.

Rite Aid

Last year my friend Julie taught me how to coupon at Rite Aid. When you buy certain things each week you get money back in Up Rewards. This year is their 50th anniversary so they were giving extra  Up Rewards for the month. Since I was getting such awesome deals I thought I would document them.

This isn't even everything!!! 

Here is what I got these past few weeks:

*CG Eyeliner

*CG Eyeshadow

*CG Bronzer

*CG Blush

*4 Permanent markers

*4 pkgs pads

*2 KY Yours+Mine

*3-12 pks of Root beer

*4 ct GE CFL Lightbulb

*Thermacare back wrap- 1 ct

*2 Lysol 35 ct Wipes

If you take what I paid out of pocket and subtract the Up+ Rewards I have left to spend then I technically only paid... (drumroll......) $14!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love couponing.... just saying....

 This is my Wal*Mart trip from the other day-not as good as Rite Aid, but still some good deals! My favorite deal was the Scrabble Slam games, they cost me a total of $0.54. The only thing I paid full price for in this picture is the puffs and yogurt discs. I saved $30.75 on this trip! That's 50%! (37 items for $30-that's less than $1 an item!)

Enjoy the Journey.
