Where did the day go?

Sometimes I just don't know where my day disappears to! Next week, I know where it will go and that I won't get anything done at home. Errr! Oh well. It is a MUST! I am down to the dustbunnies of my bank account and the money tree we planted in the back yard just won't sprout! LOL!


Here is a shot of my CVS loot from last week. I've been behind all week and not made it there this week. I've got about $25 ECB's from my second trip to spend (the loot is from both trips last week). The candy went to the boys for their class. I've used the razor and can't say that I'm impressed! It shaves the same as my cheapie $3 for 12 razors... was I expecting too much of a $10 razor?

So, I sorted and tried to get a handle on my coupons today in between dropping off / picking up T. I think I was trying to get brave enough to go into Indy to KMart. They don't take Internet printed coupons though I do have a fair amount. It would just take some time since I am unfamiliar with the store and what they carry. I found a blog that lines things up but should check it out further before I decide to go and spend 2+ hours.

Rambling... it is past midnight so I better get to bed! R has slept all night the past two nights!! Crossing fingers for many many more... especially next week when I head back to work!!!!!!

Smooches!

Attention KMart shoppers!!

I was sooo excited to go to Kmart yesterday and try to be all frugal and big coupon queen only to come home disappointed. Boo Hiss!! I saved about 50% on what I bought but am disappointed because not all of the coupons were doubled and in checking prices, some items rang up for way more than they were listed on the shelf sticker. I was in a hurry to get to my parents house to pick up Rhiannon (her first time without me!) that I didn't check it and the stupid store is 1/2 drive away. Errr!!

Anyway, this store did not have a grocery section, just a few non-perishables. I got mainly cleaning / household stuff. Not in the picture is a pack of Huggies. Wish I would have saved that $1 coupon now. LOL!

Just realized I have not posted my CVS deals from last week... my first try at CVSing! It was fun and even more fun, I ran into my friend, Tracy, there who was also getting her CVS on!! She shared some tips with me and she ROCKS!!

SOCKS!

Gosh, I don't mind doing laundry and even enjoy it at times, but the socks! Ugh, the socks! With 4 children, a hubby, and now that it is getting cold outside, I am donning them as well. I just don't enjoy sorting white socks. My mom tried to help me out a few months ago by buying little mesh laundry bags for each family member but I can't always get them all to USE them! It is so easy, just take off your dirty socks and put them in the bag. When it is time to do a white load, just zip up the bag and toss it in the washing machine and then toss it in the dryer and there ya go! Now to get them to USE them!!! UGH!

LOL! Just a little mom vent! It's allowed!

My site is going to undergo some new renovations. I've got someone helping me out with some graphics! Once we get things going, I will post her information and maybe she can squeeze you in too!! Keep on the watch and see the re-do soon!

It's a half day of school today for the kids due to Parent/Teacher Conferences. So glad I am missing that at work (still on maternity leave) as I am required to work all day and figure out what to do with the kids. Nanaw & Papaw are usually the lucky recipients of the now Fab 4. They'll have T & R every day when I go back. Less than a month now.

Ok, enough for now. Blog later!!!

Hi! Inconsistent blogger here! I thought I'd post a card made with my favorite stamp set... since I've not done a lot of papercrafting while on maternity leave, I've not developed a new favorite stamp set yet. Sooo, what I am trying to say is that this is not done recently but not posted yet. LOL!

All Products CTMH unless noted;

Stamps: Star Struck, Homestead Alphabet

Cardstock: White Daisy, Breeze and Black

Stamp Pads: Citrus Leaf, Bubblegum, Breeze, Watermelon, and Black

Other: Green wide grosgrain ribbon from Target

Anyway, this card was made for one of Allie's friends for her birthday. It matched the gift wrapping on the gift she gave to her friend, Avery. I'll have to see if I have any of that left and take a picture of it also. Random stamping & cardstock distressing is my main "go to" techniques!

Hand-me-downs!

I've always loved these solid colored Gerber sleepers. This sleeper is old... a hand-me-down from the oldest kiddo. I think all 4 children have worn it. I know the oldest wore it in the first few weeks. Funny, Rhiannon is 11 weeks old now and wearing it. Still a little long but comfy! I'm going to have to see if I can find a picture of each kid in it. My littlest SWEET PEA!!

I know there is a royal blue one and a hot pink one too. I remember Allie wearing the hot pink one and I just loved it. Gotta go search the bins for that one and soon!
