{Couponing}

So I have been slowly getting into couponing over the past few months! I have really been trying to cut down on our grocery bills and diapers. My interest was peaked when I saw a few friends getting diapers for really cheap on Amazon. I started to do some research and learned how....Then my interest peaked even more, if can get diapers for super cheap what else can I get for cheap. I attended a class back in February on couponing and started following a few blogs:
Here a few of my favorites -

Great Stores -

Walgreens especially since Caterpillar employees get 15% off most items and 20% off Walgreens brand items.

Meijers - They double coupons up to .50

Schnucks - The double coupns and make .51-.99 = $1...can get some great deals if you watch their ads.

Target - Great deals if paired with the Target store coupons and Manufactures coupons!

Last week was one of my best weeks....I got 20 bottles of Right Guard Body Wash for 4.85 which was only the tax. I had traded some coupons on a website for our formula coupons which we don't need. I am donating all of these items to the AL tornado victims....I almost forgot I got 12 Crest toothbrushes at Walgreen for $.21 a piece which I will also donate. Great Deals...I will try and post my weekly deals.

{29 Weeks}

So, I haven't been good with updating....But we are having a GIRL!

Pregnancy Highlights:

Size of baby: Baby S is the size of an squash....weighing about 2.5 lbs.
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained 9 lbs. We did a 3D sonogram last week and I will post pictures....but her heartbeat was still strong in the 150s.
Maternity Clothes: Maternity clothes......Getting pretty sick of the clothes I have, but I am not buying anymore.
Gender: GIRL
Movement: Lots! She moves all the time....Especially when I lay down to go to sleep at night!
Sleep: I'm sleeping pretty well!
What I miss: Being able to bend over easily
Cravings: Nothing really this week.

Symptoms: Heartburn

Best Moment this week: Mother's Day was great! Jack was so sweet all day. He painted me a box at the daycare and glue jewels to it...I will post a picture...He was so proud of it. More and more words this week as well....His new favorite thing besides toooools is mowing. He loves to watch anyone mow the grass. He also learned to make a scary face which I need to get a picture of. Super funny and David and I laugh everytime he does it.


PS - David and Leo made a lot of progress this weekend planting...Praying for good weather (SUN) so the little seeds will start to grow!
