Give Away!

Hello friends! I hope we are all having a lovely Sunday Morning.. I have a red lab staring me down.. She wants out for the third time already! I guess I am not that interesting until I have a few cups of coffee in me!

I have some good news for my pocket book.. I counted the weeks and I counted all my formula... I officially have my last can of formula bought! Yes! And, with coupons, I estimate I saved between $7 and $10 per tub. That's at least $40 a month! Good deal!

So, to celebrate, I have over $40 in coupons for Enfamil Formula that I will give to the first person who emails me a paragraph/guest blog on how you have used coupons to help you stay within or below budget! Thanks guys! I  will close this giveaway when I receive the first one! Email is Rachar_Layman@mail.com

Enjoy your day!

New Day.. New Deals.. New Design..

Okay, so most everyone who knows me knows that I am a total idiot when it comes to computers.. I can type stuff in, make it look great with word, excel, even quick books and I have become friends at times. But, my computer is possessed. It deletes things it shouldn't, changes layouts, won't talk with my keyboard unless it wants to.. It isn't a virus, its been checked, scanned daily and shown to a professional (Go Montie Montgomery!). It has been certified with a clean bill of health. He even has said it wasn't me.. it was the computer, but he was probably trying to make me feel better seeing as the same man told me about 5 years ago that a computer is only as smart as its operator.. oops. Bet my computer could spit out a wealth of information on breast feeding, pumping, couponing, saving money, oh, and def. on all things horse research. It could probably even barrel race..

All that said.. HTML coding is not for me.. Seriously. It's like speaking a foreign language and seeing as we live in MI the closest foreign languages we have to need to learn is Yupper  and Canadian.. And they are pretty much the same thing, just a bit different dialects. So what I needed to spruce up my blog was help. I found(finally after much searching) a website that does free templates, well, many of them, but none of them fit me.. Until this one. I don't even know where I found it, but it is awesome. I think I searched for free cute blogger templates.. I may have begged my computer to cooperate (not really, anything involving the Internet I am actually quite good at, just not this..) So the one thing that I want to do is find a tool bar navigator thing.. Shabby blogs has an awesome one.. I want it.. but I can't find it, or the code.. Any computer geniuses out there want to help?

Oh and guess what Little Man found last night? His puppy act.. complete with drinking out of Gem's water dish.. Gross.. She's like, you idiot.. give me the sippy cup then.. Kids..

Just a thought...

I'm sitting here at PT in the Fluido waiting for the buzzer to go off. I'm heading to Walgreens and Rite Aid after, going to hit up some good as getting some free and really cheap items. Just wanted to post a thought for you... When you are all stocked up for a few months and have a few extra coupons what do you do? I have enough body wash and deodorant to last Jason around a year probably. The most it cost me was probably $1 a bottle. What should I do with all these awesome BOGO coupons that have come in the inserts lately? Make a donation Box! My new goal for myself is to follow through with my New Years Goal I made back in January.. To Give Back. I still can't afford to make large cash donations, but I an and will, start using my coupons tostart a donation box. Body Wash, Deoderant, maybe some fod staples, PAPER products, even formula that I can get cheaply, all this will go in the donation box. Once a month I will set a goal to get ahold of Donna Williams or Pastor Jack to drop off at Joseph's Store House at Beaver Lake Community Church to help out. Even if it is only $5 +" I can do it! Anyone else want to take the pledge to donate somewhere?

Good Saturday Morning!

Good Morning all! I am sitting here in my recliner with a cup of warm coffee contemplating the day. Tomorrow I Mother's Day. I just hope to be able to sleep in. The kids have been getting up at 6:30 the last few mornings and that's not even daycare days! I'm definitely needing the coffee!

Sorry I haven't posted much this week, it has been busy! My aunt and cousin's gf and their daughter came up north and we all met at my Aunt's cabin in Cheboygan. It was a fun, relaxing weekend during the week. Poor Little Miss got tortured by Little Man.. He was in love I think! Kept hugging her, laying on her, following are everywhere..She was obviously annoyed. He was either in love or just loved to annoy her. Yes, he is all male.

When we got back, I had a pile of work on my desk. The guys were cranking out the service while I was gone(for those of you that don't know, I run my dad's well drilling business). I was happy. Made a nice deposit. Worked alot, It was good. So the only think I got to do on here was to figure out how to add a second page, which is now our own Coupon Database. Deal Seeking mom keeps it up! Yeah!

Also this week I sold my travel system to a friend. It was sad!  Which I was surprised by. I am not an emotional person, I don't really get attached to things. As a child, I didn't have a lovey, blankie, or teddy. Even now, I don't like stuff cluttering even though it seems I can't get away from it.  So when I decided, with Jason that I was going to get the Implanon (BC that goes in your arm lasts for 3 years), I knew I would have to get rid of some stuff.. The travel System expires in 2015, so in 3 years it will be 2014 and even if we got preggers right away, we just would be cutting it close. So it was sold. The point of this is you don't realize what you get attached to when you have kids. Maybe it was one of their favorite toys, a blankie, a favorite shirt. For me, I was heart sick that the carseat that had faithfully carried my newborns home from the hospital, the stroller that had taken many trips, and the bases that held my children safe and tight were gone.  It will keep a new baby safe, but I was still going to miss it. I don't know. Issues..

So, I think we all need to realize this mother's day what is truly important, what or love for our children are.Happy Mother's Day My friends.. Now my cup is empty and the baby is crying!
