I Love Couponing...

Don't worry, I am NOT an EXTREME couponer. :P But between stores weekly deals and  the coupons I have, I will be feeding my 4 person family including 2 always hungry boys for $99 next week!!! I LOVE DEALS AND COUPONS!!! :)

Post #2 While We Were Gone Yesterday

My pretty little princess in gamma and gampas car :)



My handsome little man showing his 6 little teeth :)

I KNOW there is a God, but there are times in my life where his existence is SO apparent! Take today. Rhychie's crib was breaking and making us feel unsafe that he was in there, so we bought an adorable Elmo (He LOVES Elmo) toddler bed. His first time sleeping in it was for his first nap, currently happening... :) He cried for maybe 1 whole minute, after what sounded like a roll off at the beginning :P But after that, just happy little cooing sounds and then beautiful silence. I just got down from checking on him and he is snuggled in bed with one of his favorite bears OUT! :)

See You Tomorrow Denver!

Bo and I are going to the Denver Temple together tomorrow for the first time in over a year! We are so excited! We always do a session, then go to Deseret Book, then go out to a fancy dinner :) Temple trips are the only times when we get to be ALONE together OUTSIDE of the house :) Thanks gamma and gampa for watching the kiddos for us!

You Know, Just Saving Money :)

Pinterest was my "Bible" today! I made homemade laundry detergent, color-safe bleach, and fabric softener! We are going from $120/year on these supplies to $40/year!

Then I made homemade diaper rash cream and baby wipes! It has been so much fun today and I LOVE saving money! If you are interested, let me know and I can give you the recipes!

Hot Dog Boats!

I made these for our meal after church! 

- 1 pkg hot dogs $1

- 2 instant potato pkgs $2

- 1 bag shredded cheese $3

Such a cheap, FAST (From prep to eating: 15 min), and delicious meal!

Is That Spring I Feel?

Oh my goodness! There was rain falling this morning! Maybe we will actually have a Spring this year! :) I am so excited!

I Am One Proud Mama!

We had our evening family prayer. Laneah ran off pretty quickly. We went to check on her and found her bent over on her bed with her hands folded and her eyes closed. She told us she was praying! We were not going to start personal prayers with her til later, but apparently my little angel is ready :) I love little things like this that let you know you are doing just fine as a parent :)

Such a Wonderful Sunday!

Today was just wonderful! From the fact my daughter goes potty at church, to kind people who share their kids goodies with my ALWAYS hungry son, to the lovely Relief Society lesson and the sweet people in there :) Today has just been wonderful :)

I wanted to share a spiritual thought from a great talk in this month's Ensign called: "Living a Life of Peace, Joy, and Purpose," by Elder Richard G Scott.

"We need mothers and fathers who will preserve the sanctity and safety of the home and the integrity of the family in which faith in God and obedience to His commandments are taught as the foundation of a productive life."

Amazing talk! Highly recommend it!

Happy Sabbath Day everyone! :)

PINTEREST!!!

I cannot get ENOUGH of this website! Just this afternoon I printed off and am going to frame "I Am a Child of God" picture for both my kiddos and a "10 Commandments" picture! 

Oh and the crafts! They are just WAY too stinking CUTE!

Just Had To Share This Funny :)

Happy Monday!

What a great start out to the week! Monday is my favorite day anyway, but I was able to get everything done that I had set out to do :) Including us setting up Laneah's new TWIN mattress! I never realized how long a twin mattress was until we went to it from a baby/toddler mattress! It takes up 1/3 of her room! She loves it to pieces though :) She is getting so big...
