One Of My Most Favorite Quotes

“Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity.”

Another Plug About Couponing!

If you have an interest in saving money and have the determination to do it, couponing is AMAZING! Right now, our Albertsons has a great deal going on! They dropped some of their General Mills cereals down from $5 (A price I would NEVER pay) to $2.49. THEN, we have a deal in their circular: Buy 4 participating General Mills cereals, they become $1.98 each AND you get a Shoppers Value Milk for 75 cents! I also had a coupon for $1.50 off on any 3 General Mills cereals. So, I will do the math for you :) I got 4 boxes of cereal and 2 gallons of milk for UNDER $11! And then, the register printed off a new coupon for cereals for me! :) I LOVE COUPONING!

How We Family Scripture Study

I used to visit teach a sweet lady who gave us an idea that we turned into this:

Sunday: Modern Revelation
Monday: Scriptures
Tuesday: Scriptures
Wednesday:Modern Revelation
Thursday: Scriptures
Friday: Scriptures
Saturday: Modern Revelation

We are currently in The Book of Mormon for our "scripture" scripture study. And for modern revelation we use anything from Ensign articles (Right now we are reading "Special Witnesses Testify of Jesus Christ" April 2014) to the manual we are using in Relief Society and Priesthood. The reason for this is, we fit in past revelation but we are also fitting in modern that applies to us more. We started this, this year and are LOVING it!

I GOT IT FREE!!!

I had this Colgate coupon for $2 off on 2 products. The coupon did NOT specify size! (Couponers dream!) So I printed off 2 coupons (The amount the website allows) and picked up 4 TRIAL SIZE toothpastes (97 cent each) and got them all for completely FREE!!! I am just super giddy right now :)

The Latest (Of The Kiddos)

So my little boy is starting to fit into 18 mo clothes (Tear shed). One of his shirts, which he is wearing today says "Who are you calling short?" with a giraffe on it :) For those of you who don't know, my son is in the 5th percentile for height. So this shirt fits him perfectly :P

Laneah is now wearing 5T dresses. She is not chunky or anything, people just make kids dresses too short! We have also started buying clothes for her in the little girl isle not the baby/toddler isle (Another tear shed).

My kids just keep growing and growing...

Money Saving Tip For Groceries- Mac N Cheese

I buy the 5 pack Kraft mac and cheese (~$5). Then I will buy different, cheap things to put into it.
- good and plain (nothing added) $0
- hot dogs (we like oscar meyers classic) $2
- fresh tomatoes (1 BIG one) <$1
We are usually never in the mood to eat this much mac n cheese in a week, but even stretching it out between many weeks, you can get 5 meals for a family of 4 for under $10 :) (Change for your individual circumstances)

Such A BIG Girl :)

Today was Laneah's 2nd dentist appointment. Her first one didn't go so well (Of course, 1st time at a dentist, don't blame her!). But this time, she couldn't have behaved any better! She let them brush, floss, squirt water, suck out, and fluoride her pretty little teeth! (All with a smile!) And once again, she got to be a part of the no cavity club!

Her being a big girl was not the only reason why this visit went so well. Everyone there is amazing! When she first walks in they give her a goodie bag with a new toothbrush, floss, and toothpaste. Then they let her pick out her toothbrush top (She wanted the pink flamingo) and the toothpaste flavor (Cookie Dough) and the fluoride flavor (Watermelon). All throughout the cleaning they give her compliments and are just SO friendly! And because she didn't have any cavities, she got an extra goodie! Who knew a dentist visit could be so wonderful? :)
