Cassie's almost 6 months and I feel like we're finally starting to get into a routine that won't change in a couple of weeks. She has started waking up around 7am, which is perfect because it gives me time to feed her and get her ready for the day before David wakes up. It's so much better dealing with one kid at a time. Besides, I like having the one-on-one time with them. By the time David wakes up, Cassie's just about ready to go back to bed. I find myself having a difficult time going back to...

So I bought a set of coupons for the Bertolli Pouches that are such a great deal (FREE), but only because I thought the store sale was continuing this week. I was bummin, but then I realized there might be a store that is out of them. It's so funny how my thinking has shifted since I started using coupons! I actually want them to be out, 'cause then I will be able to get a rain check for the 2/$4 price. The catch is that they then have to have more in by the 24th, which is the last day of the...

I am reminded today just how impatient I can get sometimes. The Safeway ad isn't up yet and I REALLY want to see it so I can plan for this week's coupons. I have some coming already, but I want to get as many as possible. Hopefully some of the coupons I already have will be able to be used up. I'm teaching a "meal planning" class at our Women's Retreat this year, but it looks like the focus might shift more to power couponing. I'm so excited to be able to help other women out by showing...

So once I looked at the battery and saw that it had made it 6 years, I didn't feel as bad about having to get a new one. DH picked one up at Wal-Mart for $65, so not bad.

Easter was great yesterday. Church was awesome and time with family went suprisingly well (there were 25 people at my niece's house!) It's so nice that David's gotten to the age where he can be entertained by the cousins that are a little older than him and we don't have to be with him at all times for him to feel...

So as far as the world of coupons goes, I had a sucessful day. I was able to find plenty of the Pledge Multi-surface cleaners and I got all 10 of my colgate toothpastes for a grand total of 40cents. I also picked up a couple more 5lb bags of sugar, 'cause they're still on sale and I have coupons to use making them just a little over a dollar. Things weren't too hectic through the checkout, which is always nice when I am at a store that I'm not familiar with. That's the sucess . . .
