So there are some coupons, really good coupons I’m looking for. If any spots them in the stores and grabs me some (or even the whole tearpad 
) I’ll be happy to pay S&H and a little something extra. So if you’re in the grocery store and see them (maybe near the Wheat Thin I’ve heard) think of me! I’ll owe you big time! Here’s a little sample of what these look like. They say FREE *insert product* with purchase of 3 kraft, nabisco, etc. 
Grab, grab, grab!
Since I’ve gotten pregnant, I’m so thankful that I got insurance quite a few months ago. That would have been a horrible thing to worry about while in this state of being. For the year or so I didn’t have insurance, I was terribly stressed that I would always worry that I would get sick, in an accident or something horrible. If I hadn’t already I would have looked at Medicare Part D because the Medicare Part D deductible aren’t that bad at all. Check out the Medicare D Enrollment if you are interested in medicare.
Yessss I’m pregnant! Some of you guys guessed correct…well that was the only guess How did everyone know I wanted to be a mommy so much? I’m about 9 weeks right now and couldn’t be any happier. I wanted to wait to announce this until my first doctor’s appointment, which I had last Monday. It was one of the most unusual appointments because it wasn’t just for me…it was for the little cupcake in the oven. And well we girls know how the doctor loves poking and checking out those girly areas that not everyone likes flashing around… Okey well there we go, the beans are spilled
you guys are still waiting to hear my exciting news huh? Oh well I have to go do laundry & sweat my butt off in this Texas heat. Then I’ll come home and blog about it tonight, expect an update before 9PM Central time And you silly, silly people all guessed prego? I couldn’t have won the lotto? Or have a book deal in the works? Just something to think about 
Sooo okey my big announcement is on hold right now….I should have the post together by tonight. I just have to go to my in-laws to sing happy birthday to my nephew who turned one today! He’s the most adorable kiddo, I sadly don’t have any current pictures of him but I’ll post an oldie but still favorite shot of him. Mmm I hope they have cake….then I can have a big glass of milk with it. I’ve been drinking tons of milks lately…ya know with a few dozen cookies or so. Okey I have to go to the in-laws…maybe a nice juicy post later Anyone have luminox watches??
Sorry about not posting for awhile, life has been a bit crazy. Last weekend was my birthday & I spent it tracking through a beautiful cave and picking blueberries. Fun stuff! And this weekend my dad will be moving in with us. Life is nuts right now but it’ll be alright, it always is. So for now enjoy this pictures of the cave we visited last weekend, my camera died very quickly (nice going Pamela!) but I still got a couple of decent images.
Oh and we bought another car so me & JP both have our own car (mine being the nicer one ). Our insurance is a very nice chunk of change because J.P. needs all this extra coverage for work and it has to be applied to both cars and not just one of them. Does anyone have a van or mini-van? Does Van Insurance cost more, for some reason I would think they are safe so insurance would cost less?? I’m thinking it would be cool to have a van once I have a butt load of kids (kidding!!).
It’s funny, every year around this time I look back at how life was just a year ago. And it’s funny how both so much and so little can change in a year. And for me personally life just seems to get better and better each year. That’s what I strive for. I want to look back this time next year and go “Well that is nice, but now is even better”. You always wonder how your life could get better or worse, it does so in the most simply ways. Getting a new job, starting a new relationship, quitting a hobby, taking up a hobby it all can be for the worse or better. But I think a lot of it is your outlook on life, I try to take everything with a smile and think of ways it is for the best…no matter how horrible it may seem at the moment. Relationships end so you can find someone better to fill that void in your life. Doors are opened when you decide one day to quit that ratty job that you hated before you even started. Everything happens for a reason, no matter if you think that or not. If you choose to wallow on the bad, then how can anything good ever come to you? You wouldn’t even notice if something good slapped you in the face.
This year I am making more money then ever & my relationship with J.P. is even stronger then it was last year. I have many more things going on but those are the things people stress about…or maybe it’s just me? 
But I’ve been working on my stress, I rather die from eatting too many cupcakes then stressing about bills when there is more then enough money. I’m so happy that with my new job I’ll be able to completely pay off my Visa…and quick!
Everyone have a wonderful day & try to see the best in that thing going wrong in your life right now.
I have people asking where do I get my coupons, how I save so much money, etc. Well I decided I’d put a post together of all my resources to help those who want to do the same as me & save!
Where do you get your coupons?
Mainly I get them from the Sunday paper that usually has 2-3 coupon inserts a week. I also email companies I buy often to gush over their products, many have sent coupons..even FREEBIES!
How do you know when to use your coupons?
You look for sales & match it with coupons to get maximum savings. I use a variety of coupon/savings websites that guide me in my coupon savings since I don’t have time to look through every flyer, check out prices at every store, etc.
What sites do you use to find deals?
- Grocery Game: My #1 source for grocery & pharmacies! It comes out each week & is super easy to work!! If you sign-up please let me know & I’ll give you my e-mail to use as a referel
- More Then Enough: They have wonderful deals for Target & Wal-mart
- Freebies4Mom: Great site that loves featuring freebies!
- MoneySavingMom: More great deals!
So I don’t know if you know this but I’m in love with coupons. Totally, completely in love. Okey let me prove why…first I have to dig through my purse for some receipts. We’ll go through my receipts for this week Oh wow..okey i had a TON of receipts in my bag. Okey you know what? I think black and white proof will prove how much I love coupons. I am spending the same amount of money each week (usually around $100 for groceries) but now that includes a lot more food, cleaning products and bathroom items. I have SOO much soap I got for free and a bunch of toothpaste that was free. Actually I have a lot of freebies! How fun! I mean who doesn’t like free? Oh and green is how much I saved, yellow is how much I paid.
Ugh the other day I was doing laundry at the laundry mat…SUCKS. Over 95*F outside and I don’t think they had any A/C on…I was just about to pass out! I wish our place had the hook-ups for a washing machine. That’s almost the only thing I miss about our old place, that and central A/C but it looks like with the window units are bills have been lower actually. So that’s a good thing, I don’t think it’s went over $100 yet!
