Are you pinching YOUR pennies??????

My fantastic neighbor introduced me to a website called pinchingyourpennies.com. I have been pinching my pennies for a couple of months now, and I can not believe the difference I have seen in my grocery bill!! My food storage is fuller now than it has ever been before (And let's be honest, that's not hard to do!). I always have had good intentions for building our food storage, but I have had a hard time knowing what to buy and when to buy it. This website tells you what the best deals are in the grocery stores each week.
Yesterday I went to Albertsons, and with all of my rewards and coupons, I got $304.59 worth of food for, drum roll please, $47.12!!!!! What?!?! It was crazy fun!! I know, I'm a dork, I get excited over these kinds of things!!
When I brought all of my groceries into the house, they filled my whole kitchen table, and half of my bar!! I was going to take a picture, but then Jensen started climbing all over the table trying to get the fruit snacks!!

On a Valentines Day, on a Valentines Daaaay

Our Valentines Day was very low key this year. Dan and I are planning a trip sometime this spring, so we decided to save the money on Valentines gifts.
We had my family over on Friday for our Friday Night Fun Night. It was so much fun!! We had dinner and played games with the kids. I love the fact that we can have so much fun together.
On Saturday morning I had a bunch of errands that I had to get done. I had to take the kids with me, and by the end of the trip I told them that I would take them to McDonalds if they would hold on for a few more minutes!! While they were playing in "The Playland" this nice lady asked me if my baby was a boy or a girl. What?!? He doesn't look like a girl AT ALL!! Although he did have on his red Valentines Day shirt that has a heart with flames around it and in the middle it says "Hunk of Burnin' Love!" So maybe that confused her...

Don't you love it when....

Your baby falls asleep in the car on the way home, sleeps for like five seconds, and as you are oh so carefully taking them upstairs and placing them in their cozy bed, their eyes pop open and they start talking to you? It makes for a fun afternoon! (HELP!!!!!)
