Shopping with Family

2012-02-04T17:40:00.000-08:00

It is beyond compare to have your family shop with you but it depends on what you are shopping for. This week, I laid out and sorted out the coupons that I will need for grocery shopping. So I decided to go to the store right after getting off from work. But my husband and son decided to go shopping because he wants to see what's the sale for this week. I thought this is FUN! When we got there he picked up some things that was mark on sale but I don't have the coupon to match it. But he refused to return it back because he thought that was a good buy. I adamantly insisted to go back home to get the coupon book to even save more. But he expostulated that it's just a waste of time and that he'll give me the amount to top on it. I said "arrrrgh...."

On the other hand Kyle was all over the place collecting coupons. He enjoyed it especially when the machine releases the coupon and he tried to mend my aggravations... However our trip was successful well partially successful because we ended up paying $29 which I aimed for $20 or less. We only saved a total of $46 of groceries. But to my husband it was a pretty good deal I think he enjoys shopping with coupons with me of course. We ended up getting several free stuff : free eggs, 2L Dr. Pepper, whole 12 pk of Diet Dr. Pepper, and more. I heart Publix.

Couponers Watch Out!

2011-07-10T13:40:00.000-07:00

Today I read from Birmingham News that there are a lot or fake coupons popping up more often these days. Fake coupons hurt the coupners and stores. It's stealing because the stores do not get reimbursed by the manufacturer for accepting the coupons.

These type of coupons are usually emailed PDF files. Not all PDF coupons are fake, but you need to verify the source before you print and redeem at your local store.

Check counterfeit notifications tab at www.couponinformationcenter.com. This is an excellent resource to help you navigate Internet coupon fraud.

*Sometimes PDF coupons can be altered and duplicated with ease by people who know their way their way around Adobe. Inspect barcodes, expiration dates, company logos, etc.

*A coupon for free item with no expiration date is ridiculous. I've never seen a legitimate Internet coupon without an expiration date.

Protect yourself and the store by doing some homework on the coupons that sound good to be true.

Weekend Mania!

2011-06-05T19:41:00.000-07:00

I am always looking forward for weekend because it's a long time to spend with my family especially with Kyle. He always have something plan for himself to do, well of course with parents involvement. He gets up early not as early as 5 am but around 6:30 ish am and he'd wake me up gently and said "Mommy, I am hungry..." He'd make sure that I can hear it clearly without waking up his Daddy. Well I would reply to him just go fix you some cereal. He would tell me in a gentle voice "But Mommy I want a hot breakfast! It's Saturday!" He insisted. Okay, just give me 20 more minutes then I'll get up, I replied. Then he insisted what about 10 minutes, it will be close to 7 am, he blurted out. Okay, okay.... I said! So I would get up and fix our breakfast. This is his Saturday routine every morning so my body is pretty much accustomed of getting up early with or without work.
Well next to his itenerary is the libarary North Shelby Library is having their "Summer Reading" kick off party. They have inflatables, refeshments, games, face painting and more. So he was really excited to be there. His favorite part was filling up the registration form for his summer reading and face painting. They had variety of choices to pick and he picked a tiger to be painted on his face.

They offered bunch of activities for all ages this summer come check the link above for more details.
The only thing I didn't like was he wants to jumo on the inflatables which was outside and it was hot! I let him play for few minutes and he got hot. We went straight to Galleria to call off and use his Chikc Fil-A coupon for lunch that had given to him during his registration! Another way of saving money! hehehe

Ooops I did it again

2010-06-11T22:22:00.000-07:00

Oh no I totally ignored my plan today and went to "what not to eat" why, because it's our annirvery and I can't spoil out dinner date trying to count calorie every meal. So tomorrow I made sure I'll so some sweating pay back.We went to Outback Steakhouse and ordered appetizer (blooming onions)because it was loaded It was so good. This is what happen of not stickin strickly on your plan you have to pay for it.

Quick Weight Loss

2010-06-10T19:00:00.000-07:00

I am determine to shed some pounds off because I am tired of having a “yoyo diet” . This is how I used to do - I will lose it and gain it back! I am certainly aware of what to and not to eat and yet I prefer the what not to eat. I love sweets especially - chocolate. I don’t like rice much but I can consumed packs of candy. Despite of these bad consuming I burn them through exercising and yet I can’t tell the different it’s probably because I consumed more calories than burning them. I can exercise 45 to more than an hour exercise every weekend and 30 min exercise a day. I hardly drink soda because I don’t like it and I can drink 8 glasses of water everyday. Oh well now, I know I just got over control with sweets and carbs in take so I got to do something I better do it now than regrets later. So I decided to write down what I ate and the calories. I learned this calorie counter through King Calorie Counter, this site really works well if your are calorie conscious. It’s just about portioning and control. Just like today at work my co-worker gave me a crème filled doughnut but I only ate two pinches of it and have my son finish it since he never had a crème filled doughnut. I tried to cut my white carbohydrates in take since this is one of my obsessions. This is one thing I need to work on but over all in a day I consumed 1400 calories and made sure I ate 2 to 3 kinds of fruits and have a sensible meal once a day normally at night when I get home from work nor school. However I am open to any means just like trying replacing 2 meals with Slim Fast shake for 190 calories and it really fills me up. But I do snack in between with fruits or nutty bar which has 100 calories. So far I lost three pounds for this week. I just need to keep reminding to myself to do portion and have a control and better do it now not later. I don’t depend of drinking shake but by teaching my appetite just right. Do you have any suggestions feel free to leave me a message.

Slim Down

2009-05-09T22:19:00.001-07:00

Are you tired of dieting? Well I am but I never really had a serious diet not at all. I had tried Slim Fast before because the advertisement was so enticing but unfortunately it didn't work out because it makes me starve more. It can't sustain for a thorough physical activities it makes me weak and my energy level went down and the result I replenished those energy with foods especially sweet treats. I personally is an avid fan of sweets and carbs. I can gobble a king size of candy in an instant on the way back home from work. The only thing I admire to myself is I don't like soda but I love water, water and water. So I decided to stop from drinking Slim Fast.So I switched by just eating salad twice a day with a spoonful of salad dressing or sometimes none because I don't like dressing at all. But guess what? It's becoming so plain and boring. So I went back to my normal routine which is eating regular meals. But biggest problem is I will have a bad addiction of sweets especially when I'm at work. I can consumed a bag of Hershey Kisses alone in a short period of time but when I am at home I am fine. Glenn my husband always wondering why I complain too much about myself? Because according to him I am just RIGHT! I told him that he is such I liar but SUPER nice husband. Anyway it's just a girl thing to be a diet freak.All of the above approach didn't work on me right so I decided to better stick in monitoring portion size and I jot down all the food that I ate including the calories in order for me to track down the my daily targeted calories and so far it works in one week but later on I quit writing -my laziness just click oh well, why is that, that sustainability only lasted a week? I think it's only self-determination and I don't have it but despite of it I manage to exercise and watch I ate. If I have sweet clash I make sure I burn calories through exercising. It's a tiring routine but it makes me feel better if I do exercise and knowing I burn some calories. I added fruits and leafy vegetables on my meals to give me some fiber and above all I watch my portion size.It feels good not to over eat and you do exercise it relaxes you. What about you have you taking steps to slim down? If so please share it too. That's about it!

Enrollment for K

2009-05-02T22:16:00.000-07:00

This is my most awaited moment to get ready to send Kyle to BIG school. It has been a talk for while for Kyle's biggest transition -to be in another school. He's been in pre-school since he was a toddler and previliged enough to have some great friends at this school but when we started talking about him going to big school he didn't like it at all. He just wanted to stayat Brookwood (present school). Brookwood offered Kindergarten but I opted to send him to a public school.
So one day we drove by to his school to be just to get a feel of it, when he saw it he became excited. He instantly claim it as his BIG school. Playground was fascinated him the most. We didn't have time to take a peek of what's inside since it was no school day when we came by. This school was actually recently built and it has pretty facade too. So today is the first day of enrollment for Kindergarten class. So I decided to came by to school today about 7:40 am hoping to pick up the enrollment packet although they provided online access for registration forms that you can just fill it out but unfortunately my printer is out of ink. But unfortunately they told me to come back at 12 which the enrollment schedule begins. So I went and took Kyle with me and I have to fill out 18 pages of paper pertaining to Kyle's enrollment it was a lot!. While doing so one of the Kindergarten teachers asked me if she can borrow Kyle for a minute for some talk. It's probably about 10 steps away from me I can hear Kyle answering her teacher. Then I've found out that they are having interview for the coming Kindergartners-COOL! Few minutes later Kyle was brought back by the teacher and she told me that Kyle did great!!! Kyle told me that he did a lot of answering in fact the teacher asked him to count and so he did but asked to stop because he's fixing to count up to a hundred hehehe. I am so proud of Kyle!!! Their open house will be on August and we can't wait to find out his new BIG school adventure...
