2012-01-28T22:15:00.001-05:00

My Saturday nights have evolved into the night that I begin planning my shopping trips for the following week. To put together my shopping list I use various sites, one of wich is livingrichwithcoupons. These are some of my favorite deals that they posted for the coming week. Golden Ripe Bananas - $0.49 Barilla Pasta - $0.88 $1/2 Barilla Pasta printable $0.55/1 Barilla Whole Grain Pasta,

2012-01-28T20:58:00.004-05:00

I am not really what I would consider an "Extreme Couponer" but I am relatively good and generally save at least 75% to 100%. Even relatively savy couponers have a bad day sometimes. I went to Walmart for two items (a) Schick disposable razors, priced at $1.97 with $2.00 off coupons and (b) Bic pens, priced at $0.97 with $1.00 off coupons. I planned to buy 10 of each and my whole trip would

Valentines Crafts: Heart Stamps

2012-01-27T23:06:00.000-05:00

I have been searching for ideas for Valentines crafts to do with my little guys. The 6 year old is easier, but I was having trouble coming up with ideas for the 2 year old. I came across a great (and super affordable) idea on rustsunshine. All you need is: An empty toilet paper roll A little Paint Blank cards/cardstock or construction paper Flatten out the toilet paper roll and then form

What you'll need: foaming shaving cream food coloring container - Try a muffin tin paint brushes *Added benefit for the couponing parents out there...you probably have a stockpile of free or almost free shaving cream, so that makes the cost almost

I NEED a Blue VTech Innotab

2012-01-01T23:05:00.003-05:00

I have literally spent most of this week looking for a Blue VTech Innotab. My husbands Uncle got my 6 year old one for Christmas but mistakenly bought the purple one. My son was very gracious and said that he would keep the purple one, but I know that he would eventually be upset that he didn't have the blue one so we have been searching online and calling stores all week to try to track one down

I have to tell you we have been VERY lucky to get a local gas station owner to save his weekly coupon inserts from the un-sold papers. This does mean that some weeks we get a couple of inserts and other weeks we get 30 or more....and I have to say that this looks like a good week. I have a big box of newspapers sitting in front of me right now and I will be going through it shortly to see what

Another Year Older

2011-11-30T23:35:00.001-05:00

Today began just like any other day...I woke up late (though it was to my favorite 6 year old jumping on my saying "today is momma's birthday"), got up and got on the train and went to work. Went through my normal day, until 1/2 hour before I was supposed to leave when my boss decided he wanted to meet with me. New position/ new boss, so I didn't tell him that I was planning on leaving early and

I am back....

2011-11-29T18:28:00.001-05:00

I am back.... I know that it has been forever since my last post - I hope that didnt give up on me while I was gone. I have been super busy with work. I got a promotion a couple of months ago, and of course my boys are keeping busy, my precious baby has officially turned into a terrible 2 year old...I had forgotten how much fun 2 year olds can be :) Add to all that my new coupon hobby. I

Fun and Tasty Easter Project:

2011-04-19T21:27:00.000-04:00

I will admit that I have not tried this yet, it is on the agenda for Friday night but it sounds like it will be really easy and fun for the kids. Who doesn't LOVE rice krispie treats? We end up adapting recipes/ideas each holiday and many times that includes rice krispie treats because they are easy to mold into just about anything and the kids LOVE them. So Easter will be no different, we will

The Park Inn Hotel (near Hershey PA)

2011-04-19T21:24:00.000-04:00

We decided on a last minute trip to Hershey, PA this weekend with out little guys. When we are planning last minute getaways we always check out Roomsaver first. Do you use Roomsaver for your last minute getaway's? If not, you should check them out. We basically use them as our fist resource for any weekend/long weekend trips. So we checked out Roomsaver for Hotel deals and found a room at the

My Cupcake Adventure - Week 8

2011-04-19T21:21:00.002-04:00

This weeked we re-visited the bakery that inspired this cupcake adventure a few weeks. The bakery is the Sweet Shop in the Hotel Hershey, in Hershey, PA. We got a great deal on a room about 20 minutes from Hershey (through Roomsaver - if you don't use Roomsaver, especially for your last minute getaways you should check it out) so we decided to head down there for the weekend. We couldn't make the

My Cupcake Adventure - Week 7

2011-04-11T20:52:00.000-04:00

Early last week you may have seen my tweet that my 5 year old wanted to make "square cupcakes stuffed with frosting". I generally don't think of cupcakes as being square so this got me thinking about everything from what pan I would bake them in to what size squares to how we would fill them. In thinking about how we could make these square cupcakes stuffed with frosting the though of our

Ultimate Blog Party 2011

2011-04-09T10:46:00.001-04:00

Well, I am showing up a little bit late for the party, but I will just have to make the most of the next couple of days. Let me start by telling you a little bit about me. I began blogging just over 1 year ago (the end of March 2010) and the UBP was actually my first blog event that I participated in. I loved that so quickly after starting my blog I was able to participate in this event

My Cupcake Adventure - Week 6

2011-04-07T21:19:00.000-04:00

We took a week off from baking and visited a local bakery (Sugar Bakery and Sweet Shop) that specializes in cupcakes. They actually competed in and won Cupcake Wars. We have been wanting to go there for a while, but they aren't open on Sunday's and it seems our Saturdays have just been too busy to stop in there. Well I have to say that after just one visit I have a slight obsession with their

The first time I made the was a little less than a year ago. I made the pineapple cupcakes to go with the sponge bob cake that my husband made for the 5 year olds birthday party (sponge bob live in a pineapple - get

My Boys are at it again

2011-03-29T07:59:00.000-04:00

Well mostly the little guy (16 months)...he has major issues with not getting his way. This weekend my husband was reading an Elmo book to the little guy and the 5 year old came over to listen. He didn't even go near the book he was just standing off to the side listening. The little guy turned around and grabbed the 5 year old and pushed him to the ground. Yes, my 16 month old is beating up his
