What we've been up to...

I feel like I can't seem to catch a breath lately to blog. I just thought things would slow down after the holidays, but we always seem to add new things to our plate to keep us busy. For those who don't know, my New Year's Resolution is to save money- seriously save money. Mainly by slashing our grocery bill. I've always clipped coupons, but not until recently did I discover the true value of a coupon! But saving money takes time. I guess as I do it more I will get faster at it. I love it- it is so exciting to challenge myself each week. I'll try to blog later about my progress. I'm keeping track this year of my spending and saving so I can see my final numbers at the end of the year. Hope everyone else has had a great year so far and are keeping all of your resolutions!


Last week we went to the Mcwane Center to see Curious George. They look extremely thrilled, but they really were excited. Bennett kept throwing his hands in the air and saying "yaaa George!".

Bennett's favorite place-the water table. This is my least favorite place in the Mcwane Center, because Bennett thinks he can drink the water and try to climb in it. This causes such drama!

Over the weekend, we went to Gordo to visit Pop and Gran Gran. Saturday, Bennett and Reagan stayed with Pop and Gran Gran while Eric, Brady, and I went with Uncle Tom, Aunt Bek, and some new friends Maria and Tomas to see the Broadway musical 101 Dalmations. Just let me mention that I got these tickets for FREE, well I had to pay $3 for a processing fee, but come on!! I am so into this saving money thing! The musical was really good, and Brady had a great time. I was so proud of him for sitting through the whole thing.

  1. I'm into the coupon thing too and once you start, you really feel foolish for wasting all that money in the past! It does take time to plan but totally worth it. I'm sure you probably already know about couponmom.com...
    it has a lots of online coupons and strategies for using them. It's fun to see how much we save every week!
