Craft Shows
on Nov 10, 2009I set up at the Fairfield High School Craft Show last weekend. I want to detail some of my experiences to give you an idea of what to expect if you decide you want to do craft shows too. After researching the show online to find out who to contact,...

Baby's First Picture
on Oct 31, 2009Ok everyone, here s/he is! 13 weeks confirmed, and only one baby in there, so happy day! We'll be getting another ultra sound at 20 weeks. Since Dawson was 5 weeks early, this doctor seems to be wanting to do several ultra sounds to make sure everyth...

Small Business Info
on Oct 31, 2009Ok, I haven't done a small business post in a loooong time. And I think we'll go with a topic near and dear to my heart. Rent. The last company I worked for (which will remain nameless as they are a list of dirty words that I don't use in this blog!)...

Big Coupon Day this Sunday
on Oct 31, 2009There will be 3 inserts in this Sunday's paper. Lots of good ones too. One of note is that there a .55 cent off coupon on Hormel Pepperoni. At Meijer, the coupon doubles to $1, and they often have the large slices (found in the refrigerated section o...

Check out this video
on Oct 29, 2009I found a link to this on Hip 2 Save. But this is a neat little video that aired on Good Morning America about how one woman is able to buy groceries for her family of 6 for less than $4 a week. I'm not that organized. But using The Grocery Game d...

What Have I Been Up To?
on Oct 29, 2009Not much. LOL. I've mostly been trying to cope with morning sickness and exhaustion still. Knock on wood, it seems to getting better. I'm super excited about my first ultra sound tomorrow. I should be 13 weeks along. I'm somehow convinced that...

Dining out with baby
on Oct 26, 2009I came upon this money saver by accident. I've been patting myself on the back ever since because it was PERFECT for my family. We went out to eat on Friday, and had a wonderful time. There was a yummy looking appetizer I wanted to try. It was ar...

Extra Extra
on Oct 24, 2009After stockpiling for almost a year, there are some items in my stockpile that I know I'll never use. All are things I got for next to nothing. Like Head and Shoulders shampoo. Great product, but I prefer the girly and fruity smelling shampoos, an...

Sharpen Your Scissors
on Oct 24, 2009Two inserts in the paper tomorrow. I haven't looked really closely, but I did see that there are a lot of diaper coupons. If you need diapers like I need diapers, you might want to grab a few papers.

Check your car insurance
on Oct 21, 2009I switched companies for my car insurance today and am now paying almost half of what I used to. Huge savings. Better coverage. Crazy that I didn't do it sooner. Check around. I used Progressive this time. I'm going to make it a habit to compar...
