I did it again...

Check out this great deal:

3 Kashi frozen pizzas
3 Kashi waffles
6 KAshi personal frozen meals (really good pesto or primavera)
2 bottles of BBQ sauce
total spent: 8.94

Not bed when considering it was 61.87 before sales or coupons... and the BBQ sauce ended up being free. I have several more of these coupon packs and cereal and BBQ sauce coupons that I plan to go and use tomorrow.

Not much else going on around here. I took Kylie to her third Dr. Appointment of the week and it turns out she has Pea and carrot allergies. Interesting. Unfortunately, that doesn't explain her diaper issues so now we get to go lactose free for two weeks to see if that makes a difference. Hopefully she can tolerate the soy milk I got her today!

And Justin is off bear hunting. He really wants to get a bear and make a rug out of it. At least that would save us from having to buy a rug for one of the bedrooms in our new house, right? And we should also be closing on our house by the end of next week, so wish us luck and hopefully Justin can refinish the hardwood floors without too much of a problem before we have to be out of this house. I am tired just thinking about it.

Last Year I loved it...


But now that the children don't want to sleep at night- or in the morning, I am ready for fall! Keep in mind it is actually light about an hour before sunrise and an hour after so we are only really getting about 5 hours of darkness.
No wonder our family of four is sleep deprived...

Prepare To Be Dazzled

I used to be bg in to couponing. Most people that know me know that I like a good deal and I refuse to ever pay full price for anything. When we moved to Alaska I became a little discouraged with the coupon thing because the food up here cost so much more and they didn't have half as good of sales as they do in the lower 48 so I haven't been as vigilant the last year or so. However, my friends at Discount Queens and Krazy Coupon Lady have re inspired me so look what I did:

My bill would have been $41.41 if I had paid full price. Instead I got all of this out of pocket for : $2.45
For a 94% savings.
Yes, I know I am cool.
Wait and see what I pull off with Diet Coke later this week.

Meet My Ballerina/ Tinkerbell

We received a bag of hand me downs from a friend recently but I didn't go through it really until last week. Inside was a leotard which Macy has fallen in love with. It has become very difficult for me to get her to wear anything besides it so when we are staying at home, I don't even try. Some days she is a ballerina and she twirls and leaps around the house endlessly. Other days she is Tinkerbell and she flies around putting Pixie Dust on all of her toys. Either way, she is too cute not to share with the world.

And there are more adorable pictures on my other blog for those of you interested in seeing my girls model their newest dress. Enjoy!

New Blog

So in order to relieve my family and friends of my sewing adventures and my sewing buddies from my child adventures, I have started another blog. Nicholecreates.blogspot.com
This will showcase my sewing projects and I will also use it to advertise my Etsy store. I would love it if you would "Follow Me" there because I will be doing a giveaway sometime soon! Thanks for putting up with me for so long. :)
