New Blog

So I got on today to post my great shopping deal for this week (which I must say was one of my best yet!), and I decided that this blog is my Family blog- about us and mostly Deegan, so maybe some of you are tired of hearing my shopping deals, and would rather skip that! So I made a new blog that will be filled with all of my great shopping trips and some tips as to how you can be a great shopper too! So, for those of you who enjoy hearing about it, and maybe even are interested in learning how I do it, Check it out! http://shoppingtripsandtips.blogspot.com/
For those of you who don't- I won't bore you anymore with that and you can just see how my sweet little boy is doing instead!

Snow day and another great deal!

So, like I said, we got a ton of snow on Monday. Well, Deegan and I got tired of being stuck inside, so I bundled him up and took him out to play. He hasn't gotten to play in the snow before Monday because I can NOT find snow clothes small enough. I just finally decided, too bad- we'll make do with what we have ( 1 pair of size 7 snow boots, 1 pair of wind pants, 1 pair of jeans, 2 pairs of socks, a onesie, a tee shirt, a hoodie, a coat and a light weight pair of gloves! It worked out great except that his hands were soaked immediately. He loved it and Adam took him out yesterday afternoon on the snow tube that we got for Christmas. We have a small retaining wall between the firepit area and our "orchard", so he built a hill down that and went sledding. They both had SO much fun! I didn't get pics of the sleddin, but I did get some of my Stay Puff Marshmallow!

So here's my great deal for yesterday-$12 for 30 bottles of suave shampoo and conditioner and 2 bags of chocolate chips. That makes the shampoo/conditioners about $0.30 each! What a deal... I figure, the conditioners ( which they had a lot more of than shampoos) are good to use for shaving creams!

So Long Spring, and something fun to do with $50!

So I was so excited to say good bye to all of the snow that quickly melted off of my driveway, lawn and deck. It has been great because Turk can run around outside all day and get his energy out, Deegan and I have been able to take a few walks, and we are comfortable with out coats when we go out! Well, this morning, Adam woke me up as he left for work, telling me that we got about 8 inches of snow last night. When I got out of bed a couple hours later, I looked outside and was reminded of the snow. His foot prints were completely covered. There was no sign of any life outside. I opened the back door to let Turk out, and found that the snow was about 15 inches deep! (Poor Turk walked right into it not knowing how deep it was and nearly drowned himself in snow!) SO I decded I'd better get out and clear a path to the yard for him. Here's what it looked like at about 8:00 this morning, but it is still snowing....

So I guess I am saying so long to spring for a little while longer instead of winter!

Anyway, yesterday (I know I shouldn't have been shopping on Sunday, but I couldn't pass it up!) I went to Walgreens for a really great deal on Huggies Diapers... Ok, so it's not the MOST fun thing to do with $50, but I get pretty excited :-) Anyway, I spend a little over $50, and got 12 packs of 30-40 Huggies diapers. Unfotunately the Gentle Care (Size 1 and 2) were cheaper than the 4's, so I stocked up on those too. I figure they make great gifts, or one day I'll use them for the next baby! Too good of a deal to pass up! (the picture is kind of blurry- I was using my phone, and had to act fast because this was a really fun pile of diapers for Deegan to climb all over!)
