NEW VACUUM!!

this week our vacuum went kaputt.. not really suprised.  Due to our unluckiness with Vacuums, we buy the under $75 vacuum. 

I kind of like it.  It is a Bissel.  It pushes real easy and smooth, and seems to pick up dust, dog hair, ect pretty good.

kind of like this one



only mine is purple..

The Absence

It has been a whole week since I have posted anything, and I realize that is odd for me. 

This week has been very hectic and I have been exhausted. 

My mom had an severe allergic reaction to some meds and ended up in the ICU.  She is still there but is doing better, so I (and my sibblings) can breathe again.. (taking deep breath now).

We didn't go visit her at all today, but  do plan on visiting tomorrow (if you are wondering)

So I am sorry, to anyone who was looking for this weeks coupon match ups, becuase I really didn't even look till yesterday, and then just cut out the ones I needed.  I do plan on doing next weeks though.

CVS Coupon match ups (links)

Once again I don't think I need to reinvent the wheel.  Thier are tons of blogs out thier that already have them matched up.  Here are the ones I go to.

dealseekingmom.

I do believe that surving the stores and couponing 101 give out scenerios for people who have just started.  Have fun..

I personally will be going for some toothpaste and toothbrushes.  (didn't see much else, that I want, but thier is also some cheap makeup)

1$ off of 1 YoBaby

I love these yogurts.  The 3 in 1 meals at Walmart they cost a little over 1$, so they are almost free with the coupon. 

1$/1 stoneyfield yobaby organic whole milk yogurt

you will have to register or sign in.  According to Freebies 4 mom, you can print up to 5, I also did 5 (although two of mine are ruined due to printer issues)  to get five you will have to print what they allow the first time, log out, and come back and reclick the link and relog in.  but you get 5 coupons.. Isn't it great!!

I should add that N can be a little pickey and really doesn't eat much but he loves yogurt.. and he will eat the 3 in 1 meals (which are basically yogurt mixed with other pureed food)

oh if you know me in person and can print some of these out for me I would really really really appreciate it.. and to my wonderfull mom and mother in law, I will probally be by to use your computer soon!!

LOVE IT!!

(i really need to get a walmart run together i guess.)

A Free Sample

Tropical Chewy Lemon Head and Friends (i'm definitely trying this one.. we love candy in this house)

My Coupon Hunter

Need a coupon but can't find it, or maybe you found or stumbled across a good deal and want more, but dont' have anymore coupons.

well thier is a answer.  Purchase some. 

Purchasing coupons (or paying someone for thier time to clip them for you) is something that is new to me. But a few times recently I needed a few extra so I made the leap and purchased a few.  I have now done it for 3 weeks in a row. 

I have found my coupon hunter to be fairly easy to navigate.  Her prices are reasonable (I have never spent more than I spend on a paper).  And she ships in a timely manor (I usually get mine in 3 days) 

For all of these reasons I am adding her button to the side of my blog.  If you need coupons I highly recomend her

(I should add though I know thier are other services out thier, and I know little about them.  )

marble painting

E and I did this activity the other day (Paint a Marbled Heat Card), and it was loads of fun (no pics of that though).  So when B had to make a valentines box for his valentimes to be put in, I thought this would be a great way to do it.

to marble paint, you put your paper in a pan or something with sides ( we used a texas sheet pan, and a avon box lid)  then you dip your marbles in the paint, put them in your container and tilt your container so they roll around.  We did the same thing the second time, only we used heart cut outs. We then glued the full sheets to the cereal box, and glued the hearts over that (we also had some hearts that had no paint on them)

It came out pretty neat.  For better instructions click the link though..




even N did a shake or two!!
