Because I got to them first! So I can't believe the crazy deal there is at Albertsons right now. If you aren't busy hop in your car and go right now.....that is assuming you eat tuna fish. I bought 120 packets of Tuna fish for what??? 12 DoLLarS (but I still have 6 dollars for my next order)
If you want to do it here is how:
Buy 30 packets of the Tuna that is 1.25
At most Albertsons they will have a tear pad with coupons buy 3 get 1.50 off (if they don't have it by the Tuna Isle look for an end cap)
When you buy 30 it will automatically take 15$ off your bill
give them 10 of those coupons for another 15$ off
You will then have to pay 7.50 BUT you will get 6 coupons for 1.00 off your next order
Repeat until your out of coupons or you see the sign above :)

***And yes, I am aware that tuna fish contains mercury but my girlish figure takes priority over that j/k

I am sure this won't be the last time

I have been been testing out my homeschooling skills on Dallas and we are doing the book How to teach a child to ready in 100 easy lessons He has been amazing me everyday at how well he is reading. It is a lot of fun to see growth in your child this way.
The other day we went to the store and I saw a piece of paper that had his name on it. It was in the parking lot, so it had been run over quite a few times so it looked really worn and all the letters were hard to see. I said "Dallas look! That has your name on it." He picked it up stared and it and said "Mom, no it doesn't it says ASS!" He has no clue what he just said and all I can do was smile (and it took everything not to laugh) and his awesome reading skills.

I heart the color

red



Posted by Picasa

I also heart my cute little Ava modeling my apron. So if you want these two treasures (the aprons of course) they can be yours. The full apron 15$ ( it has adjustable straps that slide to fit) and the half one is 10$. And if you think that is just a ridiculous price let me know :) The size is for children 5-7 that is why it looks more like a dress on Ava. The color isn't coming out as good as it is in person. Red seems like a difficult color to photograph. And they both have 2 pockets.....and make sure you see my last post...I have two today

So much to say, So little time

I am sure most of you are ready to drop my blog off the radar. i haven't really known what to write and don't have much time to do it these days. I have been doing some yard work, school work, sewing, LOTS of TRAINING, when I can much needed SUN bathing and if truth be told lots of couponing :)

Reese's last day of school is tomorrow. I can't beleive that she is now a first grader. She is so excited too, but more excited to be 6 1/2...not really sure why that is. She has grown so much and I continually tell her to stop. She said that God won't let her and she is going to just keep growing. So sad. I have to say though as much as I don't want her to grow up she gets better with age for sure. We had some tough infant stages with her. She is now a very thoughtful little gal and a gift giver indeed. Above is the Apron we gave her teacher Mrs. Park. I wish I had a picture of her to show you. I also have to say that this Apron was one of my favorites. I found a pattern were the straps will slide up or down for easy adjustment. LOVE THAT! So if you want one let me know 25$ is the price and I can do it in other fabrics if you would like :) I think that I will focus more on aprons then nursing covers....well see

I have so much more to say, but the kids are needing me....I will leave you with a few pictures of my darlings

Question: When you are using coupons do you find yourself buying things you normally wouldn't?

Answer: Yes and that is a Big F A T YES!

But don't let that scare you away. Because the only reason why you would buy those items is because you get the items you really want for cheap. Making any sense? My battery is dead on my camera otherwise I would show you a picture. But tonight I went shopping and I bought the following:

12 boxes of Kraft Pasta Salad (totally didn't need this, I think that I have about 30 boxes now)
4 boxes of Bagel-fuls
2 lbs Seattle's Best Coffee

Total out of Pocket (OOP): $1.00 What am I saying inside WHOO HOO! Thank you Jesus!

So let me explain a little more in detail just in case you need that :)

they are having a deal at Albertsons if you spend 10$ on certain items they will automatically take 3$ off. So here was my first transaction:
6 boxes of pasta salad (coupon buy 2 get a 1$ off)
1 lb coffee

11$ total
-3 promo
-3 pasta salad
-1.50 coffee coupon
-3 albertsons doubles (in the ad)
=.50 cents (did this twice)

My third transaction was:
4 bagel-fuls
10$ total
-3 promo
-4 1$ off coupons
-3 albertsons doubles
=$0.00
Coupons are great! So all in all I would not of been able to get the coffee for .50 cents if I didn't buy all that pasta salad.

Catch Up


Man so I have thought of so many things to blog about, but when it comes time to do so I am just wiped or off to other things. I think that is what I do best..."off to other things" I am sure I could take pictures of every room in my house and you will find something that I started, but had not yet finished. Probably one of my husbands biggest pet peeves about me :) So what have I been up too?? Enjoying the Sun! I don't think I have been this tan in may for a long long time! And lets just say I am enjoying it! The grass is starting to make an appearance and looks like a old mans head. Our car is still having issues and you would think after 1k of work that it would be good as new, but nope not the case. I was just driving it and the brake light came on.....ahh it never ends. But on a more positive note...I have really been LOVING the whole coupon thing. I just got a free hairdryer :) + 10$ for my next purchase WHOO HOO! Okay so I am really tired and this post may not make much sense so I think that I will just finish with some cute pictures of my darlings.....Riding in the back of the pickup
Stay tuned (one of those projects I was talking about ;)


Us all packing into the truck....amazing!
She is a Super Lion!


I heard her crying and this is where I found her

Okay Dallas when you hit the ball you need to run to 1st base, 2nd base, and then home.....no mom! I don't want to go home!Reese was outside singing today while she was on the swing. And she says to me. "Mom, the sun is coming out because I am singing....I am wakin it up!" Keep singing girl, keep singing!Dallas: Look mom his doesn't have twin wheels! (translation:training wheels)Dallas: When I am a daddy....I want one of those baby Norahs.So sweet!Reese: Mom I like these things...What things? Reese: These Rat-tat-too-ies Do you mean Tattoos?Reese: Yah! TattoosDallas was holding Norah and this is what he said....Norah pooped. She pooped 3 times....Oooo....she pooped 10 times mom!!Reese was going to the bathroom and when she was done she looked (as all kids do) and said "oooo, look mom. I ate carrots!"Reese has been wanting her ears pierced. She spent that night at Ambers house and asked her if she could do it. Amber told her that it would hurt and after she did one ear she would have to do the second ear. She said "how bout you do the second ear first"We been telling the kids that Norah can't have anything to eat because she is to little. Dallas walks in the hospital and get up to look at Norah and says: "I want to see if she has a mouth"In the morning when the kids wake up they come and crawl in bed with us. I was laying on my side talking with Reese. She looked at me and said "Mom...your boobs are hugging" I just laughed. She then said "they love each other" The thoughts of a 5 ....and just in case you were wondering. I was wearing a tank top ;)Mom....when I am a mom I will have two kids and then we will have lots of kids at our house!!(And what do we have now...I am thinking)Dallas looked at my blog and the picture of the "barefoot and pregnant""mommy that's you!"Boy do I love that kid ;)My room is usually a mess. Of course I have all the "good" excuses as to why :) Well my surprise when I got home from work was a nice clean room with a made bed.When Reese came and got me this morning she said "Mom your room is Amazing!"

the things they say...

Reese: Hey mom look! She walks just fine and doesn't even need a cane! (we were at costco and she said this about an elderly lady...nice!)
