Bargains of the Week

 

I am starting to get good at this “extreme” couponing thing.  I spent about $4 out of pocket on all you see here and made about $16 in rewards to use next time.  These were sale items at Walgreen’s and CVS. I had $20 in rewards from the previous week that I used in addition to manufacturer coupons.  I was excited to find a deal on little toys to put in Easter baskets for the kids.  On a separate trip, I  found Colgate toothpaste at Walgreen’s for .09 and I got 2 Air Wick Freshmatic Starter Kits for free.

St. Patrick’s Day? What’s for dinner?

Ah Yes, what should I make for dinner?  I got it, here you go.  Sauerkraut, Swiss, and corned beef goodness.  THE RUBEN!

Thanks Betsy for prepping everything.  To bad you wont get to eat it until 9:30PM.

Work IT Girl!!!

Just got back from a LONG weekend in Des Moines at the Adrenaline Dance convention.  Leah took 2 days of workshop dance classes and competed at night.  When we arrived in Des Moines Friday afternoon, I had to get her ready right away for her first dance – Leah was very disappointed.  She REALLY wanted to go swimming with the other girls we drove down and roomed with.  LOVE my other True Dance daughters!  We had LOTS of good girl time!  Leah competed with her trio and got third overall and THEN I let her go swimming!  Leah was entered as a “mini” which was a little too easy for her – so when she was done with “mini” classes – I took her to the “junior” classes – which were a challenge!  Leah won a scholarship to attend a future Adrenaline convention for free!  VERY exciting!  All that hard work paid off!

Leah’s 9th Birthday

Better late than never – here are the pictures from Leah’s birthday.  She had an action-packed weekend! I don’t know if I’d do the slumber party thing again – it was pretty wild!  Eric was so tired the next day – he slept for hours!
