It has been almost five months since I have blogged! Yikes! I won't try to recap too much, but one of my resolutions is to be a better blogger! I'm magnificent at stalking, just stink at keeping my own blog current!
The boys are both doing great in school. So very proud of them. Caden is blossoming in to a reader before our eyes. He is spelling out every word he sees and I mean *every* word! Coy has done so much better than expected in public school. He is in band playing the trumpet and is doing very well considering most of the kids in the seventh grade band had a year advantage on him! Chase is still thinking about joining the military. They are all growing up on me and it makes me sad! I don't think when Chase and Coy were growing and changing and even still, it has affected me so much! I was looking at Caden the other day. He was standing in the living room, in his underwear, playing the Wii! So cute, so little, but so big. *sad* I told him to never grow up. He informed he must, but he will still live me!*grin*
Joe and I talked a couple of months ago, well, we talk a little more frequently than that, but about the possibility of me going back to work. All of the kids are in school and don't need me during the day and we could really use the extra money. However, the fact still remains that during the summer and . . .I won't bore with all the dirty details, but if I can save say $400 a month, I couldn't clear that at a part time job. So, I have entered the world of couponing. I mean *really* couponing, like crazy coupon lady couponing. In the month of January, I have saved already a ton of money! We have more food, health and beauty aids, over-the-counter medicine and paper towels than we know what to do with. I am at the point in my "stock-piling" than I now can just buy, milk, eggs and bread and only things that are free - super cheap! If you are interested, you can check out
Time 2 $ave,
Southern Savers or
Deal Seeking Mom are the blogs I follow the most. I am telling you, who know you could get paid to buy Band Aid brand bandages? I have! About $12! I have lots of band aids to show for it too!
I also have been following several baking blogs. A couple of my favorites are
I Am Baker,
Sweetopia and
Pioneer Woman. Pioneer Woman actually covers two of my passions, baking and photography. I have been dabbling around in . You can check out my photo blog at
Photography by Andie My last was a wedding, so not happy with it, but the bride and groom were pleased so I guess thats all that counts.
I'll end here with a promise to keep up from now on! Hopefully. . .
