Coupons! And other things...

So, recently (before Extreme Couponing) Jonathan and I decided we need to really try to get into couponing. We've learned that if you do it right you can really save.  Boy has it been an adventure to get started! We're still in the middle of organizing. Probably what we need to do is just sit and spend an hour or two clipping and organizing on Sundays.  As it is, we still have clipped coupons to put in our binder.  It will be a learning process. One thing we've come across is various blogs for couponing as well as places you can print coupons from, such as coupons.com.

As far as help with couponing, you should check out my friend Stacie's blog.

As much as it embarrasses me to say, only today have I discovered her coupon database.  I am certainly more than thrilled to use it! She also lists the best deals for our local stores. You can bet I will be following her blog a LOT more closely now!

Anywho, slowly but surely we'll get it.  It's all about knowing what coupons are out there and matching them up with items on sale.

And on to other things. As I've said before.. WHAT A WEEK!!  It's 11:44 pm and I'm not entirely sure how I'm still awake! LOL  But, I want to stay up until Jonathan gets home from work.  Poor little Riley was SO tired tonight. Because of one thing or another, he didn't really get a nap today until AFTER 5!  He got up at 10:30 or so today, which is actually earlier than normal.  He ate twice before going to Aunt Robin's. He probably should have gotten a nap right then, but I'm betting he was excited to play with her.

Well, tonight after I got to mom's to pick him up I tried to see if he wanted to nurse. Boy, was he not interested! LOL  So, we packed up and headed to Walmart. I expected him to be asleep before I got to Walmart, but of course not! He's nosy and has to know everything going on! LOL  He finally fell asleep at Walmart and stayed asleep on the way home and while I unloaded the Walmart bags.  Then he nursed and it was time for a walk.

By the way, today was BEAUTIFUL!!  We got out and headed towards Mom and Dad's.  We walked through the park and through my elementary school grounds.  We stopped in and visited with mom a little while and headed home. On the way back, Riley was enjoying looking back up at me, it was too cute!

Then of course I had to take a picture from the front. :)

Yes, this is Mommy's Major Hunk! :)

We walked a bit further and the sky caught my eye.

Such a pretty array of colors. Rather Easter like actually!

As we walked on and got closer to home, I noticed Riley's feet...

He's going to be just like Momma, riding in the car with his feet on the dash! :)


Tomorrow should prove to be a busy day. I need to visit the donut shop to pick up the bunny bread for Easter lunch. Then I want to take Riley to the Easter egg hunt to get his picture with the Easter bunny and Big Bird (and possibly Elmo, The Cookie Monster and Minnie Mouse).  Tomorrow evening is grilling at Mom and Dad's. Laura and Bob might be in town.  Then Sunday is church and lunch. Then Jonathan, Riley and I are getting away and going to Wichita for dinner.  Busy weekend, but it should be good. :)
