Titan has been trying to convince us that he doesn't need naps anymore. I'd be more convinced except when he doesn't get a nap he turns into Sir. Grumpy Pants & on more than one occasion we've found him like this... ...and like this... The day of the second picture we actually put him in his crib for over an hour trying to get him to take a nap & the entire time he kept shouting,"Mom...Dad...

I always have to smile when I hear people say that they don't "coupon" because you can't eat healthy with coupons, or you can't cook dinner with things you buy with coupons. There is also the popular line that "Eating healthy is too expensive."  It is because of these two statements that I've decided to post a glimpse into our fridge & freezer.  As I mentioned yesterday, this month we spent under

Remember my $200 a month budget for groceries and household items? Well, here is how we did this month:  Shelf Cost: $569.21Savings Amount: $282.45Savings Percentage: 49.62%Total spent in January: $286.76 As you can see, I went over our $200 budget by $86.76 this month. So we did not stay on budget this month when you look at just those numbers. Plus, my savings percentage is a little low. I'd

So, I was checking all the frugal/deal finding sites that I check each day for my job and on one of the sites (can't remember which right now) I came across this brilliant idea! The idea is, you take your old pant hangers with clips and turn them into clips for your chips, opened bags & anything else you need a clip for!  This idea is so simple and yet so genius...especially for someone like me

Now that I know we'll be moving in the next 6 months or so, my goals around here have been less about decorating (ie. painting over the black that's been on our walls since we got here, switching out the black curtains, etc.) & more about getting organized. That way when we do move, it's as easy as possible and we don't spend our time & money moving junk!  Here is one of the first projects I've

Here is a random fact about me, I LOVE getting mail. I love getting the mail every day and seeing what's inside. In fact, one of the only things I don't like about where we live in Colorado is that our mailbox is not right in front of our house! Mind you, it's just a short walk down the street, but still, I grew up on Utah in a neighborhood where the mailbox was just at the end of the

I heard this on a video the other day and haven't stopped thinking about it... "The simplest way of talking about a miracle, is that a miracle is a shift in perception, it's the moment YOU choose to perceive your life with love. It's the moment YOU choose to forgive someone. It's the moment YOU choose to shift your mind & therefore change your experience & when your experience changes a

ti guy is obsessed with dannon danimal fruit smoothies, or as we call them "monkey smoothies". if we let him, he will drink 4-6 of them a day & still ask for more. since i can't always find these on sale at the price i want often enough (i like to only pay $0.50-$1.00 for a 6 pack). i decided it was time to make my own healthier version. now,  in the past we have tried to just give titan a

a new book was released last week called the money saving mom's budget. it's a book all about slashing your spending, paying down your debt, streamlining your life & saving thousands a year...and it's a book that i'm quoted talking about our $50 a week grocery budget in. i know...me quoted in a book about saving money??? that's something you've got to see with your own eyes.

in our effort to simplify around here we have two new goals when it comes to our food. the first goal is to better organize our food storage & keep track of what we actually have from here on out. the second goal is to eat up what we have bought up to this point, but then replace anything that isn't as healthy as we'd like it to be with a healthier alternative, or not at all when it runs out.

as mentioned yesterday, this year i'll be posting periodically each month about our $200 a month grocery & home goal. here is what has been spent so far in january:  $8.25 for 4 boxes of quaker dinosaur oatmeal on amazon (reg. $12.06). am hoping that oatmeal with dinosaur eggs in it will be more appealing to my three year old little man who currently is not so keen on oatmeal.

it's a new year. that means new goals, and for me...a new money plan. now, let's be clear here...we all know money has never been my strong point. i definitely prefer to spend money than save it. that doesn't mean i don't prefer to save money when purchasing things, i definitely do (i even work for a money saving site)! i just like to go spend that saved money almost immediately after saving it

i headed to target today to look for some plastic wrap for some frames i need to wrap back up and put back into storage. i didn't end up finding the plastic wrap i needed, but i did end up finding quite a few things to bring home from the halloween section. i wandered over to what was left of the halloween items, and was surprised to see signs saying things were still only 50% off. thankfully

yesterday we celebrated titan's 3rd birthday by inviting some of his friends over for a cars 2 birthday party. a few lessons were learned with this party, which actually is the first "friends party" we have thrown for titan: first, when planning on how many kids to invite, keep in mind your location and the time of year. originally we had planned on inviting 12-15 kids, but then at the last

i was checking the site i work for (freebies2deals) this afternoon and saw a deal posted about huggies diapers and wipes at smith's grocery store in utah. so i gathered together my coupons and headed to our local kroger chain (king soopers) to see if i could score the same deal. we can always use more pull ups/diapers and wipes around here. the deal was as follows: purchase 2 huggies packs of

let me begin by saying, i've been thinking a lot lately about the balance of raising a child. how much is too much discipline? are we being to easy going? or are we being too strict? are we teaching titan the right things? are we teaching him enough? are we allowing him to be who he is? or are we stiffling him & making be who we want him to be? etc.  yes. this is a debate and struggle that

yes. that's right. i've decided to start taking part in "what i wore wednesday" over at the pleated poppy again.  my reasoning for this is two fold. 1) i have a ton of clothes and need to start being more creative with them & 2) i have a lot of outfits that i "save" for some reason i'm not sure of, you know like that "perfect event" but because i'm saving them, they never end up getting worn. for

while we were in utah my mom took titan on a grandma & grandson movie date to see winnie the pooh and i got to tag along. titan liked the movie and had lots of fun dancing along to the music, while i personally was so happy the movie wasn't any longer than it already was! in my opinion, wait until this hits redbox & your child demands it! seriously, unless those two stars align...skip it!

i was sent this video in an email earlier today and immediately thought i needed to post it. i actually have a food storage post in the works, but feel that this video needs to be shown sooner than later. do you have a food storage? one that you actually know how to cook & will be able to eat? if you don't i urge you to start the process to building one. in my mind, food storage is no longer an

i'm nannying for a family this week, well for about 8 days to be exact, while the parents are on a trip and due to the overwhelming amount of times i've been asked "can you handle that many kids?" (there are only 2!) or "if you need ANYTHING, just let me know." (with a very worried look) or even "feel free to call if you need an out or can't handle it". i figured a post might be needed. thought

are you all ready for the most addicting dip ever? i had this at a christmas party this last december and knew i had to have the recipe. especially, when i heard how easy it is to make! the only downside to this recipe is the cost. it can get a little pricey, but i plan on stocking up on the ingredients when i see them go on sale (...and i have a coupon...and there is a store promo!). in fact, i

my mom sent me a video this morning and i find it incredible. it's a lesson on enthusiasm and on sharing GOOD music with our children, that's for sure. i think most of us give too little credit to our little ones and what they can truly comprehend or learn but look at this three year old go! bravo to the parents for introducing him to beethoven and for encouraging his interest at such a young

broc told me this morning that i could bring titan to his school today to see a black hawk helicopter land and take off. broc's school was having a military symposium and so they had various speakers (including the crew of the helicopter) coming to speak to the med students. needless to say, ti guy LOVED the helicopter and thought he could fly it, piece of cake. he kept calling it his "helicoper

our wedding day ~ 2006 over the weekend broc and i were able to go out to dinner and attend a fireside put on by our church (it was the adult session of stake conference).  for dinner we went to bucca di beppo & it was the first time for both of us. must admit, it is definitely a new favorite of ours. we loved everything we ordered and the fun, family friendly atmosphere of the restaurant was

it's friday, which means time for an update on my budget & weekly goal. to be honest, i'm a tad over. well, i'll just say it... i'm over more than a tad. i never have been the best budgetier (not a word, but i'm still using it) so i'm chalking these first few weeks up to the learning curve of it all. right? right!  i mean it couldn't a total and complete lack of self control when it comes to all

today i actually have a guest post for all of you. a few months ago i met jodi. the first time i ever met her was actually over the phone and i instantly knew she was going to be on my list of all time favorite people. she was so easy to talk to, very upbeat and positive and i left the phone conversation feeling fabulous about myself!? yes, that's right, about myself. you see, jodi is the kind of

i did it! i finally took the plunge tonight and cut both titan and broc's hair!!! i'll admit it was nerve racking at first (well until i was done actually!) but i think over time i'll get the hang of it. the cuts aren't perfect by any means, to an untrained eye though, i think they'll pass! from here on out, this little family will only be getting haircuts when we are in utah and can get aunt

i have given myself a challenge. what is the challenge? i have challenged myself to get our grocery/home/toiletries/personal care budget for the whole family (two adults & one two year old) to under $50 a week, or $200 a month!  currently i am perfectly capable of spending two or three times that - so it will be a challenge, but one i honestly believe can be done. my ultimate goal is actually

it is a happy day around here! the weather has shifted (even if just momentarily) and we are having sunny 60 degree weather! heaven! of course, in the short time we lived here i've already come to understand that in colorado you can have 60 degree weather one day and -2 degree weather the next. so i will soak up as much of this sunshine as i can!!! i'm already dreaming of diet cokes poolside

hi blog friends! are any of you still around? i realize i have been a little "mia" the past few weeks. i'm hoping after this weekend to be back in the swing of things again though. of course, we shall see. i love blogging but it certainly is not a numero one priority in my life so there are times it does have to take to the back burner. what i love about blogging though is, that i can do it on my

where, oh where, are the days going? i can't believe i'm already to the fourth week of my list. this week the focus is on keeping it simple. such a (dare i say) simple statement and yet so so hard at times to actually do. i am "details" kind of gal myself. i notice details. i am constantly aware of the tiniest insesiest details. like a flower arrangement in the lobby on an episode of house,

yesterday the little man was asking for "robinsons". i looked in his movie basket for it and didn't see it so i told him he needed to select another movie, a few minutes later i looked into the little man's room & saw this: which led to this: and finding all this: victory for the little man!  we have now watched "robinsons" at least three times.  ps. if you are looking for a movie to watch

what popped up in google images when i searched for "baby genius". love it!  my little man loves music so it was no surprise on our last road trip to utah that when he saw me listening to my music on my ipod touch that he wanted to listen as well. it was while thumbing through my playlists looking for something "2 year old" appropriate that i realized we don't really own any kid music! uh oh!

ah. week three of my new years resolutions. this week the goal is to begin and end each day with prayer, meditation and reflection. i must admit, am still working on cultivating gratitude and fitting in an hour of solitude each day. truthfully, some days i'm just grateful for 5 minutes of solitude. although i have noticed a huge difference when i make the time for longer periods of solitude

intention. that words seems to be a "buzz" word for me lately. i am hearing it pop up all over the place & it has made me pause more than once in the past week. you may even remember this post i wrote about being intentional just a few days ago. today it it caught my attention again in a big way, as if to say, "i'm pretty important - LISTEN UP! maybe you didn't get it enough the first time,

i promise, i promise i am not turning into one of those "deals" only sites. it's just that this morning i woke up to a few promo's in my inbox that i just have to share. it is definitely a good shopping day. you'll want to jump on these quick because they will sell out. first up, $15 for $30 at bath & body! have you tried their spa line? the heel of approval product is to die for ah-mazing.

to continue, sort of, along the same thought vein as yesterday and "being intentional", one of my side goals this year has been to simplify and to stop living for "someday". to put that into context, we have not lived in our "own" place since 6 months after being married, which means that for the past 3 1/2 years all of our stuff (and anything else we've collected along the way) has been in

i've done a lot of walgreen's posts so i thought it was time to venture out and show another store. here is my trip to target today: if i were paying full price,  approx. $44 would have bought me this today (or like items & quantity): 1 - faux leather jacket for the mini man $25.00 regular price (so excited about this!)1- long sleeve plaid shirt - $10.00 regular price1- football sweatshirt -

in keeping in line with my new years resolutions, today i am continuing my practice of cultivating an attitude of gratitude in all things, as well as adding on "carve out an hour of solitude every day". i must admit when i saw this next up on the agenda, i was excited but also a little skeptical. i mean who really has time for an hour of solitude every day, especially when you have a two year old

this week as part of my new years resolutions my thoughts on are on gratitude and how to cultivate more of it in my life. how to really savor and enjoy all that i have. to really appreciate and give thanks for all that is mine. as i thought about gratitude this last weekend, i found i have so much. so much, that i don't always appreciate all of it and all that i have been given. i need to change

broc took our little man sledding out in our front yard for the first time a couple days ago and it was a huge hit! ti kept asking, "one more time!?" which would of course lead to five more times. he was too busy to let me get any really good photo's but here is what i was able to get. sledding with dad - oh so fun!  here he is pointing at the flock of birds that fly over our neighborhood.
