Couponing Week of June 19th
In order to stay at home next year, I have got to find ways to save money. Thanks to one of my best friends, Kayla Payne, one of the ways I am doing that is with couponing. "Couponing" is a LOT of work, but the rewards are amazing. This week I went to CVS to get a baby deal. Spend $25 in baby products and you get $10 in rewards back to use next week. Here is my haul:
I got $62.81 worth of stuff for $23.40. Pretty good considering that huge box of diapers cost that much normally. Plus i got over $20 back to spend next time I go in there. Since couponing has become so popular, the good deals have been harder to get. People are waiting at the stores Sunday morning to get the best stuff and the best deals run out quickly. I was happy that only one deal I wanted was gone this trip! It's the worst when you do all that work and others have cleared the shelves!
Ryder's First Swim
I can't say that Ryder exactly liked to swim, but he didn't dislike it either. He never cried, which I was shocked at. He even smiled and laughed a couple of times. I think he'll eventually like it!
Father's Day 2011
For Father's Day Ryder got his Daddy two BBQing cookbooks, an "I Love Daddy" mug, a mousepad full of his pictures, and a 22 rifle.

A Few of My Favorite Things
10. Book Club. I love my little book club that has grown over the last 3 years! Not only is it an awesome excuse to see my friends, I've read new genres that I would have never read before. I love discussing the book AND everything else that is going on in our lives, and then finding out what the new books are! So much fun!
9. Sewing- Okay let's be honest, I just started. In fact I've only sewed once, but I just love the possibilities of it. Love that I can create, and the fabrics are sooo much fun!
8. Netflix- I've always loved the convenience of Netflix, but now that we have the Wii hooked up and get streaming movies instantly, I've become obsessed. I bet I've watched more movies the past month and I have the past year.
7. Saving Money! Even though couponing is a new trend, I've been doing it for over a year now and love it! I used to have no idea how much things cost, but now I can't stand to pay more than I know I've bought it for before. It's like a game. A very addictive game! I've walked out of Kroger with $120 worth of stuff for $22 and out of CVS with $73 worth of stuff for $.97!
6. Traveling- Disney World, Hawaii, Las Vegas, Chicago, Hilton Head- Just to name a few! I love making memories with my loved ones. I especially love trying new restaurants or old favorites that I hardly ever get to go to!
5. Trying new recipes- especially when they turn out right! And then of course blogging them. I love looking back on my blog. There is no way I would remember which recipes I liked and didn't like!

4. IPad/IPhone
From keeping up to Ryder's feedings to surfing Facebook, I have come to love everything Apple! It's plain and simple Apps make the world better. They're the ultimate instant gratification.
3. Kindle
I fought and fought against an e-reader. I love books... the way they smell and feel. I can't imagine a world without real books, so the thought of books moving in this direction scares me a little. But, after getting a Kindle app on my IPad and IPhone, I couldn't help wanting one. They're just so convenient. Any book I want in less than 60 seconds. And it really does read like a book and weighs about the same as one too. And to be honest it's easier to hold. I love that anywhere I am, whenever I get free time, I can get on my phone and start reading the book I was reading at home, and it syncs to the same spot! Genius!
2. Hanging out with my little family including my baby, puppies, and husband.
