Good Deals at Walgreens!

Color Wonder kits for $2.39!

Antibacterial wet wipes for .25 cents a package - a pot of gold (of sorts)

The entire haul.

I am on a mission to save the rest of 2009! I will share more later about my yearly spending budget for groceries. I saved $43.49 with coupons and mark downs and paid out of pocket ZERO cause I paid with my Walgreen's gift card that I earned money on by sending in for Walgreen's Rebate. Total spent on gift card was $3.53. Rock On!

"Larry" the friendly Leprechaun

So After reading Family Fun magazine I got this brilliant idea or rather "Larry" the Leprechaun did anyway. Larry made his first visit to our house yesterday when we discovered the green rice below..sneaky leprechaun. He left Bean a nice note and picture to color. Today, he struck again coloring her macaroni for school green. At first - Bean thought this was kinda cool. But then she thought that Larry just spit all over her macaroni to make it green. Needless to say I had to explain that Larry is nice and just mischievous but is very friendly and likes to play fun jokes. Well - I think the plan has backfired as Bean is scared of Larry now - and does not want him to come back. I wrote him a note - so he will go visit other kids.....sometimes the best plans to not turn out...I bet by tomorrow she has changed her mind again. Oh well - it was fun while it lasted.

Clean Living

So - today marks day one of our home being on the market. I am seriously considering eating off of paper plates for the next several weeks - LOL! The day started with Bean screaming out - "Mom - come here right now." I arrive to a big ole pile of dog throw-up. Thank goodness it was on the laminate floors so it was easy clean up. I give you the picture Bean drew to forever document the moment. Awesome!

Dear Blog...

I am so sorry you have been neglected these past few weeks....
You see the packing and the home improvement projects have been a huge time suckage. The bathroom floor replacement project was estimated by my dear husband to take 3 hours....about 10 hours later he was finished. He did do an awesome job though and I am very proud of my handy man. Seems like all our little projects are taking a lot longer than we anticipated. I want to share pictures and stories and such...but until I can get everything in order over here...I may be sporadic at best. Here is to more regularly blogging in the very near future....Thanks for reading.

Swagbucks

I want to tell you all about something fun and easy when you search online. Its called swagbucks. Basically anytime you need to search the web (which let's face it - that is daily) you log onto swagbucks and can earn swag bucks for searching. Now you won't earn points every time you search...but you will earn them - trust me. Swagbucks uses search results from both Google and Ask - so the results are fairly comprehensive. I have been swagging for about 3 weeks...to date I have earned 48 swag bucks . Guess What - you can redeem the points for cool stuff. A $5 Amazon gift card is 45 swagbucks, Starbucks if 50 swag bucks right not. So please if you do think this is cool and want to sign up - use me as your referral...I get referral credit - which means more swagbucks for me! Woot Woot! Linky is below!

Wordless Wednesday

The motherload of veggies...

Those carrots were huge. This picture does not do them justice. My parents went to a farmers market and divided at least 30 pounds of carrots to my siblings and me. It took like 90 minutes to wash and peel all those carrots. They were super sweet and crunchy. Thanks Mom and Dad! P.S. the lovely green behind the carrots is Kale. Kale Rocks - you should try it sometime! Even Bean will eat Kale.
