15 Months

*Can sing "ABC's" up to "E"

*New words this month include "Auntie", "Mindy" (Auntie's dog), "Help", and others I can't remember right now... I need to keep a notepad with me at all times so I don't forget everything she says/does!

*Can tell you that 1+1=2, even though she doesn't know what that means! (Do you think she might have a math teacher for a parent??)

*Says "Uh-Oh" all the time! Drops things on purpose, just so she can say it

*Is getting more and more steady every day when stepping off the sidewalk/getting on and off of front porch

*Is sleeping through the night, pretty much every night now

*Loves to play outside

*Constantly making a mess - If I had not been in the OR when she came out of my body, I might think such a "disorganized" child was not mine! :) I think she definitely got this trait from her daddy!

*Does not like to be contained to a shopping cart when we are at a store, not a good shopper

*Can identify "star" and "circle"

*Still nursing, usually anywhere from 4 to 6 times a day

*Says "thank you" when she is given something

And as for the Mommy......

*love, Love, LOVE being this little girl's Mommy!!!

Harris Teeter Triples

Ashley, James, & I went to Harris Teeter yesterday for my first ever super triples! I got a lot of great deals and quite a few things for free! No picture today, but here's the list of what I got...

2 boxes Martha White Yellow Corn Muffin Mix
3 bags Goldfish
2 boxes of Betty Crocker Mashed Potatoes
1 Lysol Toilet Bowl Cleaner
1 bottle Frank's Hot Sauce
2 boxes Beechnut Arrowroot Cookies
1 pouch Bumblebee Tuna
3 packs Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
1 box Hot Pocket Hotshots
1 box Seapak Popcorn Shrimp
2 tubs Breakstone Sour Cream
2 pints International Delight Creamer
2 pints Coffeemate Creamer
2 Lunchable Subs

My total before VIC savings and coupons was $96.42. VIC savings were $22.05, and my total coupons savings was $59.34, giving me a total OOP of $15.03!!! That's a savings of 84%.

If I take the chicken out of the mix, which was not bought with coupons, my total OOP was $6.11, making the total savings 94%.

Planning on going back again tomorrow, to hopefully get some more free stuff!

Things That Make Me Happy

Just wanted to share a few things with you that make me happy.....


Look carefully... up in the right hand corner.... mmmm.... Nutella. If you have not tried this, you definitely need to. Definitely.




And the "goofs, glitches, gotchas" from Consumer Reports magazine. This is always the first thing I flip to when we get the magazine in the mail. Very funny.
