Bookmarks are Here!

I have recently launched my new bookmarks at my etsy shop Hidden Treasure. They are pretty shepherd hook style bookmarks. Perfect as a gift or for yourself. The best part is they are only $5!($8 after shipping). I really love them and want to show off a few examples. Do you love them too? More are available in my shop.

Still love the grocery store!

I get so excited going to the grocery store. It is so fun for me! Right now I am just giddy about my shopping trip. I spent $14.60 on $38.32 worth of stuff. Name brand stuff. That is 62 percent off. It is so fun matching coupons with sales. Let me tell you what I got for under 15 dollars. I think everything I got was best name brand kind of stuff

2 bottles of bbq sauce
2 bottles of mayo
4 boxes of cereal
5 bags of frozen vegetables
1 dozen eggs
pack of sponges

nothing was store brand

Maybe this is boring to you, but for me, it is FUN! More money for other things like bills and fun stuff

Andrew's Latest Story

Andrew has been writing stories at school. He's a first grader. He recently brought home a school paper describing what he would do with 100 dollars. Here it is. I'm going to leave his spellings and everything the way he wrote it:

"If I had one hundred dollars I would get a gint tv. If I had one hundred dollers I woud get a school."

He also drew a couple cute pictures. I guess the reason we thought it was so funny was that Phil used to write similar papers when he was in school. Poor Andrew, I'm not going to tell him that giant tvs cost more than 100 dollars! I asked him about the school part, he said he made it up. I wonder if it has anything to do with my decision to homeschool next year. Hmmmmmm.....

Who is Coming?

Goodbye Crib, Hello Bed!

This week Christina has made the transition from crib to bed. It all started because I went to Toys R Us to return duplicate Christmas toys for her. I really wasn't sure what to get. So, as I was wandering around the store, I saw the toddler beds. I realized that I would only have to spend 9 dollars out of pocket to be able to get her the bed. The boys each got beds on their 2nd birthdays. Even though she hasn't figured out how to climb out the crib yet, I figured I should let her be a big girl since she is now a 2 year old.
She absolutely loves it! The first night it took her about 30 minutes to relax in it, but after that first night, she now goes to bed very well. Here are some cute pictures of this milestone.
She's a pretty good builder too!!

As soon as she sat in her bed, she folded her hands and said "Pray". It was so adorable!Chili didn't waste any time getting comfortable!
Just in case you thought we really made our daughter build her own bed, here is the real builder. I'm so proud, he even read the directions! My baby girl is growing up!!
