I’m super excited to watch Jon and Kate + Eight tonight! I can’t wait to see everybody on vacation, and the little ones skiing. I might have to check out The Secret Life of a Soccer Mom as well, it looks pretty interesting.
What are you watching this evening?

One Injured Nico
I highly doubt anyone will ever say “nico is one graceful gal”, just ask my hubby. So yesterday I was making a trip into the living room, and I tripped over my cat which sent my left foot into the corner of this adorable, but architecturally pointless part of the living room doorway, leaving me with a gigantic bruise (its a good 2 1/2 inches at the moment), and Thade laughing so hard he almost fell out of his seat. If you watch Make Me a Supermodel and you’ve seen Perry’s broken foot, that is what mine looks like. Lovely 😉
I don’t think that anything is broken, but shoes and my cat aren’t my friend at the moment.
Around my birthday I received a Bissell Perfect Sweep Turbo from my Mom, and it is one awesome cleaning machine! I have had so much fun cleaning up around the house, and the Perfect Sweep Turbo can clean Carpet and Hardwood floors beautifully! It is also very quiet, I can clean while Dylan is playing in his Bouncer, and it doesn’t bother him a bit. You can also clean while talking on the phone too, just in case you are in to that 😉
One evening after dinner, we were enjoying some tasty Chocolate Bundt Cake, and I was sweeping up in the Dining Room. My hubby was impressed at just how quiet the Sweeper was, and I was telling him just how easy it was to clean with it. Just then Thade proudly stated “Mom, I made more crumbs for you to clean!” James and I both fell apart laughing at the Chocolate Cake mess that Thade had made in the Living Room, it was just too funny. He was so proud that he had another cleaning task for Mom. The Bissell Perfect Sweep cleaned up all of the Cake crumbs beautifully, and I went on ahead and swept up the rest of the living room while I was at it.
Thanks again for the great sweeper Mom (Nana)! It has truly changed my cleaning up routine, and it has come in pretty handy with all the little mess makers in my house 😉
My journey began as I was looking over my grocery budget for the month, and I wondered if there was any way that I could save just a little more. I love to shop out of town at Dillons and Aldi, but by the time that I have invested my gas money ($3.15 a gallon), and my time on the road, I don’t know if I am seeing enough profit.
Locally we are limited to Five stores to make the grocery dollar stretch. We have the Nationwide chain stores: Walgreens, Dollar General, and Wal-Mart Super-center. We also have two grocery stores that are commonly found in the Midwest: Wood’s and IGA. Before the Super-center arrived I swore off ever shopping at the local grocery stores, they were just too expensive. I would drive once a week, 40 minutes round trip to the nearest Super-center to save those precious grocery dollars. I’m now wondering if the Grocery Store prices have dropped now that there is a little more competition in town.
I’m picking Fifteen items that are always on my shopping list, and I’ll be visiting each store to compare the prices, and to find the best deal in town. I’ll also be reviewing each of the stores and listing what I liked, and what I didn’t like at each of the stores.
Here is my list of what I’ll be shopping for:
I’m hoping to find a better way to shop and save locally… Stay tuned for the savings 😉
It is a new day, and my migraine is gone 🙂 The sun is shining, and there are adorable yellow Crocus Flowers blooming in the front yard. It is going to get up to 74 degrees today, but then drop off to 33 degrees, yuck. That means there is a pretty good chance of some severe weather today. I think I’ll stay close to home this afternoon.
I did spot a few good deals at Walgreens on sale from 3/2-3/8, I’ll have to go and shop when the better weather returns. Here is what is on my list:
Happy shopping and saving everybody 🙂
