Seeing Red

The pretty plants that we planted on May day are in full bloom, and the garden is bursting with the color Red.

The Red Hibiscus bush has new red blooms everyday.

The red Gerbera Daisy is in full bloom too.

Finally this week the Red Lillies bloomed, and they are gorgeous.

I also adore the star-shaped dark red bloom on this little Lily.

It’s Not Extreme, but a Little More Organized

I made a little impromptu trip to the store, we needed a new quilt for our bed, and I was after a binder for my coupons. I was hoping to find Baseball card holders, but they were nowhere to be found. I did find Business card holders, and that got me started on my organizing.

It isn’t complete, but it’s a good start. I picked up a 1 1/2 inch binder with pockets, and a pack of binder clips too. I clipped a notepad to the binder for quick notes, and shopping list add-on’s too. The pockets also hold any coupons that are too big to fit into the business card pockets. I think I might use the pocket on the left to hold local sales ads, and rebate offers too.

I would like to organize the coupons a bit further, and separate them into categories, but I’m happy with the way the binder is looking so far.

The coupons look nice and neat to my eye, and I really hope a little organization helps my grocery budget.

Thanks again to everyone for your wonderful suggestions when it comes to coupon organization. I really appreciate all of the fantastic tips.

Uh-Oh!

One of Agnes’s favorite games is to run in another room, do something destructive, and then run to mommy saying “uh-oh”. She also attempts to look cute and innocent, and in no way destructive, or responsible for the giant mess she made.

I’m not buying it kiddo, I know it was you…

Yep, it’s been a day full of cleaning, and re-cleaning thanks to a feisty toddler.

Back In The Game

0022

I’ve been out of the Coupon Game long enough, and I’m getting back in. I took the kiddos out this morning to grab some Sunday papers, and I’m looking for some great grocery deals.

I’m looking for a better way to store my coupons though… I have a small coupon holder that I have already filled, and I’m thinking of switching to a binder. What do you recommend? How do you like to store your coupons?

One Left To Go

Agnes has been teething for 14 months, yes you read that right 14 months. Thankfully she has just one tooth left to go. I hope it comes in soon, I’m in need of a night of restful sleep.
