A Day on the Couch

Thade is not feeling well today. He woke up this morning feeling yucky everywhere, and a hurt tummy too. We are going to be sticking pretty close to home today, with Thade resting on the couch. I hope that he feels better soon.

Dylan had a grumpy tummy last night. He kept mommy busy changing lots of diapers. He is doing much better today. I hope it is just a 24 hour bug that the boys have, and they will both be back to normal soon.

Whew! I had quite a shopping trip at Walgreens today, and I came home with some great deals. This month is Baby Care month and the EasySaver catalog had so many great offers, I took advantage of the sale and stocked up my supplies closet. I have enough household cleaners to get my place spotless, and enough baby wash to keep the boys spotless too 🙂

Grand Total before coupons $112.32, and with my coupons I only paid $80.28 ($88.48 with tax). This shopping trip I had $32.03 in coupons, and I also earned about $12.00 in rebates (Walgreens gives you and extra 10% on your rebate total if you place it on a gift card). I truly love shopping at Walgreens, and I can’t wait for our store to open here.

A Favorite Meal


I mixed up my menu a bit this week. I knew that my husband was going to have a very long day today. This is his second day this week that he has worked a 12 hour shift. I decided to make one of his favorite meals, Pot Roast with Potatoes and a Chocolate Bundt Cake. The whole house smelled yummy when he made it home today, and he was thrilled to get his favorite meal mid-week.

What are some of your family’s favorite meals?

Its always something around here…

Today the power kept flickering off and on in the dining room. I checked the fuse box, and everything seemed to be normal, but by 4:00 p.m. the power went off completely in the dining room. Everywhere else in the house has power, thank goodness. I’ll be calling an electrician tomorrow to see what the problem is, I hope it isn’t anything too serious.

Ice Cream Accomplished


One of my favorite things about Summer is that the Ice Cream Truck drives by our house everyday. Yesterday we were finally quick enough to catch up with that truck. Thade was so excited, and chose the Spongebob ice cream.

What are some of your favorite Summer treats?
