Got to the store (finally)

Today I decided to give it a try and take both of the boys grocery shopping. We had a few errands to run: first off to the post office, and then to gas up the car ($3.49 ouch), and then to the store. I made sure that both boys were fed, rested, and ready to shop. It actually went pretty well, Thade was a big help, and Dylan was happy just hanging out. I forgot a few things on my list, I ran out of room in the cart, and the trunk of my car too. I have two strollers in the trunk, so its tricky getting groceries in there.

I may attempt Walgreen’s this week too. I’ll have to carry Dylan in a carrier though, the carts are a little small. Lets see if I get brave enough to try that one. I’ll keep you posted.

Putting away the stockpile

First off I have to say my mom totally rocks!!! She visited us on Saturday, and brought a trunk-load of diapers too. She is too great, and I really appreciate all of those diapers. I’m a lucky girl, and my boys are lucky to have such an amazing Nana.

So today I’m putting away all of the stockpile items. Here is what I got:

*3 12 packs of Dr Pepper
*3 cases of Pull-Ups
*2 Jumbo packs of Target Training Pants
*1 Jumbo pack of size 2 diapers
*1 case of Baby Wipes
*All Free and Clear small and mighty detergent
*24 silicone cupcake cups

She also brought lots of goodies for me too. I really appreciated all of the help with the boys, and all of the much needed items for my stockpile.

Back to Baking

Ever since we welcomed baby number two I’ve been playing catch up all around the house. Today I got ambitious and decided to bake some vanilla cupcakes, Thade decided to help too. He helped stir, and line the cupcake tin. The cupcakes turned out great, and I was happy that I remembered how to use the oven.

I’m going to get the pantry stocked back up with baking supplies for cookies and cakes. My mom brought me silicone cupcake cups, and they were so fun to cook with. I can’t wait to bake again.

Typing one handed

This might take awhile, Dylan has the hiccups and is refusing to sit in his bouncy chair. So I’m trying to type while keeping him entertained. I have a pretty small list of things to get done today, So I’m going to try and take it easy. Last night was a really long night, and I’m so sleepy today.

I made it to Walgreen’s

Thanks to my awesome hubby we made it to Walgreen’s today, and I saved HUGE! I’ll list the items that I saved the most on:

*3 12 pack Pepsi products
*2 Puffs Tissues
*3 Walgreen’s Free and Clear Laundry Detergent
*2 Walgreen’s Aluminum Foil
*2 Walgreen’s Paper Towels
*Walgreen’s Paper Plates
*Walgreen’s Toilet Paper 4 ct

All of these items cost me just $23.76, if I had bought them at my local store I would have spent $ 42.16, that is a savings of $18.44! I’m so happy about my savings. The trip to Walgreen’s was definitely worth the cost of gas.
