Gratituesday: Awesome Family
What are you grateful for today? I am so very grateful and blessed to have an awesome husband and 3 wonderful and healthy kids. My husband works very hard to provide for us, and then willingly jumps in to help where ever he can at home as well. My children are awesome bundles of love and joy (most of the time, lol), but I wouldn't trade them for anything in this world. They are the reason we do what we do each day. I'm so grateful for their unique personalities and persistence. I know that they will excel and go far in life. I could not be more pleased with my family and our life.

Chocolate Covered Macadamia Nuts @ Walgreens!
Ok, I must admit that these are not part of my diet plan, but the deal was too good to pass up! They will come in handy for treats, cookies and other special events. I sort of got in on this deal on the last day as I wasn't able to find a Walgreens near my home with these in stock. Finally, I found a store with 12 in stock, and I'm guilty of taking them all. After the Easysaver coupon and sale these came out to .50/per bag. Not too shabby for something that normally runs $4.79 per bag! Here's the math:
Total Before Coupons: $59.70
Total Money Spent: $8.22
Total Saved: $51.48 (86.2%)

Much better than even shopping for the same items at Dollar Tree and much better quality. Head on over to Oriental Trading and see what you can find a good deal on!

3 Kroger Trips
These were 3 of my Kroger trips from last week. There weren't a lot of items on sale, but the ones I was able to stock up on were free! These were good examples of waiting for a sale. These items in particular go on sale about once every 4-6 weeks. so I know when I get my hands on coupons for these to hold on to them! They will become VERY valuable! The math below is for all 3 trips together.
Total Before Coupons: $111.23
Total Money Spent: $8.68
Total Money Spent: $8.68
Total Saved: $102.55 (92.2%)
Kmart Doubles
I went to Kmart for doubles a couple of weeks ago and I'm just now posting it. I'm sorry! Bad blogging mommy! :) I didn't do all that great simply because my Kmart is now only a Big K versus a Super K. I have so many HBA items already that we really don't need more, so I am usually only interested in the food deals. Since they became a Big K their food selection is very small, but I did manage to score a few deals! Forgive me, I've lost my receipt on this one, but we got everything including the Christmas items for next year for less than $20.

Is he your only child?
Um… No. I actually got asked this question yesterday at the surgery center where my son had his tonsils and adenoids removed. This was middle son, age 3 ½. I’ve been asked this question before with every one of my children, but my question is why? Is it because I am a ferocious advocator for my children, because I ask a million questions before I allow various medical procedures to be done, because I get teary eyed watching them be taken off to said medical procedures, because I play with them, tell them I love them, hug them- what is it? What constitutes the behavior of an “only child mother?” I used to get really offended when someone asked this question. My assumption was that they were calling me over protective and a pain in the you know what because I had asked one too many questions or shown too much concern over something. Now, I just find it sad. Shouldn’t all children be treated like “only children?” Shouldn’t all children be treated with the same love, care and concern as an only child?
Now, I’ll be the first one to tell you that life as a mother to 3 children is no picnic. That’s an understatement really. There are times when I feel like running away. Just kidding! But there are days that get the best of me. That still doesn’t mean I love my children any less, and I certainly don’t love any one of them anymore than I love others. But I will always treat each of them as if they were my only child. I hope you do too.
