My Check Up Stats (I'm 7 3/4 months)

We had Warren's checkup today. We originally had it scheduled for yesterday morning but when we went to leave the car wouldn't start, the battery was dead. I called to let them know that we would be late. One of our home teachers, Jake, came over and helped to jump start the Jeep. By the time we got there we were about 30 min. late and they said that we would have to take a no show fee. We explained again what had happened and the receptionist said she would talk to the Dr. they usually give you one freebie.
We are grateful that we found out about the battery sooner than later because Kyle would have been late to his class. Thank you Jake for your help!
Warren had a great time at the Drs. he was very talkative and wiggly. He weighed in at 16 lb. 14 oz. and is 26 in. tall. He is getting pretty close to crawling. As of now he scoots backwards and turns in circles. He loves jumping and standing. We are loving him and grateful to have him in our home.

Some of My favorite places to find out how to save /spend money

Freebies 2 Deals
You should sign up and get emails to find out how to get things for free, build up your food storage, etc... Malea is great! She posts multiple times a day.

Savvy Shopper
This was my first introduction to couponing. Last year Amy "The Savvy Shopper" came and spoke to our ward to teach us about how to save money. It was awesome! Before getting the paper I would go and use the site to help me shop the sales. The sales are even better now with coupons. I am very grateful for her and what she taught us that night. Thank you AMY!!! Thank you Kyle for chasing down the Boys and Girls Club who started us on our subscription and to my Mom and Dad for the extra paper and to the Daily Herald who we subscribe from(awesome customer service too)

If you are interested Alicia another Savvy Shopper is coming to our church to present about Savvy Shopping it is the 27th of January at 7:00 if you are interested please contact me and let me know.


and others too

then there are the couponing websites a plenty, but by using these other websites they have links to them and maybe do your own search too. Everyone wants you to be their stuff coupons are extra incentives to do so along with rebates etc.. find a good sale make money off the rebate it is great!

Deal of the my day... 2 of them $0.94 at Albertsons (5 boxes of cereal, 8 yo plus yogurts, 2 skippy pb, 4 starkist tuna) + $5.00 to use on my next shopping trip and $5.00 in box tops for Rees Elementary

Steal 2 staples 2 reams of paper and a binder which will end up costing $2 no coupons for this one though
