I do not believe that we have ever in the 6 years of our marriage had our cabinets and fridge/freezer overflowing the way that it is now. And its cost less than $200 to get it that way. I feel so blessed. I feel rich!!
PS ... Had to run into Target tonight to get Tylenol for DD2 (she spikes super high fevers when teething) and grabbed the last 4 jars of 51 cent applesauce! My girls love their sauce!

Fireproof My Marriage
WOW!! 5 posts in one day! I told you that Wednesdays were my blogging days!
Have you guys seen the previews for this new movie, Fireproof? I cannot wait til it comes out! I am so excited about another clean, wholesome, inspiring, convicting, the-list-could-go-on-and-on movie from the producers of Facing the Giants. You must go and visit this link and watch the trailer and when it comes out in theaters you should have reserved tickets ready to go! Kirk Cameron is such a great actor and an even better person. When he read the script he volunteered to do the movie for free! I've been in love with this guy since I was 5!! You know you remember the great Mike Seaver from Growing Pains. What a wonderful tool! There will be a widget for the movie at the bottom of my page until it comes out. Please check it out!

CVS Cashier is the NICEST I've Met
Tonight my friend Chara and I took some time away from the kiddies and husbands to do our couponing. We both made major deals at CVS (I'll save all the deals for Friday to post at The Centsible Sawyer) and our cashier made it a very pleasant experience.
THANKS STACY!!! YOU ROCK!
Stacy was impressed and asked us if we played "the game." We thought she was referring to the drug store game but she was actually referring to something else. I told her that we played a different kind of game and gave her links to both mine & Denise's blogs. Those are the only two addresses I know off the top of my head and she will be able to link to all you other money saving mommas from our blogs.
So thanks again Stacy, and good luck with couponing!

Wednesday Wonders
I changed the name of the game for myself because Wednesday seems to be the one day when I have time to blog. Therefore "wordless" does not work for me.
Without further ado ... a wonderous picture for Wednesday,my little pirate princess who doesn't do anything!
