I think today might be the last day, but I just had to share… 

If you have a Jewel-Osco / Albetsons near you, don’t miss the sale this week! They have General Mills Cereal, different granola bars, Pop Secret microwave popcorn, and Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks for $1 each when you buy in quantities of 10 - mix and match.

We made the hour drive to our Jewel yesterday and picked up sale items along with some basic needs. In front of the cereal in the little blinkie machine there were coupons for $.75 off two boxes of cereal so that made our cereal $.67 a box! We ended up with 106 items for $115! Our total savings $198! Yea! What a good trip! Give it a try and let us know how much you save!

Has spring arrived at your house yet?  The weather has been such a tease here!  One day we had 80 degrees, and now a couple days later it is freezing with a bit or snow.  My poor plants in the garden aren’t going to know what to think!    Opposed to planting the rest of my garden just yet.. I have decided to stay inside for a bit and get some spring cleaning done!   Yuck, I know not the most enjoyable task.  However, my friend Susanne, the Hillbilly Housewife, has put together a guide to make your spring cleaning quick, easy and maybe even enjoyable!   At least if you’re like me, you’ll enjoy the end results at least.  Head on over and check it out:

She walks you through cleaning your home room by room and she’s even included some great checklists to help you stay organized and on track.  Go take a peek and you’ll be done with your cleaning before you even know it!

 Debi just released her brand new book and I am so excited!  My copy is in the mail on the way to me, but I wanted to share right away about this great new resource.  She participated in an interview on the Cool Book Of The Day Blog that I encourage you to read.  Here is the link:  http://www.coolbookoftheday.com/lifestyle-fitness-program/  Be sure within the interview to check out her Charity/Pay It Forward program - it is really cool!

If you decide this is a book for you, you can pick it up on Amazon or order it from your local bookstore.  ENJOY!

Betty Crocker just sent me a link to this recipe, and it looks so good I just had to share!  ENJOY!

Hi there!  I apologize I haven’t kept this blog up to date.  I am pregnant and between that and the three kids I already have, I seem to have been zapped of all energy.  I did want to let you know that I have made some updates on the Dine Without Whine Blog that you can read if you’d like.  I hope to get this one up and going again as soon as morning sickness decides to give me a break!
