Grocery Savings!

http://azdealsbyallison.blogspot.com/

We are all trying to save money in areas we can. I found this Blog site and really enjoy Allison's great efforts in sharing this information with others. And it's FREE! :)

Another idea is going on the SRP's time wise energy plan. I just enrolled, so I will update you next month when I recieve my bill if it is worth it. Don't forget that the grocery stores give you coupns to their gas pumps if you spend 'X' amount of dollars. I think Albertson's gives the best savings as far as that goes. But, then again, Fry's is usually cheaper in groceries. Just learn to play the game! :) What ever works best for you.

Happy Birthday MOM!!

Okay! I finally got my StillMoms Blog up and going.... This is to get things rolling. As some of you already know I am working on putting an actual web Site together. The blog is just that... a blog to get started. My web site will be a great hit and I will keep you posted. So share your resources, tips, and ideas! http://stillmom.blogspot.com/

Do you think "TOO" much?

I catch myself thinking about little projects that lead into big ideas that lead into different subjects that throw me way of course of what I started thinking about... are you with me? Like going to the store for one thing and coming out with a cart full!! I am guilty of that "BIG" time!
Well, I caught myself thinking like that today and decided to just get out of the house with the kids. We went to Long John Silver's for lunch (I forgot how greasy that place is), then we went to Toys R' Us and bought some fun family games.... including checkers, and we went home and played games for 3 hours and swam for an hour. We had such a fun filled quality time day!!
We ended the evening going over to my moms and hanging out while I permed her hair.(Yes , perms still exists.) :0)

So, if you think "TOO" much, get out and get busy!!! LOL

Pirate's Booty

Okay, I found a picture of my new favorite snack! You have to try this if you haven't already. You're in for a cheesey treat!! (there's caramel too.)

San Diego...Girl...Fun!!!!!!!!!

I went with my husbands Aunt and her friend to San Diego for a little getaway....
My Aunt didn't want to be alone while her friend was meeting up with a guy that she had been dating, so I tagged along.
We had a great time! A break from everything was nice. These pictures are from Mission Bay. I was bad at taking pictures of everything, so all you get is Mission Bay. We also went shopping in La Jolla and ate at little sandwich shops. We got pedicures and watched chick flicks at the hotel. My aunt introduced me to "Pirate Booty", a popcorn snack, it is a new snack on my favorites list. Yummmmmmmmmm!!!!! (She gets it at Super Target by the chips.) (or Trader Joes) We also shopped at the outlet mall on our way out of San Diego near Alpine. We had a great time!!



The waves were great for the surfers....

There was a loud and crazy concert going on....


I was trying to get this SeaGull in closer range...oh well..
The sand felt nice to walk on, I forget how soft it really is, not like our park sand.

Memorial Day Fun!!!

For Memorial Day we went to Tempe Town Lake and played at the water park with some friends.

Kayla's little man, Xander! He truly loves water and didn't even flinch at the coldness.

It was a lot of fun and we all went home with red shoulders even though we were sun blocked!

I've been Tagged!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been tagged by Diane! :)

The Rules:

• 1. Each player starts with 8 random facts/habits about themselves.
• 2. People that are tagged write a blog post about their own 8 random things and post these rules.
• 3. At the end of your post tag 8 people and include their names.Don't forget to leave them a comment on their blog to tell them they've been tagged, and to comment back and read your blog for the whole story.

1. I love sports! Lately I haven't been involved myself, but I use to play co-ed softball and it would boost my ego when I was just visiting and wanting to play and the teams would argue which team I would be on. Now, I love supporting my boys in baseball and football. And my daughter in tennis.
2. This Mother's Day I received a lot of notes and letters from children and the main point from them was "Mom, you rock!" So, I guess I am a rockin mom!
3. Although I have some weight to lose, I love working out! I always challenge my 11 year old son with "suicide crunches". That is where you count 1, 1-2, 1-2-3, 1-2-3-4, ....all the way to 20. We just started doing that.
4. My favorite thing to do for relaxing...with a friend or by myself, is getting a gelato and eating it while I get a pedicure.
5. I love dating my husband! It's been 12 1/2 years!!
6. I love to shop! I wouldn't know what to do if Ebay shut down!
7. I have learned so many things through some tough experiences.... So many blessings have sprouted from them. For example, losing our home of 8 years to a fire, we are happier than ever now, in our new home and community. And, the loss of my second child, I feel that I have a greater bond with my children because they are truly gifts from above. Also, I've learned that I don't cry during tragic events, rather, I breakdown when I have a moment to myself and then thank my Heavenly Father for his comfort. I know I have a great family and friends around me that support me, so I move on...................
8. I love that every day I can choose the mood of my day! ( even when my two young tornadoes hit! )( I am learning to move past the angry moments. Yes, I am human and still get PMS moments) :) I love hanging out with great friends at the park and letting our children play.(relief!!) I would do that everyday!!!!!!

Now, I Tag!!! The eight lucky people are: Sandi, Shawnie, Natalie M., Kayla, Kenyon, Libby, Echelle, and Lindsey
