What I am loving this week...

1. Getting Free Stuff

This is what a weeks worth of free stuff I get in the mail looks like. Yup I got all of that just by signing up for it online. Dog treats, a whole package of samples from P&G including many coupons, a box of apple cider k-cups, diaper and wipes sample, Better Homes and Gardens and Babytalk Magazines, a free pair of undies from Victoria's Secret (although there is not one nearby so I mailed the coupon to Danielle) and a bunch of high value coupons from Pampers. I contacted them because there was not a coupon booklet in the package of diapers I bought like promised and they sent me more than I probably would have received otherwise. I also got some free things from Target and Safeway just by matching coupons with in-store deals.

2. Brothers teaching each other things.

Dylan was putting batteries into the controller for his new awesome remote controlled helicopter and Lincoln loved being there to help with the whole process. The boys also loved hanging out a Grandma's house and playing soccer with Uncle Josh.

3. Turkey Sandwiches

I bought all of the ingredients for a perfect sandwich and have had it for four days in a row now. All of you pregnancy nazis can relax because I do heat my meat to steaming before assembling. Included delicious parts are, two pieces whole wheat bread, cream cheese, sprouts, thinly sliced turkey meat, swiss cheese, spinach leaves, and slice avocado. I ran out of avocado after the second day but it still tastes great, just not completely amazing like the first two.

4. Getting Ready for Warner

I have not been great at taking pictures of my pregnancy this time around (I wonder if the toddler also pictured had any thing to do with it) but I'm starting to get to the point where braxton hicks are becoming a normal part of my day and bending down 500 times a day is taking a toll so I figure I should get pictures before things get too out of control. I had to go out and actually buy new underwear so I must be getting bigger than last time. At 33 1/2 weeks the big day is really getting close, who knew it would happen so fast?

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

We love chicken in our house because it is yummy, very versatile and somewhat affordable. It is also Shane's meat of choice for his "tone and sculpt" plan. (ok so I just love how special he is and really I am not making fun of him) I generally try to find boneless, skinless chicken for less than $2 a pound. These days it is getting increasingly difficult, even looking into Zycon or Costco so when I found some for $2.30/lb I got all the had... two packages. I frozen one because Shane will BBQ that for lunches on the weekend. With the other package, which I think was about 3.5 pounds or 5/6 breasts, I was able to look on the monthly menu plan and figure out what chicken type dinners I had coming up and chop from there. Since the breasts are usually very thick I slice them in half, like a top and bottom part. Then I either chopped up into bite sized pieces or froze whole. For less than $9 in chicken I made four meals that will serve at least two adults and two children. ...

To Infinity and Beyond

Well beyond five years that is. February 22 marks our first date and somehow Shane even remembered that. Since I feel like a crumb-bum of a wife lately I set up a special little thing to show him how much these last five years have actually meant to me. (I get that it isn't our wedding anniversary but any day can be special so I wanted to make this special too) I wrote him a little love letter and put out five things that are meaningful in our relationship together, quite the mishmash if you ask me, but it works. In no particular order: 1. Motley Crue - We we to our first concert together over the summer to see Shane's favorite band and I got to get my 80's on while he got to relive the glory days. 2. The Spiderwick Chronicles - We went to see this movie with our nephews for our first official date. I think it's sweet that now the boys watch it all the time. 3. Coffee - We have shared many conversations, hours, and events all while drinking coffee. We both love it ...

Crafty Christmas Inexpensive Gifts

I was going to say cheap gifts... but hopefully the receiver of the gift doesn't think so, so inexpensive to me just means that the person giving would rather spend time on thought rather than money, right? So here are just a few of the things I have been up to lately... Still have a few more ideas to finish but I am getting close and with only 18 days left, it's about time! Iron on transfers. I love them. They are so fun! And I love personalizing things. So my previous experiences haven't been 100% great with transfers but hey I'm not selling my stuff to the public so I think it's ok. I used them to make two tote bags (luckily the receiver of the aunt bag below is not my sister Jackie... so don't get your hopes up!) a super hero cape and a baby gift. If you search printable transfers or iron-ons there are tons of cute ideas everywhere. Next time I buy transfer paper I am getting clear though because the white didn't work as great as I had hoped but sti...
