Waisting money with coupons.

            I am jumping on my Soap box here. I have couponed before but never saved that much, recently I started back due the the upcoming Holidays, and now I know why I stopped, Between printer ink, news papers & time spent on coupon matching I am losing more $$ and Quality time... is it all really worth it?
Yes am wasting time blogging about this but my LO is taking a nap and older ones are in school. I happily saved over 60 bucks at a Toys r Us recently and got tons of free items with coupons but after trying to find the best prices and printing coupons out I gave me more of a headache. I guess if I lived near a retail store that had good couponing policies I would save more. But the gas waste isn't worth my trip to use a one day only coupon or etc. I also feel I end up buying things I don't really need or use, my prior rule was if the store brand was cheaper then the item after coupon then I don't need it. But trying to buy 25$ in items just to get a free item or RR is starting to look like a waste and don't get me started on our local paper, it is $2.50 on Sundays and has jack crap in it. But I am going to keep it up for a month and try to only print coupons I will use I will post it all at the end of the month. I really do not see how the coupon bloggers have time for it all. A big Thank you to them. Whenever my days get long enough to do the dishes,wash laundry, take care of my Lo and the other 1,000 things I have to do in a day ,I will open up to trying to save more.

Too much for a title!

Wow this has been such a busy month! We have a ton of pictures to put up and we still have to do the pumpkin patch, fall festival, parade and Halloween! We never had a big birthday party for the kids but we went to Chuck E. Cheese the night of Pace's birthday and a big cake on Alyssas.

Jude is 7 months old today he is trying to crawl but hasn't quite mastered it yet. He is eating 4 oz of baby food a day 2 oz at a time he seems to like squash but didn't like bananas much at all he kept making a ugly face like it was too sweet.

I am not sure we are even ready for Halloween yet, I made the girls costumes but I don't know what to do about Jude he will probably be in a stroller asleep on Halloween night.

Blah Blah Blog!

Well looks like I have been slacking on the blog post, heck slacking on everything around here latley, not sure way but I just don't wanna. There are so many things I want and need to do, umm like this blog... but have to run maybe later?...

October,6month check up and pumpkins!

Yay it officially feels like fall, well winter for the past few days. September 25th Jude turned 6 months old. He weighed 16lbs and ... oz(going to look that one up). His check up went well. He is eatting jar foods now and seems to really like squash. Yesterday me and Lily carved her little pumpkin she said it was the grossest thing she had ever seen! I can not find my camera but I took some pictures from my phone. Gosh I love October with the fall, fairs, birthdays and Halloween! Speaking of Halloween the girls are going to be a lady bug and a bee, not sure about the boys yet. Here are a few pictures from this weekend and Jude with the squash.

How the heck!

I just want to know how do some of these moms do it? I really want to ask the Duggar mom when she has time to make them babies? I can barely get normal sleep after I get my lolli pop kids in bed! Much less breastfeed, (not saying anything bad about bfing, it is just hard work when you have a ton of little eyes around you) home school, sew,cook,clean and spend quality time with the hubs. I know I have missed several meals and nights of sleep. I wish I knew how a normal s@hm does it without the help of 100 people. That's it for now time to gut some pumpkins!
