My Current Favs

As a new mom once again, I definitely have my daily go-to favs!  So today I thought I might share them with you!  Some things are handmade and some came from the store!

My Milkies
I have blogged about these before, and that was before I had used them.  And now that I have used them I do not know how I managed without the with the other girls.  I already have about 60 oz of breastmilk in the freezer and I have only pumped 3 times!  This is what my working mommas will be getting from me, because I remember how hard it was to get a supply in the freezer when I went back to school or work with my other 2 girls.

Swaddling Blanket
 
Burpy Bibs

I am in LOVE with these (Thanks G Fam!!)  These blankets have been perfect for this summer heat and I find myself making sure that I have one of these burp clothes clean at all times! (I am hoping get my own version figured out sometime soon.)

My Coupon Binder
I don't go shopping without it!! (now the pics wont upload! UGH!)

My Sewing Machine
It is my friend, my slave, my co-worker and many others...maybe it needs a name??  But first is it a he or a she....hummm??

My nursing covers
I have used these at the house, pickup or at a friends house...but I am still not comfortable enough to use in the middle of a restaurant or other places like some people.  Maybe one of these days, but we will see!

These are just a few of the things that I have been getting full use of in the past few weeks..we will see what else I can find to try or find new uses for in the future.

Later Peeps...

Couponing...my way...

Okay so the Extreme Couponing marathon was on yesterday...did any of you watch it or have you ever watched it??  Well I have watched the ENTIRE season!  And let me tell you it sure would be nice if I lived in another town or area.  Because where I live it is impossible to get the deals that these people get on the food portion of their grocery bills.  We do not have multiple grocery stores in the area...there are 2, Lowe's and United.  So there is no doubling plus we dont get very many food coupons in the inserts in our area.  Most of the food coupons that I get, I print of the internet.  These factors can make getting your entire grocery bill for $5 is next to impossible around here! BUT you can save on the more expensive things like beauty & health products at Target, CVS & Walgreens!
So the hubby and I have our own goal & plan with these couponing thing...we plan to save & stock up on laundry detergent, paper towels, shampoo, deaodrant & razors (just to name a few).  These are the things that make our grocery bill shoot through the roof.
Here are some of the things I stocked up on last week at Target:
Dove Ultimate & Men's Dove deodrant  reg 3.99 on sale 3.49, bought 2 of ea, stacked two /$1 off 1 Dove's Men deodrant Target coupon and buy 1 dove ultimate get 1 dove men's free (wished I would have had 2 of these but I didn't) AND received a $5 gift card.  Paid 8.47-$5 gift card=$3.47 or .87 each (78% savings);
Here is one at CVS:
Pampers diapers (reg 11.99) on sale for 8.99 w/$3 ECB, I used a CVS coupon that I had from something for $3 off Pampers plus $2 manufacturer's coupon...total paid $.99
Pampers Wipes 2.49-$2 when you buy Pampers diapers & wipes...total paid $.49

I have a couple of great blogs that I reference and they will also teach you to coupon the correct way along with showing you match-ups, deals & coupns.
krazycouponlady.com  &  fabulesslyfrugal.com

If you have any questions, I will be more than happy to help you all that I can!

Later Peeps & happy cpning!

Back into the groove...hopefully

It has been a very blessed last couple of weeks!!  I have gotten several orders in the last couple of weeks, which I am very thankful for!  In the last couple of months I have not been pushing the Boutique as I should be. But now that I am getting back into the groove of things I'm getting used to spending some daily-quality time with my machine!  I've also got to get back to couponing too!!

In the last 2 days I have made 12 Cool 'em Totes and worked on a couple of hooded towels.  I have the To-Do List started and I have started marking things off!!  Now lets hope that the list keeps growing!!

Meanwhile, I am mainly getting use to to being a SAHM, but this time its to a 4 1/2 year old, a 3 yr old and a newborn!  The last time I stayed at home (no school or work at all) was when Munchkin #1 was about 8 months until Munchkin #2 was 3 months old!  It is definitely quite different than I remember but so far so good! 

Well until later Peeps!
