Camo Hooded Towel

I currently have a Camo Hooded Towel in inventory that can be purchased today and custom monogrammed with the future owner's name!!!  It looks just like this one but without the name!!

Lately

Oh there's lots going around this homestead lately...I've started making baby food for Munchkin #3.  It has been fairly easier to get that started than I anticipated!  I have also started back to working out just a little every week along with working in the yard on the pretty days.  This week I have started a compost pile for our garden that we are planning this year...that has already started taking some planning!  We are trying to figure our the best place to put it! 

I have also done a little grocery shopping...I'm not sticking to budget by all means but I am at roughly $50/week right now.  It has actually been mostly stocking up on some sale items so that should make other weeks less than the budget! 

Other than that I have been really busy with the munchkins and "working" on sewing and figuring out the best and most effecient schedule for this household!

PS...I'm open to suggestions for this work at home scheduling!!  Its hard than one thinks with 3 munchkins!

Later Peeps!!

New for 2012!!

Okay so this week I started a strict grocery budget.  I am shooting for $2080 for the WHOLE year!!  Thats roughly $40 per week, now this is going to take some EXTREME discipline...  I have gotten several things stockpiled in the last few months (like laundry detergent, shampoo, green beans and chili!) This goal is strictly for FOOD only!  I am attempting this because we do not get many food coupons out here in West Texas AND our whopping 2 grocery store here do not participate in very good sales (its practically a monopoly with United around here)  I plan on using Amazon.com too when possible.  I will do my best to update you with my journey.

Tuesday I got a jumpstart and spent $47.91 at United.  I did get 2 bags of Lays and 1 Tostitos for $2 each (this is a rule at our house--we don't buy chips unless they are $2.50 or less)  and I had a coupon for $1 off of milk.  So I saved some but not a whole lot.  I will buy several bags of chips and put the extras in the freezer.  Oh and the hubs' tuna is regularly $1.09/can and it was on sale for $.83, so I grabbed several!  I'm hoping I can stay on track between coupons and sales.  In doing this kind of shopping I'm also hoping that I can improve on my meal planning skills!!

Wish me luck Peeps!!
