Feeling a bit sad today

I am so thankful and grateful for the two beautiful children I have, but I have to say I am thinking of the one that is gone today. Today marks the second year anniversary of the last day I felt her move. July 1 ...in labor all day and she was born at 1ish am July 2nd.

We miss you baby girl.

Some recent pics

Here are some more recent pics. The "garden" is coming along fairly well. We have a few zucchinis and a teensy little watermelon. Natalya got a bit of a sunburn last week after 5 hours swimming at Nana's house, but it didn't seem to phase her.

Family reunion

Doug's family had a reunion this past weekend and we were able to go and see everyone. It was awesome to see everyone and Natalya has a lot of fun. The get-together was at a lake north of Atlanta and one of Doug's uncles had his boat and the kids got to go on the boat. Natalya was smiling so hard, I thought her cheeks were going to be sore the next day! And the look on Zachary's face was hysterical. His eyes were so wide I thought he'd have bugs flying in them. They both had a blast. Natalya said her favorite part of the trip was playing in the water with Lily and Jasmine. She liked talking all about how Jasmine was afraid and how Doug held her on his knee in the water so she could enjoy the water with Lily and Natalya.

Zachary was so tired - poor guy. While Kris was holding him, he fell asleep and she was kind enough to hold him for the entirety of his nap- over an hour and a half- with him sweating the whole time. (It's like holding a 20+ lb portable heater in your arms). Here's a few pics from the day.

Papa and his grandkids


Logan J and Zachary

What do you think this means?

Z was sitting on the changing table while I was wiping off his back (yuk. don't ask. you don't want to know), and he leaned over, put both hands on the front of my nursing tank and pulled it out as hard as he could...then proceeded to sick his head down my shirt.

HAHAHAHAHA!!!

I was laughing so hard I could hardly breathe.

Think he was hungry??

Zachary's communication

Well he has picked up two signs- sort of. ;)
He tries to sign "dog" every time he sees one of them and he LOVES the dogs. He gets so excited and he tries to touch his fingers together, but he doesn't quite do the sign. You can tell he is trying to though. He also tried to sign milk once or twice. He's on the way with his signing!

He does love to talk though. It goes something like this: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh AAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

or so. And He's LOUD!

I have been telling him to say "mama" and he will watch my mouth and open and close his mouth like he's saying it, but nothing comes out. :) Hey, it's a start!

I'm moving my deals.

I am moving my deals over to a new site. I can't keep up with both in one place- I'm getting a wee bit confused. Not to mention I am not posting as much about the kids and I know my family is a teensy bit annoyed.

So...head on over to I Prefer Publix for my deals! Check in often and I'll try to keep you posted of the best things in our area.

A few pictures

A pic from our "camping" trip. In the bed in the hotel. LOL.

He's not crawling yet, but he gets up on those knees and scoots...backwards. Which makes him really mad when he's trying to reach something in front of him.

How can you resist that smile??

(please excuse his serious case of mismatching. It was laundry day. ;) )

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!! I have no idea, but it cracks me up every time I look at this picture.

He LOVES his sister. And she is so proud of being a big sister.


She is endless entertainment to him. Here she is playing peek-a-boo out of her carseat box. He is cracking up hysterically.

Free Huggies Wipes

There may still be some people, like I was, who don't know about this- the $1/1 "Huggies Bath and Body product" coupons work on baby wipes.
The small soft packs of Huggies wipes are $1 at Kroger this week, so free after coupon! I've stocked up in the past, and now that I have more coupons... stocking up again. I use cloth wipes mostly, since they're cheaper, easier, better for baby's bottom and work a LOT better, but if I can get them free, disposable wipes are easier for going out of the house.

Heads-up Nashville shoppers

There's a coupon on page 6A of the Tennessean for $1/1 Tyson product. Random coupon in the first section. :)

My babies are growing up on me.

Zachary had a mini-appointment yesterday to get an IPV booster vaccine. He is 19.35lb. We moved him to the convertible carseat since infant carriers only go to 20lb. I put him in it for the first time tonight and I almost shed a tear for him growing up and getting so big! He is cutting tooth number two (bottom front right), already has the first one, the front bottom left. He enjoys chewing on me with his teeth. fun! :)

He is sitting up pretty well, when he begins to tip over, he'll shoot one arm out to right himself. He still does fall over a lot, but he's getting there.

We went "camping" this week. I call it our non-camping camping trip. LOL. The plan was to tent camp at Rock Island State Park, or, if it looked like bad weather, rent a cabin for the night. When we got there, we discovered that Bonnaroo was this week/end and the tent campsites were all booked up. There were two cabins, but they had a two-night minimum stay and we didn't want to pay two nights for one night of stay. So we went over to the river and played on the beach and N and Doug played in the water. Z did not care for the river. He loves the bath, but he sort of looked at me like, 'woman? what are you thinking putting me in here. Gross.' hehe. Natalya loved it though. I had to bribe her to get her to leave.

We were flying by the seat of our pants and didn't really want to drive home so we drove over to Cookevill for dinner and pulled up to the Days Inn and stayed there for the night. I whipped out my (free- Thanks Kelly!) Entertainment Book and found a 15% off discount at Days Inn, so we got the discount too. :) Natalya was really excited about staying in the hotel and wasn't too upset about not being able to stay in the tent. I sort of played it up- "Natalya! We're going to stay in a hotel! You can sleep on the floor in your sleeping bag! It'll be just like camping!" She bought it. :)

And thank goodness! Because it STORMED that night. I was so happy to not be in a tent.

We had a good trip and then when we got home Doug took N to gymnastics for her new class. She moved up to Mighty Mites from the Preschool class and she is having an absolute ball. She has learned all kinds of new things and is loving every second of it.

I'll try to post some pics in a bit. :)

Morningstar sale!

WOOOHOOO!!!

I am so excited! Morningstar is bogo next week at Publix and I found an EBay listing for some organic coupons- a variety of q's, including 10 $2/1 Morningstar coupons. Unfortunately the listing doesn't end until the end of next week, and once the listing ended, I paid, it shipped, etc, it would be too late for me to use them (unless I got a raincheck).
Well, I sent a message to the seller asking if it would be possible to end the auction early if I bought them at her asking price (no bids were placed yet). She said she actually had enough for another set, and if I wanted to buy them, she'd do a private auction for me. Her asking price? $2.50 for 10 Morningstar q's and 2 $2/1 7th Generation coupons. WOOOHOOO!!!! These are going for an insane amount on EBay! I figured she would ask at least $9 for them. I snatched them up and she put them in the mail today- she's in GA, so I will have these by early next week- plenty of time for the sale. And, with the Target q's, this will give me overage. ON MORNINGSTAR!!! WOOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Can you tell how thrilled I am??

I also told her about the deal and she is going to go to Publix to stock up herself (since she saved some q's for herself)

A few Kroger and Rite Aid Deals

I picked up some deals at Kroger and Rite Aid. Strangely, the Sure deodorant was $.30 more expensive at the RA that had them in stock, so I am going to attempt to exchange them at the cheap Rite Aid for the difference. We'll see if they let me.

Kroger
22 Propel Water 20oz ($.50/1 mq, $B4G1 BHecoupon =Free+)
2 Sobe Lifewater ($.50/1 BHecoupon, BOGO Kroger cat= $.25/ea)
2 Santa Cruz organic juice ($.75/1= $.75/ea)
3 Horizon single serve organic chocolate milk ($1/3 mq= $.66/ea)
1 Barbara Shredded oats cereal ($1/1mq= $1.09)
1 Tortilla scoops (no q= $2.75/ea)
3 cans black beans (no q= $.84/ea)
(also had $3.25 shortcuts cash come off the total)
Total oop: $8.22
Total savings: 41.76 (80% savings)

Total KrogerPlus savings for the year: $537.11 (not including coupons)

Rite Aid
4 Sure Men's deodorant
1 Propel Water
3 Colgate kids toothbrushes
2 Orajel kids Plaque rinse
2 Colgate adult toothbrushes
6 M&Ms singles
2 AirWick Freshmatic air fresheners
2 Contact solution w/free case
Total oop: $33.81 (hoping to get back $1 for Sure deo+tax for $32.81oop)
Total to receive in rebates: $37.98
Total oop after rebates: -$4.17 profit

Publix

I had to use up the rest of my rr's before they expired next week, since I wasn't sure if I'd be back down in Nashville before next Thursday, so I bought a few things I normally don't buy- like the BIG jug of maple syrup ($17.98) and two containers of spin/artichoke dip. Yum. I also had a great talk with the store manager at the Maryland Farms store. He is super nice and we talked about coupons and service and he said that his view is people are going to use coupons, he prefers they use them at HIS store, so he will pretty much let anything fly. Awesome. Then when I was leaving, he saw me coming up to the front, and told the cashier I was complimenting (she was on uscan) to open up a register so she could check me out. :) Some people think you should "fly under the radar" as a couponer, but I think that you should get to know the management and cashiers because then they know you and know you are trying to do things properly and not screw them over, so they are more likely to let you do things like (use two coupons that expired yesterday! ack!) the mgr saying it was ok to use my coupons that just expired. :)

Anyway...
Here's the deal:

2 Publix Spinach/Artichoke dip ($3/$10 flip)
6 Chex Mix ($1/2 Targetq and $.50/1 mq)
2 Cheerios ($1/1 mq)
2 Kashi honey Sunshine ($1.50/2 Whole Foods q and $1/2 mq)
6 Sundown Vitamins ($6/2 Publix q and $1/1 mq)
2 Clorox GreenWorks all-purpose cleaner ($1/1 Food Lion q and $.50/1 mq)
1 half gallon Stonyfield milk (no coupon- forgot it)
2lb Driscoll strawberries ($1/1 Target q)
1 12-pk Kleenex Cottonelle tp ($1/1 Target q and $1/1 mq)
1/4 seedless watermelon (no q)
1 dishwashing scrubber (my grandmother picked up and it accidentally ended up in my cart) (no q)
-$40 rr's
Total oop: $11.09 (total before tax was $4.33- would have been under a dollar without the dishwashing thingee)
Total savings: $109.86 (90%)

However... two of the vitamins I picked up were clearance priced at 3.07, but rang up at 3.99. So I got one for free and then got the difference back on the second. So I got back $5.38, making my total oop: $5.71, savings: $115.24 (95%)

I also forgot to give her my Stonyfield coupon, so that would have been another dollar off. Oh well. It doesn't expire until Dec, so I can still use it.

I am excited about the Morningstar on sale next week! If only I had coupons that didn't expire two days prior to the sale!!! Argh!!

Shame on you CVS

As was suspected- What a fiasco!! I am SO glad I was in Nashville yesterday to go to CVS. I just called and told them my ecb's didn't print and my card was credited (so the next time I go in, it will print the ecbs). She was very nice, but when I asked about the deal, she said that as of this morning, the pampers are still on sale for 8.99, but the ecb's will not print. (They changed the ad on the website to reflect this as well.)

Wow. talk about bad business! They should honor anyone who printed the ad but couldn't get into the store at the limit 3 as stated in the weekly ad. I live 45 minutes from the nearest CVS and it just happens I was in Nashville where the CVS is yesterday. If I had not been, I wasn't planning on being there until Friday when I normally shop. If I had gone in Friday with my printout and they said they would not honor it I would be very angry indeed because it says right on it "promotion 6-7 - 6-13".

Yes, there are some people who were able to get a whole bunch because there was no limit placed on the online ad. But this is not their fault. It is not our responsibility as consumers to "guess" what a company wants you to do. The online ad did not have a limit. The in-store ad said "$8.99 limit 3" with no mention of bucks. What did they intend? Who knows. I suspect the intent was a limit 3 at that price with the bucks, but at this point, there's no telling.

This is the fault of CVS for poor planning. You CANNOT advertise a deal that good and not expect people to come in for it. If their computer system was not set up properly, it is entirely their fault.

You cannot blame people for taking advantage of a good deal. If they had set it up in the system properly with a "limit 3" or a "limit one" or whatnot, then people couldn't have gotten more than the limit.

You cannot blame people for getting items they need at a good deal if the store is incompetent.

CVS is at fault here. Plain and simple. And now they are just practicing poor business by pulling the ad and expecting the whole thing to go away.

CVS and Publix

I tried the pampers deal at CVS and nope- not printing. The first CVS gave me a hard time and said there's "No way we can print ecb's if it's not working". Bahooey. I know you can force them. I finally got the mgr to agree to give me $5 coupon on my next purchase, since I was using them right away, but he said I could only do one because the limit was one. (although he couldn't find that written anywhere to prove that point. He made it up. nice. this is the CVS I don't like).
So I went to the GOOD CVS and the mgr there forced the ecb's on three packs for me. :) I will be calling Customer Service tomorrow (along with everyone else! They're going to be inundated!!) to get my $10ecb for the two packs I didn't get them on.
Both CVS stores were aware of the deal and the problem with them not printing.

Here's what I got
CVS
6 packs Pampers jumbo pack diapers
2 Fusion Razors
2 Bayer Contour Monitors
1 Birthday card (for Natalya's friend's b-day party)
2 Sunday papers (on sale for $1)
2 6-packs Kleenex Viva paper towels
Total oop: $24.79 (CS should give me $10 back in ecb's for Pampers deal problem)
ecb's left: $9 (plus $10 I should receive- makes them $19 left, so $5.79 oop after ecb's)

Publix
2 boxes Lansinoh Nursing Pads
1/4 Watermelon
1 Vlasic pickles
2 blocks Kraft Monterey jack cheese
3 Wholly Guacamole
1 Reddi-whip topping
1 Publix sub
Total oop: $4.38
Total savings: $42.77

Pampers are practically being given away at CVS this week!

Seems there's a hidden deal at CVS starting tomorrow. It is unkown if this deal will be working because it's sooooo good, it can't possibly be real!

At CVS's website, there's a clip-free coupon that says "Buy Pampers at 8.99, get $5ecb" ok, really?? What's the catch? Because if you use the $1 coupon in tomorrow's paper, that makes it $2.99 after ecb's and coupon. If you have a P&G book with the $2 coupon, that makes them $1.99 after coupon and ecb! Coupon on cvs.com shows all diapers and Easy-Ups, Jumbo packs.


I will be trying this deal tomorrow and we'll see what happens. I have three P&G books thanks to my mom and grandmother, so 9 $2/1 coupons. CVS may be seeing a lot of me tomorrow.

As other sites have recommended, if you are going to hit CVS to give this a go, I also recommend printing a copy of the clip-free coupon from the website HERE to show the cashier in case your ecbs don't print. The cashier should be able to force the ecbs.

Remember...rainchecks at CVS do not expire, and do print ecbs...they are our friends. Just in case. Just sayin'.

Kroger, Rite Aid, Walgreens

I went to Wags again hoping to find more Ecotrin since LAGirl sent me a bunch of coupons I hadn't been able to use yet, and almost everyone in my family is on aspirin therapy and takes baby aspirin one-a-day, but alas, no Ecotrin. (Also still looking for more meters- but no more of those either). I did get a few more insect repellants that had to be price-adjusted b/c the signage hadn't been updated from a sale price, so I got them at the sale price even though they were no longer on sale. Whee!
Then a few things from Kroger that were cheap/free and I can't find one receipt, but when I do, I'll add those to my totals. And Rite Aid for the cheap sunscreen b/c we go through a ton of that in the summer with our northern-European white skin. :)

Walgreens
4 Cutter Insect Repellant
Total oop: $.76 (tax only, items were free after coupons)
Total saved $8.00 (91% savings)

Rite Aid
8 Aveeno Sunscreen
Total oop: $46.54
*savings: $45.46
Rebates to receive: $30 cash plus two totes with coupons/samples
Total oop after rebates: $16.54 (after rebate makes these a little over $2/ea including tax- AWESOME!!)
Total savings after rebates: $75.46 (78%)

Kroger
Went to Kroger the first time and saw Organic Valley chocolate milk on clearance, and I knew I had a bunch of coupons at home, so I went home for the coupons and came back to get those and some a few other clearance items and some mac and cheese for my Mom. Wouldn't you know it, on the second trip I discovered the Eggland's eggs were marked down to $1.59/dozen. And I have coupons for those...at home! ugh. So I am hoping those will still be on sale tomorrow even though it's a new ad-week because we eat a TON of eggs and that's an awesome deal!
8 Organic Valley 1 liter chocolate milks
4 Santa Cruz lemonade/strawberry lemonade
4 Velveeta Shells and cheese
Total oop: $9.07
Total savings: $27.44 (67%)

Publix and CVS- my Nashville stops

I made 5 transactions to cut down on the amount of coupons per transaction. This helps keep the manager from having to stand there for an hour typing in his/her code to approve all the coupons over $50. It works pretty well. I got several "great jobs!" from the managers and the cashier said she loves when I go through her line because I always inspire her! Yay!

I have also discovered the loadable coupon love. You can load coupons to your Kroger card (or others where available) and they come off automatically at the checkout. These can be combined with paper coupons.
Shortcuts
Cellfire
P&G eSaver (for Proctor and Gamble products)
Bringing Hope (this one has some glitches right now b/c it's new, but there are some great coupons available when they get it working! LOL!- it's Kroger only)

and then UPromise. UPromise is a different kind of coupon site. You can load coupons to all sorts of cards, Kroger, CVS, Harris Teeter, even Publix has a special UPromise card specifically for this. Basically, you load the "coupons" and when you buy the product at any of the stores where you use a card, the money goes into a UPromise account set up for your child's college fund. Since this is basically free money from the manufacturer, ALWAYS TAKE FREE MONEY!!!

Well- hmmm. Babies' foreskin used to make cosmetics.

I for one, am glad my son's foreskin is where it belongs and not being used in some human body-part underground sale.

Check it out here: Babies' foreskin used to make cosmetics- Is this ethical?

I have also read that placentas are bought and sold on the black market for similar use. My three placentas are in my possession still, and will one day be buried under trees in my children's honor.

Free Root Beer Float at Sonic Wednesday only!

Head to Sonic tomorrow night for your free ten ounce Root Beer Float from 8pm-midnight! The sign at my local Sonic doesn't state that any purchase is needed- just free. I don't know if there's a one-per-car limit or anything, but I'll be going tomorrow night after N and Daddy are in bed as a treat to myself.

Zachary has a tooth!

It popped through yesterday while he was chewing on my finger- OUCH! I can feel it now when he chews on my fingers, but it's hard to see. And...it's keeping him awake, which is why we haven't gone to bed yet, and it's nearing 2:30 a.m.
Good thing Publix has had coffee bogo lately.

awww- a little tooth! Bottom left.

TN Home School Diploma Bill Becomes Law

Way to go Bredesen!!

Tenn. Home School Diploma Bill Becomes Law

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- A proposal to give home school diplomas the same weight as those given by public schools has been signed into law by Gov. Phil Bredesen.

The law requires all state and local governmental entities to recognize diplomas issued by home schools and church-related schools as having the same rights and privileges of diplomas issued by public school systems.

The law exempts home-schooled students from having to obtain an accredited diploma from local school directors or take the General Educational Development test.

Walgreens, Walgreens, Walgreens and Kroger

Had to go check in with my favorite Wags manager to see if my monitors were in, and then Doug called me and said that the Wags he was just at had two of them- so we headed up that direction.

I bought two Monitors at the Wags he saw, then my Wags had ten monitors for me. I asked them to try to get 15 more in. I have 17 coupons left. Surely I can find 17 more in the next week, even if I have to go to every Wags in Nashville. Ok. Maybe not. That's a lot of Wags. There's practically one on every corner. I also had to buy a birthday gift for a girl in N's soccer team, whose party she is going to on Saturday, so we used one of our $10rrs for that.

12 Bayer Contour Monitors
1 Sidewalk chalk kit
1 Disney Princess card game set
Total oop: $13.42 (mostly tax)
earned: $110 rr's

Kroger:
