Just thought I would give a little update on what's going on in our life. Don't mind the pic of Jentri in the bath with dinner on her face :) I hadn't quite gotten to washing it before I snapped a few pics ;) Anyway, Jentri is now 18 months old! My, how time flies. She is very healthy and ACTIVE and doing great! She is 75th percentile for height and 40th for weight. Poor little girl had shots today and boy did she cry. Well, she started to cry just when we walked in the same room as the nurse. She kept pointing to the door the whole time saying, "Out". Poor little thing. She is very busy and would spend everyday outside if I would let her...rain or shine! She has really been in a "daddy phase" lately. She loves me while we are at home all day. But as soon as Cody gets home I can't do anything for her. She makes Cody bath her, change her diapers (not too bad for me ha ha), and do EVERYTHING! When we go running at night if I even try to push the stroller she freaks out! She L.O.V.E.S her daddy! But when she gets tired she decideds I'm okay and needs her mom! She is starting to say a lot of words and is just so much fun! She is going through a little biting phase...which is a little difficult! We love her so much and are so thankful for such a happy little girl!
I have been thinking a lot lately about ways we can save money. Being a stay at home mom means that we have a very tight budget! I always hear everyone talk about how couponing saves loads of money. But to be honest, I find it very frustrating. Almost everything I buy is fruits and veggies, and I have never seen any coupons for that! I try to make a lot of things from scratch to avoid high fructose corn syrup and disgusting preservatives! And...again...most of the coupons I see are just for that! I try to use coupons when I buy hygiene products and cleaning supplies, which does save some money. But I want to learn how to really make some big cuts in our budget. So, today I got on Amazon and ordered the above book. I got the used version, much cheaper than new, and hopefully I can learn the ins n' outs of money saving!
