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!

Jessie, have you tried bountiful baskets? It's fruits and veggies that local farmers sell. You get a whole laundry basket or two small round baskets full for $15.00. I love it. Anyway, the website is www.bountifulbaskets.org. Just thought you might like it :)
So I think its only $18.00 the first time and then its $15.00 from then on. You can buy weekly or just whenever you want. The produce lasts us a couple weeks. I feel the same about couponing, its too stressful and time consuming!
oh I cant believe jentri is 18 mo time is flying by, I feel bad that some "mean nurse" poked holes in my little girl today! hope she doesnt have a bad reaction! I cant wait to see you all, I hope that book has lots of tips you can share with me!!! love ya
18 months already? Holy moly! She is such a doll. Let me know how you like that book. I could have written your section on groceries, lol.
she's adorable Jessie....let us know if the book really helps
Hey Jessie! I can't believe how big Jentri is getting! Don't worry about the biting...it's just a phase :) As for saving money, I have TONS of ways to do so. I've actually been thinking about volunteering to do a class for enrichment...we'll see. Anyway, I do WAY too much to tell you it all right here so maybe we can get together sometime and I'll show you :) Let me know.
