They're acting like kids!

I'm sitting on the sofa, watching my 13- and 19-year-old daughters wrestling on the floor. Some things never change. They were playing Wii, now they are torturing each other. I was afraid that the days of watching my children playing on the floor were long-gone. This has done my heart good.

So, what's up with the weather? This is the second year in a row with virtually no winter here in the middle of the country. I don't mean to complain, but I really love being snowed in with the family. Everyone focuses just a bit more on each other, and things slow down. As I am writing this, though, I am aware that a winter storm is hitting some of my friends. I hope you are all safe and worm.

I was in the "Big City" yesterday, shopping for deals. I was a bit disappointed at the lack of deals I found, but I did have one pretty sweet shopping experience. I got two bottles of NatureMade vitamins and two bags of Valentine's Day M&Ms for $2.10. When I got to the car, I realized I had forgotten to use a coupon that would have made the entire purchase totally free. Still, the pre-coupon total was more than $30. Not bad, if I do say so myself. I have also been using the price list I get from Weekly Saver. At Walmart, with the list, I am able to save a ton of money by price-matching. If you are in the Monett or Springfield area, look them up on Facebook: Weekly Saver or email a request a free trial list to weeklysaver@yahoo.com
A lot of work goes into the list, and Rhema only charges $3 per week for the lists. I saved that much last week on Avocados, alone. Tell her Kenna sent you!

Finally, I found PUL fabric in Springfield last week. I got so excited when I saw it, I bought two yards. Then I went back for another half yard. Now.... I have 2 1/2 yards of specialty fabric and don't know what I am going to do with it. I made my grumdaughter a crayon roll-up with a place for paper. I am working on several ideas, but haven't gotten to the "cut it out" stage yet. I hope to have something major done by the end of the weekend.

Well, not much randomness here. My 13-year-old has my 19-year-old on her back, and someone is going to get hurt. I guess it is time for Mom to step in. Have a great one!

  1. Dravyn loves the crayon/paper travel roll. You should totally make more and sell them.
