TV Time

Charlie is obsessed with TV! I know it's bad for him (Per all the books I read) but anytime we have it on, he's trying to look at it. Well, the other day I caught him and Steve watching together. He didn't even look at me when I took his picture! Oh boy, I think we are going to have some trouble with this!

The Stock Pile

About a month ago, my mom brought an article in the paper to my attention. It was about SavingsAngel.com. There was a family's pantry on the front of this section and it was amazing! I wanted to have one just like it! I've been stocking up with my coupons and deals and here's the work in progress:

Mac and Cheese anyone??

You'd think I would have smooth legs with all these shavers.....but I have a baby too....

All Smiles!

Charlie is really smiley lately! Which is really good, cause I think he's getting some teeth soon! I'll take the smiles while I can get them.

What a happy guy! I actually think he kinda looks like my brother in this picture....

In Honor of Janna

This blog started off all about Baby, but it's also turning into how I save money I've been blessed with. So I met with the Thrifty Mama herself, Janna. My Sister-in-law taught me all about coupons (as you all know!) I'd like to honor her with my purchases today!

  1. 2 Action Scrubbers (3.79 ea)
  2. Fantastik Cleaner (2.49)

Charlie's New Toy


We got Charlie a Jumparoo! He loves it! (Even at 7:00AM) We put him in it and when his hits this little blue button on the front, it plays music. We'll let me tell you! I hear it in my sleep! I think we might actually cut down on "Jumparoo time"!!

My Cutie

I just had to post this picture of my cute little boy! Sorry, but I know I'm biased!

I caught ya!

This past week, Steve was watching Charlie while I was doing some grocery shopping and he had put him in his car seat on the counter (I know, a no-no) to watch him while he made some lunch. He was falling asleep holding on to the toys that dangle from the handle. Steve tried to get a picture and as he was taking it, he opened his eyes, but you get the point. Plus, it's cute! Just imagine him with his eyes closed!
