We had a busy weekend. Jason cleaned the basement which took almost all day Saturday and most of the day Sunday. We also rearranged our bedroom furniture and it looks so much better. My candle making area is more organized so that's nice too. I even have an area to package and ship candles(I used to use the Dining room table)! The most exciting thing about my weekend was learning some new things about couponing and saving TONS on groceries. My friend Terri from church invited me to her house where she introduced me to a new site called mommysnacks.net. Now that I see how much I can save, I am totally addicted! I am going to blog more about this but for example: This week at Kroger you can get Gatorade, and Tennessee Sausage Gravy FREE! I will miss out on both these deals because I would have needed to save my Red Plum Inserts from December and the beginning of January (which I pitched not knowing). So it is involved, but if you get FREE groceries it's well worth the time. Last week at Meijer Lance Crackers, Dole Salad, Dannon Yogurt, and Chex Mix were all FREE! Andrea the creator of mommysnacks.net does all the guess work for you so that's nice too! So in the meantime check out her site! If you get stuck and can't figure something out, let me know!

As far as my weight loss goals go...my weekend was ok. It could have been worse. I did not work out at all. Saturday I broke out in hives and had to take a couple Benadryl which zonked me out most of the day..I was still feeling kinda fuzzy on Sunday. I did loose a pound. I was able to get a TON of weight watchers Smart Ones on Sale at Meijer so I will eat those this week along with my yogurt and salad. I am looking forward to a good week. Good Luck Teri and Catherine! We can do it!
