My Blog

Thanks for stopping by! I use to blog to "keep in touch," I use to blog to brag, I use to blog for an outlet. I have now realized I blog because these are the things I want my children to know/remember about our life together as a family. These days won't stop passing, but having a record of it when it is all a memory will be priceless to me.
I read your blog because I love you!

Deals anyone?


I feel like I must admit to the world that I am NOT a couponer! I know "everyone" says I should be... I have 4 kids, I am a stay at home mom and we are poor try to live simply. But I just can't do it! Most of the food is food I wouldn't normally buy. I see doing it for other products but it just feels like a part time job for me. Maybe I am lazy but one thing I love is Groupon, Livingsocial, and CityDeals. I love getting an email, seeing if there is anything I want and then moving on! I only buy it if it is something that I have been wanting to do anyway. One thing that I had been wanting to do was to go to the Aquarium. So when Livingsocial had a deal for an adult and child membership for $18 (2 adults and 2 kids [that we have to pay for] 2x$18= $36) and it would normally cost us $34 to go as a family, it was a no brainer for me. The day after we got the deal, I couldn't wait! I wanted to go so bad. Josh packed us all up in the car and told us we were going for a ride. When we started heading south I got excited... until he pulled into the parking lot at F.Y.E. (although I knew there was one closer so I was still hoping) After a short stop at F.Y.E. we got back in the car and we headed to the Living Planet Aquarium!




It was a lot of fun and I am sure that we will find ourselves there often this year. It is pretty far so I am not sure how often but enought to get more than our money worth out of the deal.




































My favorite was for sure the penguins! I really enjoyed watching them waddle around and splash into the pool. It was a great time.

That's awesome! I loved the penguins when we went too. I couldn't believe how fast they are!
