I love being SORE!) Then Katie came over and we went coupon shopping(I saved about $20 bucks!! That is always fun) But thankfully I had Katie, because we know how much Maia loves to go to the grocery stores!! NOT!</div><div>Then Matt came home and we went to Trafalga and ended up buying the Pass of all Passes!! Didn't think I would- but it will be fun to have something to do with Maia this summer!! </div><div>Saturday-</div><div>We went to the ZOO!! and boy did Maia Love it!!!

I liked being home with Maia, keeping her on a pretty good schedule, keeping up on the house duties, and making breakfast(isn't there just a sense of accomplishment when you make breakfast? I really love making it for my family! It's like you are starting their day off right!)!! Although I only have to work about 5 hours every morning I still have a hard time keeping up on the everyday life stuff!! Because as you teachers know teaching is not just a 5 hr/day job!! </div><div><br /></div><div>So this spring break was like a little peak into what summer will hopefully look like!

I am crazy about it- I stay up late printing coupons, I dream about good deals, and I just spent 2 hours at the WALMART with Maia who hates shopping! I know I am crazy.<div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">It all got started with this little show-</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"> <img src="http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS-cB4FAVO9PwDoty5du2lIBtvkBsH90bEHilc3ZS0kHYzk2LOvdw" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div> About a month ago they did this TLC special(It has now turned into a series I guess)- where these extreme couponers got their groceries up to 90% off- it was ridiculous! But it got me thinking... I wanna do that!</div><div><br /></div><div>Although my grocery bills haven't saved me 70,80,90% off from this new obsession, I usually save about 50% and I think that is great! </div></div><div><br /></div><div>I know this is something that I could consume my life with- because it is a fun and it does get addicting- but I have tried really hard to do my best, and if something I need doesn't have a coupon or there isn't an ad for it- then it is ok- I get it anyway and realize that I am saving money on a lot of items I already need! </div><div><br /></div><div>So here are the trips I went on today!</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">first stop-</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" ><i>Target</i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div> My sister, Katie has been coming with me to target and we have had a lot of fun searching for the deals, and looking on the clearance end caps!

Cause I couldn't even figure out how to do it!)</div><div><br /></div><div>Pretty Cool, huh?? Nothing Crazy like 90%- but I still feel great about it!</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">2nd Stop -</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" ><i>Walmart</i></span></div><div><br /></div><div>So of course the beloved Walmart that most of us shop at, and their prices are already pretty low on most things, so why price match and coupon? Because it's FUN!! and you can save $$$$!!</div><div><br /></div><div>Well I went into Walmart with my ads and my coupon binder thinking I was organized! Well next time I will do better, because I think the checker hated me! She stopped asking to see my ads that I was price matching with and just believed the prices I told her, I memorized them anyway- so it was all honest! </div><div><br /></div><div>So after I felt like everyone was watching me, and my 6 ads, and my big binger, and my crying baby and my unorganized cart- I spent a total of 51.85 on 97.79 worth of things!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJEeWrZSwrLMziSREMvYNUna1PC4EkKjI-L0E9wJbZBaYmsd5SUlaF1RnZQvpfAressBKxMG74PYH5xPYtgYUlcJSaaYIAJnW2tJ7Ky_vC-bJOKzLKAYxHP-P0DOoXIATUmbZwlv7zz5Y/s1600/2011+098.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJEeWrZSwrLMziSREMvYNUna1PC4EkKjI-L0E9wJbZBaYmsd5SUlaF1RnZQvpfAressBKxMG74PYH5xPYtgYUlcJSaaYIAJnW2tJ7Ky_vC-bJOKzLKAYxHP-P0DOoXIATUmbZwlv7zz5Y/s400/2011+098.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588515994157161234" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div> among those you will see...</div><div>Diapers- for my best friends shower this saturday- which I saved like 5.50 on!

So when it's on sale I buy a lot- and I think I have enough pasta for 1 year!</div><div><br /></div><div>Now are you thinking, this takes too much time, it seems too stressful and hard? So did I when my sister Caroline told me about couponing months ago- but after seeing what these people were saving I decided to try! And I still get nervous when I go to a lane that the checker is going to tell me NO- you can't do that! And if they did- oh well I wouldn't get it- no big deal! As you can see I was so hesitant to start doing this, and the checkers have been so easy to work with(for the most part) and they are happy to help(for the most part)! and it's funny but with couponing and price matching- you can do it as much as you want or as little as you want- but it still feels good, because you are still saving money!</div><div>I just truly believe little Changes will make Big differences, and it is funny to say- But I don't think I could ever go back to shopping like I used to! </div><div><br /></div><div>OK Enough on my soap box! just don't knock it till you try it and don't go in line behind someone with a shopping cart full of ads, and coupons, and screaming 1 year old!!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Matt and Sarah Josephhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15157894287256194569noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3649050199096006270.post-39276712550302745072011-02-05T21:30:00.010-07:002011-02-05T21:49:53.125-07:00See I can Craft... Well kind of!!So I had the urge to create something today- but Maia was sleeping and I couldn't go to the store. So I went through some of my old fabric scraps and decided to make a V-day table runner( I have been looking for one, but couldn't find a cute one to buy), so it made sense to try and make a cute one! <div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I am not a patient seamstress, but I decided to try my best on this project (I even pulled out the iron)!

So excited about that! It's been super hard to leave Maia EVERY DAY, but only 4 weeks left and then no more school for a long while! (Teaching probably, Masters possibly down the road)<div> Matt has been working super hard and we are so proud of him! Work 5-6 days a week, and school 4 nights a week! </div><div>Let's just say I am glad Maia is young and won't remember this crazy time of life where her parents abandon her everyday! She is a Trooper!!</div><div>But when we aren't at school or work...

But I thought I'd better so I can remember this awesome time of our life!<br />Matt and I just started school~ He is doing Computer stuff!! I am in my last semester of Elementary Education- which means I am Student Teaching! I just finished my 2nd week at Highland Elementary! I am in Kindergarten and I love it! My two sessions(AM/PM) are so much fun and sure do keep my entertained! I am learning so much, but most of all i am just learning how much time it takes! Planning, Preparing, cutting, copying, tying shoes, comforting crying children when they cry because someone just butt them in line- Ya know just the everyday stuff?!!?<br />So when we aren't at school we get to play with our little Maia- who is such a big girl now! Almost 8 months and she...<br />-went sledding for the first time last week<br />-just broke 2 teeth yesterday!<br />-has the nick name "roly Poly" because she rolls across the room in record time<br />-Loves sweet potatoes, Graham Crackers, and carrots<br />-Hates formula(just started it and it's not been an easy transition so far)<br />- and Smiles way more than she cries!!!<br />So to say the least, she is a great, happy, perfect little angel!! We are just so thankful she is putting up with us dropping her off on our mom's 5-6 days a week!</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvjnyGDkQIdXN5snMq3mMWnPAjykwPhYWnGIUaxm8tVZkkY6UP6cRrwNUauFg60E1_F7vb4NEodGuu8W_NkCUwURtZ_HVHK7PwdCKLiVGTpkEwsNk03XHAv6oG31te7o4dZuHB5Fu1qYA/s1600-h/January+045.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvjnyGDkQIdXN5snMq3mMWnPAjykwPhYWnGIUaxm8tVZkkY6UP6cRrwNUauFg60E1_F7vb4NEodGuu8W_NkCUwURtZ_HVHK7PwdCKLiVGTpkEwsNk03XHAv6oG31te7o4dZuHB5Fu1qYA/s400/January+045.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5429762745850440642" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Sledding With my sister Caroline and her baby Scott</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8pkVLMwOtYLT0zoUN3dprEn5wbG-p7_Y_c7EnoeZWWvL63efBJJCAMnl6NEUxKkENO_YEL6hyfyKDBNZKbuO0T0h03TFv-Az2YlBeU3frYOtd6OsJeJ5OYTgk4C9MNRIg1vFvjXcN85M/s1600-h/January+029.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8pkVLMwOtYLT0zoUN3dprEn5wbG-p7_Y_c7EnoeZWWvL63efBJJCAMnl6NEUxKkENO_YEL6hyfyKDBNZKbuO0T0h03TFv-Az2YlBeU3frYOtd6OsJeJ5OYTgk4C9MNRIg1vFvjXcN85M/s400/January+029.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5429762742429599602" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Matt on his first day of school</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> (don't take this down babe)</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg88qim6QgobH-V4yAVWeO-qilkF24i5f5IIW2et9pygvb5KYDnS6qhaxbjCFcCg5BDhl7pE_bjlJP4m6zB8qekGlNFF_oO-c3SL1vh_OrOq1O02SjfAu6gnQuTi2RTt8YISMl5F9ogMeM/s1600-h/January+040.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg88qim6QgobH-V4yAVWeO-qilkF24i5f5IIW2et9pygvb5KYDnS6qhaxbjCFcCg5BDhl7pE_bjlJP4m6zB8qekGlNFF_oO-c3SL1vh_OrOq1O02SjfAu6gnQuTi2RTt8YISMl5F9ogMeM/s400/January+040.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5429762734273777810" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Maia getting ready for her first sledding adventure </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Her Aunt Katie takes such good care of her when I am away at school everyda</span>y!</div></div>Matt and Sarah Josephhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15157894287256194569noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3649050199096006270.post-10898155775619873862010-01-16T00:33:00.010-07:002010-01-17T13:21:45.728-07:00Who would you rather watch?I was just curious what other's thought of the Tonight Show situation.
