My Blog Creation

So I decided to create a blogspot. Not only because "everyone's doing it" and it's the "cool thing to do" these days (I hope you sense my sarcasm:), but because many times, with the chaos and fast-pace of life, I often forget the many cute and funny things my kids do, or the great family time I had on vacation and during holidays, or just the awesome sunset/sunrise I saw walking the dog (and kids). I feel that as a stay-at-home mom every day is a special opportunity for me to witness and interact with my kids as they grow up right in front of me. And the somewhat scary part is that I'm supposed to be the one teaching them and they're the ones looking to me for guidance. Yikes! Thank goodness it's not only me and Daniel doing the guiding, but Him helping us! But if only we could slow things down for a while! I'm not quite ready for Christopher (our 3rd baby, almost 4 months old) to be growing up as fast as he is! The only thing I can do is cherish where we are in life and be thankful to God for giving Daniel and me our three precious and healthy kiddos. I also can't believe that Katherine (our oldest) started Kindergarten this week. It was such a bittersweet moment. I think the thing that made me tear up the most wasn't the thought of her being gone all day or leaving or our starting a new phase of life, but the interaction and deep love I saw between Katherine and her brothers as she was saying goodbye to them...as if they wouldn't ever see each other again. They share such a deep love for each other and I think one of the best things in life is watching them play, laugh, and take care of each other. Well, I hope to never forget all the special things I get to be a part of every day with my family. I'm so blessed! As to the blog...if nothing else, hopefully this can be a way for me (and family/friends) to go back and laugh at life and the precious memories that have been made.

Oh and for those wondering about Katherine's first day of school...it went great. Thanks for asking! So far, she's really adjusted well and had lots of energy (more than me!) when she's come home from school and has played with Howdy and Matthew in the backyard until dinner. The only thing she mentioned the other day is that she got in "trouble" for singing too loud in the cafeteria during lunch. I asked her what she was singing and she said she couldn't remember, but I'm sure she was just being silly with her new friends Seth, Jasmine, and the other friends she's made this week. She didn't come home with any notes or anything, so I'm guessing she just was told to not sing so loudly. Hehe... I thought it was kind of funny though:)

Old Navy Coupon!!

Wahoo...I don't know if I've ever been more excited about a coupon before! Lately, I've been following a lot of neat money-saving blogs to see if I could cut our grocery budget down from about $1,000 a month and I'm proud to say that I've done that this month and cut it down to $400...more than HALF! That's partially why I haven't posted blogs in a while because this definitely keeps me busy, but I guess is well worth it! I use to just clip a few coupons, head to the store, and be so excited when I'd save $15-20 in one trip. (If you're interested in knowing the money-saving blogs I follow, let me know and I'll forward them to you!) Anyways, OldNavyWeekly.com hides several coupons on there each week (usually reloads on Thursdays) and a big coupon on there is $75 off $100 purchase. I tried last week to get it and even stayed up til 2 a.m. trying, but no luck (I really enjoy the challenge:). Last night, I tried at 8 p.m. and found they reloaded...

Just Because...

Yesterday Daniel surprised me with a beautiful bouquet of red roses...just because!:) And after having stayed up late last night, this morning when I woke up, there was a pot of Starbuck's coffee made with a sweet note! And if you know how much Daniel detests coffee (he calls it poison:), then you'll understand how big of a deal this is:) Thanks hun!
