Frugalista

This mama has a new obsession.

She (I) learned about it on the evening news last night, and it seemed like a great idea. It IS a great idea. It's for anyone- male, female, young, old and those in between. It's for anyone CANADIAN that wants to save a buck or two here and there.

This mama does. This mama IS Canadian.

And, she's begun COUPONING!!!

The website I came across (in the news) is specifically for any and all canadians; naturally, though, everyone is equally able to do it. They just need to start!!

So, dear Canadian friends and Canadian mamas that want to become frugalicious, look up www.mrsjanuary.com. Her website is a great place to begin!

(on a side note, since I don't have a computer and printer hooked up yet, I instead went out
and picked up a coupon book and flyer from the local pharmasave and began there. As I go out
to the various stores in town, I'll make a point to look for them!!)

~ 123 ~ she's begun walking with her walker!!!

~ 124 ~ she's also picked up " ah- choo", "puppy" and one other word that escapes me at the moment

~ 125 ~ her sister has begun practicing saying their names

~ 126 ~ the little moments (here and there) that she takes to help her mommy- putting something in the garbage, putting something on the belt at the till in the grocery store, the random things she hands me for random reasons

~ 127 ~ 9 days!!!!

~ 128 ~ shopping for Christmas presents (yes!!!!! I've begun...)

~ 129 ~ "love you like a love song"- it's a good song- for a teeny bopper :)

~ 130 ~ having said that, MUSIC!!

Fresh Air

Because space is so limited in the trailer, and because we are camped in the trees without a nice patch of grass for the kids to play in, we decided to buy a picnic tent in order to increase the square footage they could play in.

My husband is so proud he could do something like this for the girls. I am happy they can play out of the house for a while! I don't want them to watch alot of tv, and this is a great way to stretch their imaginations and get some fresh air while they're at it. And as I type this, maren has climbed into her jolly jumper all on her own!! Way to go little bean!!!

(I really want to post a picture, but I'm unable to do so using my iPhone. Another reason I am desperately missing my computer!!)
