Grocery Trip 01/11 (and this past weekend)

For those of you interested in where I got the coupons, I generally buy two of every Sunday paper, I get leftover coupons from my mom and mom-in-law, I print many from online and I get Meijer store coupons (SQ) from meijermealbox.com. Here are two links to blogs in West Michigan, which give match-ups and links to the Internet printable coupons (IP).

We are a busy family of five! I enjoy time with my husband and kids, running, being outdoors, shopping for deals, and cuddling. My wonderful husband keeps busy playing with the kiddos, hunting, fishing, exercising and working on projects around the house. Madisyn is six, in 1st grade, loves being outdoors and isn't one bit afraid of bugs or worms! Landon is four, a spitting image of Daddy, and is the sweetest, naughtiest and funniest little boy, all in one! Tinley was born February 24, 2012 and has already blessed us beyond belief! Here's a glimpse into our crazy and wonderful lives... hope you enjoy!







Tiece of Cake

I've finally decided to make a blog (Tiece of cake) dedicated to cakes... as to not consume the family blog.
