I like savin' money and I cannot lie (sung to the tune of "Baby Got Back")

Confession time: I am quickly becoming obsessed with couponing.  I realize this makes me a huge dork...no need for anyone to point it out.

It's actually becoming a game to me....how much can I save? What can I get for free? Where can I go in the hour I have for a lunch break to get free stuff with my stash of coupons?

I realize spending my lunch hour couponing makes me an even bigger nerd, but I figure it's better than spending money on eating out at a resturant and adding inches to my already bulging waistline!  If you are interested in learning how to coupon (and yes, there is a technique), check out http://www.couponmom.com/.  She has some great tips along with a video tutorial.  Some other websites I like are http://www.totallytarget.com/, http://meijermadness.com/, and http://www.iheartriteaid.com/

My almost 3 year old

M's birthday party was this past weekend. Although I am worn out, I am proud to report it was a huge success. The clown was fantastic and boggled my feeble mind.........I have never understood how magician's do it! He was a regular David Blaine.

I can't believe my little girl will be 3 in just two days.  She makes me so proud!  I know everyone is proud of their kid, but I swear this kid is something special.  She is so intelligent. She is working 24 piece jigsaw puzzles by herself. Her language skills are amazing! She knows more words than most 5 or 6 year olds.

M is following right in my footsteps.......and not just on the intelligence part! :) She continues to get in trouble at the sitter for talking during nap time. Just like Mommy did in kindergarten!  She is also Chatty Cathy, just like Mommy! Some days I can't wait for the boys to get old enough to talk back to her.  Her stories are hilarious though. Here is an excerpt of a letter she made me write to her dad tonight:

"A little girl was walking down the street and she got runned over. The little girl stinks because poop stinks in the toilet. Then she fell down and she got runned over. Then she peed. THE END"

I was crying I was laughing so hard!
