Pretty proud of this trip even if I did buy things I didn't have coupons for and didn't plan on buying. Plus I got a LOT of stuff that we have had to go without that we use to buy because we couldn't afford (i.e. the stouffers lasagnas and tater tots). How many of you have gone without because it wasn't on a good deal/didn't have good coupons for an item you really like? My family will always have food on their plate, a roof over their heads, and clothes on their backs but sometimes will go without the extras. That's called survival.

SouthernSavers.com, IHeartPublix.com, and TheKrazyCouponLady.com helped me plan this trip! :D

I send out Holiday cards every year. Starting my first year with Greg when no one even knew who he was. But it can get expensive when you add in cards, stamps, and labels. Since stamps are something I can't change the prince on, that leaves cards and labels. I got free labels from Vista Print a while back. I only had to pay shipping, so I'm going to use those and very excited about them. Here are some deals I have found on Cards.

Get 10 Holiday Cards from VistaPrint.com for only $1.99. You can even get personalized ones!

My Publisher is offering 10 FREE Holiday Photo Cards, with Free Shipping! There is no purchase necessary, use coupon code HAPPY10FREE for the discount. This is fun because it also includes printing your return address on pretty lined envelopes! Have until 11/21 to make & order your 10 FREE cards. - Thanks SouthernSavers.com

Those are some good deals. So get to taking a nice Holiday photo and get those cards made. :)

Wow, I haven't seriously updated this in a while. Lizzie will be 10 months old tomorrow. I can not believe it. At her 9 month check up (9/19), she weighed 16.6 pounds, Length 26 and 1/4 inches, Head 46 and 1/2 cm. She had to have two shots but she only cried for a second. My little peanut isn't so little anymore. She is crawling everywhere and getting into everything. She doesn't listen to me at all. She is no longer eating baby food - grown up foods all the way! :) She has been sick this week. Her first cold. She has a mild fever and a mucus-like cough. But she is a lot better now. She can wave goodbye and clap. She has three teeth. I'm so proud of her. I love her so much.
