New Month, New Coupons!



And some HIGH value ones at that! Here a few ones I see, I have built you direct links, so just click and print! Hurry too because these are pretty good coupons and won't last long.


$1.50/2 Skintimate Shave Gels or Cremes and $1.50/2 Edge Shave Gels - We usually only get the $0.55/1, so for us that only get doubling up to $0.50, this is an AWESOME coupon.

$0.50/1 any flavor/variety Muir Glen product - Cheap to FREE items at Publix and Kroger after doubling. :)

$1 off Jif Hazelnut Spread - FREE at Wal-Mart

$0.55/1 Cottonelle 9 pack Bathroom Tissue - If this is your brand, then snag this coupon because they are rare. And we LOVE this type in our house.

$3/2 any packages of Starbucks Coffee - Great scenario at Publix

$.75/3 Pillsbury Toaster Strudel - use with the $1/2 Target coupon at Publix next week and they will be $0.42 each if Target is a competitor.

$1 off Gerber yogurt melts snack - Use at Wal-Mart to get them for $1.48 or Publix for $1.50, either way that is a great price!



October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month


I would just like to take a moment to share something personal.

I was in a car accident in June as most of you probably already know. With the accident leaving me car-less, it also left me with a decent sized bruise by my right armpit on my breast. A knot was left and I don't know if it was there before or not. Looking for the symptoms of breast cancer it made me worry and worry and worry. Odds are in my favor since I breastfed and have no previous history of breast cancer in my family.

I have an appointment set up for a mammogram. I am a little nervous because I have been looking up the symptoms and I have more than one. But since I also just recently ended my breastfeeding journey in March and I read that it can take as long for everything to be back to normal. My doctors also don't seem too concerned. I do not want anyone to worry.

But although I don't know the outcome yet, I am so glad the accident happened. But with this I wish I had kept up with my self breast exams.

I will keep you all posted if you are interested on my outcome. But I have high hopes. And please, for my family and personal friends who read this, don't worry. I am just trying to inform and I'm sure everything will be okay and that it is indeed a knot from the accident. 
 
Please ladies check yourself. Please keep up to date with your mammograms and your GYN visits so they can check you as well. I have linked some great resources on this blog entry. Please take a minute to check them out and please share with friends.

Please stay safe and remember, men can get breast cancer too.

Enjoy Your Pregnancy

Funny, scrolling Pinterest, I see all these pregnancy announcement pictures, baby bump through the months, or sex reveal pictures. And other creative ways to announce different things of your pregnancy. I kind of feel like the joy of my pregnancy was robbed from me. Some things were unavoidable and out of anyone's control, some things could have been handled differently. My grandmother passed away, I got into a car accident, my father passed away, my identity was stolen, and my step-mother brought on all this stress over the life insurance money. I didn't have time to think of cute ways to remember my pregnancy, stress was all I had time to think about. I did create this blog. And I am so glad I did. It is the only thing I have to remember that special time. You are only pregnant with your first child once. You are only pregnant for your first time once. I feel like I was robbed.


So my advice? Enjoy it. I know first hand that life completely gets in the way. And it sucks. But try your best to take those pictures, write down those memories, even if they are embarrassing.

 Don't take it for granted. Not everyone is as lucky as you. I feel so blessed that I was able to conceive so quickly. I feel truly blessed that we were able to conceive at all. Although women in my family tend to be very fertile, I had my doubts.

I feel like I am rambling and being very serious for 12 a.m. And maybe that is just the mood I am in today and based on the weird day I had.

Feel free to share your ways that you enjoyed your pregnancy. I promise not to get too jealous. ;)


Publix Trip - 9/30 - 74% Savings!

Today, we had to go get my dog from my mom who watched him while we were in Florida (Thanks, Mom!) And then on the way home my hubby dropped me and Sweet Pea off at our local Publix and then he went home to drop the dog off THEN came back and picked us up. A LOT of running around but now everything is back to normal and we won't have to do that kind of driving for a while. 

With my babies, back home, safe and sound.
Anyways, Publix is having some GREAT deals. Some ended today and some are just GREAT after coupons but alas most end Wednesday. So hurry and snag these deals for yourself if you are interested!



***Please Note: My Publix does HALF price BOGOs, they accept Target, Kroger, and Ingles coupons as their competitors, and they also double coupons. Per Publix's coupon policy, if you have a BOGO manu coupon, you are allowed to use a money off coupon on the one you have to buy unless otherwise stated.

I have set up direct links to the coupons when I could. I also use Facebook coupons and suggest getting one and just using it to print coupons if you don't want to be on Facebook. Please also be aware that you can print Coupons.com and Coupon Network coupons directly from my blog now! :)
