Car Seat Safety Advice: From a Mom Who Makes Mistakes So You Don't Have To
Wednesday, February 13, 2013
As moms, we live and learn every single day. Some lessons are tough and come from experience, while others, thankfully, we learn just in time. During Child Passenger Safety Week, I feel it’s so important to share my personal story in hopes of helping other parents avoid some of the mistakes I’ve made.
I’m not a certified car seat technician, and I don’t claim to be an expert. But I am a mother with real-world experience and that counts for something. My goal isn’t to judge or shame; it’s to educate and support. Parenting is hard enough without the added fear that we’ve unknowingly put our child in danger. So, let’s walk through some key car seat safety tips, together.
Who is excited about The Walking Dead tonight?

Friday, February 8, 2013
Anyways I had some great shopping trips this week!
The first Publix trip was actually a leak over from last week but
we have been fighting colds so I was pretty lazy plus I have been trying to get my blog, diet, exercise, couponing, and everything else in my life organized.
So although I have been saving money where I can,

I had intentions of getting with coupons but they were out AND I forgot my $0.50/1 Cheerios coupon that would have doubled but did manage to use this Saving Star one making them $1.49 instead of $0.49 that it should have been. I spent too much - $39.61 OOP (if I didn't have a $10 gift card from a campaign, it would have been more) but it's okay because I stocked up on the veggies needed to do the Copy Kids DVD review and some special items for Valentine's Day. :)
