• Im looking forward to reviewing for other company too, but here what i have so far!

I just plan forgot...

You know when you excited about blogging so you start a blog... Then slowly it dies down you have forgot about your blog. Yeah that's my blog!! Id like to think i can keep up with a blog, but i can't if well im trying to keep up with all the other things in my life.. Or maybe its that i just plan forget get. Im going to get better at it, i promise. Last time i was blogging i was really into couponing. Well since we have changed the way we eat and well moved to Alaska, the coupons just plan suck here!! I have gotten really good at price comparing and shopping at different stores. Since moving to the great big-o state of Alaska all we can think about is leaving when our 3 years is up. I don't know what is it about this place but i haven't been digging it all that much. Winter is just a month or two away and well i can't say im looking forward to the snow, the icy roads or shoveling the drive every dang day. The winter is around 8 months here with lots of darkness and cold. Im from Az i like it hot and a lot of sun in my life. Id go back to Washington in a heart beat along with all its rain and winter gloom. But its not gonna happen, so we will make the best of this situation. My girls will be in school here in the next couple days. So what im trying to say is im going to have a little bit of free time and ill try to keep up... Thanks for stopping by!

Don't be a DCH!!!

I had so many people on weusecoupons.com make me feel like a DCH (dirty coupon hoe). I had question about a coupon, i just wanted to make sure i used it right! I had people going off telling me not to misuse coupons and let me make this clean that hadn't even used that damn thing yet. Hints the reason i was asking for help in the 1st place. On a funny note i had over 6 people write me a message stating how they used the coupon wrong and i could also do the same. They didn't want there ass chewed in the feed so they sent me a message. I didn't reply because the reason i wrote was to make sure i used it on the right thing.... So people get my blood boiling, i say next time i will just stick to the commissary feed where everyone is very nice and helpful!!!

Wow Long time no write...

So i think its been over a year since i wrote anything. But some how i always end up coming back.. There has been so much going on since the last time i wrote. As you know my husband was in Iraq, but has now been back for about 6 months now. Its crazy how time fly's when your having fun ;)... My girls are also getting so big, Nene is about to be 5 next month and i can't believe she about to be starting school. Addi is going on 2 and half and is so smart she blows my mind every day. There both getting big and need to slow down!!! I'm still a stay at home mom, but now we live in Wa. Its really pretty here, rains alot but nothing we cant handle. I have also really gotten into couponing, It helps to keep me busy when the girls aren't =) and i really enjoy it... I have been shopping a saving and its awesome, i cant get enough of it. I will be posting about my saving and how i did it and i hope to help anyone who needs it. Well nap times almost over and i got thing to do so i better get a move on it. I will be posting about today shopping savings later! Have a great day everyone!

8 months down 4 to go.

Wow we've made it this far??? Am i proud of us? heck yes i am. But i really can't wait for to all be over. I'm really hoping (fingers crossed) that we get to stay here in AZ. It'd be nice for the girls to be around family plus we both love AZ. I'm just waiting for the word that its happening and i can go look at houses to rent. I love staying here with my mom and dad, but i also cant wait to get the hell out of there house. We may have to wait for school and orders before we could get all our stuff from ga. But hey i dont mind shopping for new stuff ;).... So im just waiting to hear back from all of that to see whats the nexts step in our lifes...


We just had an awesome r&r, the girls loved seeing there daddy and so did i!!!

Is this month getting longer or is it just me?

Why did i count the days? there's 25 days left by the way... Why is that when the hubs gets back i get him for a month and then its off for 12months. None of this has hit me, its just something i keep thinking about. I'm not even sure if it bugs me yet, its going to get really real when i have to pack the rest of my stuff up and store it. Or maybe it will hit me on the way back home or at the airport when i have to say goodbye for a year in a moment in the airport lobby as i see my husband walk away. Don't you hate going to the airport to drop people off? i know i do.. I stand there watching them walk away thinking damn i didn't get enough time and i just want one more hug. I love the part when they come in to the airport, there always lots of waiting and looking out the windows. Until you see them and all you wanna do is take off running. But in my case i let the babies run 1st, i love watching the looks on there face and his.

Wow it just started raining out of know where and it is so loud... Not that i would be going anywhere, i hate going places in the rain with the kids. Yesterday i had a WIC appt at 8am and had to get up the girls at 7 and feed and dress them. Getting my big one up is no fun when shes not ready to get up. Everything moves so slow i have to keep telling her we have to go eat. Then when we did get out of the house finally it was raining. We get to the WIC office and its still raining, so i get both kids out and try and run inside but then i have a grumpy kids that wants to drag her feet. We get inside its an hour before I'm seen, when i am finally seen they have new paper work that the doctor has to fill out so you can get baby food. So of course i go to doctors so i can get this paper filled out. The baby just had an appt the week before and wouldn't being going back for awhile. So anyways i get the paper filled out and go back and have to wait 2 hours, let me tell there is so many people in there. I think i got lucky that the baby wasn't crying and nene wanted to sit on my lap the whole time. Let me tell you what i think of this WIC office besides it being to small and not having enough workers. It always has so many people in there and no one can move and there is nasty kids everywhere. I'm sorry but i don't let me kid go up to peoples babies and touch them, so i would think that people would do the same. I don't want other peoples kids touching my baby with there nasty hands.... I just sit there and watch them all do what they want while there parents just sit there and of course I'm not going to say anything to someones kid so i just sit hoping there mom say something. After sitting 2 hours i got up and asked if i was seeing someone again or if they forgot about me? Finally after 3 and half hours i get all my paper work and head home. By this time i just wanna go home and not go out again for the rest of the day. But i had to go out again and get baby food and pampers, I'm just glad it had stopped raining. Oh yeah the reason i was writing about WIC was to say you get baby food on it now. Along with fresh fruit bread and and couple others. Ok im done going on and on....

Im going to go play with the kids now, gotta find something to do when sitting inside all day....

Last nights good byes for a month....

This is a 1st family picture, it been a long time waiting. We took some pictures before we had to drop daddy off for a month...

The daddy and his girls

Mommy and Daddy

Daddy and addi...

Daddy and nene!

Last night was the last time i will see my husband for a month.... We took daddy up to troop around 6:30 and got to hang out for about 2 and half hours. The girls love seeing everyone and nene loved talking to everyone ( no stopping that kid). This is going to be a long month, of being lonely and having no one to talk to. When i left last night i didn't cry but i catch myself today feeling like i really need to, im getting all that pressure in my head. I need myself a good cry, but took some meds instead for the throbbing pains... But i did wake up to a very nice text message saying how much i was missed already. Made me miss him way more!!! Day one down only the whole month to go :(..............

5 Days in counting...

I think this training is getting to both of us. He's started thinking about being gone for a month and its stressing him out. Stressing the both of us out..... I'm so tired all the time and been feeling like crap and so has nevaeh, she has had a fever the past day or so. Today nothing so far, I'm just hoping it doesn't turn into anything big where we have to go sit at the er for 10hours just to get seen. The baby got her 1st half of her flu shot and so far so good. The doctor was telling me that i could do a walk in for my old one and I'm not sure if i wanna go or not. But it needs to be done sooner or later, i just hate the kids being sick. Makes me crazy i can't stand it and I'm worrying so much that i makes myself feel sick too. I'm not sure how many times i woke up last night because i thought the girls needed me. The baby was just turning every 5Min's waking herself up and i was just hearing things when i thought i was hearing nene.

I was telling The hubs I'm sure i will sit inside for 3 weeks, till my sister gets here. he's just worried about me getting some stuff done before he gets back. Ill i can say is i don't wanna do it by myself and it turns into something big, he don't want to come home from a month of training then have to help me pack and have yard sale. Well guess what I'm not doing i all by myself, he's making me feel like shit for wanting him to help me. Yes i know he will be back from a month of training and well its not my stuff its our stuff, I will do some but not all. I don't even know where start, we have so much stuff. I'm pulling my hair out over nothing i bet just need to let everything fall in to place. Because right now all i can think about is taking a nap, when there is all kinds of stuff i should be doing. But hey i gotta take care of the little ones that don't ever let me get anything done now days.

The baby goes to a skin appt with a new doctor tomorrow, fingers crossed it goes good!

(The appt went great and her skin is looking great!)

Gone for the month!

Oct 3rd The hubs will be gone the whole month, for training... Time is going way to fast and it don't feel real. I mean i don't feel like he's really going back over there in about 2 months. I must be out of my mind to do this all over again right? But i know i can do this, what doesn't kill me will only make me stronger (Right?). So we finally got our leave dates Nov 21st to DEC 6th, thanks for not telling us a week sooner. Now we have to go to us airlines and have them change the dates on the tickets from the 4th to the 6th. Good thing its free with orders to changes the dates or we'd have to pay 150! < --- no thanks!

I'd have to say the only good thing about Oct is my sister coming. She left her car with me well her and her boyfriend moved to the virgin island. She'll be coming to get it, drive it to port and ship it over. I'll have her for a whole 12 days, i can't wait. Will be taking the girl to the pumpkins patch..

I'm starting to think that my husband thinks I'm going to be doing all the packing. He hasn't asked about packing again and we haven't packed anything since we packed all the stuff on the walls. I hope he knows ill be waiting till he gets back to do it then if that's the case. We still need to have a yard sale, he makes it sound like if we don't do it by tomorrow ill be doing it myself when my sisters here. There is still so much to do and everyone has been having BBQ so nothing is getting done. We need to talk about it all this last week, because when he get back Oct 31st will be here 3 weeks and all kinds of stuff needs to be done.

ahhhhh i just keep telling myself everything will be get done, take it all one day at a time!

I found a blogger that makes super cute clutch wallets and bags.... Here's a link to a gave a way she doing!

Sea world!

So this weekend we went to sea world and i'll have to say i had an awesome time. Nene loved being able to wake around and look and touch everything. She was such a good girl and had a great time.

I had no idea that everything was going to be so hands on... Nene loved it! Funny thing is she wanted to touch it so bad that when she did her foot went in the water and the jumped back so fast. But wanted to go back for some more...
Im so glad we got to do all this has a family, this day made me so happy... To make a long story short, it took 4 and half hours to get there , we got in free and had the best time ever!!!

The picture packing break down!

Yesterday we pack everything thing on the walls up. Im talking maybe a 100 pictures frames, they were everywhere.
This is about half over them. It took over 4 boxes to pack all them up and there about 10-15 that didn't fit in boxes.

I started in the living, i was pretty excited about getting things moving and packing stuff. With the hubs, that is i didn't wanna do it all by myself. But the more pictures i took off the walls the sadder i got. The hubs went down the street to get news paper and little by little i could feel the tears coming on. I was looking at all the pictures as i was taking them off the walls, remembering all the great times. Soon as the hubs walked in the door i couldn't hold back anymore.... He looks at me and say whats wrong, i couldn't talk i just started balling. He's like whats a matter? I told him everything is more real when i have to take my pictures off the walls. i love seeing our pictures every day and i was not happy taking them down. i cried a good 15Min's and the hubs just hugged me. Of course you know i had to tell him how unfair it was that he was going again and that i was going to miss him so much.

The past couple weeks i been watch him with the girls and how they love him so much. Thinking about him leaving again breaks my heart when i think about the girls wanting him and him not being there.

I'm sure i'll have alot more sad days of packing and getting stuff ready for my husband to leave once again for a another year.

But know this i will keep my head high for me and my girls.

New Project....

OK so today im going to share my next project, this is just sneak peek. I won some Chore stamps on ebay and im sure you can see where im going with this. Today im just going to show you guys the stamps. When i put it all together i'll show you how i did our chart.
