In conjunction with another mom, I will be giving a lesson on couponing (sure it's a word!) to the MOMS Club in January. I am really excited to be able to share one way that Stay at Home Moms can contribute to the families finances - because a penny saved is a penny earned!
Today at Walmart I found a few baskets of Halloween clothing on sale for 90% off. So, I dug through and found 3 petticoat skirts that rang up at $.50 each. The girls were so excited to have new dress-up clothes. They would have made great Christmas gifts had the girls not been with me while I shopped. But since they saw them, and since they were such a steal, I let them have them and they spent the rest of the day wearing them pretending they were princesses.
Speaking of deals, have you seen the last page of the Shaws Flyer for this week? There are some serious deals on right now so if you haven't been yet, you have until Thursday to get in on the action!

Julie & Julia
I just watched the movie Julie & Julia which was a movie that I thought I would like but it wasn't something I thought I would love. Boy was I wrong!! That movie ranks right up there with other movies that I love to watch over and over including Pretty Woman. I am not sure what part of the movie I loved the most. I really loved watching the relationships between Julie and her husband versus Julia and hers. I was in tears when Julia got the letter from her sister saying that her sister was pregnant. Was Julia Child really as fabulous as this movie portrays her?
When I was a child, my Grandma Cardwell always had the cooking shows on the television on weekends and I loved watching Julia with her. Cooking is always something that I have enjoyed but I can't say I'm even very good at it but for a few of my favorite recipes. At first this movie inspired me to try all kinds of new recipe's. Unfortunately that feeling melted away quickly when I realized that it took me more than 3 hours to watch a 2 hour movie because of all of the interruptions from children needing potty help, snacks and what have you. So instead I decided to go with the other inspiration which is to resume blogging.
Still, I wonder if I can find that yummy beef stew (boof borgois is how she said it LOL) recipe??
