Save some money???

Ok so I've recently become a coupon dork. I used to think I was money savy,but now I really am. I am a faithful user of grocery smarts (great free site-leave comment for more info) and am saving tons of money. But not only do I use this site, but I'm reading several money saving blogs. Last night I was reading one ( http://www.beingfrugalisfabulous.com/), and found another great site for digital coupons. What are digital coupons?? You go on a website and register your Smiths/Vons card and the website saves to your store card coupons. There is no work in redeeming the coupons. I now have 3 sites that I use for digital coupons (http://www.cellfire.com/affiliate/fullpage.php?cf_tlc=cxr, http://www.pgesaver.com/Sites/PG_eSAVER/Page/HomePage, http://shortcuts.com/). When I use these coupons, it's like a fun surprise at the register, because I often forget which digital coupons I have. Even better, you can use a manufacturer coupon and a digital coupon! Happy savings!!!

Where has the time gone???

So my little man is already a year old! Tanner's birthday was Sept. 8th and we had his party on the 12th. I can't believe how he's grown over the last year. He is very independent but knows that he still needs mommy. He is walking and talking like crazy. It seems as though he is interested in anything "big boy". Yes, he crawls a little, but he always wants to do what big boys do. He won't eat baby food because he has to feed himself. He transitioned from formula to milk over night because formula is for babies. He even tries to walk in the store without holding mommy's hand (that hasn't worked out so well for him yet). I just love to sit back and watch him. He is amazed at almost everything and smiles all the time. His favorite words this week are "go" and "ow". He wakes up in the morning talking and amongst his Tannertalk is "go". He also pokes his finger in his ear or to his head and says "ow" over and over. He cracks me up.

Last week, Tanner had his first unofficial ride in Daddy's 4-wheeler. Ben needed to move his 4-wheeler from sitting the garage to sitting in the garage on the trailer so Tanner rode with Daddy onto the trailer. I was very nervous and yelled at Ben the whole time to make sure he was holding Tanner. Ben showed Tanner the throttle and told him "go". So my brilliant son kept pointing to the trottle after the bike was off saying "go, go, go". Ben tried to convince me that meant Tanner is ready to ride, I didn't agree.
