She is getting so BIG!

MY baby is now 8 months old! I still can't believe it... Here are her 8 month pictures. Took them today! Enjoy!

Bread

Fresh bread.... It the first time making homemade bread. I thought it would be hard, but really it was quite easy. And it has to be healthier! I will be making it from now on though. The kids gobbled it up!

I used one of the rewards last night for diapers.
Plan on using one on Friday for another deal. Buy the venus razor at 9.99 Have 4.00 couponand get $6 register rewards. Plan on doing this with 2 oreo cookies at 2.50 a piece and getting 3 register rewards for that. So I will spend 10 in rewards but getting back 6 and having the razor and cookies.
I also will be getting some wipes to make up another deal. Oh what fun. Haha.

New compost!

Well DH finally got my composter together. He basically just built a frame and then attached chicken wire to it. He also put chicken wire on top of the bottom of the frame for air circulation. I already put some scraps and grass clippings in it. Cant wait to see what it ends up doing!

I also got most of my veggies planted. I just have to go buy some broccoli, zucchini and sweet potato seeds. Oh and my Watermelon has started to sprout! So exciting! Will take pictures and post them later!

On another note: I am into couponing now lol. Today will hopefully (if mom decides to go with) be my first trip to get some great deals! We need diapers so I am hoping to get some for little or no money. I will post later on what I bought and how much I spend etc.

For now...
