I used to be the person who had it all.  The new car, the big house, the white picket fence (er… chain link fence)… I used to think that having and doing is what made you a “success” in life.  I was the person who had a NEED to achieve and accomplish anything that I [...]

I posted this on my facebook and for the sake of saving my aching fingers I am copying and pasting most of it.  If you read it there… feel free to skip it here!
Yesterday was another “fun” day in Cincinnati. We had a day full of VCUG, Renal Scan, labs and appt with Dr. Alam. [...]

okay… so it is official that I stink at updating the blog anymore.  I promise to get better.  Can I make that my POST New Year’s Resolution?  LOL  At any rate… the last two weeks have been CRAZY to say the least.  It feels like it has been months but it’s only DAYS instead.  So… [...]

I have to say, I LOVE me a mommy blog or two (or ten… heck lets be honest.. my google reader at least 20!) and all the time I get the question…..
How do you FIND these deals?
While I like to think that I, in general, divinely inspired, my coupon deals (blessed as they may be) [...]

Yes…. the first snow of the season!!!  It came EARLY this year!  Normally, its well into January before we see any kind of accumulation.  The kids were, of course, elated and DYING to go outside.  We obliged since it was 30 something (thus their poorly dressed status!)….

Owen was Student of the Month in December.  He was so happy… also happened that Chloe was the girl student that month… go figure!  LOL  Thanks Ms. Withrow for saving us hurt feelings and a spat on the bus!  Owen had come home every single month complaining that he was not student of the month [...]

Yes, right up there with toothpaste and shampoo for me is Magazines.  I had NEVER had the luxury of having magazines around the house except the free ones the companies give you when you are pregnant, UNTIL I started couponing!  NOW…. my bathroom racks overflow!  I can remember my friend Ali, saying “You PAY for [...]
