<p>This was posted on a coupon website that I visit and I ordered one for myself because I needed a bag to house all my coupons.  WOW.  Can I just say how TOTALLY impressed I am?  Not only is this bag completely adorable with its brown and polka dots&#8230; but it has some MAJORLY sturdy construction and POCKETS!  My one argument with the LLBean Boat and Tote&#8217;s are that that you have to pay EXTRA for pockets.</p>

He will run to the car and help me carry in the bags, help me stack the items for a picture and then ask&#8230; &#8220;mom did you get all this for $10?&#8221;&#8230; I was SO happy to tell him that the following load cost $3.18 OOP and I got $3 back in a catalina for my next order at Meijer!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So&#8230; this summer I have charged myself with not ONLY couponing until my eyeballs pop out (or my scissor hand seizes up) but to find some cool stuff to do with the kids for FREE!!!</p>
<p>So&#8230; here is my running list:</p>
<p><span style="font-style: italic;">Explore the PARKS</span> in Lexington.  In our &#8220;dumpster diving&#8221; adventures we have found some pretty cool parks in CLOSE proximity to our house!  So our goal is to explore them all this summer!  For a complete list of Parks and Recreation Parks and Activities go <a href="http://www.lexingtonky.gov/index.aspx?page=198">here</a>.</p>
<p><span style="font-style: italic;">Utilize my PARENT&#8217;S pool</span>!  Yes&#8230; we could pay for pool passes- which are only $50/ per person / season or $160 for a family pass but my parents have a NICE pool with a slide for FREE!  Yes&#8230; its a little longer than the drive to Southland but for FREE its worth it!</p>
<p><span style="font-style: italic;">Poolapalooza </span>- Southland Pool kicks off the Season on May 23 from 12-4 pm.</p>
<p><span style="font-style: italic;">Bowling at Collins Bowling Centers &#8211; Kids bowl FREE all summer!</span> ( I heard this on TV or radio or something&#8230; I need to call and confirm the details!)</p>
<p><span style="font-style: italic;">FREE Movies at Regal Cinemas in Hamburg</span>.  That way if someone has to pee (which they inevitably will, or starts screaming (which SHE inevitably will) I don&#8217;t have to feel guilty about paying so much money!<br />Schedule of movies can be found here:  <a href="http://www.regmovies.com/nowshowing/familyfilmfestivalschedule.aspx?state=KY">Regal FREE Movie Schedule</a></p>
<p><span style="font-style: italic;">Kids EAT FREE &#8211; saving MORE money eating out!!!</span>  YAY!  Most Kids eat free nights also have activities to go with them!  Our favorites are:<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Chick Fil A </span>- Every TUESDAY 5-7 at Turfland, Nicholasville Rd. &#8211; Thursday 5:30-7 pm, and Hamburg every 2nd and 4th Monday from 5-7 pm.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fazolis</span> &#8211; Every Tuesday &#8211; Kids Meals are $0.99<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">IHOP</span> &#8211; Fridays -Free Kids Meal &#8211; 4-10 pm<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Tony Roma&#8217;s</span> &#8211; Tuesdays ALL DAY &#8211; 2 Kids eat free per 1 adult entree</p>
<p>See the complete List of Kids Eat Free Lexington Lists <a href="http://kykidsdirectory.com/kids_eat_free_lex.pdf">here</a> and or Louisville Lists <a href="http://kykidsdirectory.com/kids_eat_free_lou.pdf">here</a>.</p>
<p><span style="font-style: italic;">Two For Tuesdays and Kids Place!</span>  I don&#8217;t know if this will continue through the summer but if so it will be great for Rainy Days!  Two for one admissions to <a href="http://www.kidsplaceadventureplayground.com/">Kids Place</a> on Tuesdays!    Also you can download GREAT money saving coupons on their website!</p>
<p><span style="font-style: italic;">Participate in the Summer Reading Program</span> at the<a href="http://www.lexpublib.org/"> Lexington Public Library</a>.  Usually, once completing the program you also receive tons of FREE coupons to local places like <a href="http://www.explorium.com/">Explorium</a>, the zoo etc.!!!</p>
<p>and many more!  If you know of something else fun to do for free (or cheap) please feel free to email me so we can enjoy it too!<strong>Recent Comments:</strong>

<p>yeah&#8230; it took me 3 trips into Kroger to get it all because my buggy literally would NOT hold it!  I think the boy who was checking me out was thinking&#8230; who on EARTH is she buying this for?!!!</p>
<p>I still have to go to Meijer and burn up my expiring Register Rewards from the WAGS Meter deal and to Target for their weekly freebies!  Ugh more shopping&#8230; I mean YAY!!!!!!!</p>
<p>I truly have to say that I feel that coupons are SUCH a blessing to us.  I have saved an unbelievable amount of money since I started &#8220;couponing&#8221; and with us trying to become debt free it really is going a long way.  I cannot imagine walking into a store now without coupons.  I cannot imagine paying $7 for RAZORS like I used to.  That is $7 that I will gladly spend on my paying down debt and on teaching my kids how to be THRIFTY and SAVE money!</p>
<p>I am also truly blessed to have so many great blog readers who send us coupons every week!  It just makes my day to open the mailbox and see those envelopes!  When our mail comes stuffed full of bills and medical notices those are like little pieces of mail chocolate!  LOL</p>
<p>A few weeks ago I got an ENVELOPE&#8230; it was huge and heavy and I thought&#8230; hmmm&#8230; I opened it to find a STACK of full inserts from the Sunday paper!  One of my clients&#8217; Engagement pics had run that week so they had purchased extra papers and I was the beneficiary of the coupons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I cried.  Literally.  Thanks Alex for making me cry!  I have the BEST clients/friends in the WORLD!<a class="imgcenter" href="http://family.kentuckystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/blogger/IMG_6314.jpg" rel="lightbox[5941]"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 320px;" src="http://family.kentuckystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/blogger/IMG_6314.jpg" alt="" class="aligncenter" border="0" /></a><strong>Recent Comments:</strong>

<p>In honor of the fact that today is CARDIOLOGY day&#8230; Echo, EKG, labwork&#8230; the whole shebang, I thought I would participate in a Mr. Linky!  Our bloggy friend <a href="http://www.youandmeplusthree.com/">Crystal&#8217;s daughter, Bentley</a>, will be undergoing Open Heart Surgery at the end of May.  PLEASE visit her blog and be sure to pick up a bracelet to support them!  I know what a financial strain these kinds of things can put on you&#8230; (trust me I MAY own my kid before she goes to college&#8230; sigh.).</p>
<p>A few FANTABULOUS things I found when surfing Etsy the other day&#8230;<br /><a class="imgcenter" href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=22523351"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 311px;" src="http://family.kentuckystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/blogger/monkeyshoes.jpg" alt="" class="aligncenter" border="0" /></a>OMG&#8230; Have you EVER seen anything as cute??? Strapped flip flops WITH MONKEY RIBBON?!!!  be still my heart&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..  Visit <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=7030610">Ava&#8217;sLovelyShop on Etsy</a> to buy.</p>
<p>Or this&#8230; monogrammed pillow:</p>
<p><a class="imgcenter" href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=vl_other_2&amp;listing_id=20186524"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 298px;" src="http://family.kentuckystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/blogger/monogrampillow.jpg" alt="" class="aligncenter" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6790513">BunnyBowsShop on Etsy</a> created this adorable little personalized monogram pillow.  Soon Ross and Ky will be moving into a shared room to give Owen some room to have a private room for homework and un-interrupted sleep when he goes to school.  I managed to find some GREAT thrift store finds (or mom did) with green gingham Pottery Barn kids stuff.  I had thought of having the duvet cover&#8217;s monogrammed with the kids name, but being the ever thrifty one&#8230;. decided that was not good for resale value!  LOL  So I thought&#8230; cute throw pillows and poof&#8230; I found this!  In the right colors this would be adorable!</p>
<p>And what would ANY post be without and adorable dress????</p>
<p><a class="imgcenter" href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=vl_other_1&amp;listing_id=24647976"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 343px; height: 400px;" src="http://family.kentuckystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/blogger/monogramdress.jpg" alt="" class="aligncenter" border="0" /></a><br />This one is made by the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=47488">Adorable Me Boutique on Etsy</a>.</p>
<p>or two&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230; LOL</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Troy and I had a mini date night last night.  My little sis, Tara and her roomie, Joel, came to watch my kids.  It was nice to be out on a week night when restaurants are not PACKED.  We had a TGIFriday&#8217;s FREE coupon that I needed to use- <span style="font-style: italic;">Thanks to Melissa in MO- a blog reader who mailed it to me!  I had seen the Q&#8217;s a while back but didn&#8217;t print and when I went back to find it&#8230; couldn&#8217;t!  Was so glad she sent it along with others!</span></p>
<p>After that I wanted to stop at Walgreens.  I knew that their clearance aisle was stocked with tons of razors and deodorant that would be FREE with my Q&#8217;s and I was RIGHT!</p>
<p>I got:<br />(3) 2 packs of Old Spice Deodorant &#8211; $2 each &#8211; (3) $1/2 Q&#8217;s = <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">$3 for 6 sticks of deodorant or $0.50 each!</span>  Those were promptly sent to my DAD!<br />(4) Got2B Styling Products &#8211; <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">2/$10 &#8211; $5RR = 2/$5 &#8211; (2) $2 Q&#8217;s = $1 for 2 products &#8211; $0.50 each</span>!<br />(2) Bic Soleil refills &#8211; <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">$2 each &#8211; (2) $2 IP Q&#8217;s  = FREE</span><br />(1) Dr. Scholls for Her &#8211; <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">$2 &#8211; $2 Q = FREE</span><br />As filler I got a <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Salt Grinder- $0.70 </span>and a <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Pepper Grinder for $0.50</span> &#8211; YAY!

I was tickled pink with all the laundry stuff for so cheap!  We got through so much of this that anytime I possibly can&#8230; I stock up!  I counted and in one week I did 17 load of laundry.  And I have a front loader- trust me I LOAD that bad boy down&#8230; like 22 towels per load!  So&#8230; I am not scrimping on the loads either!<strong>Recent Comments:</strong>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What a day for a SALE!  I didn&#8217;t really do a huge amount of advertising as the yard sale was last minute but I did put an ad on CL and good signage and here at the blog of course and WOW&#8230; I was so impressed and TOUCHED by so many who stopped by.  We had a PLETHORA of the NICU staff from KCH come by.  Many of them remembered Kyleigh and I only vaguely remember those days &#8230;</p>
<p>It was a GREAT sale and I am happy to say we can pay OFF one of our smaller CC with the proceeds!!!!  Answered prayer?  I THINK SO!!!!!!!!!!!!  We still have an inordinate amount of STUFF left so I am listing a bunch of our bigger stuffs on CL this week and will be ebaying some of the better clothing.</p>
<p>I truly want to THANK everyone who came out and made this a GREAT sale for us!  It was a long tiring day, I slept 13 minutes last night, I am sunburned with a nice stack of cash ready to deposit and start paying off debt!  It hard to watch some of the things go but like our life, we are moving onward and upward!</p>
<p>The highlight of the sale was getting to love on <a href="http://bmcmcr.blogspot.com/">Miss Caitlyn</a> for a bit!  She is the cutest little chunky monkey!!!  Love her heart she is so cute!  Her mommy got to shop for a bit until my Santa Claus dad scared her!  Caitlyn and her mommy are bloggy friends but a IRL friends too.  Caitlyn had a colostomy for a bit right after she was born and we were able to help them out with some technique- god knows after almost two years of a colostomy we HAD the technique!  LOL</p>
<p>Another amazing blessing was having SO many nurses and KCH staff stop by!  People who remembered Ky from the NICU and I could barely remember them!  I found myself nearly in TEARS many times!  Its so cool that our hospital staff continues to rally around us no matter WHAT the need!!!  You just don&#8217;t find that everywhere!</p>
<p>We also met a new friend who was sent to us by <a href="http://eyeonthebaby.blogspot.com/">Becca, Ben and Olivia</a>!  They are evidently friends (or family maybe) who live here in Lexington and they stopped by to score some boy&#8217;s clothes!  I wish they had had more time to stay and look but hope they will come back another time!</p>
<p>So&#8230; thank you again to all who stopped by!<strong>Recent Comments:</strong>
