Yo Gabba Gabba Live!

Last night we took Finley to see Yo Gabba Gabba Live. As DJ Lance says, "It's AWESOME!" Finally...knowing all the words to the songs and all the dances came in handy :) Joey and I enjoyed as much as Finley did. The intro was great! There was music, streamers and confetti, lights, kids smiling and yelling, balloons dropped from the ceiling, bubble machines...plenty going on onstage and in the audience to keep Finley engaged. She didn't take her eyes off the stage. Her favorite part was when we did the dancey dance and when the balloons came down. I highly recommend this show. So. much. fun. Here are some pics and a video of the intro just in case you're wondering what it's like.

Publix trip!

I didn't have a great Publix trip today. I rushed planning my trip and had to go back to get things after I had already been rung up and I forgot to get bananas which are Finley's favorites. Finley was playing in my purse this morning so when I went to pay I had no cash because she took my money envelope out of my purse. Ugh! There wasn't a whole lot I needed which was good because the deals this week weren't great for me. Everything I bought was either on sale or had a coupon, but not everything had both. I spent $36. 58 and saved $21.96. When I don't have a good trip I try to remember that I'm still saving money so I shouldn't be disappointed. Here's what I got...



We are so excited about taking Finley to see Yo Gabba Gabba Live tonight!!!

Punkin' Patch!

We headed over to Tate Farms in Meridianville this afternoon to go to the pumpkin patch. They had a hayride to the pumpkin patch, a corn train, a cotton jump, swings, slides, a petting zoo, a corn maze, an antique fire engine and lots of other stuff. We all had a great time! I actually want to take Finley back this year. We got a late start and got there an hour before they closed. Here are some pics of my little punkin'.

Bear Grylls is HOT!!!

The article above is short and to the point (bullet points actually) about how many fruits and veggies we need to be healthy.

I just got back from a Juice plus conference and it was amazing! I learned so much about family nutrition! Bear Grylls and Dr. Sears were there and let me tell you, Bear Grylls is even hotter in person. He is also really humble and down to Earth. Several women fainted when he told us all he enjoys soaking in a bubble bath ;)

Since I started taking Juice Plus...
- I have noticeably more energy
- My mood is better
- A cyst I've had for almost a year is almost gone. Two rounds of anti-biotics couldn't get rid of it.
- My complexion is better
- I don't get as many headaches or stomachaches.

I wish I could tell what it was doing to the inside of my body because I know it looks good. People in their 40s, 50s and 60s who develop cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease didn't develop it overnight, ...it started when they were OUR age. Kind of how all the time I spent in the tanning bed may come back to haunt me. It doesn't matter that I don't do it anymore...it matters that I did it from age 16 to age 27. The damage is done!

I want to be around for a long time so I am going to start taking better care of myself through what I eat. I'll only have Wendy's once a month ;)

Publix trip!

I went to Publix this morning. I did pretty good despite the fact that I bought several B1G1 items but had no coupon. Since I'm still stockpiling, I had to buy a few things that were not on sale. I spent $66.30 and saved $76.61. Here's what I got...

10 bags of Green Valley Fresh Steamers veggies
2 bags of Fresh Express bagged salad
1 box of Glad kitchen trash bags
1 3ct. Glad reusable containers
2 Martha White muffin mixes
1 box Ziploc storage bags
1 carton of Yoplait kids yogurt
2 bags of Kraft shredded cheese
1 carton of Philadelphia cream cheese
2 packages of Kraft sliced cheese
2 canisters of Pillsbury crescent rolls
2 boxes of Muellers Angel hair pasta
2 Marie Callendar's frozen entrees
2 loaves of Pepperidge Farm Farmhouse bread
1 box of Klondike Heath bars (bad)
1 box of Klondike Oreo ice cream sandwiches (very bad)
1 package of Lender's bagels
1 bottle of Crisco cooking spray
2 bottles of Sweet baby Ray's BBQ sauce
2 packages of Hillshire Farms smoked sausage
2 4 packs of Green valley Giant canned veggies
2 boxes of Cheerios

I HEART PUBLIX!

Stockpilin'

I went to CVS today and I did pretty good! I spent $32.37 and I saved $36.11. My stockpile is starting to look really good :) I got everything pictured above plus a deoderant. If you get a chance you should definitely get to CVS for the Purex 2 in 1 laundry detergent. It's B1G1 free and there is a $3 off coupon in the paper. Get 2 of them and it makes each one 99 cents. That's 64 loads of laundry for $1.98!!! The sheets are for HE washers too. I'm headed to Publix tomorrow!

Have I mentioned being an hour and a half from Bham is MAGNIFICENT?

We went to Bham this past weekend because Joey went to out of town for a golf trip. We got to see almost every member of our family! It was great! We watched the Alabama game with my cousins and their families, we visited my dad, step-mom and evil step-sisters, we saw my mom, my sister and Joey's parents and just before we came home we went to watch Finley's cousin Anna Grace cheer on the Oak Mountain Eagles so we got to see Aunt Laura and Drew too! We are so glad to be back home with Joey and ready for a busy and fun week!
