Extreme Couponing

So I have heard of these crazy couponers before and now I get to watch them on TLC (only an episode or too because I just felt like it was the same thing).  After watching the show I thought hey maybe I should try and coupon now that I am home with AJ.  I thought about ordering the Sunday paper, went to a few how to extreme coupon websites, and then my reality set in....ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND...

Yes, I would like to save money but here is why you will not find me clipping coupons:

1.  SLEEP (the only thing I really like to do while AJ is sleeping, sometimes sleep wins over taking a shower so there is no way that couponing would win)

2.  Do I really need 500 packs of anything?

3.  This would mean I would do all the grocery shopping, no thank you (for those of you who do not know me I am the very fortunate wife of a husband who loves to cook and does the shopping too, luv you honey!)

4.  Having to go to different stores to shop the sales.  Right nowI can hardly squeeze one store in before it is nap time again it would take me at least a week to complete a grocery list

And Finally #5

5.  Sleep (I think I mentioned that before but I really like my sleep and it is hard to come by these days)

My hat goes off to those of you who do this kind of couponing, but I have decided to not watch the show and be OK with not saving the money  :)

And on that note I am now going to sleep for the rest of AJ's nap.

It is so much fun feeding and making her food!  I think AJ likes it too!  

The Summer Heat!!!

     So when AJ was born it was too cold to go for walks.  We waited until it was a little warmer, bundled her up, and off we went.  Then spring came and it soon became Mommy and AJ's favorite past time.  Now the middle of summer is here and the heat is taking away our walks.  Mommy can handle the heat (in fact I love it because I am always cold in the house thanks to Daddy's AC settings), but AJ cannot.  I started noticing some heat rash in the creases of her arms and legs.  Nothing major but decided that AC is the best place for AJ right now.   AJ must take after her dad when it come to temperature control.

    Any suggestions on how to beat the heat?!  I feel like it is winter all over again cooped up in the house.

Looking forward to the fall (who would of thought I would be saying that),
