Super Savings...Tuesday

4.14.2010

Well folks, I'm finally starting to get good at this! Here's my loot after a trip to CVS and Target:


And the final tally after coupons, ECBs, giftcards, & mail-in rebates (drumroll please):

$7.88!!!

Can you even believe it?!?! This is becoming quite a pastime for me.

The Cottage

4.02.2010

I'm sorry that I've been MIA for so long! Oh the busyness - how I get caught up in it! I suppose I'd normally say "such is life!", but I don't want to lean into that statement any longer. Thus, I'm dusting off the 'ole blog with this new post!

Today the weather is crazy beautiful. It's around 80° on the first of April - and no, that's not an April Fool's joke. It makes me feel more alive when the sun is shining and I can open up our windows to get a fresh breeze blowing through our house. Despite any uncertainty I'm currently facing, today I'm glad I'm alive.

Even moreso, this weather gets me SO excited about going to the cottage!!! The cottage is owned by Seth's parents and it sits on the edge of Hemlock Lake in southern Michigan. It's a place where we can relax to the max. Seriously. These are things I LOVE about going to the cottage:

running to "Strawberry Fields" by Coldplay on the backroads
playing in the lake
making & eating delicious meals (food always tastes better at the cottage)
playing cornhole
boat rides around the lake at dusk

Other things I love: laughing, not having an agenda, afternoon naps just because, making s'mores over an open fire, etc., etc. And the list could go on. Here's to hoping that we get a summer trip to the cottage on the books ASAP!!!
