Silly People

If you've ever wondered where I get some of my silliness from, look no further...
Here's how this "photo session" went:
(1) top left
Me: "Hey! you guys match today! let's take a picture. you both go stand over there."

(2) middle left
"Ha Ha, very funny grandpa..." (he was facing backwards)

(3) right
"Ok, ok, turn around!" (notice they both did)

(4) bottom left (needs to be seen up close for maximum enjoyment)
Grandma keeps Grandpa in line.

Miss you two!!

The Future Hope Project

Some of the moms in my MOPS group raised money to put together packages for something called the Future Hope Project. It's a very simple, straightforward way to provide new mothers and their babies with basic supplies during their first days and weeks together. It's an ongoing need so I hope to put more of these together in future months too. Thanks to everyone who contributed!

"Attention Target Shoppers"

In the past couple months I've been trying my hand at saving money on groceries with coupons. One thing that's made my efforts so effective is sites like "Attention Target Shoppers," which is a blog by a lady who writes about the best Target deals of each week, pointing out available coupons which are usually combined with sale items. Because of sites like these, I saved over $50 on my last Target visit! I am excited to continue this trend!

Red, White, and Blueberries

It's the time of year when the schedule is filled to the brim with blog-worthy happenings--so much so that the actual blogging about said events is falling by the wayside! Ironic. I can't wait to share pictures and stories about everything as things settle down after this weekend. Hope you are all enjoying the beautiful summer weather (except for you Nat, since it's your winter there Down Under) and living life to the fullest right now, just like we are!

Happy Canada Day (on Wednesday), and Happy 4th of July today!
