Please let Stacy or myself (Jacque) know if you are able to attend so we can have an idea of how many will be attending.

FHE Treat Swap! 7:00 pm

Ok, so I'm bored this week and looking ahead to how much Todd is working next week doesn't allow for much light to be at the end of the tunnel. So, tomorrow night, after your FHE with your families, come on over to my house with the family for a little FHE Treat Swap. Bring a plate of goodies to share and we can let the kids play while we talk.

Coupon Class!

Tomorrow morning April 17th at 11:00 am we are having a coupon class at the church. They will also be talking about planning menus and making job charts. There won't be a class on those subjects but some materials will be available.

Hope to see you there!

someone's in my house!

Hi there ladies!
So I thought I'd give you a heads up and let you know that my brother Mitch and his girlfriend Shalecia have moved into my house in Clearfield. If you want to stop by and say "hi" or anything, I'm sure they'd appreciate it. I'm also posting to see if anyone would be able to help them find a job in the area. They have minimal education but are both willing to work hard and everything. I know Shalecia was looking for a job as a cashier at Winco (still has an interview for Provo) but would appreciate any help for this area. Mitch has been doing lots of manual labor types of jobs, the latest being working for an excavator. Anyway, if you have any information or leads I can pass onto them, I'd really appreciate it! I'm really excited about them living in my house, but I REALLY want them to be able to pay rent! Thanks Ladies!

By the way, I'm doing great. We're settled into our small house, but it is really nice. There's something nastalgic about living in an old house in an old area. My boys really love being near the river trail (just 1 block away) and then about 1 mile either way to a park. What could be better for little boys, a walk with a party at the park! Hey, if you're interested in checking out my personal blog just email me and I'll send you an invitation (mncopfer@gmail.com).

Much needed GNO!

So it has been a long time since we have posted a GNO on the blog. Some of us have made it out but it is time for a big crazy night of fun!! Here is what I am thinking. Let me know if you can come or a better idea/time.

Thursday April 15th

6:00 pm to the morning!!

Bowling and dinner at Bajio or Iceburg

Who's in??

Just a reminder that everyone is welcome. Pass on the info to anyone that you want. Try and comment if you can come and let us know if other people are coming. I added anonymous comments so you can give anyone the link to the blog and they can comment and say that they are coming too. Just want to make sure everyone feels welcome!!

Freezer Dinner Party

Okay so I was talking to some ladies at RS last Tuesday about freezer dinners. Sooo I was thinking that we should have a frozen dinner party and I will host! I've looked it up online and it looks like a lot of work but fun and in the end we will all have dinners ready for those nights we don't feel like cooking! So if your interested let me know! I guess the easiest way to do it is we all bring our own meat and then you are assigned a meal and you bring the supplies for everyone for that meal!

GOOD BYE!

So hurry ladies we are heading out tomorrow night at 8 to Olive Garden to say good-bye to our Melissa. I hope to see you guys there!!

Grocery websites

Ok, well I've been talking with some of you and you've mentioned websites that help with couponing. I know about Alice.com, Bountiful Baskets, Coupon mom and pinching your pennies.

I was wondering if anyone knew of some other websites to help a frugalista out. Jacque I forget what website you mentioned. If anyone else uses a website let us know. I love the websites that list the very best deals at all stores. Pinching your pennies is good but it's hard to navigate and there is so much info that I feel like I'm searching all day long for the stores I go to and products I buy. I'm looking for an easier website.

Thanks,
Tana

Pampered Chef party

I have a pampered chef party open for a couple more days, if anyone wants to order anything just call me and we'll get it in. (801) 678-4262

Accidental background!

Okay so I feel pretty stupid. I was looking at my blog and decided to change the layout. I took forever doing changing the color of text etc. Then big and proud I turned to my husband and said look what I did honey and he looks at it and then say "Hanging out with friends?" what's that? I flipped I changed our friends layout to a boys themed background. So as I rushed to change it back I couldn't remember what the heck it looked like to begin with so I took it upon myself to pick this new girlie tweenie layout...hope it makes you smile!

Grab your walking shoes!

Hey Ladies,
I am going to sign up to walk in the March of Dimes walk on May 1st and I'm looking for any others who may want to join me. The walk is free to join and you have the option to donate money or try to get others to donate it. It's only three miles and you can bring your strollers and kids if you want...I think it is encouraged even.
I tried to do this last year but it landed on the only day we had to come in and tear out carpet before we moved in and also it was pouring rain. So this year is the year I want to actually do it.
Let me know if you want to join me and I can tell you how to get signed up. Also, get your sisters, mothers, brothers, fathers, cousins, uncles, aunts, grandmas, grandpas, husbands, in-laws and friends to join us!

Reward

Soooo, I think we should get a little reward for those of us that still check the blog. I mean really how hard is it ladies!! Anyways. Let's go out. Something fun. Anyone interested in something other than dinner? I have been itching to go rock climbing??? I think just us ladies that have stuck it out!! Who is in?

Three barrel curling iron?

So tonight I have a hot date. (yeah that's right I said it) Does anyone have a three barrel curling iron that they wouldn't mind me borrowing for tonight? I've always wanted to do my hair that way but no one in my family has one or has ever used one. I wanted to go to DI today to see if they had a used one, but I think the chances are slim and I am not able to leave the house today (too many kids, too few carseats and seats in general).

No worries if no one has one. Does anyone have any other ideas of nice ways to do hair for an evening out?

Thanks,
Tana

Close your eyes Stacy!

I just thought you all needed a little "sweet" laugh to help get you in the mood for Valentine's Day! Hope you can handle it!

Questionair

So I realize that every time I post on this blog that I am asking for your help. So I thought maybe this time I would try something a little more fun. A little something worth reading (you may or may not agree). I enjoy getting to know you through silly things like this so just smile and participate!

1. What are three of your favorite t.v. shows.

2. What are three things you do every night before going to bed.

3. What is one goal you made for 2010?

4. What are two things you are notorious for?

5. What is one hobby/talent that you consider yourself interested in? (I did not say good at!!!)

Have fun! I'll let someone else pick 5 other questions for the next post.

MAgazines

Does anyone stock pile on home decor magazines that I could borrow. I need a thousand ideas before I can decide what I want to with my home. If you want them back, I'll be happy to return them. But if you have a pile of magazine subscriptions that pile up, I'd love to take a peek at them before they get recycled. Thanks.

Do you have what I'm looking for?

So - since you're all just sitting home hanging out... I need you to check around your house for a couple of items. First I need a men's xl coveralls suit that I can borrow for a few days. It has to be pretty clean (not a ton of stains).

I also am looking for kids pants that have back pockets and are no longer usable that I can cut up for a project I'm working on. It doesn't have to be jeans, but the heavier material would be better.

Thanks ladies!

Need a babysitter for V-Day?

Hey Ladies,

Valentine's Day is coming up soon! I thought I might just throw out there that I'll be home that weekend without the hubby so if you need me to babysit for you so you can go out, I'm here. Maybe we could trade so that during the next week when I will have my hubby we could maybe go on a date too.

Or, if you are home alone too, you could come join me for a good chick flick or something. Just let me know!
