FREE Stuff I got this Week!!

It seems like since I have been using coupons seriously (since Sunday) that is all I can do.  It is so much fun to get free stuff using coupons.  I mean why pay for something when you can get it for free?  So what exactly have I got for FREE this week?

A Busy Sunday

Abby's 1st Birthday Party yesterday.  There were 38 people here to celebrate our little girl's birthday (Our house felt very small at that point).  Thank you to everyone who showed up, it meant a lot to us.  Abby had a great time.  I think she truly enjoyed herself.

We (Abby and I) woke up exhausted this morning.  (Jake had already left for work.  He only gets to go to church with us 2X a month.)  We were up and ready to go to church, but Abby was so tired, I decided she could stay home and take a nap.  And boy did she ever, she took a long 4 hour nap.  I watched Extreme Couponing last night and it got me motivated. While she was sleeping I started looking at some of the couponing blogs I am a fan of on Facebook.   My mother-in-law introduced me to couponing.  I tried it once in awhile and was happy with what I saw, but I had never done it like these people on TV.  I don't know if I will ever do it to that extreme, but I am definitely changed for life.

I had to go to Wal-Mart to buy a gallon of milk because Abby is officially off formula.  While I was there I thought I would try some deals I saw online.  The Athenos Greek Yogurt is $1.  I printed 2-$2/2 coupon from $2.00/2 – Athenos Feta, Hummus, Baked Pita Chips or Greek Yogurt – (bricks.coupons.com) making the yogurt free.  The Tuck's Take Along Wipes were $2.78.  I printed 2-$3.00/1 – Tuck’s Take Along Wipe – (bricks.coupons.com) making them free.  (Actually Wal-Mart gave me back $0.58)  The Reach floss is $0.97 and I printed 2-Save $1/Any Reach Floss making them free.

 

Needless to say I was very excited to walk out of Wal-Mart with more money in my pocket then when I went in.  ~Samantha

      

WELCOME to my blog....

I have decided to start a blog to have something all my own.  As a wife and a mother that can be very hard.  Don't get me wrong I LOVE being a mom and I love my husband dearly, I just need something for myself and that is what this blog is for. 

I am married to my high school sweet heart, Jake.  We have been married for 5 1/2 years.  I love waking up to this man everyday.  He works very hard so that I can stay at home. I am so thankful that he chose me to be his wife.

I am a Stay-at-Home mom to my beautiful little girl, Abigail.  Most of us call her Abby, or Baby Abby, or Abby Cakes, which ever you like you can use.  She has brought the most joy to my life then anything else. I love being her momma. 


What are you going to get out of this blog if you read it regularly?  Well, I'm not sure.  I'm sure you will read about life, most of the time it's not that exciting, but then again, the blog is entitled Livin' the SIMPLE Scrappin' Life.  Another thing that you will be sure to read about is my favorite hobby - scrapbooking.  I am really a beginner at this, but I love it.  I will also post some great deals that I find, because staying at home means being frugal.  ~Samantha
