Coupons, that is. (Ha ha, I bet you thought I was getting something awesome like a car!) I was clearing out my expired/about-to-expire coupons and I noticed that I had lots of high value coupons that expired today. So I got out my Walgreens circular and matched up sales with coupons. I am finally able [...]
Miss Petrie is a dental work veteran. At five years old, she’s had 13 cavities and a cap to replace her front tooth.

My mother-in-law, G, made Miss PD a gorgeous quilt for her first birthday. The girls will share a room in the near future and I want to use this as decorating inspiration.

For Miss Petrie Deux and my dad’s birthday party, I made chocolate chip walnut cookies as party favors. I spent a very cold afternoon baking a mountain of cookies. I baked over 100 cookies. I wrapped two cookies in parchment paper, then tied the package with jute string and a tag stamped with “Celebrate the [...]
The bulk of my reading has been for my class, but I don’t think I’ll tell you about that! Last week I finished Book: Mockingjay Pages: 390 By: Suzanne Collins Opinion: Wow, Katniss totally surprised me in this book. If ever there was an apocalypse, I’d want her on my side! While reading this book, [...]
