Will's new way of using the potty. Whatever works I guess.

Thanksgiving Baskets

We decided to make thank you baskets for all of Mark's clients this year. They included goodies like, orange pocorn, chili mix, acorn shaped pumpkin bread, snack mix, toasted peanuts and other things. After 2 days of cooking Shawna and I had everything complete. The baskets looked wonderful and everything tasted amazing. Will and I decided to deliver the baskets on Monday morning. Everyone was so excited and thankful. It went so well, we plan on doing it again next year.




Happy Thanksgiving

We hope everyone had a nice holiday. We spent Thanksgiving here in Norman by hosting the event at our new home. We had great food, family and friends! I hace posted some photos from yesterday...love you all.
Almost done!

I folded 25 napkins...and they look stunning long side Mark's Great Grandmother's China.

Look at all this food. Leftovers are GOOD!!
More chairs.
After a long day my baby was tired.

Coupons, Coupons Coupons

Some of you may know I have started couponing...I say it like it is a sport. Well it kind of is. Sundays I have been clipping all the coupons and filing in my little file system. I think I am ready to move up to a bigger file...I am so proud. Ok so I clip my coupons and watch the ads, basically Homeland since they double coupons, and save save save. Here is what I picked up that Homeland this week.

(Note the Picture is lacking 3 boxes of cereal I didn't get out of the cabinet for the photo)

8 Boxes of Chex Cereal (great for the Holidays and Party Mix) (Each box $0.84)(Retail $3 a box)
2 Boxes of Bagelfuls (Candice's new breakfast) ($0.39 a box) (Retail $2.39 a box)
2 Progresso Soups (Don't remember but cheap)
2 Instant Potatoes ($0.50 each)
2 Pasta Dishes ($0.39 each)
1 Reynolds Turkey Bags ($0.39)
1 Bottle of Garnier Shampoo + Conditioner (FREE)
2 Revlon Nail Clippers (Both FREE)
1 Can Organic Tomato Pasta (FREE)
1 Can Organic Diced Tomatoes ($0.23)
1 Box Kotex Liners (FREE)


Grand Total: $13 and some change. (That includes tax too) Yeah!


Everything we can use now or store until we can use it. The cereal will be gone in no time and the shampoo is a great addition to the guest bathroom. I really feel I am helping Mark in these tough times to save a little money! Anyone can do this, it is so easy. http://www.consumerqueen.com/ has helped me through it all. So everyone save your coupons and use them, it WORKS!
