Valentines Day 2012

I must say this was probably my most favorite Valentines days, EVER! I had two Valentines (Chris and Marcus, of course!) and I spent the entire day with my little love and then had a wonderful evening here at home with both my boys. Holidays are pretty low key with a baby but that's just fine with me! I made a delicious dinner that consisted of; Shrimp Fettuccini Alfredo, Lobster tails, Garlic Bread, Peas and for dessert chocolate covered strawberries and a bottle of wine (we saved dessert for after little man went to bed).

Chris got me the diaper bag I've been drooling over:

Its funny, I've traded in my coach handbags for diaper bags! I wouldnt have it any other way. I got Chris a box of his most faveorite chocolates and his watch polished and fixed since its broke a few days ago. All in all it was a great day!
I hope you all had a wonderful Valentines day! I'm going to leave you with a super sweet photo of my little man and his gf Olivia, they are the cutest couple!
Photo taken by my most faveorite photographer and bff; Kathleen!

Love,
Chris and Katie

Saving Money

Saving money has become a hobby of mine since little man arrived, I mean who doesn’t like to save money?!? Chris and I set some pretty large goals for ourselves this year (getting into a house is #1!) so we are doing anything and everything to save money where we can. Coupons! I have no idea why everyone doesn’t use them, its like free money. I was so proud of myself last week with the money I saved us that I had to share. Now, I’m not going to bore you with the grocery items but you have to check these out..

　
DIAPERS! These things add up quickly. A fellow mommy from the August mommy group that you have heard me talk about before sent me some Huggies coupons, I was out early the next morning to take advantage of this amazing deal!

Now, we are typically a Pampers family (soon to be a cloth diaper family) but I couldnt pass this deal up! I got 206 diapers for $10.37 thats a savings of $48! Holy smokes!
Now brace yourself for this! I got this Little Tykes Police car (for little mans first birthday) for only $11. 56!



I had a $50 off a $50 or more purchase from JcPenny's! I spent more on S/H then I did on the item! I cant wait for little man to spend many hours playing with his new car in the next couple years.

Love,
Chris and Katie

Just a reminder to myself...

Love,
Me!
