I'm Back!

Have you ever heard people say that they need a vacation after their vacation? That's me! We had a blast but, vacations can seem so crazy too. I'm glad to be back home saving money instead of spending $$! Everytime I go on vacations I seem to come back feeling guilty about the splurge. I seem to think of the children with no toys as we play at Disney or the people with no clean drinking water as we splash in the pool. Am I crazy or do these things pop into your mind? I'm so grateful for what we have!

Frugal Friday Homemade Easter/Spring kid stamps

I'm a craftie ( Is that a word?) at heart. I love making things with my hands and love to do kid crafts with my son. One way to keep my son interested in crafts (He is almost 9)is to come up with messy and crazy craft ideas. Here is one frugal craft we enjoy!

Potato Stamp

large potato
kid safe knife
washable paint
some sort of paper
small Easter/Spring cookie cutters

Cut potato in half. Place cookie cutter of choice on inside of potato(white part). Cut potato around outside of cookie cutter so the cookie cutter design pops up. Ok you are ready to put paint on your design and start stamping! Check out http://lifeasmom.com/ make your own instant oatmeal idea!

Bag N' Save Deal 4/7-4/13

There was a $1/1 coupon in the 3/7 SS or you can head over HERE (back button to get 2 coupons)and get a .75/1 coupon when you register with Mission. You might want to print it soon b/c these coupons go fast. During the week 4/7-4/13 there is a Bag N' Save coupon B1G1F on the Spring Savings coupon magnet that was in the mail. You can use the 2-.75 coupons and the B1G1F Bag N' Save coupon to get a great deal! I find it hard to get a deal on tortillas and we use a ton around here. Just giving you a heads up!

FREE energy milk at Hy-Vee

Hyvee shoppers can head over HERE to score a free coupon for upbeat energy refresher milk.

Eskimo cookies

These cookies are so yummy and kid-friendly! My son made these for Christmas and they went fast!

Eskimo cookies

1 stick soft butter
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup sugar
2 TB cocoa
2 cups oatmeal


Mix all up in a bowl. Roll into balls. Roll in powdered sugar. Place in fridge til' cool. All done. They kind of look like snowballs:) Check out others ideas at http://lifeasmom.com/.

FREE Organic cereal at Hy-Vee

I went to Hy-Vee today to get some more of the Hy-Vee deal I posted. While I was in the organic section I also seen Kashi Vive cereal marked down to $1.00. That is a great deal but, using $1/1 Kashi coupon made these FREE for ME! I refrained from grabbing them all at the price of FREE! I have never tried this flavor of cereal before but, we do love Kashi around here.
You can call your local Hy-Vee to make sure they also have this HOT deal. I am thinking this type of cereal might make some really great homemade granola bars:)

Ultimate Recipe Swap Homemade Noodles

One memory of when I was little that has always stuck in my mind were the times I shared making homemade noodles with my mom. I'm not sure if it was the fact that she would let me unroll the noodles or how great they tasted in her Chicken noodle soup.

Homemade Noodles

2 eggs
2TB water
1-1/2 cups of flour
dash of salt and pepper

mix it all together, roll out thinly on a floured surface, roll up like a pumpkin/swiss roll, cut into 1/4 inch noodles, then unroll, let dry for 3 hours.
I always place in boiling chicken broth so they don't stick together and cook til' they are not doughy. These noodles can be frozen also and tooken out when needed.

Baby Freebies

I know alot of couples that are pregnant right now. Congratulations! We must get bored in the winter around here (hehe). Anyways if you are expecting a lil' one check out these freebies BABY FREEBIES.
