Given that Cristines birthday is coming soon- I thought I would post this:
Ty and I had told her to go in the computer room to wait for a few minutes while we discussed her birthday- this is what we found on the camera as a result.
This is what happened when cristine's friend came over to play- they once again found my camera ;) I do think that she has some potential - don't you?
I found some beautiful cherries and peaches for a really good sale at the store- I hate to pay anything when I know there are soo many at home on the trees in my parents backyard- but I do what I "Can" (pun intended) ;) Didn't they turn out sooo pretty? I canned 21 jars of cherries and 4 jars of juice, then I canned 9 jars of Peaches and 12 jars of Peach Jam- I had a LOT of peaches left over- but ran out of jars ;) Go Me! (and thanks Ty for putting up with the mess). Those scrumptious treats are marshmallows covered in chocolate (safe of course) and then roolled in pretzel crumbs- with a pretzel as the stick WE THEN FROZE THEM! (thanks Liz for the idea ;) ) They were soo yummy! The kids devoured them before ty had a chance at one. We also used the leftover mallows and pretzels (we ran out of chocolate) so the kids could get "creative" with their breakfast- Cristine made necklaces- Brooklyn made people- and tanner was content to just eat. Everytime my kids go through a diet change 0 I also have to change my recipes- from gluten free diary free- to gluten with dairy- to now gluten with no dairy. So I now once again created a new bread recipe- and I think this one is the easiest I have made- and I use it for everything from scones to bread, rolls, buns, etc...I am also getting better at couponing- I'm not where I want to be yet- but still learning. There are a few pictures of the stuff I got and my receipts for such...there was a lot of didn't take pics of though -altogether this (paycheck) time I have saved so far 480.59.

those look scrumptious! What is "safe" chocolate is one of you allergic. You look happy and healthy it's good to keep in touch
Cristine is so adorable. She's as much of a camera ham as some of my nieces. You are doing an amazing job with couponing and canning. As always, I really look up to you.
Awesome job with the coupons! Isn't it addicting? It's crazy how much money you can save! Nice work!
