Coupons ROCK!

It is triple coupon time at Harris Teeter again!!!! I bought quite a few extra newspapers in preparation, my friends and I had a coupon swap (and playdate for our kiddos) and thanks to my friend Julie who made an awesome spreadsheet I saved so much money and got more stuff than I know what to do with!! I LOVE it!! Watching your total go down at the register as they scan the coupons, honestly is such a thrill! My first trip started out at $55.28 and after coupons...I paid $.81 cents!!! Over all, after 7 trips to the store yesterday, My grand total is $404.53, and out of pocket I paid $58.99!!! How awesome is that!!!??!









Here is a picture some of my shopping....40lbs of dog food, veggies and meats are not pictured...oh and dog and kid not included! hahahahaha! I should have taken a picture of all of it, but I had to get the ice cream and stuff put away and it is too much of a pain to put it away and drag it back out again just for a picture.

Gem Mining

Over the weekend we went to Chimney Rock, NC and visited some gem mines. It was so much fun. Caydence absolutely loved finding the gems (rocks) and playing in the water. We found quite a few pretty gems and got to bring them all home.
At the gem mine
Caydence found her first gem! Look at her excited expression!

The 4th of July

Caydence and Mommy were in the Hickory Grove 4th of July Parade! Caydence decorated her bicycle and rode in the parade, Mommy just walked along. We joined our friends Steph and Hannah, and we had so much fun, even though it was very hot!!!

Here are 2 cute video clips of Caydence riding her bike in the parade
