What's on my mind today....

Well, I worked through my lunch helping another dept so I was off work and hour early, pretty cool. By the time I ran a few errons, came home and unloaded I was not home any earlier. So my list of things to accomplish is...
Get ready for a meeting with a photography client
Edit photos, uploade photos,
Make 2 storyboards
Work on Garrett's baseball photos, ( I did a special shoot of G in his All start uniform and I have intentions of doing a gallery wrap!!!) It will be beautiful.

Oh and then there is the house list,
I am decluttering and organizing and then I will be able to deep clean!!! I am still in the kitchen and have one big cabinet to do and a few drawers and I am done.

So, I can't finish this post without a photo and I am going to spare you a photo of my broke dishwasher and dirty dishes!!!

So I have decided to show you DH chasing the cows... they keep getting in the yard!!! So far they have gobbled up two bags of dog food and left a lot of POO around the yard and in the GARAGE!!!!

Bargains!!! and baby birds....???....

Look at my "bargains....for other great shopping tips check out Chris's site, she is such an inspiration!!!http://www.chrissgooddeals.blogspot.com/ She also has some great tips for success on bargain shopping, I love that she is also a local gal and we can see it and believe it. (Read the rest of the post below...silly blogger, I still can't finagle it very well.



Hi, I know it's a strange header, have to boost readers somehow...lol... So today is Wednesday and that means Hudson's Grocery has their banannas on sale for 19 cents a pound. Talk about a bargain!!! What do I do with so many??? I peel them and freeze them and make fruit sorbet, drinks, mix with yogart ect... or just eat plain or frozen. My dh loves them and they are great to keep away leg cramps. While I was picking up my fruit I checked some prices to use my new coupons but it was not as good as deal as I could get at Walmart comping so I held off. I did pick up a pack of meat that is marinading for dinner, we are doing k-bobs on the grill tonight. They also had washington red apples for 2.99 for the bag, Dole salad mix 2/$4.00 and vadalia onions .59. Not a bad savings, but wait till I go comping and couponing at the Walmart. Stay tuned for the bargains!!!
NOTE***** If you have any great money saving tips, couponing, websites ect.... please comment or send me an email. Golly, even if you don't have a tip, leave a comment anyway and let me know I have at least one reader???? :0) I lost most of them when I got so behind, now it will be hard to buid back up...




So are you curious how baby birds come into play? Well, I went outside to the freezer in the garage to get chicken for the k-bobs and I remembered the mama bird made a nest in a box of books. So I peeked and she was not in the nest. So I ran to get my best friend and took some photos to share.




Have a blessed week,


Until next time,


Have a great day,

Look at the book I found.




I am not a reader for enjoyment, only knowledge!!! But this little book caught my eye and I could not resist buying it after I found out the setting of the story. It's called " A Page out of Life" A scrapbooking novel by Kathleen Reid. It is about a group of scrapbooker's and how scrapbooking is like thearpy for the group of ladies and the adventures that are happening in their lives!!! The back reads....When frazzled mother of four Ashley Gates lets her best friend drag her to a meeting of the lacal scrapbooking club, she's amazed at the way old photos and mementoes can bring vivid color to spepia-toned memories. Included in the story line is a college student searching for love, a semi retired teacher that has a son in a corporate scandal in a small town. Then there is Ashley who copes with her husbands love for her that fluctuates with her weight.




I have not started reading on it but can't wait!!!!!!




If anyone has read this please post about the book.




Have a great day,


Tracy

It's a happy day in the neighborhood....won't you be my neighbor.

Okay, so I am reminisint of Mr. Rogers.... I used to love watching his childrens show and it did not matter how old I was. I wish their were more show like his that our children WOULD Watch!!!


So we sat at the ball fields yesterday knowing we were playing a power team.!!!!!! We were like their 50th game for the season and had been practicing since February. They were our 3rd game and we started last week. We did not get slaughtered though, I think the All Stars held them well. We lost 10-0 and it poured on our boys but the did not give up and hopefully they learned something. We held them to the 5th inning until they scored the 10 point run rule, so that is worth noteing.


Luck for the team parents, we went to Walmart the day before and bought a canopy to sit under...boy those come in handy for hot sunny days. We have several more tournaments ahead of us to get use out of our canopy. It was so fun for all of us to be huddled un it together. Really it was. Us moms chatted, laughed and cheered on our boys. We were pround no matter what the score, the weather or who was winning. We love our boys. Our parent shirts should be in by wednesday, we can't wait to match our boys....


As soon as I get the pictures loaded I will post.


You all have a fantastic day.


P.s. I have news..... I have been working on my photography website!!!! Yes, finally I did it. I also ordered business cards. I will post when it is ready to show.


Have a blessed day,

Tracy
