So I had planned to blog about my life and adventures cooking and being a housewife. That has not worked very well since school began. Work has been kicking my butt and I have had very little time to blog let alone spend time cooking or even spend time with my husband. Anyway, enough of that before I start ranting and raving about how teaching sucks right now...
After a few light frosts and a heavy one our garden took a dump... It was great while it lasted!!
Well I have been doing some cooking and baking here and there. As far as baking goes I have made Pumpkin Bread, Banana Bread, Pumpkin Spice Cake, and Pumpkin Cookies (not at the same time - over the past few months). I have also made some different jams as well; Strawberry-Cranberry, Cranberry-Banana, Blackberry-Apple, and Mixed Fruit (Strawberry, Banana, Mango, Pineapple, Blueberry). Beth and Debbie also came to NC for Thanksgiving so we had a feast to eat!
Chris has bought 2 go-karts and sold them after playing for a little!
Chris has found a tricycle under his great uncle's house... you should really check the video out on my Facebook page! It is pretty hysterical!
Following Beth and Debbie's departure Chris and I got our very first Christmas tree! This will be the first time we will spend at home in NC. It has been nice having our own tree and lighting it up every night while we eat dinner and watch TV. One of these night we will pull out a mattress and sleep in front of it!
In the past few months I have also become quite the coupon addict. These are some of my bargains from today:
Rite Aid - Amount paid = $1.92 + $3.00 off next purchase.
Walgreens - Amount Paid = $10.76 + $3.00 Register Rewards.
Harris Teeter - Amount Paid = $22.36 - It includes the bag too!
You could probably say I am obsessed with couponing. But hey, it works! If you have the time and need to save money it is definitely worth it!
