It's never ending around here!!!

I've never been one to pretend like everything is perfect or even put up a fake front. LIFE IS HARD. And I'll say it. I think I have done a fairly good job at staying positive with everything going on, but I don't pretend it's perfect. Sam was in an accident yesterday. THANK HEAVENS we are covered and don't have to pay anything out of pocket unless we actually fix the truck. (Probably not going to happen unless he decides to donate plasma to pay for it.) ;)

We still are waiting on financial aid so here I sit on eBay to put gas in the cars, food on the table, and toilet paper....well you know. The bills are begging for that check. But I can make a dent here and there when I sell.

I am so thankful for my coupon, bargain and selling ability. It has saved us. A silly hobby has turned into a much needed skill.

But IT's OK! We're ok. Some days are hard and others are REALLY hard and then some days I think I am the most blessed person alive.

We do have a crazy schedule and barely survive the week but that's ok. There is ALWAYS going to be someone better off and someone worse off. No matter where we get in life. I just am choosing to take it one day at a time.

I'm so glad to say I am done with Christmas and this year again I did it for free. It's VERY VERY VERY small this year. I am just glad to say my kids will have something and it's one more thing off my shoulders.

I mean how could you be depressed or down when you see this everyday?

First PBJ and she wondered why we have been holding out on her!

Check out those cute cowgirl boots we scored for free!!!

Only 2 gifts away!!!

from being DONE with christmas and I did it for FREE again!!!! So glad to check that off my list. One of the last ones is BYU bedding for Henry. I am hoping that when my mom gets here in December she will just be dying to help me(aka do most of it) with it! Than I will be DONE!!! Yay!!

Creativity in all aspects of our life!

We decided to get domestic today and make some cupcakes to take to our friends in the neighborhood. Henry's had to stay home since he was licking all of his mess ups straight off THE cupcakes.

I went for a run today and left Sam with the kids. These are the things that happen while I am gone...

She climbed in to get the frosting knife...

1 wild baby + 1 dad left to watch her + 1 rope + 1 dad wanting to work in the garge = disaster waiting to happen!

Trying Christmas for free again this year!!!

Why not, add someting else to my plate. HAHA. But, I can't spend money that we literally don't have this year so I've started my free christmas challenge. Click over on fancy mommies blog to take a look. The link is under that cute baby on the right.

Is it a laugh or a cry?

Mom and Daughter date!!

Sophie and I see pretty little of each other these days. So today we ventured out for some time together. We took all of our coupons, freebies and gift cards and had a blast. We got a couple christmas presents with our freebies, had lunch and ended the day at Krispy Kremes for our free half dozen.

Sophie was in AWE and can't wait to work there when she turns 16. HAHA!

Lucy fully enjoyed the end result. Her first Krispy Kreme!!

This baby is drunk happy on Krispy Kremes.
