Dr. Evil is his name
I should of known better that when I convinced the boys to get their face painted at our school spirit night that this other personality "Dr. Evil" would appear lol. Andrew did NOT want to get his face painted he was absolutely positive NO fun could come of it. Boy was he WRONG. After much poking that he should go get a goatee (his fathers idea) he decided to do his OWN thing lol. Boy was it a lot of laughs.

Laundry Anyone
For the last several months I have been supporting Etsy members and buying deliciously smelling laundry soaps that were home made. Well since I am doing laundry daily and what always seems like a 24/7 cycle I decided to save me some money and the anticipation of having to wait on the mail man I would make my own! I gathered up all the ingredients and yesterday I bought scented oils so my next batch I can try and make nom nom smelling. The detergent works great! And it works out to be about .01 cent per load! Can't beat that now can you!
Recipe:
1 cup borax
1 cup WASHING soda
(not baking soda!!!)
1 bar of fels Naptha soap or Ivory
some ingredients
Finished product
No its not macaroni noodles (Erin)
or Frosted flakes (Vanessa) lol. You take the bar of soap and you can chop it with a food processor OR you can grate it. Being I no longer own a processor I simply just grated it.
and in the washer it went

Disney Sneak Peek
Our Oldest
Where does the time go? He is so handsome
Caleb looking so sweet
Miss Elora our Spunky one
Two posts in one Day
=Just a little sharing going on=
I made some soap scrubbers for Mark to try out for his deployment. If they work out he can take a few to have at some luxury items when he is gone.
Trying this out with a Dennis Anderson home made soap scented in a Chai tea
the soap actually in the scrubber

It's been a while
Yup it has "truly" been a while since I last posted. Looks like October of LAST year! Wow! So much has happened since then. Lots of change in coming in this New Year. Sadly we are already into March 2011. Nuts huh! On our list of things happening...
-Birthday season is quickly arriving starting with mine...
March 22nd- moi
April 4th- Mark
April 9th- Elora's turning 7 *WHAT!!!!*
April 28th- Caleb's turning 9 *yikes*
May 17th- my Mom's
June 10th- Andrew's big 11
I have a few tricks up my sleeve for Mark's birthday none of which I can reveal here on this blog, but be on the look out for some pics when the time arrives.
Back to my list of things going on this year!
- Mark is deploying to Afghanistan in September of this year. He got his official IA orders and definitely not looking forward to him leaving for 350 days. It's quite depressing really.
- getting our 4th bedroom turned into a Guest room rather than the shameful messy room no one is allowed to see.
- Spring pictures of the kids and soon family pictures.
- Mark's Mother coming to visit in July for a while.
- Mark's birthday surprise
- 12 yr wedding anniversary in August
- I was elected VP for our school's PTA for the up coming 2011-2012 school year (yikes)!
- Going on a birthday get away with just my hunny!
- Going on a week long anniversary get away (destination still unknown - we haven't decided exactly where we are going ALONE but talks of Key West have been mentioned).
- Lots of weekends to Orlando to use our Disney World Passes and Universal Studio passes!
- Maybe heading to Tampa to celebrate a sweet little girl's birthday.
-Spring break relaxing and having some fun, oh and LOTS of sleeping in!
- Bestie coming to stay with us before she moves to VA.
- Thanksgiving in VA to visit the bestie and her handsome boys
since her husband will also be gone.
- Picture opportunities in VA with the one and only thing I missed- their fall season. Beautiful.
- Working on getting better at portrait photography
- Christmas with my husband before he leaves officially.
- Christmas with my Mom to help the holiday go a little quicker.
I'm sure there is more but not that I can think of right this second. I need to figure out how to resize some pictures to post here since we just did a great week long Disney World Vacation.
Until next time-
Much Love and happiness,
Michelle

Halloween is upon us!
Yup Halloween is coming up quick. It is my favorite time of year and Holiday but this year just feels off for some reason. I think this year feels "rushed" not sure why but it just does. On base they moved our trick or treating day to Saturday October 30th which might be why I feel rushed partially. So since on base we are trick or treating on Saturday we are going out into town for a little bit on Sunday and trick or treat for a little bit =) Lucky kids this year (have to look at it positive right?). I feel like a donkey today. Didn't realize the character parade was starting right at the beginning of school so completely forgot my camera and my phone so no pictures of the kids at the parade...It just isn't like me I know but what can you do. I wasn't feeling well last night and trying to recover from it today. But I do have a pic of the treat bags I did (well one of them)! The kids looked super cute today in their costumes and I will get pictures when they go out tomorrow!
Until next time, be safe & many loves and hugs!

Coupons
I do realize I might just be talking to myself out here in this blogger world. I don't mind obviously since I do keep posting and updating, but whatever.
Coupon-ing has become my new addiction. It's always thrilling to see that you can save a mere .55 cents on some deli meat, $1.00 on tortilla's or toilet paper. I have notice though if I really go through the coupons and go through our local grocery stores and take the time I do save up quite a bit of money. Paying full price is a thing of the past these days. My last grocery shopping trip alone I saved almost $20. I got everything I needed for 12 meals, breakfast, snacks, & dessert included for less than $100. It was GREAT. Nothing like seeing your grand total keep shrinking and shrinking down.
In today's paper there are a couple good coupons. I was mostly looking for deals on point and shoot cameras now that mine is DEAD (read previous posts for that rant). There was a $25 off coupon for a sonicare toothbrush which I am thinking might go lower in price for black Friday this year. This coupon is good until January of 2011 so I'm pretty sure I can find a good deal by then. If not then some lucky person will find my coupon on the shelf at a random store. There was a free KFC sandwich if you buy a 30 oz drink from them. Will be lunch some time this week, love getting free food lol.
Have recently discovered that the commissary does indeed change their prices almost daily and its much more beneficiary to shop on the OFF weeks of payday cause most of their items are significantly cheaper!! For instance I bought a couple boxes of cinnamon toast crunch, it has become a staple in our house the last month or so since I keep getting this great coupons on them and then combine it with the military store coupon and get a box for less than .75 cents a box sometimes even cheaper. Well I shopped the "off" week which is about 5 days after pay day. I got the boxes for $ 1.69 a box. I then went back 2 days after pay day and they wanted $3.00 for that SAME box, I wasn't paying that price not when I paid $1.69 before the coupons. So again I waited and sure enough on day 6 at the commissary they were once again $1.69 on the shelves. I have been paying a little more attention and this goes for quite a few of their items if not all. Now that they have switched to electronic its hard to keep up with all their price changes but I think its bogus that they do that to our service members and their families. But like many others I will continue to shop there to get the most out of my money simply cause I can get it cheaper than anywhere else. Okay that is it for now. Much Love, laughter, & snuggles.
