Saving Memories with Mommy Dollars

Yesterday, while my 3 year old son was at preschool, I was filing new coupons in my binder and taking out all the expired coupons. I put all of the expired coupons in a pile on the floor and didn't have time to clean them up before he got home. When he got home he was highly concerned that "Mommy Dollars" were all over the floor! He ran to the kitchen to get baggies to put "Mommy Dollars" in! It was the most adorable thing ever! I just had to share it with you!

Saving Memories: I've Been Tagged!

Okay, Becky, over at Nickels-N-Dimes Tagged me, now I have to find people to tag, I sooo don't know that many bloggers!

1. Emma Louise at Coupon Savvy- she's the one who made my cool Saving Sherry avatar!
2. Katie at Cincinnati Cents- I don't know her ( Hi Katie! It's nice to meet you!) but I hear she's a fellow CincyMOM.
3. Lori at Samen Lori's Life- she helped me out with some info about the K-Mart and Old Navy deals.
4. Andrea at Mommy Snacks- fellow CincyMOM and actually lives near me!

7 Random and or weird facts about me. . .

1. I went to Marshall University, you know the one with the movie, and while there I met future NFL football players! I talked several times with Chad Pennington and I literally ran into Randy Moss on campus one day. I'm pretty sure my nose was in his belly button! He's REALLY tall!
2. While in high school I told my parents to hit me if I ever thought about dating anyone like Rob; then I married him.
3. My degree says I'm a music teacher.
4. My grandfather's uncle was a mechanic for the Wright Brothers (I think it was his uncle, could have been cousin or something else.)
5. I left my coupon binders at K-Mart during the last Super Double sale and I almost had a heart attack! My husband was worried I would wreck on my way back to get them!
6. I have a pool in my back yard, but I very rarely use it. If it weren't for my husband swimming in it several times a week it would just sit empty. (Except for the water, that would probably still be there. . . )
7. Here is a list of the MAJOR moves I've made in my life, starting with where I was born: Indiana, North Carolina, Indiana, Kentucky, West Virginia, Ohio, West Virginia, Ohio, Ohio.

Okay, now off to tell everyone they've been tagged!

Saving Memories

Yesterday my baby became a big boy. You are looking at the school bus as it took my baby off to preschool. He was excited, mommy was sad. I guess that's how it always will be, I'll want to keep him little and he will want to grow up.

I'm taking comfort in Ecclesiastes 8:9 "what has been will be again, . . .there is nothing new under the sun" to remind myself that I am not the first mommy to ever put her baby on a school bus.

I am anxiously anticipating hearing his first "Mommy!" when he gets off the school bus and gives me a big squeeze, but until then I have other children to raise and other memories to save.

Happy Savings!

Saving Memories

Well, I am sad tonight. My baby turned 3 this week. Okay, my oldest child turned 3, but still, he's my baby. It's amazing how fast his life has progressed. He is an amazing child and I can't wait to see the amazing man he will become. . .but, for tonight I will miss the stages past of nursing, learning to crawl and walk and that first amazing smile. I will enjoy all the "squeezes" and kisses and the all "I love you Mommy"s I can get, for I know this stage, too, shall pass.

As always, Happy Savings!
