Big Girl Bed

Last weekend we moved the computer from Adrian's room to the kitchen to make way for my old twin bed that my parents gave us. We wanted to get her used to sleeping in it before the baby comes so she doesn't think the baby is stealing everything from her. She's slept in it since last Saturday and has done really well with it. I thought for sure that she would just get right out of bed and play around rather than going to sleep. We just need to find some bedding to match the wallpaper and the crib, so no pictures yet.

Back to Scrapbooking

I was really good at digitally scrapbooking Adrian's pictures when she was a little baby, but I have been seriously slacking lately! I had some free time this afternoon so I decided to try to get some done.

Boring Day

This is what I've accomplished at work today...



Very productive you can see. I think we are pretty much set on the name Carly, but the spelling is still up in the air. I really like Madison too, but it's a little too similar to Adrian. Then there's the middle name, which is almost harder than the first. We want it to have meaning and be a relatives name without being to much of a mouth full.

Saving Money on Groceries

So I have been using the Pinching Your Pennies blog for a guide as to what's on sale each week, but I just found an even better one! myfoodstoragedeals.blogspot.com and you can print off the lists at myfoodstoragedeals.com. They do charge a small fee, but it includes a meal planner for the week that corresponds with what's on sale. I just started the free trial, so we'll see if it's worth it. There's also a great article about how to use Walmart's price match policy so you can take advantage of sales all over the county at one store.

Costumes

I'm excited for Halloween this year! Adrian will actually know whats going on more and I know she'll love to dress up in a costume. My aunt gave us a whole bunch of her daughters' clothes after the last one grew out of them and there were a couple of costumes too. She'll either be Marie from the Aristocats or a witch.

This is what I found today online for me. I thought it was pretty cute, it's too bad it won't be a full-size pumpkin!
