O.K. so I have to share. Since the beginning of the year. I have been really trying to shave down our food budget. I was introduced to a web site www.fistfulofcoupons.com. I really didn't know if I could stick to a food budget, we were spending between $500 and $600 dollars a month. As a Mom with young kids you gotta feed them, I really didn't know how these other Moms were spending only $200 a month for a family of six.
Now I am still not that good. But I have been hovering right at $300 a month since January, and have been able to build a food storage, and have tried some products that I would never have bought before because they were to expensive. The picture of this shopping trip above cost me $12.93 and I got coupons back for 3 gallons of milk for free and a $5.00 coupon to spend the next time I shop! It has been (dare I say) fun, to shop at the grocery store and kind of a rush at checkout. I am insane I know it.
I also must say that it hasn't been a beeeze, and it does take time and brain power to make it work, but this web site and tons others really take out a lot of the work.

Crazy HAIR Day!
Crazy hair day at Cottonwood Elem. is highly popular at the Smith house. I had to work this particular morning so Dad got to help the kids hair get crazy. I am sure that in the future they will ask Dad for help again.
Let's go fly a kite
On a windy day, in late March we gotout our kite and took it flying right outside the house. The kids had a great time. 
This is Lilly's scary face.
Gotta love country living. No power lines.
