Coupons




Okay so i told my sister in law Chablis I would do a post on how I organize my coupons. I hope this helps Chablis and if you have any questions you can call me or email me. I got a binder with a zipper and got lots of baseball card holders to put in it. You will need some sticky tabs to separate each thing. For example I did Breakfast, condiments, baking, snacks. I'm sure you get it. So every Sunday I get 2 Daily Heralds and 1 Salt Lake tribune. I don't know what you would get though. Each week there are little packets full of coupons. They are called Red Plum, and Smart Source. I just cut out the ones I want and then I put them in the category I have for them in my binder. So when I get the adds for each grocery store in the mail I go through that and pick out the things that are on sale and then use my coupons for those items. I have all the coupons ready to go before I go to the store so im not taking forever looking for the ones I want to use. I also take my binder with me in the store just in case I see something I want and I have a coupon for it. The trick is to only buy the things that are on sale and get as many of them as you have coupons for, that way u stay stocked up on everything. It does take a few months to get really into it and to get a lot of coupons so don't get frustrated. Oh ya to get a lot of good deals I usually go about once a week to the store. I usually spend around 30 to 50 every week.
Oh ya there are also places online to get coupons and that is coupons.com

Camping for the 24th!






For the 24th of July we went up to the Uintas with Russ, Jamie, Pat, Rinda and all their kids. Zoe was in heaven because she was able to play in the dirt all she wanted and their were lots of kids to play with. She kept following all the older kids around. She likes to watch how they play. She had to wear a helmet while four wheeling. She liked it for a minute but then threw a huge fit and didn't want to wear it anymore. Thanks Jamie and Russ for inviting us, It was a blast!

Swimming!




We went to the new Lindon pool with Jen, Keishawn and my mom. Zoe had so much fun. Keishawn was so nice to Zoe and shared his popsicle with Zoe.

Campin in Payson Canyon!





We did a fun camp out with our neighbors and friends. We did some karaoke, it was a lot of fun but I was the only adult that did it. I guess I just like to embaress myself. We did some talking around the fire and Randall made a good fire.

Lake Powell!

To end the summer we went to Lake Powell. It was so fun and I didn't want to come home and back to reality. Zoe loved the water and never wanted to get out. We were so tired of being in there with her so grandpa took her with him.

Zoe was being to silly with her cousins in the boat. They were making me laugh.
Riding on the tube with daddy. Zoe is very brave and loves to ride on the tube, and the knee board.
