belly update

A stranger asked me when I was expecting. 

I've now passed the "pudgy around the middle" stage.

This little guy is growing bigger too!

New life

The message of Easter is all about new life.  This message seems particularly relevant for hubby and me right now.  We're in the midst of settling into a new life in Michigan and soon we're going to start a new life as mommy and daddy to the new life growing inside my belly.

Last night we invited two friends over to Easter dinner.    

New traditions with some new friends

Four for Four

Hubby and I are addicted to the show Extreme Couponing on TLC.  This show documents coupon savvy shoppers purchasing carts and carts of grocery store products for very little money.  We watch with mouths agape as hauls initially costing hundreds (and sometimes even thousands) of dollars drop to 10% of their initial bill.

How do these super shoppers do it?   They clip lots and lots of coupons, put in 30-40 hours of hard work each week clipping and planning, and only purchase sale items with coupons on "double coupon" days.  In honor of this show, hubby and I now keep our eyes open for coupons and sales.  Our first "extreme" purchase?
 

Strawberries-  4 lbs for $4.00!

Ooh.  So extreme.  (Extremely delicious!)

By the way- Happy Easter!
