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!

Bedtime reading

I love children's storybooks.  I love their simple plots and colorful illustrations.  Now that we're going to have a baby soon, I'm keeping my eyes peeled for some new ones to add to my collection.  Hubby recently spied this book on Amazon.

It contains beautiful illustrations and lyrical verses like

The cats nestle close to their kittens now.
The lambs have laid down with the sheep.
You're cozy and warm in your bed, my dear
Please go the f*ck to sleep.

Hmm, to buy or not to buy?  It is on sale...

Here's looking at you, kid

My glasses finally arrived.  Now I can see and drive again!

You know what they say...

"April showers bring May flowers"

But since it snowed here two days ago, perhaps the Michigan saying should be
"April snow showers bring May flowers."

Hubby and I are having a tough time believing that Spring is actually coming.  I'm longing for the days when I can shed my coat and expose my pale arms to a warm and bright sun.  Here are two of hubby's "Almost spring" outfits:

Nothing says spring like a nice jean jacket

White on white on white. 

We're having a boy!

Hello!  I'm  made of frogs and snails and puppy-dogs' tails.
