New Adventures

Haven't posted in a while, which is mostly due to the fact that we received a surprise in March in the form of the news of our second pregnancy. We weren't planning on another little bundle quite this soon, but we have been blessed with one and are well under way.

November 3rd is our due date and it will make a nice age difference between our first little one and our next. 18 months, closer than I had planned, but far enough apart that they should be good playmates. We don't find out til June if it's a boy or a girl, however I'm really excited to find out.

For now my time is filled playing with Micah and planning his first birthday which is in a week. I can't believe how the time has flown! He's getting so big! He's still a very happy little boy too, plays well with others and loves the outdoors! He's going to be a great big brother!

While I'm excited for the new little one I'm also nervous. I've started looking into some different things that may help with keeping finances down. I started looking into couponing, and I tell you TLC makes it look like you have to be a complete nut job to coupon. These people stockpile things they don't need or already have just because it's a good deal! I couldn't believe it. I thought to myself, if that is what happens to you to save a few bucks then I'm out.

Then I found this! Living Well Spending Less a fantastic website that shows you how to coupon reasonably. She's currently doing a giveaway that would be a great opportunity for me to get started on being more organized before the new little one shows up. She reviewed a book called 30 Meals in One Day. All about once a month cooking. It comes with recipes, labels, and everything you need to prepare meals in advance for your family. I'm entering in hopes of winning! Let's keep our fingers crossed!

More later!
