Family Pictures 2009

I know it's been a really long time since my last post. My life is so crazy and busy that I never get a chance to update this. Here are our family pictures of this year taken by my photographer friend Allison from All About You Photography. She did an awesome job! Love my pictures!

Benji at 5 Months!

I know I haven't been updating as often, I've just been really busy! I wanted to share these adorable pics I took of him the other day! He really is a very happy & smily baby but for some reason everytime I bring out the camera he doesn't show me that adorable smile. But I still thought these were cute!! Enjoy!

Becoming Official!

I am finally ready to make diapers for others. I have started a new link just for the diapers and you can see it here. Feel free to pass it on to others!

BIG Albertsons Savings!

Wow I had a GREAT week at Albertsons last week. The picture is not that great because you can't really see how much stuff I actually got. It was soo much stuff that I had to stack on top of each other and there were rows of food behind each item. Also some items were not included because my family had already dug into some of the food but you get the idea. Anyways I was really excited w/all the food I got at such a good deal. I had to do 7 transactions to get this great deal but it was definitely worth it!

Total market value: $230.03
Sale Savings:$95.03
Coupon Savings:$93.65
Total out of pocket: $41.35!!!
That is 82% Savings!!

My dad

This is my dad Cesar Cedeño. Last night he had a massive heart attack and passed away at 2:30 am January 23, 2009. I am still in shock and can't believe he's actually gone. I will miss his sweet smile.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Years everyone! I decided as one of my new year's resolution that I'm finally going to be gung-ho on coupon clipping this year to help us save as much money as we can. I found a bunch of blogs of mamas who dedicate themselves to finding coupons and the best deals out there and I was soo shocked to see how much stuff they buy for so little money. I'm talking HUGE savings!! I've seen some spend out of pocket around $150 and save just over $1,000 in just one month for groceries! Can you believe that? When I saw those numbers I knew that I had to jump in on this coupon craze and start saving like this for our family. I'm going to add links to my favorite bloggers on the side bar in case anyone wants to do this as well! My new favorite store is CVS because you earn CVS bucks for a lot of their products and they practically pay YOU to buy their stuff. I know it sounds crazy but it's true!! I just started yesterday and already saved $19.73 with coupons at CVS and that was w/a few mistakes on my part. I know that once I get more organized and collect more coupons I will be saving at least $100 everytime I make a trip to CVS!!
