2 days in a row...

So, I'm actually posting 2 days in a row!  Wow, right?  After posting about once a month before, but I'm trying to be better about remembering things to blog about.

Today was the kick off for spring piano lessons.  I had two scheduled this afternoon, and have one more starting next week.  I'm open to having more students, would love to really, but right now since we're so unsure about the future, I'm trying not to start anyone new until we know a little more about what our schedule is going to be.

Also, I've picked up a new hobby that I'm loving---COUPONING!! Last week I went to Homeland and spent $12.78 on $40 worth of food!!  71% savings!  I'm planning another trip tomorrow, and can't wait to see what my savings will be!  Shopping is finally fun instead of a drudgery!

Today I started using cloth diapers with Harper.  We received them as a shower gift, but I hadn't yet used them because I was waiting on her to get a little bigger since they're sort of bulky.  So far so good, I guess.  Of course, the disposable diaper is much easier and simpler, but the cloth diaper will save us some money, and that's what I'm all about right now.  Saving money.

While we're on this subject, another thing I've been doing to save money is making my own laundry detergent and I'm getting ready to make my own dishwasher detergent!  SO MUCH CHEAPER!!  All the ingredients cost like 8 bucks and will last probably a year.  Seriously!

Haylie's been doing this cute thing where she'll ask to shake your hand and then she'll say: "It's so nice to meet you mom!"  Not sure where she got this, but it's definitely cute.  Tomorrow I'm going to leave Harper with mema and take Haylie with me to run some errands.  Nothing special, but I'm looking forward to the one on one time with my sweet girl.  Sometimes I feel like I'm having to leave her out or ignore her some because Harper is so much more demanding right now.  It brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it.  Everything used to be ALL HAYLIE all the time, but now we're having to make room (LOTS of room) for Harper, which is wonderful and all, but I just feel like I'm not spending the quality time with Haylie that I want. 

Well, not really much to say tonight, so I'm signing off now to kick back and watch some t.v. with my love!  Check back tomorrow for another post......................maybe! ;)
