What a wonderful day!
Yesterday was our 5th anniversary! We spent the day celebrating with the kids, by spending it together as a family, making some outings to town.
Hubby had decided he wanted to take us for a "Handsome Cab Ride" (horse & carriage ride) so we headed to the park to check it out....well, when we got there, the horses were no where in sight. Needless to say he was a little bummed. So, we took the kids to the park & zoo to try to expend some of their energy. After about an hour and a half there, we packed them back up in the car, and headed off to Lowes. On our way out of the park, we spotted the horses, so we parked & went over to take our ride. It was lovely! Definately a sweet thing to do to celbrate Valentine's Day & our anniversary.
After that, we packed the youngin's back up in the car (Caroline slept through the entire horse ride), and headed off to grab a bite to eat, and then to Lowe's to pick out a pantry cabinet for the kitchen. I was a little bummed because the one I really wanted, is too tall for where we need to put it, so I have to find another one I like. After Lowe's, I ran into Rite Aid, and then we all went into WalMart to grab a few grocery items.
Because there were no naps for the most part, the kids retired to bed early last night, so hubby and I got to spend some quality time together before heading to bed ourselves. I must say, he gave me the most beautiful cards, with special messages written in both of them, and a small box of chocolates.
Happy Anniversary, sweetheart! I love you!

Bring back the coupons!
As of February 1st 2009, RedPlum coupon inserts have been discontinued in many newspapers throughout major US cities. The Valassis Corporation, which distributes the RedPlum, does not realize how this will affect consumers like us and our ability to donate to the needy, keep our own pantry filled, and a host of other reasons.
Valassis has responded by saying that consumers can "now print coupons from their website," but the problem is that many stores refuse to accept internet printed coupons & this will limit how many coupons we can get.
Please join me & couponers from across the country fight this. Go here to post a comment on how this will negatively affect you and your family.
*Also, be sure to let the advertisers who use RP to distribute their coupons just how unhappy this has made you. The BringBackTheCoupons site has a page featuring ALL RedPlum advertiser contact links and a form letter you can use to easily do this.

Hot Coupon World has 19 survey sites that PAY!
Hot Coupon World has a list of 19 legit survey sites that PAY you with the added bonus of little to no spam. What a GREAT way to earn some extra money with little effort. As a participant myself, I do suggest creating a dedicated email address for joining such sites, just in case they do send the occasional email newsletter or reminder.
Click here to see the complete list that Hot Coupon World has created. Of those listed, I think MyPoints is my favorite, simply because you don't have to do a darn thing to earn points, other than click through the email(s) they send. Once you have accumulated enough points, simply "cash" them in for gift cards good at your favorite store(s)!

Say a little prayer
This morning, Caroline goes in to have tubes put in her ears & some allergy testing done. Poor girl has had a constant (almost) ear infection since November, so hopefully this will help to put an end to that. She's only supposed to be "out" for 15 minutes, but I will be a nervous wreck, no doubt. I've been told that kids generally bounce back pretty quickly after this type of procedure, and she should be ready & able to go back to daycare tomorrow, so let's hope it rings true for us. Please say a little prayer that everything goes smoothly & helps to prevent any further ear infections.

FREE McDonald's cafe drink
During the entire month of February, McDonald's is offering a FREE medium size McCafe drink (late, cappuccino, hot chocolate) with any breakfast sandwich purchase. I figure the average price for these types of drinks is approximately $2, so that's $56 in FREE caffeine drinks! Granted, you'll have to spend a little on breakfast sandwich, but you can get a cheap one for around $1.50 (egg & cheese biscuit/bagel).
