5. My Target purchase
If you have been reading this blog for awhile, you know that I love coupons and saving money. A friend of mine runs this great site and gives helpful tips and links to coupons for almost anything. I usually only do my grocery shopping twice a month, unless I need more milk, bread or fruit. That means I plan my meals in advance and cut my coupons before I go. As of lately, I prefer to do my shopping without the kids, it's so much easier.
Shortly after Adam got home, I headed out to Target and one of our local grocery stores. With my list in hand, I entered Target to gather some toiletries and necessities. I'm proud to say that I had a coupon for every item and due to checking the weekly ad in advance, I was able to save $27 off of a $50 purchase. That's right I had $27 worth of coupons. Everything on the list is something we use, so I wasn't just purchasing something because I had a coupon. If you aren't hooked, please go to the site and you will have a whole new outlook.
4. The Shred.
I bought Jillian Michaels, 30 Day Shred DVD, last June. I just had delivered Taylor 3 months prior and while I lost most of my baby weight, I wanted to get back down to my pre-pregnancy weight from Mason. Nursing definitely helps, but I wanted more definition and tone.
After the first day, I was hooked. It's less than 30 minutes out of your day and you can do it out of your own house. Taylor still wasn't sleeping thru the night at that point and wasn't on a set nap schedule, so leaving the house to go to the gym with a newborn and an almost 2 year old, was just out of the question.
It helped me drop the extra weight and tone up and stay toned. I don't have a lot of time for myself during the day or evening, so when I do, I want to make sure that I make it worth my time. Exercising gives me the energy I need to take care of my little ones and then some. Plus I like it's benefits. The video is great and it will kick your butt! Be prepared to have muscles hurt that you never knew you had.
3. New Moon on Blu-Ray
This past Christmas, we received a Blu-Ray player and have yet to watch an actual Blu-Ray DVD. If you don't already know, if you have an HD TV and a Blu-Ray player with an HDMI cable, you can watch a regular DVD at a higher resolution. Trust me when I say there is a huge difference.
New Moon was released on DVD March 20th and you better believe I picked up a copy. I had a gift card left over from my birthday and decided to get the movie in Blu-Ray. I knew it would be better, but little did I know how much better it would be. I bought the movie the day it was released and since we had company that weekend, we didn't get around to watching it until this past Sunday. OH MY GOSH, HUGE DIFFERENCE! I felt like I was right there with them. Even Adam commented that it's better then being in the actual movie theater.
2. Mason singing Jesus Loves Me.
A couple weeks ago, I mentioned that Mason loves to sing You are my Sunshine. The other night, he asked for Jesus Loves Me. It shocked me how clear he said it, but it shocked me even more that he knew all the words and sang it with me. He even sang it on the phone to Adam. I really need to capture it on camera, because one day I will look back and miss his high squeaky, baby voice.
1. EasterToday is Good Friday. Sure that means a lot of people have the day off, but do they really understand why we observe this holiday? Jesus paid the ultimate price for our sins and died a horrible death on the cross for you and me. He was tortured, mocked, and humiliated in front of everyone. At any second, He had the power to change what was happening to him and yet he didn't. He did it because He loves all of us so much

I'm so intrigued by The Shred, I think I'll just have to try it. Is it interesting, or boring?
It's interesting and not boring at all. You are constantly doing something new and even if you do one level for 10 days you don't get bored because you are trying to improve yourself.
