Life Lessons: Cleansing Face Masks

When a face mask states there is time limit for leaving the mask on your face, it is not a suggestion. Failure to follow said directions may result in a slightly painful and very red chemically burned face.

Lesson learned!

Pretty Great Day!!

Another GREAT Saturday for the Ray Family!!

• Build and Grow, we made music boxes with a Valentine theme.

• Lunch at Red Robin, kids did amazing, and were super psyched to get balloons.

• Fred Meyer to play in the Kids Zone and then we headed over to the bakery department to decorate little personal cakes to take home and eat.

• Came home to visit with Mimi, Auntie Shel and Gramma Romm. (more like we terrorized them while they trying to play settlers!!)

• Made some Valentine Cards... going to finish them tomorrow. :)

• Over to GG's to see the 3 new baby horses. 

• Home for dinner and a show before bedtime. 

Oh, how I LOVE these kinds of days!!

Couponing

I have been wanting to coupon for a long time. I have been talking about it for a few months now, and I finally started. The first time I tried a cashier was really rude to me (rolled her eyes, sighed really loud, argued with me) I ended up putting away the rest of my coupons and paid full price for things.

Then a couple weeks later I decided I wasn't going to let her stop me from saving money and having fun. Pretty sure she was just jealous anyway. 

I had been spending $200 saving $12. Spending $100 saving $8. It was taking a lot longer to cut coupons and lay out my shopping plan then I was saving, it didn't seem to be worth it. But I kept at it because it was fun searching for the deals and seeing how much money I could save. (I love money!) And today..... I  FINALLY saved more money than I spent! HOORAY FOR ME. Now, I am not one of those extreme couponers that spend $15 and save $500. That is not me. Not yet. But I am getting there.

Today I spent: $31.46 and saved $39.13.

I know it's the not greatest thing ever, but it's so amazing to me!! :)  I can't wait to look back on this post in a year so I can compare my shopping trips!!
