12 days until Christmas! Wow, has this year ever went by fast! A couple highlights of this year would be getting our garage up (not fully finished since my hubby is so busy with work), so many new milestones with Makayla, saving over $3000+ this year with couponing, and lastly my husbands new temporary job position. He is still a Supervisor at HM, but has taken on a position that involved him to learn a computer program so he could teach it to others back at his work. I am so proud to call Matthew my husband. Not only is he an incredible husband and father, he's a very hard worker and it's paying off for him. Congratulations Matt, your family is so proud of you and you really deserve a pat on the back for all you do.

Last weekend I was joking around with my husband and said that we should go to Edmonton for a quick getaway. He said to quickly pack our stuff because we would be leaving in less then a couple hours after he got home from work. We ended up doing a LOT of shopping, swimming and even took Makayla to Galaxyland! She LOVED it so much and didn't want to leave. We ended up finding this really nice bedroom set, but unfortunately the vehicle we rented wasn't big enough to bring it home. So that means, yes, another trip to Edmonton in the New Year with a bigger vehicle. It ended up being a great weekend filled with a LOT of fun, and I can't wait to do it all over again very soon!

I've been decently busy lately, so I haven't had the time to blog and post deals that I've gotten... so here is my latest small shop at Walmart the other day. I'll do a breakdown to show how much each item was and what coupon I used.
