This week was our first adventure to the movie theater with both boys. Charlie went once with me when about 2 years ago. He did pretty well then, but that was just the two of us. This time we had Owen!

I’m a couponer. Honestly, I’m one of those “crazy” couponers that have enough shampoo, conditioner, and deodorant to last us a few years. However, it can be overwhelming. Many people do not want to bother with the time and energy it takes to do all of that clipping and comparing and whatnot that it takes to “coupon”.
Smartphones have made it so easy for everyone to get a slice of the “money-saving” pie.

It’s that time of year for Spring Consignment Sales! For our family, we LOVE shopping our local consignment sales.
At any consignment sale, please check all items for stains, tears, and excessive wear.
At seasonal sales, you’ll be limited to the upcoming season. Know what sizes your child(ren) will wear through that season. I also suggest shopping a size up just incase there is a growth spurt during the season. Don’t forget about knowing how much they weigh, this comes in handy for things like swim floaties and suits.
My area also has an “All-Season” sale. This is when I can stock up on the next season. Write down ahead of time what sizes you think your child(ren) will wear during each season so you can keep that in mind while shopping ahead a season.

Breastfeeding is really hard. Everyone seems to talk about it like it is the most natural thing in the World. It is natural for our bodies to breastfeed, but it takes quite a bit of learning and practice before you have it down. Mom will definitely remember that Dad was her biggest supporter during the struggles.
In honor of Dr. Seuss’s birthday on March 2nd, I thought I’d make this week’s Friday 5 post about Dr. Seuss.
For Charlie’s 1st birthday, I went all out Seuss style! Here’s 5 pictures from his party:
I ordered these awesome plates and tablecloth from Birthday Express.
I believe it’s crazy to spend full price on anything, especially baby and kids’ clothing and gear. They grow out of everything so quick, that used items are often in near perfect condition.
We sell at a big consignment sale twice a year. It’s a great way to make some money and get rid of the outgrown children’s items in your house. For us, it’s usually just a trade-up. We make money selling our old items and spend about the same getting new items that we need.
