Coupon Coupon Coupon

I love coupons lol, I am sure I have told you guys that but what I love even more is sharing coupons with all of you!  Some coupons are for things that you think, I will never use that, and some you think, wow, I could use 5 of those!  Hopefully this will be one of the latter ones.  Ever since the fabulous crew over at Life Made Delicious sent me some of their tortillas I haven't eaten a single hard taco.  I still will break up a hard taco shell over the taco salad I will take with me to work but now I always go for the soft taco.  They are so good for Brandon too. 

Brandon can not easily eat a hard taco, he loves them so he really really really tries but after a bite, maybe two, it crumbles and is everywhere.  He gets frustrated and just wants to eat it.  Now that I am so into the tortillas that's what Brandon gets too.  He loves that he can eat his entire taco without it ending up everywhere and of course having the same as Mommy goes a long ways too.  Kristina only wants what Daddy is having though on the other hand :)

I guess the whole point of my post is to let you know about the great new coupons from Life Made Delicious!  If you click on this link, you can get a coupon for $1 off Old El Paso medium or large tortillas.  Make sure you grab some to try on your next Mexican night!

Happy birthday to my Hubby

So it was my hubbys birthday on Sunday, he needed cake, but hes allergic to wheat.  Because I am a horrible wife I was out of his new favorite cake, Betty Crocker gluten free chocolate cake.  So I just made him a boring old wheat free cake and then made everyone else some new Betty Crocker Red Velvet Cupcakes!  They were very easy to make which was a good thing!

I work outside the house Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday nights and then all day Saturday and Sunday.  Lets just say I love Mondays :)  Its hard on both Kris and I now, but we don't have to pay for daycare, this way one of us is always home with the kids and we figure that once the kids are both in school then him and I can spend some time together again :)

Anyways, back to my point, we had everyone over for cake on Sunday night so the plan was to make cake and the cupcakes on Saturday night and then ice them on Sunday night right before everyone came over.  We ended up going on an impromptu date on Saturday night and my girlfriend babysat so of course we stayed up visiting with her when we got home from dinner so that put us a bit further behind again.  We also brought home ice cream so good luck getting the kids to bed after that.

Brandon was still up, at about 10:00 when I started the cupcakes, please don't judge me, and so we got started.  It was pretty easy, added a few things and mixed it up.  That's Brandon's favorite part.  I don't know what we did before the Kitchen Aid mixer because he works it better than I do. Baking with kids is the best, and I know he will remember it because he loves it so much!   He mixed it all up good and I poured it into my silicone baking cups, seriously love those as well, and then threw them in the oven.  We put the kids to bed and then hubby disappeared to bed and cleaned up the house, did the dishes, made his cake and then pulled them both out to cool.  It was an extra long night.

The cupcakes and cake were a huge hit.  Everyone loved the Red Velvet cupcakes.  How could you not, cream cheese icing, thank goodness it came in the box.  All I had to do was ice the cake right after I chowed down dinner on Sunday right before people were pulling into the driveway.  Then just cut off the tip of the icing bag and iced the Red Velvet cupcakes up in about 2 minutes!  You know it was rushed when I didn't even have time to snap a pic of the finished cupcakes and hubby usually takes pics of singing so clearly that didnt' happen :)

They were all gone before the party was over, no leftovers for me :(  If you want to try them you should do it soon as they are only here for a limited time.

Jake and the Neverland Pirates on Disney Junior

Have I mentioned before how much I love, well Brandon, loves Jake and the Neverland Pirates?  He plays Jake, he watches Jake on Disney Junior, he watches the Jake movie, he watches Peter Pan and talks and talks and talks about Jake!  I think I may have passed down my OCD to him :)

Jake and the Neverland Pirates is heading into its 2nd season, yaaaaa for Jake and his friends.  We love watching it, and even I find myself watching and listening to Jake.  I actually enjoy it and don't end up annoyed watching it or walking away because I cant' handle being in the same room.  I don't really find that with any Disney Junior shows, mostly with other channels, but my all time favorite Jake and the Neverland Pirate memory is when we were all out for dinner and Brandon dropped a piece of food and muttered "oh coconuts!"  So funny!

There is going to be a Jake and the Neverland Pirates marathon this month!  From March 19th - 23rd 6pm - 7pm EST there will be a new episode on, every night, the 6:30 showing!  You know we will be PVRing them so we can watch them again and again.  The Friday night will be the big show of Peter Pan Returns airing at 6pm EST!  Sounds like a great week, make sure you tune in!

Kinder Canada - Facebook Giveaway - $500 towards a staycation!

Spring Break is coming up faster than you know!  I am pretty excited because this year is the first year that our Spring Break will be two weeks long!  We have some pretty big plans this year!  We bought a 5th wheel last year, from Kris's grandparents, near the end of Summer.  We were only able to take it out once on our own after we bought it, we took it out two other times but will the rest of the family before we bought it. 

This year we want to use it as much as possible.  With me working nights and weekends all the time I am hoping to save up and use all of my vacation days this Summer :)  We started a tradition last year that we hope to continue until the kids are grown.  Kris actually did this growing up.  We are going to camp, over Easter, every year, with Kris's three sisters and their families!  Last year was so much fun, it only rained a little bit on the last day, and I can't wait to do it again.  Its the kick off of camping season!  Last year there was 7 adults and 8 kids :)  Gotta love it!

I am already known as the Kinder Aunty, the kids love coming over and getting Kinder eggs, I even game them to Brandon's cousins as part of the goodie bags from his birthday.  They sure love me :)

Easter is pretty much bang in the middle of our Spring break so we should have lots of time to prep and pack up, I love making a good list, and lots of time to relax and recover afterwords!  Can't wait!  Brandon is already asking how many more sleeps until camping!

What are you big plans for Spring Break?

Please make sure you check out the Kinder Canada Facebook page!  Not only is there some great conversations going on over there but right now there is a great contest going on!  You can enter to win $500 to put towards your own Staycation!!!!!  How far can you get that to go!!  I know that would be a pretty sweet staycation for us!

Happy Valentines Day

Well was your Valentines Day all you hoped for?  I had a pretty laid back night, we aren't to big into Valentines Day.  We got the kids some chocolates but that was about it.  Occasionally Kris will buy me chocolates or we will make a nice dinner, usually at home but Valentines Day is usually so overdone and crazy out that its just not worth it.  I always told him that I would rather have a dozen red roses on the 15th of February than any on Valentines Day. 

All we did was have a nice dinner at home and relax.  What did you guys all get up too?  If you are more like me and would rather cook your lobster yourself and get a coupon for a movie out then listen up!

Once again this year the good people at General Mills have partnered with their friends at Cineplex to offer Canadian families an excuse to get out of the house and enjoy a movie or snacks! How great is it to get a bonus for buying something you already love?  Not just that – but this year they’ve made it easier than ever to redeem the on-pack offer!!  All you do is make sure you have your code(s) handy and  go to cineplex.com to get your free movie tickets. Go back as often as you like with your new code(s) – the FREE** Movie Offer is valid until May 31st.

I have already collected one!  Can't wait to get my hands on some more! 

Tell me about your Valentines Day, was it romantic, or are you more like me and waiting for the free movie tickets to go out? :)

Georges Skin Cream

George’s Cream Inc. is a private Canadian manufacturer and marketer of two specialty skin care products, and is owned by co-founders George Doherty and Skip Gibson. The company’s signature brand, George’s Special Dry Skin Cream, is named after its creator, George Doherty, a pharmacist and entrepreneur.

In 1997, George Doherty was asked by a dermatologist to create a rich moisturizing cream for dry skin. The criteria for George’s Cream was that it had to be richer and more moisturizing than other commercially available products yet have fewer ingredients (less irritants), no lanolin or urea and be fragrance free. George experimented with his wife’s mix master to create the original George’s Cream recipe. Eventually George enlisted the help of a local laboratory to develop and perfect a unique manufacturing process. George’s Cream was originally sold in small batches at George and Skip's Calgary pharmacy. Today it is one of the fastest growing brands in its sector and is sold through national and independent pharmacies, drug chains, grocery retailers and convenience stores across Canada.

The two specialty skin care products, George’s Special Dry Skin Cream and George’s Light Special Moisturizing Lotion were created to relieve the dry skin problems and a number of chronic skin conditions that are aggravated by the semi-arid climate in Alberta. Many factors were considered and researched to ensure that George’s Cream would contain ingredients that would provide relief for dry skin sufferers as well as those with sensitive skin. The therapeutic benefit of George’s also provides immense relief to those suffering from many other skin conditions, particularly eczema and psoriasis. As more and more dry skin sufferers found relief from George’s Cream, the word spread. “It works!” they said. Users started asking their pharmacies and favorite stores to carry George’s Cream, and as a result it has become a national brand and is recommended by dermatologists, pharmacists, caregivers and physicians across the country.

I have eczema and so does Brandon, luckily its just the two of us because its so hard to deal with.  We have tried so many different creams and lotions.  Seriously I am always going through the cupboard and throwing out bottles upon bottles!  Not only does the waste annoy me but I hate how much money I have wasted.  Its also hard when you are just dry, itchy and cranky and can't find anything that will work.

Well look no further!!  Georges works great!  Its not greasy, over scented, or overpriced.  Also, its not just for eczema, check out what else you can use it for!

• eczema


• psoriasis

• sunburn

• windburn

• cradle cap

• winter itch

• flaky skin

• tough elbow skin
