My New Freezer

In our effort to try and be more energy efficient we have slowly been replacing old appliances. I will have a whole different post on the steps we have taken to go green at our house but for now I will just show you my new freezer.
Isn't she pretty! Our old deep freezer was given to us by my grandpal and although it serves its purpose well and still works it is not at all efficient. The old deep freezer was probably purchased 15 years ago or more so you can only imagine how much electricity it wasted to keep it running. We purchased our new freezer at Lowes for under $200. The new freezer is allot smaller than our old freezer, this way we can keep it in the utility room instead of the garage.I think it is perfect and I am so excited about it I just wanted to share it with all my bloggy friends.

Feezing foods

Coupon Moms buy stuff by when its on sale and stock up, this cuts down on the cost of there weekly grocery bill. Allot of foods can be frozen but the question is which ones are safe to freeze and which ones are not. I did my research abd this is what I found. You can freeze almost any food. Some exceptions are canned food or eggs in shells. However, once the food (such as a ham) is out of the can, you may freeze it.While pasteurized milk can be frozen; it may separate or be slightly grainy when thawed. You can freeze milk altough it is not suggested, frozen milk works best for cooking, but you may find it's still okay for drinking.
Being able to freeze food and being pleased with the quality after defrosting are two different things. Foods that do not freeze well are mayonnaise, cream sauce and lettuce. Raw meat and poultry freeze well and maintain their quality longer than their cooked meat because it loses mosture during cooking.
Food stored constantly at 0 °F will always be safe. Only the quality suffers with lengthy freezer storage. Freezing keeps food safe by slowing the movement of molecules, causing microbes to enter a dormant stage. Freezing preserves food for extended periods because it prevents the growth of microorganisms that cause both food spoilage and foodborne illness.The freezing process itself does not destroy nutrients. In meat and poultry products, there is little change in nutrient value during freezer storage.
Proper packaging helps maintain quality and prevent "freezer burn." It is safe to freeze meat or poultry directly in its supermarket wrapping but this type of wrap is permeable to air. Unless you will be using the food in a month or two, overwrap these packages as you would any food for long-term storage using airtight heavy-duty foil, (freezer) plastic wrap or freezer paper, or place the package inside a (freezer) plastic bag. Use these materials or airtight freezer containers to repackage family packs into smaller amounts. It is not necessary to rinse meat and poultry before freezing.
This information is just some helpfull tips and should not be used as health advice,You should futher research what items you plan to freeze.
Happy Labor Day Weekend Yall!!!

Poopoos PooPoo Chair!


There are big things happening in our house! Tonight we went to Target to pick up some more Sippy cups for Poopoo because now he is complety off the bottle, I know he should of been off the bottle several months ago but who cares. While we were at Target we decided to purchase Poopoo his own potty chair. They have several kinds of potty chairs to choose from, there is your basic potty chair that simply consist of a plastic stool with a removable cup, then there were pottys that light up and sing. We discussed what kind of chair would be best for Poopoo and decided to keep it simple. We don't really want to encourage him to play with the potty, that's kinda gross.
I set up his new potty chair in his bathroom. He has not yet seen it but I will keep you posted on what he thinks about it. Apart of me is excited about introducing him to his new chair but the other part of me could burst into tears at any moment. I would love to freeze time and keep my sweet Poopoo a baby forever but he is growing so fast and is so so smart. Lately my he has been letting me know when he has poopoo, he has only done it a couple of times but I see this as a turning point and that we should roll with it. We definitely will not be enforcing the Potty until he is ready, I really just want to introduce it to him and see what happens . I think if you try to push them to early it will only be harder on you and you little one.

A Disapointing trip to Albertsons!!!

I feel like I need to vent!
So here I go.... Today after receiving my grocery ads in the mail I sorted threw them and decided Albertsons was my store of choice this week. I mapped out my game plan, calculator in hand and headed off to my local Albertsons to pick up so great steals. I purchased 4 Kraft Ranch dressing because it was apart of a deal they have going on this week, I used 4 of my All you Magazine coupons making them free plus giving me a little overage.
After My shopping adventure I ran home! I was so excited about all the great stuff I had gotten! As usual I displayed it all out so that I can take a picture for all my bloggy friends. I noticed when I was arranging my Kraft Dressing that the sell by date said Aug 22, 2008 "wait" I checked my phone to see what date it was. "Yuk these have been expired for 5 days". I was a little irritated!The dressing kinda put a spoil on my great deal "literally". I called Albertsons The manager was super nice and very apologetic she told me she would be happy to exchange them. I waited for my husband to get home so that I wouldn't have to pack up the baby for a quick trip to exchange some ranch dressing. I returned to Albertsons 5 hours later, I left my old ranch at the costumer service counter and proceeded to get four new ranches. When I got to the dressing isle and started digging threw the 30 ranch bottles that were out on the self I was only able to find four that had not already expired "WHAT". You would of thought after getting off the phone with me five hours prior to that somebody would have removed the old rotten ranch from the self. Oh and it gets even worse "I hope you don't have a weak stomach". I saw several Ranch dressings that had expired on July 13 "COME ON". I am not a picky person when it comes to be sell by date I Will usually use it for awhile after, you know when food is bad. But this is absolutely ridiculous. I feel like I need to write a letter or something I cant even imagine how many people have paid full price for that spoiled dressing GRRRR. I would put money on it if I were to visit Albertsons again tomorrow they would still have that expired ranch dressing sitting out on there selves.
With all that said this does not mean that I will no longer be shopping at Albertsons. It does mean I will be a little more cautious when I purchase from them. I was really disappointed but I feel much better now that I got that off my chest....

Albertsons Trip

Ok Between the Peanut Butter I bough last week and the Marshmallows I bought today I should be set for my Holiday baking!

4 Kraft Ranch Dressing $2.69 on sale $2.00 each ( I was really disappointed with Albertsons when I got home and looked at the sell by date and all 4 expired 5 days ago YUK! but I called them and they said to bring them back and they would gladly exchange them)

Wordless Wednesday

It has been along time since Poopoo has seen his old walker. When Poopoo was 8 months old he spent about 75% of his time cruising the house in his beloved walker. Sadly the day came when he got to big for it and I had to pack it away. Earlier this week when I was pulling everything out of his closet to reorganize it I pulled out his walker. You would of thought it was Christmas morning at our house Poopoo was so excited to see all his old stuff and insisted on me putting him in his old walker.

He was way to Big for it, He couldn't sit down because his knees touched the ground.....

He Made one lap around the house then decided he was done.

Deal or Dud!!!


This Deal or Dud I tested Space Bag. Space Bag claim to triple your storage space protect against bugs, dust, mildew, odors, and water....

Anyone who has kids knows how fast they grow out of there clothes. Since we are going to have more children instead of getting rid of all Poopoos old clothes I pack them away to save for the next crazy baby. Storing can be a problem with a limited amount of space. After watching a As seen on TV commercial I decided I would give Space Bag a try. I purchased my Space Bags at Walmart for $9.99. In one box I got 3 Large size Bags. The Space Bags come in several different sizes, they even have hanging bags which I plan to purchase to store my Wedding Dress. All you have to do is simply fill the Space Bag with the items you plan to store then using a vacuum suck out the air from the bag. If you don't have a vacuum it also has instruction on how to roll the air out. For more information you can check out Space Bags website HERE.

The Test.....


The Result....

So What Do I think? These Space Bag are defiantly a DEAL!!!

Tonight my son was crying pointing at the medicine cabinet because he wanted another Vitamin. They make kids vitamins taste like candy, his are the gummy kind coated in what taste like sugar. He was making a big fuss saying "peese peese" and I said "no sir you can only have one a day" I know I am so mean. He continue to cry and through a fit and although I know I shouldn't I said "No sir, you cant have a vitamin but you can have another cookie" LOL does this sound strange to anyone else.

Trina over at Fabulously Frugalicious had a cute post today about her trip to the snack machine. What is my favorite snack machine indulgence? Well Trina if you want to see me throw my self on the floor and act like my son did over his vitamins just deny me these........... Powdered Donuts. My one and only weakness (well besides Dr. Pepper)

What is your favorite Snack machine Indulgence?

Tacke it Tuesday

Yet another week and another Tackle it Tuesday over at 5 Minutes for Mom. This weeks Tackle it Tuesday I decided it was time to organize my craft supplies. Inspired by a post at Comical Coupon Cents about her friends Scrapbook closet I got busy.........
I use to Keep all my craft supplies and gift wrap in our tiny hall closet. I had a Large Rubbermaid Drawer set that at one point was somewhat organized but over the years has gotten out of control. My first step was to pull all my craft stuff out of the closet.....
Then I had to sort threw all the stuff, I had not realized the amount of Craft supplies I had acquired until I started going threw it all. Not being able to clearly see my supplies each time I started a new project I would buy the same stuff over and over again. Now that I am organized I can see what I have and where everything is. I am super excited about the way it turned out..... I purchased this book shelf at Walmart for only $27. The Storage bins were 2/$11 at Target and all the other organizing tools were $3 or less at Target.
