Actually, I will be in most of the day, but I am trying to get caught up on my work, so I can take tomorrow off. As it is, I still see myself getting up around 3 or so and doing a couple hours worth of work before the kiddos and hubby get up (he took the week off from work and DIDN'T even tell me until the very last minute). Yeah, I had quite a few things to say about that, but he had a good reason. He "says" he didn't tell me so he could get things organized/cleaned up around here. He knows that if I knew, well......then I would "have" to take time off too, and then NOTHING would get done. So, here's the good in all that.....I DON'T HAVE TO ORGANIZE/CLEAN!:) He's an accountant so he does VERY well getting things organized. Me, I'm the opposite. So, anyway, HE'S DOING IT!! :) Blakey likes it because then he gets his daddy all to himself. :)
Well, okay, enough of that.
He did actually do a shop for me this morning, so I plan on taking a picture of that later and showing you what he came up with. He had to resort going to the not-so-friendly Albertsons (Trent and Argonne), but he still did really good. The roads were just way to bad to try to venture on out to Liberty Lake, where they are much friendlier.
Okay, I'll talk to you later.
Happy shopping and be safe and warm out there.
Thanks!

Holiday Tips
Here are those holiday tips that I said I was going to post. These are from the contest a few weeks ago. Thanks EVERYONE for your AWESOME tips on how to get through the holidays and stay on your "calorie budget," and frugal and fun tips too. There were sooo many suggestions and they were all GREAT suggestions.
Okay, here you go........
Here are the "keeping your weight in check" tips:
*Wii is my best friend during holidays, exercise/eat/have fun.
* We make an extra effort to have washed and cut vegetables and fruits available for snacking so that it's easy to eat well during the holidays, when all the treats and candy is around!
* I take the kids out a lot to play outside during the winter, so we all still get lots of exercise!
* I have a few favorite Christmas treats, but I allow myself to eat them, because if I don't then I know it would be only a matter of time before I gorged out on them. So, to combat this, we try to get out and exercise in a winter way. Take the kids ice skating (I learned when I was 2 and a half), sledding, if there is enough snow, skiing/snowboarding, tubing or even somewhere indoors like jump and bounce (yes, I am one of those parents who loves to go on the toys when I am there!)
* Weight loss tip: I eat a healthy meal until I feel content before going to parties. That way I don't fill up on a lot of fattening appetizers and drinks.
* for me its always been about trying to stay away from the fast food and soda...i guess its a year round tip not just a holiday thing.
* I tip for not packing on the pounds during the hoildays is to do a lot of the cooking/baking. I find that when Im finished, I am to tired to eat any of it.
* Holiday weight loss/baking tip -- use applesauce instead of oil in your baking. It doesn't taste much different if you use the same other ingredients, and it is much, much better for you!
* my tip for losing weight this season is to stick with drinking water instead of egg nog or other holiday drinks- be sure to indulge once in a while, but not every time. You'll really cut out a lot of calories doing it.
* weight loss tip--drink plenty of water BEFORE the dinner is being servedand skip the dessert :)
* It's so hard to watch my weight during the holidays - i think it's most important to not "diet" but have willpower when it comes to portion control! Have your favorites but just a small amount!
* Start your day with a workout of some kind. It sets the tone for the rest of the day and gives you energy!
Frugal gift/craft/holiday ideas:
* For Thanksgiving, when someone arrives, we have them write down on a sliver of paper what they are thankful for. At the dinner table, before eating, everyone reaches for a piece of paper to read aloud!
* I like to make salt dough ornaments with my kids.
* We make homemade hot chocolate to give as gifts!
* I taught art for 11 years and found kids could make super cute (super cheap) gifts that parents adored and kept forever! One grade made frames from 4 X 4 white tiles (about $1 or less at Lowe's). We used Modge podge to attach a wallet-sized school photo to the middle of the tile. Then we used permanent markers to create a frame around the picture. Next we covered the pic and artwork with a 4 X 4" piece of clear laminate to protect it. Finally, we hot glued a 1 1/2" dowel to the back so it could stand upright on a shelf or bookcase.
* my frugal craft tip- trace kids hands onto colored construction paper, cut out, and then decorate as turkeys. Makes cute table decorations.
* You said you wanted some tips (crafts included) well here is a site that I found through a newsletter the other day and they have some of the cutest holiday crafts! Me and my son are going to do this penguin one that I am going to link you to now, we picked up some little plastic cups this morning so we could do this after dinner! http://www.parents.com/holiday/christmas/crafts/christmas-kid-crafts/?page=13
* my fun and frugal holiday tip would be the use of swagbucks (redeeming them for amazon gift cards) and how useful it is during the Christmas season. thanks to swagbucks i can get all of my christmas shopping done and not have to spend a whole lot of money out of pocket
* I start shopping early (like the free notebook we got this summer from snapfish, free lip gloss, nail polish, candles, etc.) and put it away and then build gift baskets for people using this kind of stuff. I also make a list and strict price limit for each person. If I have already shopped for someone and find something else that would be "perfect" I call my dad or brother (or someone else who would be shopping for that person) and give them the idea. We have also gone away from buying our kids a bunch of plastic junk and instead buy things for them to experience (ski lessons, a family trip somewhere) to make it less about materialistic items and more about spending quality time together.
* I try to wrap christmas presents as I purchase them so that I am not up all night before Christmas day doing it :)
* My holiday frugal tip is to shop with family and friends.
* I buy items on sale throughout the year with coupons .Most of the health and beauty items are free and I make a pretty gift bag and put them in them.
* my holiday tip -- hold on to all of the celestial seasonings tea coupons and other good "basket-y" item coupons you see. You can make a really, really nice Christmas gift basket for super cheap by getting the items one by one as they go on sale. I keep all candy, tea, and other good snack coupons and use them for that!
* For a frugal family gathering......instead of bringing gifts, bring an ornament from your own tree to exchange for someone elses. It costs you nothing extra, and you can part with an ornament that's not your favorite, and get a new one without costing a penny!
* frugal tip--save the leftovers--don't toss them out--the mashed potatoes can be used as potato pancakes and the turkey can make a great noodle soup :)
* Hmmm well one of my favorite things to make at Christmas time is naniamo bars, like this recipe here: http://www.christmas-cookies.com/recipes/recipe239.the-original-nanaimo-bar.html
Thanks again everyone. I can't wait to try some of these "new" frugal tips!

Feed It Forward From Restaurant.com
Here is a little info about the program that I got from their website, just in case you are not familiar with Restaurant.com or even this promo.....
Restaurant.com's Feed It Forward™ aims to pay (or in this case, feed) its restaurant gift certificates forward to celebrate the gift of giving this holiday season. Feed It Forward enables people to treat friends, family, colleagues, community - and anyone deserving - to savings on a great meal.
How does Feed It Forward™ work?
Restaurant.com will empower people to give $10 Restaurant.com Gift Certificates to 40 friends every day until December 31st. Overall, Restaurant.com will enable you to share $40 million in combined gift certificate value through the length of this initiative, or until the total amount is shared.
To send a gift, the giver provides their name and email address, as well as a valid name and email address for each person they wish to give to—as many as 40 people every single day. Participants can also import their email address books directly on the giving site or log-in Facebook for even easier giving.
We can't give a single gift certificate away unless you help us. The success of Feed It Forward™ depends completely on you. Start Giving and tell us which 40 people you'd like to send to and we do the rest. It's really easy. And come back every day to give 40 more! But, remember you can only give to each person on your list one time throughout the program. Don't forget family, friends, co-workers, that teacher that inspired you, your next-door neighbor, and so on. We hope you join us and celebrate the gift of giving! Start Giving
What is Restaurant.com?
Restaurant.com is the trusted and valued source connecting restaurants and diners nationwide. More importantly, we're big givers and believe the gift of giving is one of the greatest gifts of all. We launched Feed It Forward™ in 2008 and have since given more than millions of our gift certificates away for free through the program. We hope you join us this year and help us reach our give goal of $40 million! Restaurant.com offers savings at more than 15,000 restaurants nationwide and to various online retailers with more than 35,000 gift certificate options available daily. Want to know more about us? Visit Restaurant.com.
It really does work. Go check it out for yourself. :)
Thanks Mojo Savings!

Some More Recipes
Check out these two recipes that I just came across at A Thrifty Mom. These are so very yummy looking. Now, her original recipes are a little too calorie friendly for me, so I will probably "adjust" some of the ingredients, but they look like my mouth would like them. :)
Okay, here is the first one.......
Sweet Potato Casserole
6 cups sweet potatoes, cooked and mashed
1 /2 cup butter (I would use applesauce or FF Sour Cream)
2 eggs beaten ( I would use 4 egg whites or Egg Beaters)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 can sweet condensed milk (I would use FF Sweet Condensed milk)
Mix together and put in a baking dish.
Topping
1 cup brown sugar (I would use Splenda Brown Sugar)
1/2 cup flour (I would use oatmeal)
1/3 cup butter (I would use 1/4 cup healthy oil like canola)
1 cup nuts (no nuts for me)
Mix well, sprinkle on top of sweet potatoes, Bake 350 for 25-35 min.
To cook sweet potatoes, cover with water in a large pot. Bring to boil, cook till middles are soft and a fork will insert easily.
I drain the water and let them cool a little.
Once they are cool enough to handle, peel the skins off.
Mash with a fork or a mixer, mash them up.
Then mix in the butter, milk, eggs and vanilla. Pour into baking dish, add topping
Bake at 350 25-35 mins
Here is a link to the page of her recipe.
**The "I would use" portion on the recipe is how "I" would "skinny" is up. This is not part of her original recipe.
Here is another recipe for Veggie Penwheels...
You will need:
8-10 flour tortillas (I would use wheat carb balance or even La Tortilla Factory tortillas)
5 different veggies 2/3 cup each
8 oz cream cheese (I would use FF)
8oz sour cream (I would use FF)
1 ranch packet
Start out with 5 veggies…what ever your family likes. Cut up 2/3 cup of each into small bits. I used Green onions, broccoli, celery, carrots and tomatoes (seeded or they are too juicy).
In a mixing bowl add ranch packet, 8 oz soften cream cheese, 8 oz ( half big container)
Mix till well blended
Spread about 3 tablespoons on a flour tortilla…make sure you get it all the way to the edge.
Spread veggies on top of cream mixture. Make sure to leave about an inch on top with no veggies so it will stick closed.
Roll up
Place on a plate…cover with plastic wrap….and let chill for 2 hours till cream cheese is firm again
Cut….and enjoy. These are great made the day before.
Here is the link to the recipe on her site.
Again, the "I would" part listed next to her original recipe is just how I would modify it to make it more WW-friendly for "me." This was not part of her original recipe.
