Recent happenings

Well I have been out of blogger land for a while and haven't felt very motivated to post anything. So let's see what have we been up to...
One of my dear old friends got married and I was able to attend the beautiful sealing with another dear ol friend. Had a blast staying up late and laughing our heads off. Smash Burger has become one of our favorite places. Definitely has won the best burger in town award. Go try it.

Made Banana Sour Cream Pancakes for dinner last night. I was a pretty upset that the hub had already taken them to work this morning when they were going to be my breakfast. Will hide them next time. You should try them too.

Went to lake powell last weekend only to get blown off the lake. The wind was ridiculous but I enjoyed a few hours of 90 degree weather before it came. Please be better next time wind.

Really trying to train for my 60 miler bike ride in two weeks but instead all I want to do is Yoga...

Although I still love my biking, mixing it up is more fun, don't you agree?

Heading to St. George/Vegas this weekend with friends and the hubby. Hoping to see some family and enjoy warm weather and a paid holiday!

new blog list!

So a few months ago I came across a blog that would post about free samples and good deals on many various things. I found a ton more and today I just made a new blog list titled these help me save money...or just get free samples. I love getting free samples. I am getting one about once a week and when I get them I'm like oh ya I forgot about that. Anyways these blogs that I follow are mostly run by moms, these moms are a little crazy with the coupons and such. But I'm always so amazed when they lay out their groceries and show what they would have paid without coupons and then what they did pay. For example: http://www.savingmoneylivinglife.com/2010/05/publix-before-coupons-savings-9046.html.
By the way, this is the blog that started this somewhat fascination of mine. I thought I would share this in case any of you want to get free stuff occasionally and also I wondered does anybody really use coupons, like religiously?? And really save that much money doing it? I just think if I could shop like that I could save us so much money! Anyways blog friends please comment with any tips or if any of you actually do this!!
