Happy Halloween

Viva Las disgusting Vegas

We went to Vegas as a mini vacay and hung out with my sister. We had fun taking the kids to the M&M factory, the Volcano, Pirate Show, Animal habitat and the Lion Show...

The TV makes Vegas look so glamorous and like it's the place to be. I find it disgusting.

Family reunion time.

A couple months ago we went to a family reunion in Cedar City. It was really fun to see all the family, eat good food, and play cards. I'm glad that we have The Husband's family to do this with. I didn't grow up with cousins and wasn't able to go to family reunions. I'm glad there we're pretty close and for the most part, we all can get along. I even went on a 75 mile hike, in which I almost died. ;)

 The hike that almost killed me.

Finally, I get to love Christmas.

I have been incredibly blessed to have couponing and to be able to finally afford a nice Christmas for my kids. We used to be so stressed out and didn't know how we were going to be able to afford Christmas. Even the little things like socks and undies. I'm also blessed to be able to donate things from my stockpile to my kids school. They in turn, donate to the exact same food banks who helped me as a child.

I'm chomping at the bit, waiting until the right time to bring out the Christmas Decor. The tree is definitely going up next weekend and I can't wait! I was able to get a few items last year on clearance that I'm really excited to pull out this year.

This is what I'm able to donate this year!
