The basement remodel: One of my favorite things about Adam is his work ethic. He is one of those people that will keep redoing a project just to make sure it is done correctly. More recently, he’s the type of guy that will work all day, come home and change into grungy clothes, and head into the basement to work on remodeling for the rest of the evening (or for 12 hours on Saturdays!) just so that we can have some extra room when the beebs gets here. I am so lucky! His goal is to finish the basement by the beginning of May. He’s adding a couple bedrooms, a bathroom, a living area and a laundry room (the basement is a full footprint of our house). I thought I’d post some of his progress on here… mostly he’s been working on plumbing and framing. I help with the projects that don’t require heavy lifting (mostly cleaning), and am looking forward to the time when I can help with the texturing, painting, and bathroom tiling. A HUGE thank you to Russ and Adam’s dad (and the guys who’ve volunteered to help on the 29th), who’ve been so faithful to help him out when he’s needed extra hands.
Cereal: Our pantry currently includes 9 boxes of Honey Bunches of Oats, 2 boxes of Cheerios, 1 box of Honeynut Cheerios, 3 boxes of Cinnamon Life, 2 boxes of regular Life and a couple boxes of Shredded Wheat. And, actually, I’ve been giving boxes of cereal away! I paid about $7.00 total for this conglamoration of oats, wheat and sugar (sorry mom!). Our recently reduced budget is jumping for joy! For those of you who love Cheerios (ahem, mom, jordi and mark!) or just want to restock their pantry, these are the deals that are still running at King Soopers (Kroger) through Tuesday:
Honey Bunches of Oats with Chocolate Clusters: Print out coupons here (in the lower right-hand corner), here, and here. They are on sale for $1.99, the coupon is for $2.00 off 1, so theoretically you make a penny if you buy them right now.
Cheerios and Honeynut Cheerios: If you buy 4 boxes at Kroger this week, they are on sale 4 for $6.00 (it says 4 for $10.00 on the pricetag, but you get an extra $4.00 off when you buy 4). Use coupons here and here to make them even cheaper (about $0.50 per box). Kix and Total are also part of this deal (the coupons are here and here).
Lightbox: I now have no need to assemble and tear down a makeshift mini photo studio to take pictures of my latest craftiness… Check out my new lightbox here!
