Abby has been in need of some clothes. She has need a couple more long sleeves in her size, some pjs, and most everything in the next size up.

Shopping Trip….7.13 and Shaw’s Changes….(And Giveaway Reminder!)
There have been a few changes at Shaw's recently. The first is that they got rid of the Shaw's card. You no longer need a loyalty card to get the deals.

Thankfully, Matt did very well at the lumberjack competition Sunday. After picking up some early dinner on the way home, we had $50 left (he earned more but some of it has to be mailed).That's $50 for all the regular groceries we needed. 5-7 years ago that wouldn't have been a problem. But considering a gallon of milk is … [Read more...]
