It’s Digital Scrapbooking Day, people!!  What does that mean?  HUGE sales, TONS of freebies, LOTS of inspiration and FUN challenges!!
I’m super, incredibly excited about the awesome Facebook Page Hop the Digichick designers are having this year.  There are twenty-four designers participating, which means twenty-four FREEBIES!!  PLUS, we all used a common palette, so most of the freebies will match one another!  In the end, it will be like collecting a big collaboration (with a couple of random bits of goodness thrown in there for good measure!).
This is my Freebie!!  I’m …

I am so excited to be moving into the holiday season!  I love Thanksgiving (oh, the FOOD!) and Christmas is my favorite.
I have a dream that one day I will be the kind of mom who has a decorating bin for each season of the year: Snowflakes and snowmen for January and February, shamrocks and leprechauns for March, flowers and bunnies for April and May, etc.
I am not that mom.  However, I really would love to be that mom.
I have a ton of great ideas!  Really, I do!
The problem lies …

Okay, so here’s the deal:  It has been nearly a month since I posted anything, and before that it was just grocery store scores.  Yes, those can be exciting, but there is nothing more exciting than LIFE around the Ratzlaff house.  I’ve been so overwhelmed at the thought of jumping in here to update you all and start to blog more regularly that I just kind of froze up.
Well, no more.  This silent treatment has GOT to come to an end.  I’m going nuts.
My life in bullet points.  (Hopefully …

Just this morning, I was telling my friend that I would totally do the Eggo waffle deal if I had any more coupons.  Fortunately, I didn’t need them today!

I went to my trusty end cap frozen food clearance section and found a BUNCH of Eating Right waffles and pancakes on 50% off clearance, which made them just $1.40 each.  I bought 11 boxes to get my total above $15 so that I would earn that fun $5 Catalina!  I rolled a previous Catalina, plus I used the last of my …

Having a full freezer is just so satisfying!  Mine is overflowing with broccoli, lasagna, and now PIZZA!  I really need to organize before I purchase more.  Ugh.
So, reader Tera sent me some of the amazing $5 off a $15 purchase of frozen food coupons, which coincide PERFECTLY with the amazing $5 Catalina when you buy $15 worth of frozen food promotion!  AND, I haven’t had a problem with my Catalina printing.  However, I have always made sure my total is up to $15, even after manufacturer’s coupons.  I’ve had a …

My hubby grabbed Grant for soccer practice, and I grabbed Cole to be my Safeway buddy.  Cole was pretty sure he got the short end of the stick.
However, I scored.  I figured I would post, just in case any of the rest of you are last minute people!

I cleaned out the freezer case of the O Organics Lasagna.   Sorry Dallas peeps.  You took all the beans, so we are even. 
I only had (2) $1/2 Eggo coupons, so I could only buy 4 boxes.  That meant I had to …

I once asked a friend whose son was entering first grade what she was going to do all day now that all of her kids were in school full time.  She said, “Everything I did before, except better.”  I just loved her response and was SO looking forward to the day when I could get a little bit of consistency in my schedule as my youngest started Kindergarten.  Unfortunately, that still hasn’t happened!  Kindergarten? Yes. Consistency? No.
I have been going, going, going since the first day of school, and I …

A few weeks ago, I asked the Kelleigh Ratzlaff Designs Facebook Fans what color I should paint my front door and you guys come up with some great color combos.  See, we were getting ready to paint our house so that it would stay in one piece over the rainy winter months, and I felt like we needed a change.  After all, if we were going to pay someone to paint the entire house, then I wanted to SEE the difference!!
Here is the BEFORE.  Please keep in mind that we …

Taking two little boys to the grocery store is torture for this mama.  TORTURE.  You know how I sometimes complain about the two of them loving on one another a little too much in the store resulting in falling down in the aisles or chasing one another around the produce?  This was not a “love” trip.  This was a, “Mom, why did you decide to have another kid?  I wish you didn’t have another kid. Why didn’t you stop at me? I don’t want my brother.” trip. True story.
{Sigh}  So, …
