It has been a total of three whole weeks since I have stepped foot into a store, other than the drive thru for numerous prescriptions for my little one being sick. Good thing I have a stockpile!

There is always a way to pay less for the items you want.
If you are not aware of a sale going on in a particular store ask the manager or a sales associate. It never hurts to ask. You may be pleasantly surprised.
Gift Cards:
1. Use the coupons for RX to get free gift cards.
2. Purchase Restaurant.com gift cards at a fraction of the cost. Selected restaurants only and restrictions apply, but you can find up to 90% off at different times during the year.
3. Use the points from your credit card to purchase gift cards for giving all throughout the year. Not all credit car...

Fridays at my house are usually called "FUN Friday", but since today is Good Friday we will take a different approach.
This meal will be a lesson about Easter. The kids will help me prepare all items and I will explain and talk about the events that happened on this day.
Recipe is from my Nanny, who made this for me many times when I was little.
These are the items you will need:
Thickly Homemade bread or Texas Toast
Butter
Eggs
Salt and Pepper to taste
Cookie cutters in shapes of a Heart and Man (I used a Gingerbread man)
