Bassinet

I have an almost new bassinet that we used for Hailey. It looks just like the image above and has the mobile, music, several extra sheets, wheels, rocker, etc.... If anyone would like to borrow it just let me know. You can keep it for as many months as you want. I feel like it's a waste to just keep it stored away. Especially since we won't be needing it again anytime soon!

Looking for a seamstress

I am looking for someone who is great on a sewing machine and is looking for a couple projects to do! If you know of anyone please let me know.
Thanks

Hairdresser

Does anyone have any recommendations for an awesome hairdresser?? I have been living here for over two years and have not found a good hairdresser. And I don't visit Vegas often enough to go to my amazing hairdresser there :) I hope this is ok to post on here, because I need a haircut so bad!

snack tray for kids

Here is a great idea for a party, a little kid get together or whatever. Kind of fun way for them to try new foods! Plus it looks cute!

ARIZONA REPUBLIC

Hi Everyone- we are trying to get the Arizona Republic delivered out here so we can use the coupons foe Coupon Sense and Pinching you Pennies and whatever else people need them for - but we are getting conflicting info on whether or not they are delivered here. As of now we are being told that there is a route here but not enough people have requested the Republic to make it profitable to deliver out here - so I am trying to get a count of how many people would order the paper if it was out here and how many papers you would get- for example I would get the paper Tuesday through Sun but get 4-5 papers on Sunday. I pay about $30 a month which includes membership to coupon sense and the paper subscription. The paper subscription itself is $16 a month but that is with 4 Sunday papers. So if you are interested please let me know. Also if you are interested in coupon sense or pinching your pennies let me know as well.

Ice Cream Butterfinger Pie

Butterfinger Pie
1 c crushed graham cracker
1/2 c saltine crackers
1/2 c butter
crush crackers well, melt butter and mix butter and crackers together. push into bottom of a cake pan. (9x13)

2 pkgs vanilla instant pudding
2 cups cold milk
(mix together well & set aside)

4 c cool whip
1/2 gallon ice cream (I buy the vanilla ice crm that comes in a rectangle contanier...take the container off and slice it up with a knife... this way it goes in the mixer and mixes easier and faster) Mix cool whip and ice cream

Mix pudding mixture with ice cream/cool whip mixture

6 butterfinger bars (4inside and 2 for on top)
smash with hammer
add the 4 crushed bars to the ice cream mixture and pour into pan on top of crust. sprinkle remaining butterfinger pieces on top.

Put into freezer for a couple hours. You can test it with a knife. You want it to be firm enough to cut but not solid frozen. (sometimes I put it into the freezer over night and then let it thaw for an hour before the event on the counter or in the fridge)

Sale

Children's Place is having an end of season sale. 30 % off all non-sale items (I think) and many racks are marked down to $3.99, $2.99 and even $1.99. We stocked up on things for next summer for our kids and got a great deal.

Desert Museum

Riley has been doing the summer reading program at the library this month. He earned a child's pass to the Desert Museum, but children 5 and under are free so we will not be using it. If anyone out there is interested in it, please let me know. I'd love for someone to get to use it.

COUPONING

Just an FYI if you're interested in couponing. If you become a member (which is free) on www.pinchingyourpennies.com they have a deal with the Arizona Republic now that allows you to get up to 6 set of coupons each week. I did this in Utah and loved it! It allows you to stock up on good sales. Good way to get a food storage for cheaper. The prices for the paper range from $18/month to $27/month depending on how many extra Sunday papers you want. It might sound like a lot but I promise you will save more than this every month if you use your coupons. If you have any questions, let me know and I can help you. I am so excited they finally have this offer here in Arizona.

Cute Swimsuits!

A friend of mine, (thanks justina) had this website on her blog with cute modest swimsuits. Upon browsing on their site I looked up at the top of the page and it said "Your cart is empty, how sad for you" Isn't that the truth!! There are some cute swimsuits on this site and I thought I would share :)

Trinity Gymnastics

I have been taking Riley to Trinity for gymnastics for several months. I just received their fall schedule and they are taking registrations now. They have parent/tot classes for children 1-2 1/2 years and then starting at 2 1/2 they can go to class alone (my favorite part!). The classes start at $6/week and go up depending on how long class is. The younger children have 30 minute classes. They also have dance and art classes. The gym is off Shannon at Ina (right behind LA Fitness). The ladies that teach are great. Riley really enjoys going and has lots of fun. If anyone is interested in a copy of the schedule, please let me know. Their contact info is 797-8100 or TrinityTucson@gmail.com.
