Spring Break and Free Food!!

Spring Break for us was last week.

We went to the Historic Arkansas Museum in Little Rock. It was really good. The guided tour is informative and entertaining. Upstairs at the museum tucked away in a corner is a childrens room. It has a place for the kids to play dress-up, have puppet shows, play games, and watch educational videos.

We also went to the MacArthur Military Museum. It wasn't on my list of fun things to do over spring break, but it wasn't so bad. They give the kids age appropriate scavenger hunts to do while they walk through the museum. My kids thought it was great, they are always up for a game. They even got a little prize for getting all the answers correct!

Because I am so cheap, the best part of the week was at Shorty Smalls!

We ate lunch there on Monday. At the end of our lunch the manager came by with free coupons to use on our next visit. We were excited and decided when we came back on Thursday to see the military museum that we would once again eat at Shorty Smalls.

And we did.

We used our 2 free appetizer coupons, our 3 free entree coupons, our 1 free milkshake coupons, our 1 free dessert coupon, and our $2.00 off coupon. There were 8 of us. We paid $14.00, for our drinks, tax and Anna's meal. We ate $81.00 worth of food. We got the biggest appetizers, the biggest steak, and the biggest plate of ribs. It was a good food experience!

At the end of that dinner, the manager came by with more free coupons. Oh my goodness!
They had to be used in a very short amount of time, so I gave them to a friend of mine that was going to be in Little Rock on Monday. Her family of 6 ate very cheaply too.

It was a good spring break, and a cheap spring break! The best kind!!!

We went to Shorty Smalls last summer. It was really good. Apparently, I don't just need to go shopping with you to save money, but out to eat too! Way to go with the coupons! You are my coupon hero! You should teach a class:)

A Blind Date & Leaving Comments

8 years ago today I met this sweet man in the picture above. We met on a blind date in the Bluff City (aka- Memfrica). He and I were simply going out to shut up his stepmother and my sister, who had decided that we were meant to be together from one simple fridge photo and a dog named Abby. Little did we know they would be able to pat themselves on the back for the rest of their lives . I am so glad we both agreed to go out for that one date on New Years Eve 2001 because I have had him in my life everyday since that crazy night at my cousin Hollye's back door when he arrived to pick me up to find a baby on my hip that he thought was mine. I remember those beautiful blue eyes and how they about popped out of his head as he stood at the door wondering why no one had mentioned my child. That baby on my hip was Claire. She was 1 then and had just gone number 2 in her diaper right before he rang the bell. She had Styrofoam all over her and me from playing in Christmas boxes. Needless t

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good party has to have go
