My Excuse .....

Isn't he the cutest?!? This pic was taken yesterday as Tade napped on the couch amidst all of the chaos around him. How do babies do that?!? Anyway, my new little man has kept me pretty busy this last six weeks so I apologize for my absence on this blog. I probably won't be making quite as many shopping trips as I did before Tade arrived, but I am starting to get back in the game and promise to try and post the really awesome deals when they come along! Also make sure and follow the gals on my blog list - they do a fantastic job of posting all of the weekly deals and coupon match-ups! Happy Shopping!
