Easter, my husband's project and CVS

Hello everyone,  I'm sorry to have taken such a long blogging break.  Spring is just a busy time, right?

We had a lovely Easter with almost all our family.  First was church, and then to our home for lunch, visiting and egg coloring,

Baby RJ is growing and quite a charmer ❤

His big sister Charlie is a bundle of smiles and activity. 
We didn't plan it but Aqua was the color of the day for many of us.  


This is baby RJ, sitting with my dad and cousin Jackson.  Jackson doesn't talk a lot but he does know anyone smaller than him is a baby and "baby" is one of his words.

There was no outdoor egg hunting because of rain but the grands had a great time coloring eggs.
That's the 6 oldest grands around this table with my brother and his girlfriend behind the 2 grands that  needed the most supervising.


This picture sums up what 2 almost two year olds are like - mostly just a blur 😂


My son has been re-doing his work office for awhile.  His window had a basic miniblind that he didn't like and he didn't want drapes.
He asked his dad to make this window cover - it's various widths of wood, stained in an assortment of stains, then attached to a frame and hung over the window.  
I think it turned out so nice.  Our son and his boss both like it a lot too. 


I haven't been to CVS in a few weeks but I had $20 in extracarebucks from a previous visit that were going to expire soon.  
I went planning to buy just 3 packs of Cottonelle that were on a deal. 
Well. My store was out of Cottonelle so I looked my in store coupons and the add and did a different deal. 
On the Scrubbing Bubbles, I used a $2/2 coupon on each pair.
I had a $2 instore any toilet paper coupon on the Total Home.
By purchasing $30 on these products, I got back a $10 extracarebucks for next time.
I used a $1 on any chips on the cheese balls and a $2 on any greeting card for the card.


My total was about $36 before coupons and went down to $3.22 after coupons.  
So even when deals don't go as planned, I still think it's worth it to shop deals at CVS.  
I know lots of you use cheaper, homemade cleaners, but I was not happy with them.  We have hard, heavy on lime water, and it needs extra help.
