Pigs like PB&C!








Today we made cookies....peanut Butter and Chocolate cookies to be exact! I think that it is truly hard to bake with peanut butter and NOT include chocolate. Anyways, here is the recipe, but I'll tell ya the process was better than the cookies! Haha!


1 Cup Flour
1/2 Cup PB
a 20 second long squeeze of honey
1 egg
about a 1/4 cup of brown sugar
1/2 bag of chocolate chips
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Bake at 375 for about 12 minutes or until lightly browned.





Getting her licks in...shh don't tell daddy...


Hey Momma, am I gonna get any of that action??

While we wait for the cookies to bake, a quick tutu change so that I can......



torture the little sister....oh poor Caroline!
Anyways, the cookies were yummy!

Mama Pig is Saving Money!

I know that it has been a very long time since my last post but what better way to welcome myself back then with money---lots of it! For all you mamas in the DC metro area-you should run, not walk, to Harris Teeter today because tomorrow their sale ends.

I have some friends from my MOPS group that swear by Harris Teeter because they accept all competitor's coupons and occasionally will double coupons. I coupled those two perks, along with their weekly specials to get two weeks of groceries---yes two weeks-- for $103!! That includes two packs of diapers, two huge bags of frozen chicken breasts, organic baby food, oodles of dried fruit and pasta and much, much more!! Here are some of my best deals. I will also include where I got the coupon and remember they double the coupons until tomorrow so some items end up being FREE!!!
