I would like to wish all the Mom’s out there HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY.

I know I haven’t really been around that much this past week. That’s because of this cute little guy! Our new little bundle of joy arrived last Thursday healthy and happy as can be. I have been trying to get settled into a new routine with him and my 1 year old and 2.5 year old (his big brothers love him to pieces). Amazingly, all three little guys are napping at the same time right now!!! I can only hope that happens more often :)

I’ve also been trying to post when I get a few minutes here and there, but I just wanted everyone to know I hope to be around more consistently within a week or so!

Have you missed me? I’ve missed you! Last week I told you I was moving and to expect a decrease in posts. Well, I didn’t expect to be without internet for more than a day or so. But, of course, that’s how it ended up and I was MIA for a few days. Luckily, I am finally connected again! We haven’t set up the wireless network yet so I am kinda limited, but I just wanted to let you know I am back :)

Hope everyone is doing great and I can’t wait to get back in the swing of things. I feel like I am going to be buried in boxes forever!

I just wanted to let everyone know you might notice a decrease in posts over the next week or so.

We are moving into our brand new house tomorrow, 12/8! It’s been stressful and we have a lot to do once we get in there. We only get about 2 weeks to get settled in for Christmas! We plan on hosting the family gatherings this year so we have no choice but to be settled in quickly. One thing is for sure… I can’t wait to get the Christmas tree and decorations up, because it hasn’t quite felt like the holidays without them (we didn’t decorate at our current home, knowing we were moving). I made sure the Hubby knew that’s one of the first things I wanted done this weekend!

Another stress? We haven’t picked out all the colors, designs,  furniture, etc for the house yet. We have a clean white slate to work with and we can’t figure anything out. I am definitely pretty sick of furniture shopping. I don’t want to go to another furniture store for a long time. We did get a new sofa/loveseat set so far. I have decided to wait until we put them in the room to decide a color to paint the walls and what kind of tables to get.

And then…on top of trying to move, I am now 34 weeks along. Baby boy #3 (still no name) is doing good, but we do think his arrival will come early, maybe before the new year. I have been ordered to stay off my feet as much as possible, but anyone with a toddler (or two) knows that’s a lot easier said than done! However, the hubby has been great and done most of the packing (the few hours he isn’t at work). Hopefully I don’t overdo myself once we get into the new house.

So that is what is going on in the world of Nifty Mom! I will try to post some great deals when I see them and have access to a computer. I have some posts and guest posts scheduled throughout the next week as well. Thanks for being a reader of Nifty Mom!

Happy Holidays!

That’s how I have felt lately, but not that bad, and it’s more in a good way… You may have noticed I haven’t been posting as much this past week and/or I have been a little behind. I just wanted to give my wonderful readers a little update on what’s going on over here. It have been a little crazy, but mostly a good crazy! Why?!?!…..

We found out we are having another baby! We are very excited, but it has made me one tired Momma. Chasing around an almost 2 year old and 9 month old wears me out as it is! I normally write posts after the boys all go to bed. But lately, I have just been so tired I just go right to bed.

Since our family is growing again, we started looking at new houses this week. It has been so time consuming just looking at them online. That is taking up a lot of my ‘me’ time as well. We are going to look at some houses this weekend, so my normal Weekly Ad Top Deals might be a little later than usual.

Don’t worry, I am posting as much as I can and as many deals as I can find for you.

Also, I would like to welcome all my newest readers! Glad you are here. Here is a tentative schedule of some of the post you will find each week:

• Throughout the week – Daily posts including new coupons, online deals, store deals, free events, freebies and samples
• At least once a week – A new recipe or DIY/Craft project
• Once a week – Couponing 101 Series
• Weekly Ad Top Deals (coupon matchups):
  • Walgreens: Saturday Afternoon
  • Target: Late Saturday Night/Early Sunday Morning
  • Shop N Save: Sunday Afternoon
  • Schnucks: Late Sunday Night/Early Monday Morning

I will keep you updated on any changes, etc. Thank you for being a Nifty Mom reader!
