Changes

Wow! This year has been flying by. I haven't had a ton of time to dedicate to this blog and we have some more changes happening in our family coming up. So sadly, I am going to shut this blog down. I hope some of the things on this blog have been helpful. Maybe at some point in the future when my life is a little more conducive to doing a blog I can try to start it back up and really dedicate some time and make it good. Good-luck with future endeavors to save money, improve health, and have fun with your children!

Hot/Cold

Here is another cute file folder game to help with learning the difference between hot and cold. Click here to get this fun game. Enjoy! Thanks Filefolderfun!

Raw Milk

I found a location for raw milk in Queen Creek. Read up on the benefits of raw milk. Its sad that the milk in most grocery stores have little or no nutritional value. Honestly I have mixed feeling about raw milk. I love milk, the milk at the grocery store. I don't know how I will like raw milk. I don't know if this will stick for our household but I do think its so much healthier than grocery store milk. If anything we can eliminate milk. My little guy seems to have less stomach problems when he doesn't drink very much milk anyways. Here is the link. If you interested in finding raw milk choices in your state click here. Milk is great for our health when its the right kind of milk. Thank you Sally Fallon!

Learning to Spell

Here is a great way to have your kids learn how to spell their name. I just got on Microsoft word and typed in each letter for their name. I selected a letter type I liked and printed out two copies of every letter. Use one set to glue to the file folder and cut and laminate the other. My younger son isn't old enough for this but I did his as well now so that when he can, he will be able to use this one too. * I wish I would have left a bigger gap between the first and last name an then used velcro underneath each letter to match them up. That way they can see the top letter and the letter they use to match at the same time.

Zaycon Foods Ground Beef

Zaycon Foods is doing ground beef in Mesa and Chandler. Click Here to order! Its a little more pricey than what you can get in the grocery store but it is a lot healthier. No added steroids or hormones. Here is the information from their website for the ground beef. *No chemicals, additives or water added to meat during processing *100% raised in the USA *Highest in food safety standards *No antibiotics or steroids The only thing I wish is that it was grass-fed cattle. It does say they hope to offer grass-fed soon. Still it is way better than what is in the store. The no antibiotics or steroids is huge. In the book "Real Food" by Nina Planck she has an entire chapter dedicated to real meat. In the chapter she addresses the over-use of antibiotics and steroids. A quote about steroids states, "Excess estrogen is linked to reproductive cancers including breast, prostate, and testicular cancer, and since 1950, such cancers have risen sharply." She goes on to say that breast cancer is up 55%, testicular 120%, and prostate 230%. This book is a great book. I highly recommend it. You can get it on amazon.com. I am excited about this chance to get some healthier beef for my family. I have two growing boys that will probably gobble it up. ;)

FHE Ideas

Monday's post is up a little early!

Every Monday I want to begin posting Family Home Evening ideas. For those of you who might not be familiar with Family Home Evening, its an evening set aside to spend with your family. I think its a wonderful idea to incorporate in any family. Building relationships with your family is one of the most important things we can do.

I love this dinosaur lesson. It teaches children how they should act. The colorful dinosaur in the middle is named "happyosaurus." I have it under the "manners" section in my FHE file. Click Here for the story or email me at kamscoupons@hotmail.com and I can send you the PDF file. I have it in color or black and white. Enjoy! Thanks Myheartandhome.com!

You Asked so here you go!

Everyone seems to be really interested in the file folder games I posted a week or so ago. I am so glad you have all enjoyed them as much as I have. Here are a few more ideas. I love he animal match. Great for pre-K kids learning their animals. My little boy loves cars so he loves playing the number cars match. There is also another color match one on here. I love having a variety of each skill. It changes it up some so they don't get bored just doing the same color match every time. Click Here to get the games below. I love this website. She has games for all ages. Thanks File Folder Farm!

Stay tuned for next Thursday when I will be posting more file folder game ideas! That way you have a week to get these started before getting the next batch of ideas. ;)

$10 off $50 or more at Fry's

Use this Fresh and Easy coupon when you do your shopping at Fry's this week. Also just a quick note, when I was checking out at Fry's last week the checker said you cannot combine a competitor coupon with a manufacturer coupon on one item. I ended up getting him to let me do it but he said I should just know for next time that I couldn't combine. I came home and looked up their coupon policy and you CAN use a competitor and manufacturer coupon on the same item. The checker was incorrect. If you have problems refer to Fry's coupon policy.
