With me having done my final grocery shop for the month of May, I am sad to update that I did not meet my challenge. In fact, I stayed right about where I normally am.($624/mth = $124/week)
I am happy to report that I DID save a total of $97.00 for the month between coupons and price matching (which is equivalent to approx 15% of my total - meaning that on top of what I spent, I got 15% MORE than what I normally would!)
A few thoughts on why I did not achieve my target - when planning out the month, I forgot that with May falling hte way it did I would be doing FIVE grocery shops instead of FOUR. We had company for dinner 3 nights - which is extra that I was NOT planning on (but great food and a great time had, so it was worth it) It has been hot - so treats were added in (a box of freezies - this should last us until end of June, or mid - July) and a box of drumsticks as well.
If I factor in these amounts, and minus them - I am still over budget, but only by approx.$110.00
Thanks for following along - I am still going to try and get the grocery bill down further than what I have been. My goal is to save approx 25-30% every month!

#Wrap Trap - review and discount code from @onsgear
The Wrap Trap is a neat little tool used to help keep the filling inside of a wrap - it keeps the bottom of the wrap "trapped" together so that the kids hands don't need to. The Wrap Trap is made in Canada, and developed by a Canadian mom! They are made from hard plastic (BPA and Lead free), and were designed so little hands cannot open them.
I know with my kids, anytime I give them a wrap the first thing they do is unroll it and pull out the filling - the Wrap Trap makes that a little more difficult. They recommend that you fill the wrap, roll it, trap each end and then cut in the middle. This worked well for us.
They are available in 2 different sets (cat/frog or panda/hippo). As the child eats, they have the eye's/mouth of the animal looking at them!
The retail price is $8.50, and can be purchased online at www.onsgear.com- where you will find their other innovative products as well.
ONS GEAR is offering my readers a discount code, valid until July 31, 2012 for 10% off - just enter WrapMom (case sensitive) at checkout!

sometimes being a mom is difficult
A few months ago I met with our family doctor to discuss Julien. No matter how many hours he sleeps, he never seems rested. He always yawns and even though he can be full of energy, you can tell he is fatigued. She suggested it could be his iron levels, and gave me a requisition for blood work.
I will admit that I have put off getting it done because of his fear of needles. However, the dentist suggested that we see an ENT for possibly enlarged adenoids or tonsils, and I know that my doctor will want to rule out his iron levels as the culprit first - so I decided that today was the day.
Needles don't bother me, never have. I am fascinated by blood work and always watch them stick the needle and the blood going into the vial.....we have never made a big deal about needles, but he is young and thinks they hurt.
I didn't give him much prep before we went. They had him sit on my lap and I asked him to look at the emergency lights on the wall....the lady took a little while getting everything ready, and JUST as she was about to put the needle in, Julien looked her way and freaked out. I had to trap his legs between mine and pin his left arm against my body and hold him while he screamed and cried and tried to get loose...the poor thing. I felt like such a horrible mom to be torturing him that way - but we needed to get it done. When it was over, he calmed down relatively quickly and we went to the drugstore in the plaza and got an ice cream sandwich. He was quite happy to tell his dad that he got his "blood checked" and that he cried during it....
Now, I really hope that we can avoid any more blood work until he is MUCH older....

Kids Email
I recently had the chance to test out a service geared for parents and kids - it is a kids email service. You register, add your child and create an email account for them. Once the account is created, there are parental control settings that you can change.
You can limit sending and receiving to the contact list only (which you would control); you can have it set so that all incoming and outgoing messages also go to YOUR inbox - so you can see what is being said (yes, there are privacy issues with this, but depending on the age of your child, it might be a good idea); you can limit it so that pictures cannot be received, bad words are filtered out etc.
There are 3 login options, one for the parent (which gives all the parental control features) one for the child (which would be like logging in to a regular email account), or one for a teen - you can personalize them to suit the age group they fall into.
I sent myself an email (from Julien's account) and immediately there was a notification in my inbox that there was an outgoing message from him to someone, and it included the message.
It was relatively easy to use, and the kids login feature offers a child friendly design as well. If you have children between the ages of 6 and 13, I highly recommend you check out this service!
You also have the option to add a tagline to the bottom of the email, which states that the email has originated from a child.
You can sign up for a free 30 day trial, pay month to month or a yearly subscription. A small cost for piece of mind that your children are safe.
*Tales of Mommyhood received compensation for testing out this service, however all opinons are honest. Your opinion and experience may vary*
the stuff memories are made of
Back before children - hubby and I spent most of our time on the couch watching tv. That was how we spent our evenings, and most weekend days. We often had company on weekend evenings for drinks or cards, but if not - we would most likely be watching a movie.
Fast forward to 2 kids later and we spend the majority of nice days outside. A few weeks ago, one of the first beautiful weekends we had, we were all out on the back deck - Julien was playing on his play structure, and Kyle was playing with the water table. It hit me how much "life" was missed before. We spent so much time cooped up in the house that we missed out on great opportunities outside.
I mentioned to my hubby how much time we wasted, and that being outside with the boys was better than sitting inside on the couch any day. He agreed and I just can't help but think about all the great memories we are helping to create with our boys. All the family time we have together, exercising our bodies and minds.

My newest venture
This week, I decided to do something new. Something I never thought I would do - something that is completely out of my comfort zone.
I became a Norwex Independent Consultant; shy little me that almost completely shuts down when faced with public speaking; who tends to sit in the corner not speaking when I am in a situation with people I don't know. I am hoping that it goes well - I am amazed with the product. I was very skeptical when I first found out about it, and when I had the opportunity to try out one of the enviro cloths, I was sold.
Since having my children, I have become more aware of how many chemicals are in the house. I hate to use them when the kids are around, because I don't want them breathing them in. I don't want them touching the tables or windows after I have cleaned (one because it completely undoes the work I put in, and second, because the chemicals can be absorbed through the skin).
When I found out that I could clean my house with using just water, I was intrigued - and very happy. If you would like to learn more about the Norwex product, feel free to leave a comment or send me an email and we can discuss what products would suit your needs!

Sex education
There is a museum exhibit opening soon regarding sex - there has been quite the uproar about it from parents - and I don't understand it. Here is a link to the article.
As I said - I don't understand the uproar. The museum has put age restrictions in place for this, and to be honest - by the time they are 16 (the age for unaccompanied children) they already KNOW a lot of this stuff. Whether they have learnt it from their parents, their teachers in class, or their friends is the question.
If my kids were 12, I would be heading down there as soon as possible to give them a chance to learn more.
Sex is a natural part of life - heck, without it MOST of us wouldn't be here. I grew up in a very open household, where my mother answered our questions honestly. She gave age appropriate answers, and we were always encouraged to ask questions if we had any.
I learnt about menstruation at a very young age - much younger than most. My friends and I ended up talking about it after our sex ed class in Grade 5 - and then came to school the next day and told me that their moms told them they weren't allowed to talk to me about it - and that I lied. Girls/women didn't bleed from their genitals monthly, and they didn't know why I would say something like that.
I couldn't understand why their mothers would tell them that (heck, we had JUST learnt about it in sex-ed - it wasn't like I came to school spewing all this stuff out of nowhere). I can't imagine a mom actually LYING about it - take the opportunity to educate them so that WHEN they get their first period they won't think they are dying.
I also believe that sex education is more than just about sex. It needs to be an open dialogue between parents and children from the time they are born - and this begins with the parent. When your teaching children their body parts - use the proper names. Penis, Scrotum, Vulva, Vagina, Bum. There is nothing wrong with the proper names, and if people used them more there wouldn't be such a stigma or embarassment about them. You don't call a nose a winkle do you? Penis - Vagina - I can say it without embarassment. Kids explore their bodies - pretty much every diaper change Kyle grabs his penis - so I tell him what it is called, along with his scrotum and I did the same with Julien. The boys are practically attached to me as I am going to the bathroom - they know that I don't have a penis, they know that I have a period (they don't understand yet, but why would I lie to them - when I was asked what it was I simply replied that mommies get what is called a period and it helps them to have a baby when the time is right - simple answer, he moved on)
Start young - really - it is easy. The more you talk about it in daily life, the easier it is. If you wait until you think they are ready to have "the talk" - not only is it embarassing for them and you - you will most likely be too late.

Money Saving Monay - Laundry
Money Saving Monday is back! Today we will talk a bit about how to save money on laundry and dishwashing.
First, start washing your clothes in cold water - that simple switch can start saving you a little money.
Next, air dry - you can either hang your items outside in the sun (which acts as a stain remover too - not sure why, but the direct sunlight can help remove hard to get out stains - this is how I get stains out of my sons poopy cloth diapers, the rays also have antibacterial properties in them too) if you don't want to hang them outside, you can also set up a drying rack in your house. The clothes take a little longer, and you don't have the effect of the suns rays - but it works.
third - do the majority of your laundry after 7pm, or on weekends (if your hydro company utilizes time of use rates - these are the cheaper times)
fourth - if your using your dryer, try and do a few loads back to back - saves energy because the dryer doesn't cool all the way down and have to start back from the beginning!
Use the timer on your dishwasher and set it to start after 7pm - cheapest time to run appliances

May Grocery Challenge - update
This was my 2nd week for my May grocery challenge - and I have a feeling I will not be meeting my goal of $400.00.
My shop today should last until next friday, but that means that I have $129.00 left for the last 2 weeks. It is doable - but it will be tight. This week I spent $86.00 - but my total value of product was $108.00 - so I saved $22.00 with price matching and coupons!
Wish me luck for the coming weeks

Before I was a mom
with Mothers Day approaching, I thought I would post about my life before I was a mom
Before I was a mom:
- I didn't have anyone relying on me for every little thing;
- I could pretty much come and go as I pleased, without having to schedule around feedings and nap/sleep times
- I could sleep in whenever I wanted
- I could stay in bed when I was sick
- I could say whatever I wanted without worrying about my child repeating it
- I never knew the joy that a laugh could bring
- I didn't know the sadness of leaving your child in hospital, and going home without them
- I had never stayed up late, worrying about a sick child
- I never understood the effect of seeing your child in pain, hurt or sick has on a parent
- I didn't know the emotions that go with holding your child, or the complete and utter amazement at nourishing them from my body
- I didn't know the joy of holding a sleeping child, or comforting them when they are sad/sick/upset
- I had never witnessed the discovery of childhood - watching a butterfly, seeing the flowers and being amazed at puddle jumping
- I didn't get to experience the joy of watching a child walk for the first time, talk for the first time
- I didn't get to experience snotty, dirty faced hugs and kisses
- I didn't know what loving a child was
and most of all - before I was a mom I didn't know that I could love someone as much as I love Julien and Kyle - you boys make my world complete - and I cannot imagine my life without you. Thank you for loving me and teaching me new things everyday!
