Happy Easter, sad Sunday paper!

I don't know about you guys but I sure had a fabulous Easter weekend.  I was surrounded by family and watched my little girl have the time of her life.  I'm sure Eli had fun too but, I think hes still kind of indifferent to things, haha.  We went to Farmerville, Louisiana this weekend to be with my in-laws. The home they have there is more farm-ish and it was like being at Dewberry farm for a whole weekend and not having to share or wait in line for anything.
Chris' parents, known as Mimi and Big to the grand kids, bought a small donkey for the kids.  Emma woke up Friday morning and by 9 she was up on the donkey taking laps around the pasture.  They also have a big sand hill they made for the kids with a culvert through the center of it so they can play in the "tunnel." We got the pool and the slip and slide. Both Emma and her cousin Annie brought their power wheels. Big set up a tent for the girls to play in and we even enjoyed a campfire and marshmallow roasting, a first for Emma. I was able to show of my couponing skills with a trip to Walmart. We saved $23, not bad for no planning. Of course there were Easter baskets, Easter candy galore, and an egg hunt.  I also managed to squeeze in a few photo sessions.  All and all it was just the best weekend.

Now, on to the business.  No coupons in this Sunday paper : (  I know, I know...which is sadder the fact there are no coupons or the fact that it saddens me.  haha!  Well to give you a heads up, they do not put coupons in papers that a holiday falls on the Sunday. However, do not despair, I have lots of great deals for you from some of the coupons in previous papers.
But first I wanted to share this handy little thing with you.  I think it is a fabulous idea if your coupons will fit in it.
