I don't need any Old Spice right now. I am have a few and we're stocked up. Charmin I only need if it's at least $1/1 and has an expiration of late April or later. I am interested in the Welch's however. What amount and expiration is it?

About Me
I'm a recently laid off mama to an awesome (nearly) one year old, Jackson. He's a tenacious little guy! Walking without any help, trying to climb stairs and unlocking all the "babyproof" locks... he's into it all! But he has a smile that changes my world and gives the best (slobbery) kisses ever!

I love all things green, natural, ecofriendly, and earthy crunchy.

My husband and I are totally enjoying the whole new parent experience and Jackson keeps us very entertained.

Balance? Whats that?

So, like most moms out there, I am finding myself over-commited, over-scheduled, and under stress! Although I am developing my own techniques for keeping life organized and productive, I am curious about how other moms out ther do it.

I work part time (20 hours a week) from my home while taking care of my very happy-always hungry-wants my full attention 24/7 6 month old. I run the errands like grocery shopping, picking up the mail, and just about everything else. I'm also very active on SwapMam… Continue

Coupon Swapping... Why my latest obsession should become yours too.

Well, I have been a member here on Swap Mamas for a little over a week I'd say. I'm a work at home mom to a 5 month old boy and like everyone else, we don't have a surplus of money after the bills get paid. I signed up to get $5 Similac coupons in the mail after my son started on formula. They send you maybe one a month... my little guy goes through a canister a week, so although it was helpful it wasn't enough. Thats when I stumbled upon coupon swapping.

I had no idea that this was common, but… Continue
